SPRING BREAK NIGHTMARE: US student missing in Dominican Republic: Person of interest named

The search for missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki led to a new development on the beach where she vanished.

On Tuesday, two police sources told ABC News that Konanki's clothes were found on a portable beach bed close to where she disappeared.

LiveNOW's Mike Pache spoke about the new developments with FOX News correspondent Nate Foy.

Konanki was last seen entering the beach early Thursday morning at the five-star Riu Republica Resort in Punta Cana, according to La Policia Nacional, the country's national police force.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office in Virginia, where Konanki lives, told Fox News Digital that Konanki was on the trip with a group of six female Pitt students.

Dominican police have said they are investigating one of Konanki's friends and are looking to corroborate claims from a "young man" who was also in the water on the day of her disappearance.

The man reportedly said he entered the water with Konanki, but the rough surf made him sick, so he went back to shore, leaving Konanki in the water.

In another version of the story, he said he felt sick and left Konanki in knee-deep water before he passed out on the beach. The man additionally claimed he saw Konanki walking on the beach before he fell asleep on the beach, according to reporting from Noticias SIN.

On Sunday night, Dominican officials told ABC News they believe Konanki drowned.

The Loudon County Sheriff's Office filed for a Yellow Notice to be issued by INTERPOL – a worldwide police alert for a missing person.

The University of Pittsburgh Police Department also provided an update Monday, saying they are also working with the Loudon County Sheriff's Office in the search efforts for Konanki.
