Newly emerged footage shows missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki and the person of interest in her case at an outdoor bar before she disappeared from a Punta Cana beach earlier this month.

Joshua Riibe was interrogated by Dominican Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso and Navy Vice Admiral Agustin Morillo Rodriguez until nearly 3 am on March 16.

Joshua Riibe, the person of interest in Sudiksha Konanki's March 6 disappearance in the Dominican Republic, has spoken out for the first time, stating that he is 'just trying to help.'
