Missing Student Sudiksha Konanki's Parents Explain Why They Want To Declare Her Dead Before Investigation Is Even Over

Sudiksha Konanki's parents are speaking out. It's been 12 days since the University of Pittsburgh student vanished on her Dominican Republic vacation. That's long enough that her parents seem to have lost all hope they'll ever see her again . . . On Monday, Dominican Republic National Police spokesperson Diego Pesqueira revealed Sudiksha's mother and father, Sreedevi and Subbarayudu Konanki, wrote to the agency asking them to declare their daughter dead - despite their ongoing investigation and lack of any solid evidence. It seemed like a hasty request. Do they just take for granted . . .
