Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True crime.

STS host and award-winning journalist Joel Waldman brings us up to date in the latest investigation of missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki. Sudiksha was in the Dominican Republic on a trip with college friends when she vanished on March 6th, 2025. It's now been 11 days and no one knows where Sudiksha is. We're hoping and praying she's okay but these cases don't always end well...

Police are holding the passport of an American man who was last seen Sudiksha on surveillance videos. What are investigators doing to rule him out? Has the situation escalated...? Could he become a suspect or is this all a tragic drowning accident?
