A search for missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki has led to a new development on the beach where she disappeared.
On Tuesday, two police sources told ABC News that Conanki's clothes were found in a portable beach bed near where she disappeared.
According to National Police La Policia Nacional, Conanki saw him enter the beach early Thursday morning at the five-star RIU Republica resort in Punta Cana.

Before her loss for, Conanki had seen her walking down the beach with six of them that night, three Dominican officials told ABC News.
Most people in the group returned to the hotel that night, but one person was behind with Conanki in the early hours of March 6th, ABC News reported, citing an investigation police report.
Dominican police say they are investigating one of Conanki's friends and are trying to support claims from the “young man” who was underwater on the day of her loss of disappearance.
The man reportedly went into the water with Conanki, but the rough waves made him sick, so he returned to the shore and left Conanki in the water.

In another version of the story, he says he's sick and leaves Conanki in the deep waters of his knees before he dies on the beach. According to a report from Noticias Sin, the man further claimed he saw Conanki walking along the beach before he fell asleep on the beach.
Sources told ABC News that security video captured a man returning to his hotel room just before 10am.
On Sunday night, Dominican officials told ABC News they believe Conanki owned.
