Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, Joy in the mornings dirty on the thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
All right, we get you caught up on what's training
this morning in the dirty on the thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Shana, what you got well?
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This University of Pittsburgh student who disappeared while walking on
the beach in the Dominican Republic for spring break is
believed to have drowned, and I believe we have a news.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Story about her tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
The desperate search for a college student on spring break
missing in the Dominican Republic. The helicopter flying above the
water off Puntakana searching for sud Shah Konanki seen here
on this missing poster. Search and rescue teams starting today
before sunrise. Dive teams joining the search. Dominican officials say
the twenty year old University of Pittsburgh student was lasting
(00:43):
on surveillance camera Thursday, just before five in the morning.
It's not clear if she was alone or with other people.
Konanki is an Indian citizen living in Virginia outside Washington,
d C. The Louden County Sheriff's Office in Virginia says
she was traveling with five other women, all student and
said pitt including her best friend from high school. Investigators
(01:04):
say the women are believed to have been staying at
the same hotel in Puntakana, the Hotel Reu Republica. According
to the Dominican Foreign Ministry, all six women were scheduled
to return on Friday. The five friends are still in
the Dominican Republic, a major question for investigators who was
last with her. The US State Department has issued a
travel advisory for the Dominican Republic level two out of four,
(01:26):
asking Americans to use increase caution, saying violent crime, including
armed robbery, homicide, and sexual assault is a concern. And lindsay,
we're just getting late word from investigator in the Dominican Republic.
Were being told they believe she may have drowned, or
being told that she was on the beach with a
group of people. Some of them left, she stayed and
went swimming with somebody they are still searching for.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, so she was there with five friends. Four of
them went back to their hotel, leaving her and one other.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Just could you imagine? I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And my son was just there and I told you
all week I was had anxiety about him being there.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I think that if you're going to spring break. You
spring break in our country.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And I'm going to say this, if God forbids something
like that happen, we have use of the US Coast Guard.
The US Coast Guard could be on alert doing it.
You don't have the craziness of these hotel workers that
potentially are trying to take advantage of these you know,
college and high school kids that are spring breaking there.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And which doesn't seem like it's the situation or the
case here, but that we've heard that happening, we don't
time and time again.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I mean, they're just presuming she drowned at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
But and the people that are friends of hers, those
girls that are friends of hers, do not they meet
boys or they meet you know girls, And do not
let your friends wander off. And do not go swimming
in even the water the ocean. I wouldn't swim in
that ocean. I'm going to tell you some of that.
We went to Puntakana years and years ago. They said
that some of the riptides were some of the worst
(03:00):
tides that are right off of that water. I'd be
in a swim, you get in a stay in your
swimming pool, you hang out during the day, you go
to dinner at night, you eat it, you know a restaurant,
you go out and party or whatever. Like Luke said,
he did a booze cruise. And these kids are on
these booze cruises with a bunch of college kids from
all over the place. The workers on the on the
thing are walking around offering you, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Drugs and things like that. It's crazy, no way, so scary.
God two back to backseat stories.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
But I do have an update on the death of
actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy. They died of
natural causes a week apart. I mean, this is just
a crazy story. So the State Medical Examiner's office said
Betsy died first, probably around February eleventh, of a rare
viral infection. It's called handavirus pulmonary syndrome. It's spread through
an infection by rodents Okay, Jeane. They say probably died
(03:49):
around February eighteenth, so well full week later, which is
when the last activity on his pacemaker was recorded. Their
bodies found in separate rooms in their private home in
Santa Fe. The Chief Medical Investigator also noted that Gene
Hackman may have not even been aware that his wife
had passed away. Because he showed evidence of advanced Alzheimer's disease,
(04:11):
Honey was some people not happy with him again. Yesterday morning,
he posted a photo of well definitely looked to me
like a KKK robe, captioned outfit of the Day. Hours later,
he posted a screen grab of a text exchange that
he had with his former choirmaster Jason White, announcing the
return of his Sunday service sessions. That's happening on March sixteenth,
(04:37):
this coming Sunday.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
He tries to outshock everything all the time, doesn't He
does these things at some point. I'm surprised that the
social media accounts don't just take his stuff down for
the things he does.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, I don't think he can. You can't. They took it.
They did it during the elections.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
The Instagram, they took down the outfit of the day
that Shannon is talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But like disbanding his account, I don't know if you
can do that. They're all privately owned.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They did it to Trump when he was running for
office because they didn't like the stuff it was exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I thought that was Elon's whole thing, though, But Elon
bought Twitter to give it back to him.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But what about Facebook and Instagram? He doesn't know on
those they did all that stuff. I just think that
Kanye's just unraveled crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's not good.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
And I tease this during the five at six fifty five.
It is true. It's not just a rumor. Prince or
no King, Sorry, Charles King. Charles is now a DJ
over on Apple Music. He released his own personal playlist
on Apple Music to mark Commonwealth Day, which is today.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me.
It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort
us in times of sadness that's fake, and to take
us to distant cases?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Is that John Lithgow doesn't it exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's like Ania's playlist in case you are curious, Bob Marley, Grace.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Jones and he's a Kylie Minogue fan KG He's what
who is this list again, Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Now I went away from my page.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I don't know who the other person was. Huh. Interesting?
Also sure, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
For all of today's dirty search Mojo in the Morning
in the.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
What would you do if if Prince Charles that they
did like videos of him dancing, like in his underwear.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think honestly didn't love actually, but it would probably
it would.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It would get bajillions of of views, don't you think
if you want, if.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He wants to read, yeah, there you go. Still Tiam Diana.
Oh we always are Team Diana. I wish him nothing
but the worst
