The other major factor raising suspicion against Riibe is that during questioning, he gave three different versions of his account of what happened on 6 March.

In one version, he told police that he and Konanki went swimming and were caught in a wave. He claims that after swallowing water, he became ill and returned to his hotel room.

In his second version of the statement, Ribe stated that strong waves hit him and Konanki, and while he managed to get out, before passing out on the beach, he last saw Konanki in knee-deep water.

While in his final version, he stated that he saw Konanki walking along the beach, with the water up to her knees, heading toward a lounge chair where she had left her cover-up.

Contradicting most parts of his statement, reports suggest that surveillance footage reveals that Riibe returned to his hotel at 8:54 a.m. barefoot and shirtless. However, there has been no video evidence showing Konanki after 5:55 a.m.

Are these 3 versions necessarily inconsistent, though? In each version, he comes out of the water and eventually goes back to his hotel room, while she is still in the water when he last sees her. Would it be likely that surveillance somewhere would have shown them if they had gone somewhere together between 5:55 and 8:55 a.m.? It seems likely that there would be some witnesses walking the beach prior to 8:55 a.m. who could say whether or not he was there asleep on the beach. If he was, agree that it would be highly doubtful that he would have killed her then fallen asleep on the beach, where her friends knew she was when they last saw her. [/quote]
