The transcript from Joshua Riibe's police interview has emerged, detailing his final moments with missing spring breaker Sudiksha Konanki: 'We were in waist-deep water. We talked and kissed a bit,' Riibe said. 'A big wave came and hit us both. And when the water returned, it swept us out to sea. As soon as we were able to surface, we tried to call for help.' 'I was getting tired. I realized she was getting tired of swimming too. I've been a lifeguard. I grabbed her and pulled her out. I held her under my arm and swam to get her out of the water,' Riibe said. 'It took me a long time to get her out. It was difficult. I was a lifeguard in a pool, not at sea. I was trying to get her to breathe the whole time. That didn't let me breathe the whole time and I swallowed a lot of water. I could have lost consciousness several times.' 'When I finally reached the ground on the beach, I held her in front of me. She wasn't out of the water, she was knee-deep and walking at an angle out the water,' he said. 'The last time I saw her, I asked if she was okay. I didn't hear her reply because I started vomiting all the water I had swallowed. After vomiting, I looked around. I didn't see anyone. I thought she had grabbed her things and left.' He told investigators that he then passed out on the beach and did not hear anything about Sudiksha until the next day when her friends texted his friend. 'I felt really bad and tired. I laid down on a beach chair. I fell asleep because I couldn't go far,' Riibe said. 'Then I woke up because of the sun and because mosquitoes were biting me. I went to my friend's room to get my phone and then went back to my room to sleep.' When asked if he can verify his statements, what he told his friend, if Sudiksha knew how to swim, if she made any cries for help, if he told authorities what happened on the beach and how he feels about the situation - he had the same response. 'My lawyers advise me not to answer that question and I follow their advice,' Riibe told investigators before going silent. Read more at DailyMail.com
