Before her disappearance, she was last seen in Los Angeles, California, on May.28. According to the missing persons report, Kandula was driving a California-licensed Toyota Corolla.
After Kandula was reported missing, the police encouraged anyone with information about her whereabouts to step forward. However, even after she was found, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear.
While Nitheesha Kandula was located within a week, under the vigilant watch of the police, the same cannot be said for some other students. In April, Mohammed Abdul Arfath, a 25-year-old student from Hyderabad enrolled at Cleveland University, was discovered deceased in Cleveland after being reported missing since March. Similarly, Rupesh Chandra Chintakindi, aged 26, has been missing in Chicago since May.2.
