play involved, or is this just some tragic accident? >> reporter ronanki disappeared while on a spring break trip with five female friends at this popular resort, the hotel riu, last seen on this leaked cctv footage. police are now reviewing that footage and trying to piece together the moments leading up to subhiksha mysterious disappearance. officials say she was with her friends at a bar before heading to the beach. around 4 a.m. the rest of the girls went back to the hotel around 5:55 a.m. they were seen on cctv returning to their rooms, but konangi stayed behind with a man who is not considered a suspect. the man telling police they went into the water and got caught in a wave. >> the key i would be looking for if this were my case is i need to understand the male person that was with her that night, why he was there, where she met him, what conversations did they have? what was his intentions on the beach that

night? and why did they go in the water? and why didn't he go back and look for her if she didn't get out of the water? >> his clothes were found on a beach bed, and officials say there was no sign of violence. >> what do you believe happened to this college student? >> nosotros tenemos esperar. estamos esperando los resultados de las investigaciones se estan haciendo levantamientos de las camaras de video vigilancia entrevistas a las personas acompanaron entrevistas a testigos. a empleados del otro esperamos concluir esa parte. >> police believe the two were intoxicated, the man telling police he fell asleep on a lounge chair after throwing up, later seen on security cameras returning to the resort before 9 a.m. a family friend of the case telling us that the young man has been cooperating. >> we walked to the beach along with the boy, and the boy helped us and he was demoing us kind of like what really happened and where he was.

search. the safety and well-being of our guests are our highest priority, and we are fully committed to doing everything in our power to assist in this situation. the friends who took the trip with her are staying behind, hoping sudiksha is found safe. the beautiful beaches, now a major search area. >> our thanks to ariel. we will of course continue to follow the story as it develops. we turn now to the murder of tupac shakur. his deep influences live on. but who killed the rap legend has been an enduring mystery. the man who police have said was the shot caller in the crime, now recanting his earlier confession and naming names. here's nightline's ashwin singh. >> i'm innocent. i ain't killed nobody. never did ever kill nobody. >> the man now charged with the murder of rapper tupac shakur. dwayne d davis, speaking out in a jailhouse interview professing his innocence. >> they don't have no evidence

awaiting trial for first-degree murder. pleaded not guilty. >> how do you plead? guilty or not guilty? >> i'm guilty. i survived cancer. the streets and the fbi. that's a that's a big thing for a black man coming out of my community. >> the compton, california, native grew up with notorious figures in hip hop like marion suge knight, the death row records co-founder who was with tupac when he was shot. >> then what did you see? >> blood. >> did you see people with the guns? >> listen carefully. >> blood says. when they were boys, they played sports together. his dad, the coach. >> his dad and him taught us to be mayors. he was our football coach. >> but in the 90s, keef and shug found themselves on opposite sides of the raging battle between west coast rappers and their adversaries from the east coast. on one side, suge's death row records, which police say had connections to the bloods. on the other side, sean combs bad boy records. its biggest

star, the notorious b.i.g. with hits like juicy. >> hangin pictures on my wall, every saturday, rap attack, mr. magic, marley marl. >> authorities say bad boy affiliated itself with crips, sometimes hiring them as security. >> duane davis, by all accounts, was a well-established shot caller within the south side compton crips. he had worked his way up through the gang through narcotics trafficking and various other criminal activities. >> vegas police actually interviewed k d in 2009, 14 years before his arrest, tainting what they're calling a confession. >> i see the bullet, like, go to the head. i seen the boy jumping up and down trying to get in the back seat. >> the boy being tupac. >> now d is telling a far different story. he claims that he was in los angeles, 300 miles from las vegas, on the night tupac was gunned down. >> prove that i orchestrated this using your key witnesses.

orchestrated this? they top witness is the lead suspect. >> and his defense pointing to someone else. reggie wright jr, a former compton police officer and security guard for record mogul suge knight. >> he's a real suspect. well, he's a mercenary robber. >> the world just finding out about d. but we knew this in 96. >> we first spoke to reggie last year. he says he was at a nearby club. pac was slated to perform at when the shooting happened. >> you can always sit back and be like, damn, we should have done it this way. why didn't we operate that way? why didn't we have him in a bulletproof car? it hurt. i can put that as the top three worst days of my life is definitely when he died. >> reggie testified to the grand jury that indicted d. why did you decide to testify in the grand jury? >> well, number one, i was subpoenaed. but number two, i wasn't there. it's not like i'm getting on the stand and pointing it out. but if i was

sitting in the backseat of the car and i saw him, i would have. i believe that was reggie wright's job to do. and that's the code i live by. i don't live by a street code. i understand it, but that's not the code that i live by. >> reggie has denied any involvement in tupac's murder, saying these latest claims are an effort to use the media to slander me because he finally got arrested and has no other defense. prosecutors say d has incriminated himself multiple times over the years, from appearing in the docuseries death row chronicles. >> who shot tupac? >> to keep for the code of the streets. it just came from the backseat book. >> to writing a book and appearing on youtube channels like the art of dialog. >> so what happened with the gun? what do y'all where y'all stashed the gun at? >> i left it on the tire on one of them cars on the parking lot. >> davis now says his previous admissions connected with the shooting were made under duress and for money, claiming he did not write his own memoir was fed
