Although living in Ohio, the childhood friends had travelled to California for friends’ trip. In late December, their car unexpected veered off the road at a curve on Alabama Hills Road and fell into a gorge, as per the Times of India.
That’s not all. Just this week, Nikitha Godishala, another Telugu woman (27) was found dead in her ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Columbia, Maryland. Her body was discovered days after he reported her missing, as per Howard County Police’s social media update.
On Sunday (US time), authorities confirmed that they had issued an arrest warrant for 26-year-old Arjun Sharma, who has now been charged with first and second-degree murder over suspicions that Godishala was stabbed to death. Sharma reportedly left the US for India on the same day, January 2, when he reportedly filed a missing-person report for her.
