Summary
- Student Hari Krishna Reddy last contacted loved ones on December 30.
- His phone signal was last detected near Denali, Alaska on December 31.

Karasani Hari Krishna Reddy, a 24-year-old student pursuing an MS degree in Houston, Texas, has reportedly gone missing while on a solo trip to Alaska. He began his journey on December 22, traveling via public transport during the Christmas holidays. His last known contact with friends and family was on December 30.
According to his friends, Hari was staying at a hotel in Denali, Alaska, and his mobile signal was last detected in the same area on December 31. Friends, collaborating with local authorities, have shared missing person notices on social media. The harsh Alaskan winter, with temperatures dropping to approximately minus 40 degrees Celsius between December 31 and January 1, makes the situation perilous.
Alaska State Troopers, who were notified of his disappearance on January 3, last saw Hari leaving Aurora Denali Lodge on December 31. They suspect he may have traveled towards Fairbanks. While the Andhra Pradesh Non Resident Telugu Society has been contacted, they have not yet received direct pleas for help from his parents.
