CA KIELY RODNI: Missing from a campground in Truckee, CA - 6 August 2022 - Age 16 *Found Deceased*

Kiely Rodni was last seen attending "a party of more than 100 juveniles and young adults" near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, California, at 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. Also missing from the party was Rodni's car, a silver 2013 Honda CRV.

Her phone has been out of service since the party, authorities said. At a news conference Tuesday, Placer County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Alford said her phone last sent data at 12:33 a.m. Saturday

my kids would have definitely gravitated towards that shirt. What it says is edgy, it's black and it has a pretty design. I would be more surprised to find out they didn't have a copy of it.
I'll take your word for it. My first thought is we are midwest and our kids are a lot older than Kiely, different generation. But maybe...

Even SO though, here she is missing and she has DISAPPEARED and here is a shirt referencing disappearing AND that she was just loaned AND that LE has put out there. I don't see how anyone following crime doesn't have to stop and at least put this on their radar/notes as it could have some meaning to it...

That's just my opinion but it references what has happened basically. It's like finding a gun near a body with a bullet hole in it. Maybe not the best comparison but I just mean I think it definitely is worth noting and wondering if it has some meaning.
 
This pinpoints some key things I think. And then he touches on another video of someone else and shows part of it which hits on some key things too. Worth watching imo. And under ten minutes.

Also there was supposed to be a press conference today and so far there hasn't been last I looked. Maybe by now there has, haven't checked recently.

 
Reno newspaper: Sheriff: Pranks like the fake scanner recording hurt Kiely Rodni investigation

Pertinent excerpts from the article-

"On Thursday night, reports on social media spread of a 911 scanner report. The fake recording said a girl was in a car matching the description of Kiely's at Arrowcreek, a gated housing development in South Reno."


"The sheriff's office said false information being spread online is taking up valuable time meant to help find the missing girl.
"We want to warn everyone not to believe what you see on social media," Musallam said. "
 
I watched a couple of things on this last night. And heard some very good points and thoughts. Of course there are some out there already giving this one a potential of some going over the top with it as happened in Petito. I am avoiding that but there ARE things that just don't add up.

A key one is that the friend Sami claims Kiely called her at 12:36 but the phone shut off at 12:33 as the officer verified here in the PC. LE has NOT verified that call happened from what I understand and have had the question asked? Things she has said just are not adding up nor is the timeline. I am not accusing, simply stating.

A caller on one show stated that the I-phone Kiely had would still ping if "shut off". You would have to take out the SIM card to have it not ping. Or it would have to be damaged. Now water could be the explanation for that OR it was intentionally taken out.

Per Sami's version and timeline, she told Kiely she found another ride home and yet Kiely called her just maybe ten minutes later asking her if she needed a ride home. This call was AFTER the phone was allegedly shut off. And why would Kiely call, she already had that answer. I guess she could have been under the influence and forgot but that's a stretch.

In fact to my knowledge, there is not even anyone who has verified any condition Kiely was in except Sami. For all I know, she didn't even have a drink. There aren't pictures or other accounts at all to speak of.

Why did her one friend go with her to the party and then leave with her boyfriend, leaving Kiely, ten minutes later? That friend allegedly said one could immediately tell this party was different than all the others they had been to, you could just tell. Paraphrasing. I'm not saying this friend should have stayed with her, maybe that was not the plan all along and it was just a good meeting point for her boyfriend to pick her up after she spent the day with Kiely or something. I just wonder if she had intended to attend and something made her change her mind.

I am going to post a link of Ten to Life. She did jump the gun on some news the other night that turned out to not be true and she apologizes for it and explains. After that though, listen to the points she makes and things she picks up on. She is speculating as we do but she is trying to fit likelihoods with statements made because things are NOT adding up and she makes some very good points. Even if you don't watch it all, the first half hour to an hour touches on many of them. After that, she interacts with commenters and discusses.

She also made some points that I had thought odd and mentioned here. The shirt and the necklaces. It doesn't SEEM like LE is putting this tuff out as what she was wearing to locate HER, they want to know about the items. It seems to be something else. And Kiely is not wearing at least the one necklace in the gas station photo.

You have towns people telling people not to talk, you have kids that have reason to lie but do they have more reason than just underaged drinking and drugs? And honestly Sami's changing stories and her timeline just aren't adding up. Then there is the fact these "kids" are directing people to talk to them and not directing them to LE that isn't sitting right with many.

I am not saying one way or the other but just pointing out what has come out, what has been said, etc.

I think like some others that she and/or her car could be in the water but that also doesn't mean it was of her own volition.

I feel that even attending this party may have something more to it, the reasons she did so I mean. Hard to say.

It is unlikely but I still hold out a bit of hope she left and now it has gotten so big she doesn't know how to come back. At least though she'd be alive.

The thing I REALLY don't like is there are no other mentions to speak of regarding her being at this party or anyone seeing her, at least after a certain point. Maybe LE has that info and we don't but two kids aren't worried at all about speaking out but there aren't any others willing to do so? The thing is the two that are speaking out are the ones that were last with her or in the case of the bf, had phone contact with her that night...

Let's add also that her contact with her mother was by text.

The one I posted above is one of the ones who put that info out although she did say it was unconfirmed. She retracted it and took it down. I did post her more recent video though as she is generally a good channel and she makes some very good points.

That would really put a spin on things if the reason none of the kids are talking is because hardly any of them even saw her there.
 
Yeah, I gather the cops have confirmed she was there but there still seems to be a big window of time that no one saw her. And NO ONE seemed to see her or hear from her after midnight for SURE other than Sami.

I BELIEVE she arrived at around ten. Her phone goes dead at 12:33. In that in between period no one saw her other than Sami that we have heard. I did see ONE video where it says some other girl saw her AT midnight I think but I don't know that that is a fact or confirmed. AND even though no one else saw her, Sami claims she called her AFTER the phone apparently was shut off. This is a big part of what has people doubting that and other things she has said. If I recall correctly the TEXT to her mom was around 11:30 trying to buy or get more time...

I do agree that one girl isn't going to necessarily stand out in a party of 300 to all of them but it is sounding like there were certainly a a big number of people there that were her classmates and from her town so they should recognize her or remember, at least some of them.

But the cops could have reports from some of these but you'd think they'd share that just to quiet people down that she was seen in the intervening hours and by more than Sami after 12...

Some out there are thinking this was a fight club situation/party. Some of course think traffickers were at or behind the party. It has the potential to get out of hand with the speculation out there. I'm not joining that train and won't.

But there is something more here, just not sure what. I'd like to know how recent the break up with the bf was. Just for one thing.

One last thing I heard said was that Sami was a "new" friend and was not part of Kiely's group of tight knit friends or her best friend/close friend circle. I believe this came from one of those close to her. Also, I heard that Sami was actually the party planner, the one throwing the party. This paragraph and these two things I can't say are fact but it was said as if it was. I haven't seen every single thing so I don't know. They are just two things that aren't way "out there" I am sharing and maybe someone else here knows if they are fact. I am stating I DON'T KNOW if they are fact though.
 

Law enforcement detail last known pings of Kiely Rodni's cell phone​

A lead in the disappearance of Tahoe teen Kiely Rodni turned into another dead end as the FBI spent a day meticulously digging up a "potential burial site" that turned out to contain only a dog.

Once again, a frustrating tip — law enforcement have so far received over 1,200 — failed to bring loved ones any closer to finding Kiely.

"Yesterday there was a potential burial site that was located near the [Prosser Family] campground," Placer County Sheriff's Office public information officer Angela Musallam said. "It was located by a search-and-rescue ground team. Kiely's family was notified of the potential development. The FBI responded to secure the scene yesterday and was accompanied by the Placer and Nevada county sheriff's offices. The FBI agents investigated the site through early this morning and recovered the remains of a dog."

Captain Sam Brown of the Nevada County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the last known ping from Kiely's cell phone was around 12:30 a.m. on August 6, the day she went missing from a party of over 200-300 teens and young adults at the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee. According to mother Lindsey Rodni-Nieman, Kiely sent her a final text that said she would be "straight home" in about 45 minutes. A friend said Kiely planned on spending the night at the campground and was too intoxicated to drive.

Brown said the last ping was near Prosser Lake, a manmade reservoir that surrounds the campground, but it's possible due to lost data that the phone continued to ping after 12:30 a.m. "The ping for the data points was near the water. It's hard to tell an exact pinpoint," Brown said. "Just as much on land as it was on water."

"Just because it was last pinged there, that doesn't mean that's where the phone stopped pinging," he added. "There's lots of reasons why those notifications or data points could be lost."

Swimmers and divers have been deployed day after day at the lake. Brown said its deepest point is about 57 feet and visibility is challenging. "A diving operation like that is almost like you're going into the water blind, and you're basically searching with hands," he said. "Because once you start maneuvering the ground, it's like going through mud. These are tough operations."

I heard a deputy give a presentation on diving searches. He said that it is dangerous and exactly like was described here, you have to go by touch rather than your eyes. Can you imagine?

That's a lot of the problem here, too. They will find something on sonar that they want to check into further, but have a hard time actually finding what they saw on sonar in the water due to lack of visibility. In one case, they were looking for a specific car in the river, found one on sonar, saw that it wasn't the one they were looking for. They then find out later that the car they were looking for was under the one they found and they just couldn't see that there was another one under it.
 
Different message than the first one and opposite color...

Adventures With Purpose has committed to looking I gather when they wrap up some searches in the midwest shortly. Police Off the Cuff was pushing for Equusearch and saying they need to use sonar in her search. They mentioned they are volunteer and do it for the good and not the attention or money and I assume that was a bit of a dig at AWP, not sure, but it sounds like AWP already committed. They also pointed out LE needs to ask or allow Equusearch to search is how they do it and pushing for them to do so.

Seemed just a bit like a competition as to who goes in...

Both have found people but AWP did have some talk about not being entirely altruistic, etc... Some say they "hot dog" it, attention and $$.

I'd just like to see her found and the car too like we all would.
 
You know, Sami says she was to ride home with Kiely but Kiely had been drinking and was not in a position to drive and so the plans changed. Well who did she find that was sober to ride home with I'd sure like to know? And she said Kiely had planned to stay overnight she thought, well then I guess that clearly wasn't the plan UNTIL then at the end as she said she was supposed to ride with her. It also doesn't mesh with Kiely telling her mom she was leaving to go home at 12:15. She claimed Kiely called her at 12:3i6 and the cops say the phone shut off at 12:33... Now in this article just above it says she said Kiely called her around 12:30. Now maybe those few minutes were the last ping or something but it does not fit the phone shutting off time...

I am simply pointing out discrepancies and nothing more.

The cops said the phone pinged near water when a reporter asked if it was near water. He also went on to say though that it also was on or near land and could be either. It doesn't sound like that accurate of a pinpoint as to if she is in the water. This area was near water. Some out there who are convinced she is in water are saying it as if it means she is in the water and it wasn't what he said imo. I heard it and he just agreed there was water in the area when asked that.
 
The jewelry and sweatshirts seem to mean something different than when we see a case of the child or adult was last seen wearing "this". It seems more like it is the items they expect to be found.

Two sweatshirts now and the first one borrowed or loaned that evening it now says. Now the easy answer is she was cold and lost one and someone lent her another. But I just don't think so and it isn't seeming like that at all.

And then Sami knew for a fact Kiely was wearing a bodysuit because she "peed" with her several times in the woods, etc. She NEVER mentioned a sweatshirt of any kind. Just the bodysuit and pants. Yet the new sweatshirt was on Kiely earlier in the evening. I doubt it got warmer as the night progressed. The necklaces were never mentioned in the beginning either. No idea what it all means but I find it odd and not adding up. And that's all I'm saying.

I think it is extremely significant the cops won't release this new video or even part of it. Something is on it they don't want known. Or they want a perpetrator or party attendees worried about what they now might know so they react and come forward with excuses or explanations.

The sweatshirts may be just a fluke like again her losing one but I think there's more significance to it. The things that cross my mind:

Someone gave her or loaned her the one sweatshirt and expected her to wear it and it had meaning as it came from that person. She was seen not wearing it but wearing someone else's and it upset someone. Or her wearing the other one upset someone for some reason.

Whatever went on in that video involves her losing clothes whether voluntarily or involuntarily and so someone to assist her in covering up provided her a sweatshirt. Possibly her necklaces were ripped off or taken off her at that time as well. Or not in the video but during whatever event may have happened to her. That's why they expect them to be somewhere and if not with someone, ditched somewhere. Evidence, etc. so a perp/pers got rid of it.

Finally if Kiely had a plan to go missing herself, changing clothing and shirts and jewelry on or off would throw the trail off in someone reviewing video and in those trying to remember her at the party or recall what she was wearing. Barry Morphew changed clothes a number of times and hit up a number of trash cans on his day in Broomfield. He wasn't a victim but he wanted to not be recognized, seen at different trash cans, noticed leaving and entering the hotel probably, etc.. He wasn't a victim but an alleged perp but it was to confuse or even not to be noticed at all.

If LE gets reports from someone they saw Kiely and swear it was her at the party but the clothing was different than what they knew to be, then they would likely dismiss that person as mistaken when it might be a true account. It would make the investigation harder and perhaps even mess it up.

The last in my opinion would be best case scenario as it may mean she is alive. I wouldn't count on it though.

There is something in that video someone finally came forward with imo and I am convinced the sweatshirts and jewelry are not so someone would spot her somewhere but have another reason they are looking for them or expect someone may have them or have ditched them where they might be found.

Finally, the ram sticker under her wiper on the back of her vehicle. That's great when it come s to someone recognizing it but it also alerts whoever might have the vehicle to take the sticker off. The cops never provided this info to my knowledge. I did hear Sami provide it. I think she also provided information about special hubcaps or some such. Or maybe it was the bf or both. But it was one of them, I heard it. Again helpful in one sense but it also lets someone know this is known and to remove them.

Just thoughts. I don't know what any of it means but things don't add up yet. Not for me.

Oh, one other thing. Last night I heard that someone who was camping or lived near the campground said when asked about the party and if they noticed anything that all they noticed was a ton of people arriving and heading that way/cars. And then the next thing that stood out was there was like a mass exodus of cars at 12:30. Soooo IF true and no reason to think it isn't but I can't verify it as I just heard that and assume it was on some news station or in some article or somewhere, then Sami's phone shut off right when a ton of people were splitting from the party... And yet NO ONE saw her leaving or leave.

Nothing adds up. IF she didn't text her mom, there is no proof or evidence imo of when she was last seen or heard from that I know of.
