Yes, possible.
New to the case. I’m having a hard time understanding why her friends would leave her, or even why she was driving that late at all. At age 16, I thought teen drivers had a curfew on unsupervised driving after 11 pm.
BBM. It depends on the state. I grew up rurally and was driving at 14. I used to be out a lot at night at 16. That's a normal rural teen thing.
At this point I'm not even buying that Kiely was intoxicated. She texted her mom at 11:30 pm, an exchange her mom reports as perfectly normal. I know drunk texting when I see it and I'm sure Kiely's mom would have as well. It's entirely possible that Kiely's falling out with Sami and Megs had nothing to do with alcohol or intoxication.
Perhaps LE has asked party attendees not to reveal their accounts of the night to the press.
Thanks. I read a post upthread from the local and it does sound like it’s typical for the area. So now that big lake combined with darkness is scary. Others have suggested she may have found someone else who needed a ride, or who may have offered to drive her car. But she didn’t make it home. Could she have gone to someone else‘s house, and the car is still there? Even if she fell asleep before texting her mother, she would have went home in the morning, or texted her mother that she changed plans. Worst case scenario (aside from the lake) is that someone drove her to a home or elsewhere, and misadventure or foul play has happened. Prayers up for a different outcome.
Thing is, some of her friends might've been staying there too. Hence why I said she may have snuck off.
We don't know she didn't make it back to the lodge. We know she turned her phone off shortly after midnight. What happened between shortly after midnight until her mother awoke at 8 am to discover neither she nor her car were at the lodge is a complete blank. All kinds of things could have happened in those intervening 7 hours. Including making it back to the lodge. Including her stopping at another residence in between. Any number of things could have happened in those 7 hours. IMO
I could be totally wrong but perhaps the car GPS system has been tampered with. I think her car is a newer model car if I remember correctly (2017?). Or perhaps systems that the data /recordingtracking company that her car works with are turned off/tampered with and thus the company has informed LE? Again as I said I could be wrong, but maybe?

her car is an older model it says in the media that it is 2013

It must not have been that scary if she and Megs took off and abandoned an "intoxicated" Kiely there in such a "scary" situation. Especially considering they were her best friends. IMOMore info about the party.
“The party was only supposed to be open to those in the Truckee Tahoe region. But word got out to Grass Valley, Reno and the Bay Area,” Sami Smith, a close friend, said. ”It grew to be way, way larger than ever expected.”
“Within the only 10 minutes I was there, I literally had a group of five guys, try to come get me to take as many bong rips as I could forcefully, without my boyfriend present,” Magdalene Larson, Keily’s best friend, said.
“There was a lot of guys that did approach us,” Smith said. “Definitely, I was getting a gut feeling that during that party that something, something just didn’t feel right with the amount of people that were there and how old some of these people were.”
“From the amount of people who did show up, it was scary. It was really scary,” Smith recalled.
Friends recall the night Truckee teen Kiely Rodni went missing
TRUCKEE, Calif. (KTXL) — The search continues Monday night for missing Truckee teenager Kiely Rodni, who was last seen at a party she attended at a campground early Saturday morning. Her family and…
Long time reader, first time poster. I'm a Truckee local so I feel it is important to share facts here.
1) While Truckee looks remote, we are only 30 min from Reno, 1.5 hours from Sacramento, and 2.5 hours from SF. Plus, being on I-80 means we have more than our fair share of transient crimes. This spring/summer, there has been an uptick on car break-ins. Friends of ours even had their car windows shot out while they were hiking (link below). The homeless population also goes up during the summer and some illegally camp out in trailers or their cars around Prosser. And human trafficking has long been a serious issue in the greater area (link below). Point being, I see why abduction is being considered seriously.
2) On the theory of Kiely crashing while driving home, it would be possible for someone to turn the wrong way, leading to the boat ramp. It would not be logical for them to go off on some dirt roads--at least not by choice or without being extremely intoxicated. Our HS kids know the area and even at age 16 are generally good drivers. But of course drugs or alcohol can change that.
3) The location of the party is not what we consider remote. As another local shared, it is 1/2 mile from residential homes and 5-7 min drive from town. Plus, the entire road from 89 to walking distance from the party location is paved. Many of the roads around Prosser have bad potholes, but this particular stretch does not. And there is plenty of open space along the road in and out.
4) In terms of where she may have driven upon leaving the immediate Prosser area, I agree with other posters that Alder Creek road would make sense. It is quiet and avoids our small downtown. Cops are rarely looking for drunk drivers in town (we have a small police force) but I could see teenagers wanting to avoid town when leaving a large off-grid party. Alder Creek road is known for bad accidents (sharp turns and plenty of wildlife) and it is possible to go far off the road on the south side. However, most of that area is extensively used by hikers and mountain bikers and not so heavily wooded, so I would expect someone to have seen a crashed vehicle along Alder by now. I'm less familiar with the road along Coldstream to her home, so I won't comment on that.
5) To my knowledge, there has not been extensive sonar searching of Prosser Reservoir yet. I expect that will be done if Kiely is not found in the next few days and I'm personally watching for that to be done.
6) At HS parties here, alcohol is often less an issue than other drugs. Marijuana is the most common and pills are pretty common too. That's according to our HS-aged daughter. There is a general perception in the area (which I don't agree with) that it is safe to drive after smoking weed whereas people are more careful not to drive drunk. Take that as you will.
7) Lastly, I've been blown away by how our community has risen up to help search, put up flyers, and press teenagers to share any detail they know. This is all anyone is talking about. I'm hopeful that we will find Kiely soon if she is in the area.

Traffick on I-80 - Moonshine Ink
Reno is considered by some to be a “safe city” … for sex traffickers. And I-80 East is the “pipeline” that often gets them there. What is being done to address the issue of modern slavery?
