AUG. 8 UPDATE:
Monday night, friends and community members gathered at the Truckee Community Recreation Center for a vigil in support of Kiely Rodni’s family.
The 16-year-old has now been missing for three days. She was last seen around 12:30 a.m. at a senior farewell near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee. It has been reported that more than 100 juveniles and young adults were present.
Monday afternoon, volunteers held a statement session, where some of those who attended the party filled out witness reports.
“She’s a good kid, she always kept in touch with me,” said Lindsey Rodni-Nieman. “She always came home on time, she always shared her location with me. This is completely out of character that we haven’t heard from her.”
Rodni’s friend Magdalene Larson who is one of the organizers said the oldest of two was not in the right stage to drive herself that day.
“We know there’s no way she could have gotten herself out of there if she was drunk,” she said. “The roads in and out are too hard. With how drunk she was she wouldn’t have been able to navigate them.”
“We have reason to believe she might’ve left that party spot to go to another campground with a smaller group of people,” said Marika Veck. “All signs point that somebody took her and probably drugged her and has her.”
AUG. 9 UPDATE:
Officials shared multiple agencies are helping in this case and that as of now, there is no evidence indicating the teenager’s disappearance is an abduction.
“We’re not ruling anything out and that’s why we’re pulling out all the stops,” said Scott Alford, detective sergeant at PCSO. “If this was a hiker and they were known to be in an area that would be a search and rescue effort because were searching a very specific area, because we don’t know and we just have that timeline, we’re considering everything.”
He adds this case is being investigated as a missing person.
The FBI determined Rodni’s phone was last on at 12:33 a.m. Saturday.
“Somebody knows something about Kiely, we are urging and pleading with the community to please come forward, you will remain anonymous,” said Angela Musallam, public information officer at PCSO.
“We’re not investigating their conduct that night, okay?” said Alford. “If you want to report anonymously, if your heard information from a friend and that friend doesn’t want to come forward, please forward on behalf of your friend and tell us that information. So, were not investigating you, we are partnering with you.”
Tuesday afternoon Rodni’s friend Sammi Smith invited those who were at the party to a teen-to-teen talk without parents or law enforcement.
Because Rodni’s disappearance has not been identified as child abduction, an Amber Alert has not been issued. However, investigators said other methods are being used to get information out so Kiely and her car (a silver 2013 Honda CRV) could be identified.
AUG. 10 UPDATE:
Police have identified a hoodie loaned to Kiely on the day of her disappearance.
They also say Rodni’s phones has been turned off since 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
There is no official reward, but Rodni’s family have offered a reward of $50,000.
Investigators have shared a surveillance image showing missing teen Kiely Rodni before she disappeared.
The picture was captured at 6:08 p.m. on Friday from a business in Truckee. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) said although this does not add anything new to their investigation it does confirm the timeline they already had and the clothes the 16-year-old was wearing.
AUG. 11 UPDATE:
During a media briefing Wednesday, investigators said they had no new leads, but suspect someone in the community knows more.
“Someone saw her but they’re not coming forward,” said Captain Sam Brown, Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators also released a photo of a black sweatshirt they believe Rodni was given the night of the party and still had in her possession when she disappeared.
The sweatshirt has flowers on the back and on the front it says “you don’t want to be forgotten, you just want to disappear.” These are lyrics from a song by Lana Del Rey.
Sheriff’s officials said, that they have received a ton of info and videos from the party, gas stations, businesses and even ring cameras. Unfortunately, none of that has led to Rodni or her car.
“We want to be able to supply all the right answers, especially to the family. It’s hard to look somebody in the face and not have those answers,” said Brown.
One question raised was about the decision not to issue an Amber Alert. Investigators explained it is not up to them but said be-on-the-lookout notifications have been sent.
“There is nobody standing behind me--referring to law enforcement officials--right now that doesn’t agree that the Amber Alter should have already been issued,” said Lindsey Nieman.
“She is so interested in science and in medicine and in cooking. She taught herself how to cook. She taught herself how to bake chocolate cakes from scratch when she was young and they’re good,” said Lindsey while smiling. “They’re light and fluffy, and I don’t even like chocolate cake but I like the cakes that she makes.”
“Put yourself in their shoes and be courageous for them,” said Captain Troy Minton-Sander.
Search and rescue has made a map available, allowing volunteers to track where they have searched and what areas still need to be tackled.
This is available through the CALTOPO app, a special QR Code is needed and you can get that at the base camp set up in the parking lot of the Truckee Rec Center.
Aside from the tip line, an email address has been set up for those who would like to provide information but are uncomfortable calling.
The address is sheriff_tahoeinvesttips@placer.ca.gov.
AUG. 12 UPDATE:
On Thursday a Code Red Alert System was activated for the 16-year-old, who was last seen at a party in Truckee.
“We have about an 80% enrollment for Nevada County so out of our 100,000 residents, that message should hit about 80,00 residents,” said Captain Sam Brown, Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
During a media briefing, officials shared a photo of Rodni that’s now considered important for the investigation. In the picture, you can see her wearing three gold chains, which according to her family she never took off.
“While it’s not 100% confirmed that that’s what Kiely was wearing during when she disappeared,” said Angela Musallam, Public Information Officer at PCSO. “We do believe she may have been wearing these necklaces.”
More details of her description, including that she has ear, nose, and belly-button piercings, were also shared Thursday.
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) says they’ve gotten video from a fight that occurred during the party, but they do not believe it had any connection to Rodni.
“If you have video of that night, detectives want more of it,” said Lieutenant Josh Barnhart, PCSO.
“Our daughters...We really need to take care of our people, our kids, they really need us” said Daniel Rodni. “I really want to thank everyone here.”
AUG. 13 MORNING UPDATE:
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) said they will be getting more searchers over the weekend and with more eyes out there, they will be expanding their search around the general area of Prosser Family Campground.
During a community meeting, police said they have also received reports of several adults telling teens who attended the party--where she was last seen--not to speak.
“What if this was your daughter? What if it was your sister? Your cousin? Your best friend? Would you want that weighing on your conscience for the rest of your life?” said Angela Musallam, public information officer at PCSO. “We have absolutely no interest in arresting anyone or holding anyone accountable for any illegal underage drinking and drug activity that we know occurred.”
At the meeting sheriff’s officials addressed the false audio clip from the police scanner reporting to have possibly located Rodni and her car Thursday. They explained the false lead took 45 minutes to an hour of detectives’ time.
“It is hard for them to hear these things and there is actually a family team here protecting and working with Lindsey and Dan and Tony and the grandparents, and really working hard to protect them from these types of incidences,” said family friend,Cassie Hebel.
According to Capt. Sam Brown of the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office, a portion of detectives were moved to the case of two people in California who went missing after traveling to Hot August Nights.
Saturday, Aug 13 the community is hosting an event called Kountry for Kiely, which will include music and a fundraiser for rodni’s family.
PCSO has created a central location for the community to upload tips, including photos and videos, anonymously.

AUG. 13 EVENING UPDATE:
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday it had had 226 people out on search and rescue efforts looking for Kiely Rodni, who has been missing for a week.
That included land, air and water searches, including divers in Prosser Lake.
A searcher found a burial site Friday near the Prosser campground where Rodni was last seen. Crews evacuated the site, but it turned out to be the remains of a dog.
The sheriff’s office again urged people to pass along any tips to 530-581-6320 or email sheriff_tahoeinvesttips@placer.ca.gov.
“If we have that one tip that leads us in the right direction, that can change everything,” Placer County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Josh Barnhart said.
AUG. 15 UPDATE:
Over the weekend, an anonymous donor gifted the family $25,000 dollars. This raises the reward to $75,000 for any information leading to the return of the 16-year-old.
At a press conference this afternoon, the Placer County Sheriff saying the search will move forward differently in the future. They will be rolling back the number of people on the ground and turn their focus to the investigation.
“The hope has not wavered. She’s coming home right, any minute, the miracle is any minute,” said Cassie Hebel, a friend of the family. bbm

Kiely arrives to party
Samantha Smith reported The Independent
8/5/22
Attends Party
“We have been close friends since before, so we ended up meeting up with each other, sort of screaming to each other ‘Hi!’ For the rest of the party we pretty much stuck to each other,” Samantha told The Independent. But as the gathering grew bigger, the teenagers went separate ways while continuing to see each other sporadically throughout the party.
“I knew it was a big party but it was supposed to be just the community …The party started to grow past the [number] of people that were supposed to be there,” Samantha said.
“There were college kids and people from the Bay area coming and I got a bad feeling about it but didn’t really think much of it.”The Independent Witnesses and law enforcement say there were anywhere from 200 to 250 teenagers and young adults in attendance.KCRA
”There were 200-300 juveniles at the party, which was in a wooded area, Musallam said in a news conference Tuesday, and "someone knows something."CNN
Smith, 18, said that there were plenty of attendees whom she had not previously met but none who seemed suspicious, gave unwanted attention or followed the pair around.
She said she didn’t notice anyone much older and that the party consisted mainly of teens, recent graduates and some college students from the surrounding areas. Some came from as far away as San Francisco, she said, but that was not unusual because the area is a summer vacation town.
"We met a few strangers together," she said. "We both tended to trust people. I say ‘tended to’ because now I don’t think I will continue to trust people. But she’ll give anyone the benefit of the doubt." Fox News Digital
Rodni's friend, Sami Smith, was with her most of the night. She said that Rodni was planning to spend the night at the campground.
CBS Sacramento
Rodni had enough drinks to become drunk, according to her friend and another recent graduate, Sami Smith, who added that she did not believe the teen would have driven under the circumstances.
"At the point when I left, I thought she was going to stay there," said Smith, who departed the campground just a few minutes before Rodni was last seen. "Everybody was camping. It was late enough that she should have stayed. She’s not the type to go and drunk drive or anything."
"For the amount of drinks we both had together, she’s not that dumb," she added. "I remember we were partying together. She was having fun. She seemed really happy — she was like normal, just on an adrenaline rush. Saying ‘Hi’ to everybody. Fox News Digital
8/5/22 @23:00
Charges Phone in Car
Samantha said that around 11pm, they went to Kiely’s car to charge their phones and arranged for Kiely to give her a ride home. However, she changed her mind later when she saw that Kiely was clearly intoxicated, Samantha said. The Independent
8/6/22 @0:15
Texts Mother
But Rodni-Nieman says her daughter texted her around 12:15 a.m. Saturday and said she was heading home. The family lives about 10 miles away from the campground at a lodge south of town. Fox News Digital

Kiely says goodbye to Samantha

Phone Call to Samantha Smith
At 12.36am she called me … and this is the last call anybody had with her. We said ‘love you, good night. Get home safe,’ and that’s the last thing we heard of her,” Samantha said on Monday.

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told The Independent on Monday that the department could not confirm whether Samantha was the last person to speak Kiely, but said that shortly after midnight her phone was turned off. The Independent

Statements & speculation from friends
“We have reason to believe she might’ve left that party spot to go to another campground with a smaller group of people,” said Marika Veck. “All signs point that somebody took her and probably drugged her and has her.” KOLOTV
Smith said Kiely had been planning to spend the night at the campground, according to the Associated Press. Reno Gazette Journal
Rodni’s friend Magdalene Larson who is one of the organizers said the oldest of two was not in the right stage to drive herself that day.
“We know there’s no way she could have gotten herself out of there if she was drunk,” she said. “The roads in and out are too hard. With how drunk she was she wouldn’t have been able to navigate them.” KOLOTV
I know that she wasn't in the right mindset or state to drive. And if she were to have driven, she wouldn't have made it far, Smith said. "So my concern is that somebody might have offered to drive her home and then didn't take her home." CBS Sacramento
There are a flurry of online rumors but scant real clues in the case. Friends say Kiely intended to stay at the campground overnight, but they lost track of her in the large party. At least one witness says Kiely was too intoxicated to drive. SFGATE
8/6/22 before 1:00am

Here is the current list of LE / MSM verified facts. Please note what is NOT in this set of facts...
1) 6pm store surveillance image of KR with description of KR's apparel (black body shirt, green dickies, vans, etc.)
2) gold necklaces KR may have had
3) two sweatshirts / hoodies: a) KR wore a pink & white one at the Prosser Camp party per video; b) a black one she had
4) confirmation KR was at the Prosser Camp party
5) a text to Mom from KR's phone at 11:30pm
6) final ping from KR's phone at 12:33am from party location (near water and land)
7) KR may have gone somewhere after the Prosser Camp party (not to home?)
8) make, model and license plate # of KR's car (2013 Honda CRV, CA 8YUR127)
9) ram sticker is on back window of KR's car, below the windshield wiper.
10) some adults initially discouraged people and possibly teens coming forward with information, but that was resolved
Again, I welcome any input if I've missed or misstated anything.
