Listen Now:
Just before 1am on August 6th, 2022, 16-year-old Kiely Rodni and her vehicle went missing from a party in the woods in Truckee, California.
Now, this wasn’t just an ordinary party in the woods with a bunch of kids. What was originally supposed to be a senior sendoff type party with kids from the local high schools- grew to a huge gathering of hundreds of people from around the state, including many adults.
This has left so many people wondering, how does someone and their vehicle, an SUV, go missing from a party with hundreds of attendees without anyone seeing anything?
This is a very new case. This episode is designed to help spread awareness so more than ever I am going to keep it brief and focus on the facts because for as new as this case is, there is already a lot of rumors and speculation.
Officials are treating Kiely’s disappearance as an abduction and every moment counts. Please share this episode.
Kiely Rodni is 16 years old and went missing from the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, California on August 6, 2022. She will turn 17 in September 2022. She is white, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 118 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black tank top style bodysuit, a black studded belt, green Dickies brand pants and black vans shoes. She was also wearing 3 layered gold necklaces. Kiely does have multiple piercings including a nose ring.
Police are also searching for Kiely’s vehicle, a 2013 silver Honda CRV with California License Plate 8YUR127. The SUV also has a Ram sticker beneath the rear wiper blade.
