Found Deceased CA - Kiely Rodni Missing From Party Near Prosser Family Campground in Truckee since 8 Aug 2022 #5

That's actually not true in my SUV. The flap doesn't cover the entire area so you could shine a flashlight inside it.

does AWP not disturb the car at all as a matter of course? like they wouldn't open doors or anything?

I've had several hatchbacks/ SUVs with cargo covers and I agree you could probably shine a flashlight in there. But no way would an entire body slip through that crack. A body would have to have been placed there before the accident. jmo

Looks like they are trying to get the car upright before bringing it in. Slowly pulling it out while they rotate it.

I have watched a lot of AWD videos. I wonder why their yellow float bags were not used. They have used them before to upright a car and then the car just floats until they pull it in.

Agreed. You could probably see with a flashlight that a body was in there but it would not come out.

I am not able to find my post with the screen shot of the CRV. This is the link where I found photos of the inside of the car, including one that shows the flap that could be pulled across the "trunk" area - https://www.cars.com/research/honda-cr_v-2013/

I think Kiely thought she had friends. She had acquaintances. I’m so sorry for Kiely and her family.

Plenty of normal, sober people die in their cars in water. Opening a window while the car is sinking means you now have water rushing in against you. The nose of the car sinks down and your body floats up and to the rear. You have to reorient yourself and dive down to get out of a window. The rear windows aren’t useful since they don’t open all the way. You can’t get the back hatch open becasue of the weight of the water and you have to dive down further to the front windows, and now the car is flipping over.
If all that happened while a person is trying to escape, try now imagining everything while being drunk, or high, or both, or on a psychedelic substance. If she did get the windows lowered in response to hitting the water, that doesn’t mean it would have been easy to get herself out of the car.

Deeper water? This was at only 14 ft.

close to shore they have something taped off. Could be related?

Yes, I've been wondering what this area is! Just left of the area where they pulled the SUV. I would think, if it had been taped off prior to late this afternoon, then it would have been reported? Locals???

If someone else had enough control to put her car in the water, with her inside, I doubt that it mattered where in the vehicle she was, because she would have probably been completely incapacitated by then. JMO

Well could have been put in trunk to hide her while deciding what to do with her and the car.

Though others on this thread are convincing me that if the car turtled she could have ended up in the back either trying to escape or floating up after it was submerged.

If she was in the back under the cover, they wouldn’t have had to be so careful to obscure the view of the rear part of the car from the bystanders.

Oh wow—- I’ve spent my entire birthday at a casino and just turned on my phone…Kiely was found? By AWP? In her car underwater? I will have to go back and read everything here tomorrow because it’s 2 AM here—-her poor family—-but relieved if they can have closure—will find out details when I read here tmw but I’m presuming it’s an accident and not foul play——Oy, this is too heartwrenching.

You might be right but again the flap doesn't cover everything, at least in my car, and there are people with incredible tele-foto capabilities. It could mean she was clearly visible in there or that they were just being extra careful.

I’m sad the windows were all open because it implies to me kieli prepared valiantly to get out of the car when it first hit the water. Maybe floated for 30 seconds while she snapped out of her intoxication and lowered the windows.

But water probably then surged in much faster and more forcefully than expected. And the car likely flipped forward and upside down, sending her into the hatchback. Disoriented in pitch blackness with the car upside down and sinking fast. Terrible for her, alone and pitch black.

 

[bakersfield3]

They don’t have the sophisticated equip AWP does. AWP is the real deal. Superheroes for sure.

Amateur opinion and speculation

Not amateur at all, but keep thinking that lol..

Yea I'm starting to lean that way too after hearing the helpful discussions here and seeing the AWP video that was posted. She could have been windows open and seatbelt off starting her drive and been unconscious on impact but it's not easy to drive with all 4 windows fully open and the seatbelt alarm goes off.

Well, I guess we are back to speculation. I am hoping the autopsy will settle the questions so at least family doesn't have the added burden of constantly wondering what really happened.

I don't see any damage to the front of the vehicle. Is there typically damage if the car hits the water with any kind of speed?

I’m sorry but that is the most likely percentage. I doubt anything nefarious happened after her 12:33 call. She took a wrong turn and she ended up in Prosser. She didn’t have great friends had acquaintances. Very unfortunate. I’m very disgusted by this but it’s the way it is.

I also see shattered glass in the top right and bottom right corner of the driver's side window (had to zoom in about 400%, but I definitely see something).

That's correct it does look shattered, then why aren't the other windows shattered like the back ones for example, odd. The sideview mirror is dangling. I suppose the assumption will be that its because the impact caused it. If that were so then the other windows on the same side should be likewise.

Sometimes there is inner flaw in the glass, a tiny crack from a pebble hitting the glass, for example. Then, after the catastrophe, the pressure of water might make the window break. Just one of explanations.

 

[5W's]

Or really intoxicated?

If she opened the windows and took off her seatbelt then I think she was aware of what she was doing and the intoxication was not factoring in there at that point.

Does it look like there was a side impact to the car below that window? I guess we don't know where the car went in and it could have hit on that side rolling in somewhere. There are still a lot of things that don't add up. I don't see any damage to the front of the vehicle.

The mirror may have broken off when the car was rolled over before it was removed from the water. There appears to be some slight indenting to the door in that area as well (just around the area where the mirror was dangling)—maybe the vehicle was rolled over onto a rock or something.

Not sure about the broken glass though—i am not sure I see the glass is actually broken, but if so, a broken window could also easily have happened on that driver’s side if the car were rolled over onto a rock.

I am wondering if AWP will discuss the condition of the car in the morning when they speak on this case.
