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

I think there is still some confusion as to where she was found. Hopefully it's OK to post this. Another user, Otto, posted this map (post #514 currently). The black #4 dot is where they found her today, right by the party area.

Thanks for clarifying that. That would seem the more likely spot for either her to drive into the reservoir on her own or for someone to drive/push the car into it.

I believe this would be consistent with the broken off mirror and the small dent just below the window, where the mirror is dangling. It doesn’t look like it skidded along, as the paint is intact—looks more like a crush from being turned over, possibly onto a rock.

Yup, and if the window is broken, that means it was up. That explains why she wasn't able to escape.

At first I thought they found her at Spot #6 too and I was seriously scratching my head.

Would the AWP team bust windows to look
Inside a vehicle for a body?

What a sad story for Kiely. The dent in the driver's side door and the mirror hanging off hints to me that the car flipped first. How do we know she wasn't driving with all the windows open?

I'm not good at physics but I see what your point is. So if all the windows were open the pressure would be such that the car may flip and the water would do the rest such as sinking it? I can see how that could happen.

I don’t know maps but I kinda figured this out today from the search. She didn’t go out the boat ramp like many initially thought. This was the path taken out. She went left instead of right and ended up in the water.

Hi all, here with some facts: Attached are my maps (my annotated version of a google map screenshot and national forest map screenshot) of where things actually happened and a photo I took while watching the extrication today. Again, AWP got out of the way shortly after discovering the car and marking it with a bouy. Law enforcement directed the actual extrication. Nothing was removed from the car before it was extricated. Two divers attached a single line from a tow truck to the car and it was dragged out backwards. There was little to no apparent manuvering of the car underwater; ie they just pulled it in a straight line and it came right out, rear end first. LE was very quick to cover the rear windows. All visible windows appeared rolled down. No body could be seen inside the front or rear seats (using binoculars). The rest of the car was covered with a tarp as it was brought out of the water.

 

[I wonder]

Such sad news. Her poor family. AWP are phenomenal. I’ve followed them for a long time and they are so respectful to people who have died and so kind to their loved ones.

You can see the broken driver's window and other damage clearly here.

Thanks so much. I noticed something else the back windows. My crv is same the kids always complain because the back windows only go down 1/2 way. Why is the back window down ? Was Kiely able to get the back windows down?

Please forgive my stupidity, AWP stated that she was found in 14' of water. Is this 14 inches, or feet? Again, apologies for the embarrassing question. RIP, beautiful lady.

 

[BeckyF]

Agree. Their resources and budget are lacking. Or other.

I don't mean to bash LE but according to reports they spent a few thousand manhours searching for Kylie. So a person has to wonder.

Thanks for all this information and the images.

Can it be shown where Kieli's car was parked during the party ?

( About the 2nd day, SS on a video pointed to an area where Kieli's car was parked.
Then a local person said that that was about a football field away from the party
and would be hard to get to alone and in the dark.)

Back in Thread #2 I queried the area where her car was found (green circle) with a local and he said LE were searching there. So close yet it took 11 days to find her. RIP Kiely. I'm so pleased you were found.

The yellow star on this map is where the party was.

They probably decided to focus on the highest-priority probability first: abduction. If she was taken there's a lot more investigation to be done and a much tighter timeframe. (How many cases do we see that go, "Police did not investigate for X amount of time, causing evidence to be lost?")

Local police also don't have a sonar unit like AWP. I think the State Police had divers down for a day or so, early in the search, but without sonar they would basically just be feeling around in the silty water. Those divers are also police officers with other caseloads of their own.

Just for clarification, LE used equipment that has SONAR in the search.

so curious as to why the didn’t pick up on the car? is it possible it was dumped there after the search?

I hope for Kiely that it all happened very quickly and that she didn't suffer. RIP Kiely.

Now her family and friends do at least have some closure. Very sad.
