Found Deceased CA - Kiely Rodni Missing From Party Near Prosser Family Campground in Truckee #4

[MsMarple]

Where did you see this? Link?

LE says no connection to Kiely. I posted this a few pages back:

"The operation, which occurred on Thursday, Aug. 18, resulted in several sex registrants being found in violation of their terms, with one arrest being made and criminal charges to be filed on another," the Placer County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday morning. "The Truckee Police Department routinely conducts similar sweeps and is committed to aggressively pursuing prosecution of those offenders found to be out of compliance with any probation or parole terms."

Rodni’s unsolved disappearance prompted the compliance checks, but the arrests were not directly related to her case, according to investigators. Truckee police did not immediately respond to a request for more information about the arrested suspect.

i remember this, i dont see any relation tho. he went up there for landscaping / snow plow job

Yeah, I cannot come up with any obvious link either, just noticed it, remembered him too and though whoa! for a moment.

It was quite odd where his car was found...and I don't think his phone was ever recovered?

He was last seen at a gas station in Truckee, right? I wish we knew which local business Kiely was last seen on surveillance aside from the party. (edited because I was confusing). I've probably followed too many threads here on websleuths where people were last seen hanging around gas stations.

Edited #2: I looked at pics online of the gas station Daniel Gallardo used, and it doesn't seem similar to the image released of KR by LE.

Speaking of gas stations--if she was running her car to charge phones, as has been suggested by SS in her interviews, might she have started to head home and realized she was low on gas? Where would be the nearest gas station open at that time of night?

Also, in the dumb question department: where is the Nevada-California state line?

I was thinking about a post from pages back where the poster said something to the effect that there is a lot of money in the community and many parents of kids at the party either had lawyers or were lawyers (paraphrasing).

So I'm thinking - assuming this is true and your kid was at the party - at what point would an attorney or parent/attorney advise a kid not to cooperate with LE? In the case of a missing child?

What would a kid have to confide in - or refuse to reveal to - an attorney or parent/attorney that would result in them giving this advice?

I don't know.

I don't know either but LE is clearly hinting that they know there is info that they need to learn more about.

My guess, and its disturbing, is that it could possibly be related to unwanted sexual behaviour by someone or more persons, that incident was possibly witnessed by minors who did not dare intervene or were outnumbered and maybe fear reprisals from the perps.


Just MOO and hope it is not the case.

There is a 24 hour RV park nearby, but it is in the opposite direction of her house, I think from the map.

I was curious early on what was 24 hours since in my area growing up heading to a diner or the town about half an hour away that had a 24 hour McDs was a common, and sadly often fatal for a car load of kids at least once every few years, event.

Edited: It looks like a few Shell stations and also a 7-11 are 24 hours too.

Via I-80E...maybe 15 minutes, east. It's 35-40 minutes to Reno...

 

[Curiosa20]

Good thoughts... are you thinking the hiker group was bogus and an attempt to lure her somewhere?

So if strangers trying to lure, good idea to use Starbucks as ice breaker/gain trust then meet at secluded outdoor location. If "friends/acquaintances" known to her, their cover would be blown going to Starbucks.

The times and events in this case are definitely curious.

She was supposed to meet her friend Madeline Wicks at 9:00 at Starbucks for the camping trip..
We don’t have any info that a group was involved.

If Kiely was back and forth to her car, then stayed in the car for/after the charging, and drove away later, partygoers may have seen her going to her car at many times, just never near 12:30, and by 12:30, when she would've driven away, a person might see a car leaving but would they associate the car with Kiely if they personally never saw her enter it? And would A car stand out, as it left the party? Bet cars were coming and going all night.

State line runs through the lake, we crossed to the south westbound, and to the north eastbound.

Prosser Family Campground to Stateline Avenue

We drove from Ozarkistan to the Sacramento area in the mid 90's. At that time, the Nevada side looked like a summer camp -- trees & the occasional cabin.

The Presbyterian Church USA operates this camp/lodge/retreat center on the Nevada side:

Zephyr Point - Lake Tahoe Conference & Retreat Center

Year-round Presbyterian Conference Center nestled in the Sierra Nevada providing rental facilities and conferences on inspirational Lake Tahoe.

Drive through the inspection station at the state line -- almost Vegas on the Cali side, all the upscale retail chains were there. This is even called Stateline on the map.

[coreysheldon]

Hello, all. I've been following the investigation a little bit and have a few questions:
1. About how far was her vehicle parked from the core of the party?
2. Was it normal practice for her to lock her vehicle?
3. Has it been confirmed that she truly charged her phone during the party?
4. How close to the party is the actual campground and were there campers present at the party?

 

[Sheila Terranova]

Have there been any reports on whether she had a tendency to get lost and turned around ?

Thanks for that. Thought it was "hiking" and multiple people involved.

"There were about 200 to 300 people in attendance, mostly juveniles and young adults, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.
Of those, detectives have interviewed between a third and half of them, according to Angela Musallam, the sheriff’s public information officer."
"Although our detectives have interviewed over 100 partygoers, they would still like some more cooperation," she told Fox News Digital on Friday.

Kiely Rodni case: California sex offender arrested on unrelated charge as result of search for missing girl

While I hope more people will come forward with honest information and truly believe they should, 100 or so people talking to LE is a far cry from their “no one will cooperate and talk to us” sentiments. It’s encouraging that they’ve at least talked to a fair portion (compared to what I was thinking based on LE statements) of the group. Hopefully photos/videos will lead to identification of some people and LE will be able to reach out to them. IMO there’s a big difference between having the courage to come forward and having the courage to outright tell LE “I’m not talking to you” when contacted if you’re innocent.

Here's my analogy as to why no one supposedly saw her leave, aside from the common idea that most were drunk and paying attention to themselves and friends. No one was a watchdog for the parking area, or Kiely personally. If someone went to their car to leave, the remaining folks didn't know someone would be a wanted poster soon, so they weren't paying attention to her, or anyone else.

So my analogy is - If you were at the grocery store today, can you tell me what you saw in the frozen food aisle, assuming you went down it? Describe to me everyone who you passed. Was anyone wearing a white/pink hoodie? If you didn't see any fighting or yelling, nothing stood out to you as odd, if someone asked you if you saw someone anywhere in the store wearing those clothes, would you be able to say yes or no? Anyone in the parking lot wearing that outfit? My guess is no, unless for some reason that person stood out to you. Maybe they were blocking an aisle with their cart, or acting in a way that caught your attention. Otherwise you were going about your shopping, aware of your surroundings but not realizing you'd be interrogated about everyone you may have seen in the store the next day.

Now that's a very global analogy as of course, she had more friends than just Mags and whomever at the party, but there must have been many others who had no idea who she is, esp the college kids and adults who supposedly appeared. It's very possible no one saw anything out of place. If something very bad happened, it's possible it happened in her car, or at the supposed after party. Not defending the silence we're hearing about AT ALL - as it could very well be things happened right there - but it's also possible nothing happened at Prosser.

Good point.

I keep going back to two things though:

How social/extroverted/well-liked Kiely is.

My personal experiences around teenage girls saying good bye. As a former teenage girl years ago, and a parent of teens. I have boys, but girls are around (haha) and even leaving activities where they would see one another in a few hours? You would think some of these girls were going to be separated for *years*, with all the hugging, waving, shouting as they left lol. (They would even shout things to ME..haha "Byyeeeeee Mrs Beeeeekarina! Bye So and Sooooossssss Mooooooooom! Loooooooove Youuuuuuuuu!"

This is why I have trouble reconciling Kiely just driving off alone, unnoticed. Even if her closest friends had all left, had EVERYONE she knew left her by 12:30-ish?

If so, what else was really up?

YAY!!!

Hoping they will find her.

 

[charminglane]

We also have not heard anyone say they texted or always texted with KR to let each other know they arrived home safely.
That is a given with everyone I know, of ALL ages.

That's a really good point! Since it seems like we've heard they've been to many parties in the past...

True, but Lake Tahoe itself straddles CA and NV. The NV side of Lake Tahoe has casinos. So to get to NV from Truckee does not require going to Reno. Just drive around Lake Tahoe to NV.

That said, I've wondered in the back of my mind if KR and perhaps a small group headed to casinos either at Tahoe or Reno as an 'after party'.

And of note, I think it's been our local experts who have told us there are supposedly non-highway, back (dirt?) roads that could take you from Prosser / Truckee to Reno to avoid detection for a variety of possible legal offenses.

Has anyone figured out what that back route is to Reno? That has always intrigued me as a possible area to 'dump' a car or body, get lost, crash undetected, etc.
