Found Deceased CA - Kiely Rodni missing from Party Near Prosser Family Campground in Truckee #9

[Beekarina]

The Sun is having a busy day. I also do not find them not the best source. I know they're an approved source, but I think at times the style of writing can be confusing.

Take this for example:

They have been criticized for interviewing an alleged witness, named Nick, who appeared to describe seeing Kiely with a boy in a "black San Francisco [Giants] ball cap, facing forwards."

Nick never specifically said it was a Giants cap. We may have collectively inferred that it was, but I caught myself on that point as well. I'm not a journalist, just a person following along. If someone from LE interviewed Nick, and has tapes of the encounter, they know this, of course. But The Sun does not, and they should not fill in the gaps as fact.

Why are you equating the RA Nick encounter with 2 unnamed individuals with SM rumors and tarot readings? He is a witness to a car with 2 people and we do not know if there is a connection to K's case or not. What are you implying with your comment about 'crazy'? That anybody who thinks the Nick tip is real (connected or not) is crazy?

If you read back, I believe it was "tongue in cheek" about if LE cleared rumors and then like a Bartholemew's hat, social media would be asking why they did so, and on and on. The "crazy" would just go on forever.

I totally agree with darring21.

Also, in case it was a Giants hat, a search for black San Francisco hat. See? Many styles, not all the same as the one JW is often shown wearing. So, really, who knows?

I, for one, am entirely grateful that LE anywhere is working on investigations, as they should be, and not divulging information which is not my right to know, simply because I, Arkay, am curious.

This 100%.
Just because we want to know doesn’t mean we have the right to know, either immediately or in some cases ever.

 

[IDK]

Hopefully LE is doing a thorough, complete investigation, as they do in many cases. Unfortunately I’ve seen multiple cases where they have tunnel vision or allow outside pressures to affect the investigation.
A former boss of mine had the following logo on her email signature: “Minds are like parachutes. They function best when open”

And I totally agree!

 

[LooksSusToMe]

Why would you rule out anything unless LE specifically said so? I'm not a prof detective, but aren't we supposed to not have tunnel-vision and be open to all scenarios including homicide? I'm not immediately dismissing Nick's account until LE confirms whether it's verified or not.

The "SF" caps are all mostly San Francisco Giants caps, let's be honest. The thing is, in NorCal, every other guy and gal has one. But it is a Giants hat.

Agree. There have been few facts shared with the general public, so we don't know what happened yet.

I keep thinking of the Chelsea Bruck case, and how there are seemingly many parallels. The red flags for me in this case are that KR was separated and left behind by her friends, there was allegedly 100's drinking and drugging, allegedly "older guys" showed up, and there was allegedly a "fight club". Sounds like a recipe for disaster, which unfortunately occurred.

While KR could have certainly been altered enough to drive over bumpy "sort of" roads and end up in the water, it sounds like foul play is equally a possibility.

And, while the AWP diver who proclaimed "it looks suspicious" is no LEO, his opinion carries weight with me. He saw something that immediately made him react in the manner. In my amateur speculation it was more than just the body ending up in the back of the vehicle. We'll eventually find out.

Everything is still on the table as far as I'm concerned.

Amateur opinion and speculation

 

[sfinkz]

Let it be a cautionary reminder: There is no reciprocity with LE.
Just because AWP cleaned up LE’s mess does not mean LE has to clean up AWP’s mess.

 

[MomMommyMom2]

Wouldn't that mean they feel other suspects may be involved, but they cleared Jagger, meaning Keily's death has someone else involved and is a suspicious death.
If the RA Nick encounter has no bearing on the case , shouldn't they say so as to stop all the speculation around it?

I don’t believe they should say anything about any tip received. There’s no need IMO to publicly clear anyone else…but LE not publicly clearing “anyone else” does speak volumes imo

Being a sports fan, I can tell you, the description of it being a San Francisc Giants cap is completely accurate. The caps you show are all different styles. but the "SF" logo, with letters overlapped as they are, is trademarked and specific to the baseball Giants. The football San Francisco 49ers caps are different styles as well, as seen in the attached link, but the "SF" on their caps are different than those, and are specific to the San Francico 49ers. The Sun was exactly accurate in their description.

Today’s ‘Sun’ article quoted a NCSO press release: “Once the investigation is complete (the records) release will be pursuant to all privileges and/or exemptions that may apply.”

Is it correct, under Cali law, all records (autopsy, toxic, investigative..) of deceased minors are released at the sole discretion of parent/guardian IF, and only if, it is deemed an ‘accident’?

 

[RedHaus]

What is your definition of homicidal drowning? Selling or giving drinks to someone who commits a crime or gets in an accident is not homicide.

RBBM
@sripey, not sure if @LooksSusToMe has responded to your question (just catching up), but I suspect the term homicidal drowning came from my post about 24 hours ago. I posted a very interesting NIH Forensics paper from 2018.

And then I excerpted this key point I thought folks would find interesting from that article.

Homicidal Drowning can be ascribed to a drowning victim incapacitated by intoxication near water.

Homicidal drowning

Forcibly holding or pulling victim under water; pushing of victim into water; victim incapacitation by inflicted injury or intoxication while in/near water

Excerpted from Table 1

Investigation of Drowning Deaths: A Practical Review​

Drowning, which typically involves a watery environment, remains a serious public health concern claiming an estimated 362 000 lives per year worldwide across all socioeconomic classifications and has remained under close observation by the World Health ...

Not sure about the discretion of parent or guardian but many records in CA end up being released for the public to see even in accident situations. I'll have to look into this more to get a more accurate answer.

According to this website:

Vital Records Obtaining Certified Copies of Death Records

www.cdph.ca.gov

"The California Department of Public Health – Vital Records (CDPH-VR) maintains a permanent, public record of every death that has occurred in California since July 1905.

Certified death records are $24 per copy"


I also found this:

"The Deceased Child Victims’ Protection and Privacy Act is not intended to limit access to reports by law enforcement agents, prosecutors, defendants or civil litigants under state and federal discovery laws, but it will deny access to reporters and the general public if the child’s parents choose."

Wonder what you guys think of this?

Here is a quote from @Allabouttrial's repost (below) of her transcription of Doug Bishop's interview of Nick the RA Guy:

".... I mean a thinner built guy is the best way I could put it, with a bro tank and it was white bro tank..."

This hasn't been front and center for me, but it has always bothered me. Many here (not me) have opined about hats, hair and sweatshirt of the people Nick the RA Guy described on his as-of-yet-unconfirmed-by-LE Boca service call.

But what stumps me is this white bro tank. Of course we don't know what it really looked like and who the guy was. But I will offer this. From my experience, I ascribe apparel like this to young men often with well built physiques. Teenage boys (and girls) for instance, seem to wear a lot of baggier clothes perhaps because of body image challenges.

I dunno, my deeper analysis of this shirt description I think is key (at least to me) as it may indicate an older male??

Yes, thank you. LE has never confirmed that there were ANY persons of interest at any time unless I missed it. If he was cleared, it was early on when it was a missing person or possible abduction. The Sun interviewed J and declared he was cleared. Of course they don't have evidence of Nick's...

To me that's close, but not what is in my minds eye. They used to be called "wife-beaters", have been around for decades, and are thin & ribbed.

A "wife-beater"...is an old fashion, sleeveless undershirt... The "wife-beater" shirt isn't some nouveau tank top. It's the ribbed undershirt once worn only by granddads and Stanley Kowalski in A Street Car Named Desire.

What is a less controversial name for the clothing item known as a "wife-beater" in the United States?

In the United States, a white sleeveless shirt is often referred to as a "wife-beater". Typically I try to avoid using "wife-beater" due to its negative connotation. I've tried using a few different

Quoting myself.... they are generally low in the underarm area, they don't ride high. Like these Hanes t-shirts.

 

[Ixchel13]

Exactly.

Two key points here.

One, AWP are great sonar/divers and not expert investigators. And LE the opposite.

Two, LE is currently investigating and has zero obligation to inform the public or release any key information before they are ready. We are armchair sleuths, and LE are professional sleuths.

Think about the quantity of information that LE must have - we cannot imagine how much there is because we are not privy to it. Roadside Nick is probably a tiny fragment of a tip of an iceberg of possibly useful and possibly useless information. Imagine what’s under the surface.

IMO we are spending way too much time on roadside Nick. I’m not saying it’s meaningless but I’m saying it may pale in comparison to the massive quantity and likely quality of data that LE has.

Anyone remember last fall as we waited for months for updates from LE on Gerrish Chung?
We had a lot of wild goose chases online.
This wait while LE follows their processes and procedures is normal.

awesome post! I wish I could write like you, more of my posts would stay on the board, lol. I try but maybe should try harder.

 

[Ixchel13]

Wow ! LE does not want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation.......think it may be a little late for that!

Not really, if we want our homicidal drowning theory to work, why would it be too late, I am confused.

BBM that is not what she said. No one thinks that. Maybe you perceive it that way.
About this Nick RA thing, I dont think one single poster on here thinks he didnt get a service call. It was real. No one would be that idiotic to report to LE they had a service call that they could not back up. The questions are, Who were the clients, and when did he service them% He says he cannot remember the date, but we know, we all know, that his company has that info!
With this guy, We dont know who and we dont know when, and that just makes any amateur or REAL detective wonder, why% I honestly think Nick RA was set up, who knows if he knew this thing would mushroom on SM like it did.
