TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA: The search for Kiely Rodni, who went missing on August 6 around 12.30 am and was last spotted driving away from a party at the Prosser Family Campground, Truckee, in her 2013 silver Honda CRV, might have come to an end. Divers searching for the missing 16-year-old girl said they have found a body inside an upside-down car under 14 feet of water.
According to Independent, Adventures With Purpose, an Oregon-based volunteer group, consisting of six divers, that helps in finding missing people underwater, claimed on the afternoon of August 21 that they have found a body in Prosser Lake and it belongs to the missing teen via a Facebook post. It read, "Car is upside down in only 14 of water. We have CONFIRMED Kiely is inside. Family Notified. Law Enforcement on their way." However, a spokesperson for the Placer County sheriff’s office said that the body’s identity is not yet confirmed, adding that the investigators from local police forces and the FBI are at the spot.
