He also claimed that after he told her about his day, she replied back. “Then at 10:30, she responded to what I was saying, and just said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry that you’re going through that. And that was the last time I heard from her,” he added. Rodni's friend, Kate Cuno, also spoke with Fox40 as she said, “The day of the party, I hung out with her. We made creme brulee. Everything was normal. I don’t think she ran away or anything.”
Though authorities are working tirelessly to bring back Rodni to her family while probing in and around the Prosser Campground and reservoir, Westfall, Cuno, and another friend searched Reno to find her. They all described her as someone who is very “strong and a fighter”. They also asserted that “they’re confident that she is still alive and don’t believe she’s still in Truckee”, Fox40 reported.
As per Cuno, she, Rodni and some more friends came to Reno on Thursday, August 4, for a good time together. Reno is also the place where Westfall used to come with her to have some alone time. Both Westfall and Cuno said that they think Rodni got herself involved with a wrong crowd the night she vanished but also insisted that she’s capable of getting herself away from any danger.
The missing girl's boyfriend said: “Her dad taught her a lot of stuff about, like self defense, things like that. I taught her how to get out of sticky situations and I know she is smart. She wouldn’t do something that’s gonna, like, definitely put her life in risk.”
He then added, “I definitely feel like that in this current situation that she’s safe. I don’t know where she is. We don’t have anything to go off of at this point. But, I fully believe that she’s alive and well. And I fully believe that the two of us, three of us or other people are gonna bring her home safe.” Cuno also stated, “Everything I know about Kiely is that she is just an amazing person. She is strong, she is not gonna do something that she knows is gonna put her in danger.”
