Last seen Aug. 6 at a large party with hundreds of like-aged teens at the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, the teen disappeared seemingly without a trace.
Authorities say the last known ping from Rodni's cell phone made was the same night near 12:30 a.m.
An expansive multi-agency effort to find Rodni is underway, which includes the following:
The FBI has added Rodni to their Missing Person Database.
At last count as of Friday morning, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, 1,563 tips have been reviewed.
Authorities say as of Friday, 73 personnel are assigned to Rodni's case, and over 18,800 personnel hours have been dedicated to finding the Truckee area teen.
The Placer County Sheriff's Office has created a tip line for this investigation.
Anyone with information about the teen's whereabouts is asked to call the tipline 530-581-6320, option 7. You can also email tips to sheriff_tahoeinvesttips@placer.ca.gov
As of Friday, the Placer County Sheriff's Office says many from the public are submitting the same tip through multiple options, which is slowing their ability to search for the teen.
The teen's friends have also set up this website with information.
The Placer County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday said Rodni was loaned a hoodie on Aug. 5, the day before she disappeared. The front of the hoodie is a solid dark gray and has lyrics from artist Lana Del Rey that read "you don't want to be forgotten you just want to disappear." The back of the hoodie has flowers and says "Lana Del Rey" on the back.
It is unknown if she was wearing that when she disappeared, but the sheriff's office believes she had it at the time.
During the investigation, Placer County Sheriff’s Office developed information that Kiely was seen in a video earlier in the evening at the party wearing the white sweatshirt pictured in this photo.
It’s unclear whether Kiely was wearing the sweatshirt when she was last seen. We are asking anyone who may remember seeing Kiely that evening to please reach out to us as we continue our search for her.
The sheriff's office also shared a photo of what Rodni's car looks like, a silver 2013 Honda CRV.
