Kiely Rodni is/was an attractive 16-year-old white blond female from Truckee, California (near Lake Tahoe), who went missing from a party on August 6.
Rodni apparently looked and acted older than her age, and was likely doing drugs and/or drinking at the party, which takes place at a campground every year shortly before school starts. Hundreds of people attend, mostly high school and college aged.
Despite being only 16, Kiely has several tattoos and piercings already.
She was definitely last seen at the party, and her cell phone last pinged by a nearby lake, which is never good. Her car is also missing, which is one of the more baffling elements to the whole thing. While it's possible she could have wandered off while drunk or stoned, and then murdered by some freak at the party, why would her car also be missing for nearly 2 weeks?
Police are also having issues because the party was full of drugs, and the kids present at the party are terrified to talk about what was really going on there, for fear they will be arrested or kicked out of school. The police keep assuring them that any admission of drug use or underage drinking will be ignored, but the kids don't trust them, so potential leads regarding Kiely's whereabouts have dried up.
There are also some reports that some old perverts showed up there and were handing out drugs to the mostly-young partygoers, especially the girls. The concern is that one of these pervs was later responsible for Kiely's abduction, but there's no evidence to suggest that yet, and none of these pervs have been identified.
Oddly enough, a couple disappeared and was found dead very close to where Kiely disappeared, and on the same day, but it appears to be a coincidence. Janette 'JJ' Pantoja, 29, and her ex-boyfriend Juan Almanza Zavala, 36, were found dead in a car at the bottom of an embankment, having disappeared while driving back from Reno on August 6. Their car was found in Truckee, with both of their dead bodies, and it was fairly close to the campground.
However, it appears to simply have been a road accident. A 911 call reported that a car was seen going over the side and off a cliff, and indeed that was the car Zavala was driving with Pantoja as the passenger. They had just been in Reno for the annual "Hot August Nights" street show, where classic cars fill the streets of downtown Reno. I accidentally ran into Hot August Nights when I visited Reno in August 2008, for a completely unrelated reason. Made it virtually impossible to drive downtown at night there.
Much like the murder of those lesbians at a campground in Moab, Utah, just two days after Brian Laundrie was found fighting with his girlfriend Gabby Petito in the same city, once again this appears to be a coincidence. In fact, the death of this couple does not appear to be a murder.

Truckee is about 15 miles northwest of the northern part of Lake Tahoe, and about 18 miles northwest of Incline Village (a resort area on the northeast side of Lake Tahoe). However, it's about 45 miles, and a slow, hourlong drive to the part of Lake Tahoe you probably know, which is a combination of Stateline, Nevada and South Lake Tahoe, California. It's about 32 miles west of Reno. Most people do not pass Truckee on the way to Lake Tahoe, because it's kind of in the middle of nowhere.
Truckee was the residence of the skier who mysteriously disappeared from Northstar resort in December 2021, and was found dead 3 miles away in a residential area. However, that also did not appear to be foul play, as it seemed that he became disoriented in bad weather, and found himself lost in a blizzard.
