Volunteer divers said Sunday they believe they found the vehicle and body of Kiely Rodni, a 16-year-old girl who had been missing since early August and was last seen at a party near Truckee. Authorities verified a body was found, but said the identity has not been confirmed.
The dive team, Adventures With Purpose, posted on social media about 2:30 p.m. from Prosser Reservoir, which was adjacent to the campground where the party was held: "Car is upside down in only 14' of water. We have CONFIRMED Kiely is inside." The group wrote that the family had been notified, and Sacramento news station KCRA later showed video footage of a car being pulled out of the water.
But the Nevada County Sheriff's Office, in a Facebook post four hours later, wrote that the identity had not been "confirmed". The post said representatives from Nevada County and Placer County sheriffs' offices, the FBI and allied agencies had converged on the scene to investigate the divers' findings, and set a news conference Monday at 11 a.m. at the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District office.
