DANIEL WILLIAM MCKNIGHT An abandoned barbecue at the party site. The campground where 16-year-old Kiely Rodni was last seen. Petrucci’s kids all went to Forest Charter School, from which Kiely recently graduated, and the annual graduation party near Prosser Family Campground is a time-honored tradition. While Petrucci and the rest of the volunteer searchers are outwardly positive that Kiely will turn up, they are becoming increasingly concerned about why she hasn’t been found by now. It is not uncommon for skiers and hikers to go missing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Truckee and the locals are practiced at finding them.

We find people here … So we thought we’d find her in a reasonable amount of time or we would at least have recovered her car by now,” the mom said. One of them is Lisa Petrucci, 58, from nearby Sierraville, Calif., about 25 miles north of Truckee. Volunteers - from high school students to ski patrol and soccer moms - are searching by foot, dirt bike or pickup truck and logging their search grid on backcountry mapping tool CalTopo. “All scenarios are still on the table, because we don’t know what happened to Kiely,” Musallam said.
Police have not yet settled on a theory about how Kiely disappeared. The focus is on door-knocking partygoers to collect more information about how Kiely left the party. Thursday’s numbers are expected to be similar. On Wednesday, there were 91 detectives and investigators on the case. “But I can say the majority of partygoers were minors and young adults.” “I can’t talk about how many older guys were at the party,” Musallam said.

According to Placer County Sheriff’s Office public information officer Angela Musallam, the local teenagers at the party aren’t cooperating with police in the search for Kiely. The 16-year-old hasn’t been seen since, and authorities still can’t find the silver Honda CRV she drove to the get-together. She believes the tight-lipped kids might know where Kiely went after the party. We don’t want to take partygoers to jail for drugs or underage drinking - we want to find Kiely,” Musallam said, emphasizing cops will keep tips anonymous. “While we don’t condone that illegal activity, for the purposes of this search and investigation, that is not our priority. Cops announced over the weekend they were scaling back the search for Kiely after spending hundreds of hours scouring the region.Īuthorities have repeatedly told community members they’ll turn a blind eye to the illicit acts in the interest of finding the teen. The department has received hundreds of tips but had few leads after almost two weeks. Musallam said few of the paths leading out of the party site had cameras. Police have photos of Kiely at the party, but despite an estimated 200 to 300 attendees, not a single partygoer has come forward saying they saw Kiely leave. Her family has suffered enough,” she pleaded. “A lot of people from the party may be in college or may be just about to start college and they’re afraid they will ruin their future if they say something,” Musallam said.
