Kiely Rodni, 16, has not been seen since a large party at a campground off State Route 89 in Truckee. According to authorities, the gathering included an estimated 200-300 "juveniles and young adults" from across the Tahoe area, including Truckee, Reno, Sparks and Auburn.
Police recovered a surveillance video of Rodni at a local business in Truckee on Aug. 5 at 6:08 p.m., one of the last places she was spotted before the party. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap bodysuit, green Dickies brand pants with a black grommet belt and black Vans shoes.
She and her vehicle — a silver 2013 Honda CRV — disappeared Saturday morning and her phone "has been unreachable" since that time, according to authorities.
On Wednesday, investigators said they've received over 300 tips in the search for Rodni, which has expanded to 265 personnel across multiple agencies. "Helicopters from the California Highway Patrol and the Placer County Sheriff’s Office continued to do aerial searches for Kiely and her vehicle," officials said.
Sami Smith, an 18-year-old Truckee High School graduate, told KCBS Radio she was on the other end of Rodni's last known phone call at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday. "I was in a car going home…(and) she called me from the party," Smith described, saying Rodni was offering her a ride home. "After that, nobody is reported to have any contact with her or has seen her."
Investigators are treating the disappearance as an abduction.
Friends and family of Rodni announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts on Monday.
