A viral YouTube dive team that specializes in search-and-recovery expeditions for missing persons says they found 16-year-old Kiely Rodni and her car in a California reservoir in about half an hour on Sunday—despite police previously telling them that the location had been searched.
Adventures With Purpose, a search-and-recovery group that has over 2 million YouTube subscribers and has solved roughly two dozen cold cases, revealed the harrowing detail during a Monday press conference announcing how a six-man dive team located Rodni and her 2013 silver Honda CRV under 14 feet of water in Prosser Reservoir. The discovery comes just two weeks after Rodni mysteriously disappeared from a high-school graduation party at a northern California campground.
“We have found Kiely Rodni’s vehicle and have confirmed there were remains inside,” lead investigator Doug Bishop said.
