YouTube divers did in 35 minutes what cops couldn't do in two weeks in Kiely Rodni search
[NYPOST] The deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni said Monday it took them just 35 minutes — even though authorities had spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.
Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir early Sunday — and almost immediately found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside, they said Monday.
“We began our search for Kiely … at 10:40am,” lead investigator Doug Bishop, 38, said in an update Monday.
By 11:15 a.m., one of the volunteers, Nick Rinn, “detected an object underwater using cutting-edge sonar technology,” Bishop said.
They knew it was a car in “roughly 14 feet of water and only 55 feet offshore,” with divers soon confirming “it was indeed Kylie’s vehicle,” Bishop said.
Even if it had been someone else, they found someone not found by the usual methods. | “We immediately notified family [and] law enforcement, and [Rodni’s] dad and grandpa were on scene within minutes,” he said.
The group had announced the find on Sunday, stating firmly that “WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI.”
However, local authorities have yet to confirm that the remains are those of the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6. An update in the case is scheduled for later Monday.
And the couple who went missing the same day were also found dead, but at least those who love them know what happened to them. Here’s hoping for a better outcome net time. |
