TRUCKEE, Calif. — The mother of a local teenager who went missing this weekend has issued a plea to the community asking for help as authorities continue to search.

Kiely Rodni, 16, of Truckee, was last seen at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at a party attended by approximately 100 kids near the Prosser Family Campground, the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said.

Kiely’s mom, Lindsey Rodni-Nieman, on Sunday issued an emotional plea to the community saying there’s nothing more she’d rather do than hug her daughter.

“We just want her home, we’re so scared, we miss her so much,” said Rodni-Nieman in a sheriff’s office Facebook post. “And Kiely, we love you so much and if you’re seeing this, please just come home. I want nothing more than to hug you.

Anyone else out there, if you know where she is, if you know anything about where she might be or have any ideas, please come forward and share them,” she added. “We’re not looking to bust anybody else or get anybody in trouble, we’re looking to get our daughter home.”
