Search continues for missing California teen Kiely Rodni

Fox News' Laura Ingle shares updates in the case of Kiely Rodni, missing since Aug. 6.

Authorities pulled a white SUV from a California reservoir on Sunday evening – following claims from a private dive team that they found the body of missing 16-year-old Kiely Rodni.

Authorities have not confirmed that Rodni has been found. Officials will hold a press conference on Monday to give an update on the search.

The SUV was pulled from the water near the campground where Rodni vanished from about two weeks ago. It is unclear if the vehicle – which was removed from Prosser Creek Reservoir – belonged to Rodni.

Adventures with Purpose, a popular YouTube channel that assists in missing persons cases, claimed that they found her car upside down in 14 feet of water with her inside of it.

A spokesperson for the Placer County Sheriff's Office said that they are working to confirm the reports and their dive team is on the way to the lake.

Rodni vanished from a party at a campground in Truckee, California, in the early morning hours of Aug. 6.

Authorities spent weeks searching wooded areas near Prosser Family Campground in Tahoe National Forest that locals call "The Campground," where Rodni was last seen around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 6 at an estimated 300-person party that began on the night of Aug. 5.

Officials began picking up and bagging evidence in the camping area on Aug. 11.

The party Rodni attended at the campground on the weekend of Aug. 6 before she vanished included hundreds of attendees, as well as drugs and alcohol.

Authorities believe she may have been abducted and are treating their investigation as an abduction. After her disappearance, Placer County officials activated the CodeRed Alert System, which sends alerts to the some-100,000-person Placer County population.
