[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
The investigation into what occurred toKiely Rodni hit an actual pace bump final week. Is this why?
For those that haven’t been following the case, on August 6, the 16-year-old went lacking after a highschool celebration out within the woods close to Truckee, California. Two weeks later, sadly, she and her car had been discovered on the backside of the Prosser Creek Reservoir. She wasn’t discovered by police or different first responders however by, of all issues, a YouTube channel of volunteer investigators referred to as Adventures With Purpose. Unusual, sure, however no less than the dad and mom had closure. Well, some…
The factor is, we nonetheless don’t know what occurred to the poor teen. It could have simply been a automobile accident… however it actually doesn’t appear to be it. As diverNick Rinn from the AWP channel identified, Kiely’s physique was discovered within the backseat. So another person needed to have been driving.
After that thriller, it turned much more crucial to analyze the precise circumstances of Kiely’s loss of life. The subsequent step was clearly her post-mortem. However… these outcomes have been delayed — rather a lot truly. We discovered final Thursday the post-mortem can be delayed practically two months, all the way in which till November 1.

But due to an skilled we could have a proof for what’s taking so lengthy.
Speaking out on a latest episode of the DutyRon true crime present, former medical expert Barbara Butcher defined that the additional issue could have arisen from the circumstances below which Kiely’s physique was discovered. Now brace yourselves as a result of this subsequent bit will get a bit graphic…
According to Adventures With Purpose, the temperature of the water on the depth Kiely’s stays had been discovered was recorded to be about 80 levels Fahrenheit. Butcher cautioned:
“Unfortunately, 80 degrees is not ideal for preservation of a body.”
She added it’s not simply water that may have broken the physique over that point:
“This is a freshwater reservoir. Im going to assume there were fish in it. And, you know… fish and crabs and other marine life nibble at the body. So, there is some degree of mutilation.”
Ew. That’s actually upsetting.
It additionally implies the problem stage is way greater than we realized on this specific post-mortem. Even figuring out method of loss of life could be difficult. How about toxicology? Is {that a} no-go?
Barbara says whereas it’s very troublesome in these circumstances, it’s not unattainable. They simply must suppose outdoors the field — or on this case, outdoors the hair and blood. Toxicology may be present in instances like these, Butcher says, by means of the eyeballs. The “vitreous fluid” within the eyes comprises a report of something that was in her system, too, and by “extracting that fluid with a needle” a medical expert might nonetheless get toxicology outcomes.
From simply this skilled opinion, fully on the surface, now we have a a lot better thought of the problem of this examination — and why it could take loads longer than anybody needs to resolve this tragedy.
