Authorities have released the last known image of missing California teenager Kiely Rodni, who was last seen on Aug. 6.

Rodni, 16, was caught on video surveillance at a business in Truckee around 6:08 p.m. on Aug. 5. She was last seen hours later at a party at Prosser Family Campground wearing a black spaghetti strap top, green Dickies brand pants, and black Vans.

“We are treating her disappearance as an abduction right now because we have not been able to locate her vehicle,” said Angela Musallam, a spokeswoman for the Placer County Sheriff’s Office.

Rodni’s silver 2013 Honda CRV with a California license plate 8YUR127 hasn’t been located by authorities, and her phone has been out of service since the party.

Authorities estimate around 200 to 300 people were at the party, which was located in a wooded area, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.

Over 100 law enforcement officers, including the FBI, have been involved with searches in surrounding areas. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office and the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office have conducted searches on the ground, by aerial helicopter, and in surrounding water areas.

Rodni’s friend Sami Smith, who was with her most of the night she went missing, said she was planning to stay at the campground that night.

“I know that she wasn’t in the right mindset or state to drive. And if she were to have driven, she wouldn’t have made it far,” Smith told CBS. “So my concern is that somebody might have offered to drive her home and then didn’t take her home.”

Rodni is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighing approximately 115 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes.
