The search for missing Northern California teen Kiely Rodni came to a sad conclusion Monday when law enforcement officials said remains found in a submerged car are "more than likely" hers.
The California Highway Patrol is investigating the matter as an accident, officials said.
The vehicle was found Sunday in Prosser Lake, in Truckee about 35 miles west of Reno, Nevada, by Adventures With Purpose, a private collective of divers who had been helping in the search.
"We have located a decedent inside the vehicle. We believe it is our missing person," Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon told reporters. "We have not been able to positive identify [the victim], but it’s more than likely where we are today."
