A major search is underway for missing teen, Kiely Rodni, with renewed fears she may have been abducted

In a developing story officials, friends and family are scrambling to find 16-year-old, Kiely Rodni, who went missing after a party in Truckee, Northern California.

“We’re considering everything…We won’t rule anything out…
If you think you have information and you don’t think it’s relevant, we want it.”

Friends that were with her that night are trying to piece together what has happened to their friend.

“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…
So my concern is that somebody might have offered to drive her home and then didn’t take her home.”
sami smith, Kiely’s friend

Her distressed family are pleading for answers and have offered a $50,000 reward for Kiely’s safe return.

“We just want her home. We’re so scared, and we miss her so much. And we love her so much…
Kiely if you see this, please come home. I want nothing more but to hug you.”
Lindsey Rodni-Nieman, Kiely’s mother

Kiely’s mother, Lindsey, says she received a message from her daughter confirming she was leaving the party in 45 minutes and would be coming straight home.

Since then, no one has heard from Kiely.

Israel expands military strikes in Lebanon

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut. In eastern Lebanon, civilians like Jalal Ferhat and his family have fled toward the Syrian border in a desperate attempt to escape the worsening conflict.
