APRodni disappeared after a camping party in the Tahoe National Forest.AP Rodni, 16, was last seen at a camping party with several hundred other young revelers in the Tahoe National Forest on August 6. She had been drinking and was probably too drunk to go back to drive home, 18-year-old partygoer Sami Smith told Fox News Digital. Detectives interviewed less than half of the partygoers, Placer County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Angela Musallam reportedly said. Many of those in attendance have remained tight-lipped for fear of being accused of “illegal activity,” according to authorities. “Although our detectives have interviewed more than 100 people present, they would like more cooperation,” Musallam told the agency. None of the potential witnesses interviewed by police saw the high school graduate leave the party, officials said. Rodni’s phone last rang around 12:30 am. in a clearing in the woods near the site of the massive outboard in Truckee and the 2013 Honda CRV remained unaccounted for, officers said.
