Kiely Rodni's Autopsy Results Delay Finally Explained??

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

The investigation into what occurred to Kiely 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 occasion out within the woods close to Truckee, California. Two weeks later, sadly, she and her automobile 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 not less than the mother and father had closure. Well, some…

The factor is, we nonetheless don’t know what occurred to the poor teen. It could have simply been a automotive accident… however it actually doesn’t seem like it. As diver Nick 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 grew to become much more crucial to research 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 could be delayed practically two months, all the way in which till November 1.

But due to an knowledgeable we could have a proof for what’s taking so lengthy.

Speaking out on a current 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. I’m 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 issue degree is way greater than we realized on this explicit post-mortem. Even figuring out method of loss of life is perhaps difficult. How about toxicology? Is {that a} no-go?

Barbara says whereas it’s very tough in these circumstances, it’s not inconceivable. They simply should assume exterior the field — or on this case, exterior the hair and blood. Toxicology could be present in instances like these, Butcher says, by way of the eyeballs. The “vitreous fluid” within the eyes accommodates a document of something that was in her system, too, and by “extracting that fluid with a needle” a medical expert may nonetheless get toxicology outcomes.

From simply this skilled opinion, fully on the skin, now we have a a lot better thought of the issue of this examination — and why it could take quite a bit longer than anybody needs to resolve this tragedy.
