These YouTube divers did in one day what cops couldn’t do in two weeks in Kiely Rodni search

They’re the deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni in less than a full day of looking — even after authorities spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.

Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir on Sunday — and within hours found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside.

“WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI,” the volunteer group claimed on Facebook, ahead of local authorities confirming that the body was indeed the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6.

If confirmed — with the sleuths as well as police promising updates later Monday — it would be at least the 24th missing person case the team of 10 has solved in less than three years.

“We have developed a set of skills that have led us in this direction,” lead investigator Doug Bishop, 38, told Fox 2 earlier this year.

    California authorities said they believe that the remains of Kiely Rodni, a missing 16-year-old early high school graduate, have been recovered from a reservoir near where she was last seen more than two weeks ago.

"We recovered the vehicle, we recovered the vehicle last night," Nevada County Sheriff Shannan Moon said in a news conference. "We have located a decedent inside the vehicle. We believe it is our missing person. We have not been able to positively identify, but it’s more than likely."

The investigation is still active, she added.

The sheriff's department announcement comes a day after a volunteer dive team said it found her missing 2013 Honda CRV in 14 feet of water with a body inside.
