Her death was discussed here: > [@R.I.P.

She was the stripper involved with powerful U.S. Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, whose Tidal Basin affair was instrumental in his political downfall in the '70s. Remember when sex scandals ended political careers? My, how times have changed. ---

Adventures with Purpose just found a young girl even though marine units from three local sheriff’s offices had already searched the reservoir: > **[Body found in reservoir believed to be California teen](https://apnews.com/article/california-truckee-climate-and-environment-8400111502466682cec38c5e06ddcd89)** > > TRUCKEE, Calif.

I think that’s one of the most recent missing persons they’ve found. Kiely had only been missing a couple weeks. Adventures With Purpose usually works old cases. People that went missing years ago. It’s always good giving families closure. Otherwise they would have spent years wondering if Kiely Rodni had just run away. ---

The [little girl lost off right offshore from my place on Lake Michigan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lake-michigan-takes-another-life/542642/2) in 2010 has still not been found. But it’s nearly 500 feet deep just a few miles from shore here, too. I still keep a watchful eye out, 12 years later.
