Detectives in Northern California have launched an abduction investigation after a 16-year-old girl vanished from a large party Saturday.

Kiely Rodni was last seen attending "a party of more than 100 juveniles and young adults" near the Prosser Family Campground in Truckee, California, at 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Office. Also missing from the party was Rodni's car, a silver 2013 Honda CRV.

Her phone has been out of service since the party, police said.

The sheriff's office is investigating Rodni's disappearance as an abduction because it hasn't been able to locate her car, said Angela Musallam, a public information officer with the sheriff’s office.

Detectives are asking for help finding Rodni and have set up a tip line people can call if they have information.

"Kiely is described as a Caucasian female, 5’7”, 115 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes," said a Facebook post from the sheriff's office. "She was last seen wearing green Dickies pants, a black tank top, numerous piercings and jewelry, including a nose ring."

Rodni's mother, Lindsey Rodni-Nieman, said in a video posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page that she just wants her daughter home.

"We're so scared, and we miss her so much, and we love her so much," Rodni-Nieman said tearfully. "Kiely, we love you, and if you see this, please just come home. I want nothing more than to hug you."

Rodni-Nieman implored anyone with information to come forward.

"And we're not looking to, like, bust anybody else or get anybody in trouble," she said. "We just want to see our daughter home."
