World enews: Divers who found body in Kiely Rodni case will join search for missing 22-year-old Jolissa Fuentes

The search for missing 22-year-old Jolissa Fuentes will soon be boosted by the same team of volunteer divers who discovered a car and body in the search for missing 16-yyear-old Kiely Rodni.

Speaking on Monday about the discovery connected to the teenager’s disappearance, the volunteer diving team Adventures With Purpose said they would soon begin helping to solve Ms Fuentes’s disappearance.

Ms Fuentes’s family and police say she was last seen at an AM/PM gas station on 7 August driving a 2011 Hyundai and that she has not been in touch since. A police search has meanwhile proved ineffective in finding her.

The Fuentes family had criticised police for a lack of progress in the search, with the woman’s father telling the New York Post last week: “What I don’t understand is, if you’ve got all these resources and other agencies involved — police say the FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] is getting involved — we should have something.”

He added: “These are some of our top, trained agencies in the United States, supposedly”.

News of the discovery of a car and body connected to Ms Rodni has also raised questions about the police search for the missing teenager, who was last seen at a party and a nearby lake earlier this month near Truckee, California.

Despite allocating nearly 20,000 personnel hours to the Rodni case, the Adventures With Purpose volunteer diving team said on Sunday they were able to make a significant discovery within minutes of entering a lake already searched by police.
