"We have been in constant contact with the police since early Saturday morning," Rodni-Nieman said. "There are no suspects at this time."
Rodni-Nieman said she was in touch with her daughter before she left for the day.
"I spoke with her via text a lot throughout the day, which is the relationship that I have with her. We're in constant contact," she told RadarOnline.com.
"The last text I got from her was at 11:30 that night saying that she was going to be leaving the party at 12:15 AM and coming straight home. I asked her to wake me up when she got home, like is always the case, and she said, 'Ok mama, I love you.' And then she never came home, and I woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning," Rodni-Nieman continued.
"And I realized that she hadn't woken me up, and I thought that she had slept through it or let my husband know ... I saw that her car wasn't in the driveway," Rodni-Nieman added, noting that she rushed over to Kiely's bed only to notice she wasn't there either.
"I immediately went to my phone to find her location and the last place that her phone showed any location for me and for any of her friends was at 12 o'clock the night before at the party," she shared.
When asked if any attendees came forward with info, Rodni-Nieman said some have.
"[Authorities] are not interested in busting anybody, we're just trying to find any clues. Nobody has any account of seeing her leave or seeing her car leave," Rodni-Nieman said.
Rodni-Nieman noted that her daughter is not in a relationship and said Kiely's ex-boyfriend, who previously moved away, came up and has been staying with her family to aid in the search.
At the end of our interview, Rodni-Nieman shared a message for her daughter.
"Oh, Kiely, please help us find you," she told RadarOnline.com. "Please do something. Anything that you can. We just miss you so much and just want you to come home."
