Missing California teen Kiely Rodni was caught on video wearing a pink and white sweatshirt at the campground party she vanished from nearly two weeks ago, police said.

The Placer County Sheriff’s Office released a stock image of the sweatshirt — a white hoodie with pink block letters spelling out ‘ODD FUTURE’ all across it.

Investigators say Rodni was seen wearing the sweatshirt in a video taken early during the party, but the footage has not been made public. It’s unclear if Rodni was still wearing the sweatshirt when she went missing.

The 16-year-old girl from Northern California went missing nearly two weeks ago after attending a high school graduation party held at a campground — and authorities believe she may have been abducted.

As the search for Rodni enters its 10th day, the reward for information leading to her return home has rose to $75,000.

She was last seen just after midnight on August 6, around when she texted her mother she was leaving and coming ‘straight home.’

Missing persons fliers have been dispersed through the town of Truckee, not far from Lake Tahoe and the California and Nevada border. Search crews have scoured Prosser Lake, a reservoir surrounding the campground where Rodni’s cellphone last pinged.

Searching the lake, which is about 57 feet deep with poor visibility, has proven to be difficult for rescue crews, who spent most of the first week surveying the immediate area.

Sami Smith, a friend of Rodni’s, told Fox News Digital she last saw her around 12.30am, and that she believed Rodni would be spending the night on the campground because she was too drunk to drive.

Somewhere between 200 and 300 teens and young adults attended the party, which was a celebration for graduates from several towns in the area. Despite only being 16, Rodni had graduated high school early this year with honors.

According to Smith, none of the people the two met that night seemed suspicious.

Angela Mussalam, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said police have received videos and images taken the night Rodni vanished and are currently investigating hundreds of leads.

Rodni’s car, a 2013 silver Honda CRV has not been seen since the party, which is part of the reason officials believe she may have been abducted.

Rodni has been described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 118 pounds. She has blonde hair and hazel eyes and a tattoo on her ribs of the number ’17.’ She was last seen wearing green Dickie’s pants and a black tank top. She has a nose ring and several other piercings, authorities said.
