The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in Nevada says a woman was kidnapped by friends and then murdered in early December, according to reports.
Police say Marayna Rodgers went missing since December 5, 2023 when she was with her friend 19-year-old Sakari Harnden and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Chance Comanche.
Two people who knew Rodgers notified police on December 7, 2023 and said she was missing and that she had not been seen or heard from in a couple of days. That’s when police started their investigation.
The Criminal Apprehension Team (CAT), made up members of the FBI, LVMPD, Henderson and North Las Vegas Police Departments arrested two people in connection with Marayna Rodgers disappearance.
Through police investigation and suspicion of foul play Harnden was arrested in Las Vegas on December 13, 2023 and Comanche was arrested in Sacramento, CA on December 15, 2023. Camanche is expected to face charges in Las Vegas and will be extradited to Nevada.
Both Harnden and Comanche are expected to be charged with open murder.
Through their extensive investigation, CAT then located the body of Rodgers in the desert area in Henderson, NV. The Clark County Coroner has confirmed the remains are of Marayana Rodgers.
According to the Stockton Kings NBA G League website, the affiliate of the Sacramento Kings announced Friday that they had released Comanche. He played center with the team since 2022 and played college basketball at Arizona.
