In an unexpected twist of events, a player from the Sacramento Kings G League, Chance Comanche, and his girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, have landed in jail for a serious crime on the Las Vegas strip. The pair are allegedly involved in the death of an acquaintance, Marayna Rodgers, as announced by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Unveiling the Crime
Chance Comanche, age 27, and a proud member of the Stockton Kings, was taken into custody by FBI agents in California on Friday. He is currently under arrest and awaiting extradition to Nevada for alleged kidnapping. Sacramento County Main Jail is taking no chances and retaining Comanche without bail.
Just a couple of days before Comanche's arrest, his 19-year-old girlfriend Sakari Harnden met with a similar fate. Her arrest place was in Las Vegas, and she is now facing kidnapping charges at the Clark County Detention Center. According to the Las Vegas Justice Court, Harnden's bail was $500,000.
Were They Behind the Disappearance and Death of Marayna Rodgers?
The question of everyone's minds - was this duo behind the death of Harnden's friend, Marayna Rodgers? Harnden and Comanche are both suspected of crafting a horrific murder conspiracy on Rodgers. She was last seen alive on Dec. 5 and was formally reported missing two days later.
According to reports, Rodgers had intended to meet Harnden that fatal night. Along with her came Comanche. The Stockton Kings played at the Dollar Loan Center that day in Henderson, Nevada. After Comanche's arrest on Friday, the team decided to drop him.
The detectives, suspecting foul play during the early stage of the investigation, gathered enough evidence to hold Harnden and Comanche accountable for Rodgers' disappearance and alleged kidnapping.
The Evidence Piles Up
After the arrest of the pair, the police were successful in collecting additional information on Rodgers' case. The investigation led the detectives to locate human remains in a remote desert area in Henderson, Nevada. The remains were identified as Rodgers by the Clark County coroner, which reinforced the belief that Harnden and Comanche played a significant part in both her kidnapping and murder.
The police department has indicated that charges against both Harnden and Comanche are expected to be updated to include murder.
Per jail records, Comanche is expected to appear in Sacramento County court on Tuesday. The public defender's office representing Harnden has yet to comment, and no representation for Comanche has been listed in jail records.
