According to a statement from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the case involves Marayna Rodgers, a medical assistant from Washington. On December 5th, she went out to meet her 19-year-old friend Sakari Harnden. Sakari’s girlfriend, Chance Comanche, who is 27 years old, was also invited to join them. Rodgers was last heard from during the reported outing, and a missing person report was subsequently filed against her following the alleged kidnapping.

Furthermore, the police department recently suspected Chance Comanche and his girlfriend Sakari Harnden of kidnapping, leading to their booking. As a result of this incident, the Kings ultimately waived Chance. As the case unfolds, it has been revealed that Rodgers’ remains were discovered in the Vegas desert shortly after Chance and Sakari’s arrest. The police department strongly believes that Chance and Sakari are responsible for the crime.

Chance was not picked in the 2017 NBA Draft after completing two years at the University of Arizona. He subsequently succeeded in the G League. He spent a significant amount of time playing basketball in Turkey before making his NBA debut with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023.

Unfortunately, Chance’s NBA career seems to have ended abruptly owing to possible prison time; he only returned to the G League this year. People are waiting with bated breath to see how the case turns out while the police investigation progresses. Chance’s basketball career is at risk.
