A pro basketball player was arrested by the FBI on Friday and charged with a woman’s disappearance.
Chance Comanche, 27, was detained in Sacramento and charged with first-degree kidnapping of Marayna Rodgers whose remains were found in a desert area in Henderson, Nevada, police said.
His charges will be upgraded to include murder.
The 23-year-old medical assistant from Washington state was last seen alive in Las Vegas on Dec. 6, according to local CBS affiliate KLAS 8.
Comanche is accused of detaining Rodgers without her consent “for the purpose of killing her and/or inflicting bodily harm.” He is being held without bond in the Sacramento County Jail, records show.
The Stockton Kings played against the G League Ignite in Henderson, Nevada on Dec. 5 — the night before Rodgers vanished. Henderson is 15 miles away from Las Vegas.
Comanche has since been released by the Stockton Kings.
Comanche’s girlfriend, 19-year-old Sakari Harnden was allegedly seen with Rodgers the night of her disappearance. Witnesses saw Rodgers get into a car with Harnden.
Harnden was arrested on a first-degree kidnapping charge and is being held in a downtown Las Vegas jail. Her bail was set at $500,000.
In a separate case, Harnden faces a theft charge for allegedly stealing a Rolex watch, per a criminal complaint obtained by 8 News Now.
