Comanche's ex-girlfriend, 19 year old Sakari Harnden, who he previously dated 1 year ago, had been arrested two days earlier in Las Vegas on related charges.[1][2] Rodgers' remains were subsequently found in the Nevada desert days after Comanche admitted to strangling, and ditching Rodgers body, as well as showing on a map where the remains were located.[1][2]
