Rodgers vanished on Dec. 6 during a trip to Sin City. She was last seen getting into a car with her friend, Sakari Harnden, 19, according to Las Vegas News.

Comanche played a G League game in Henderson, Nevada, just 15 miles from Las Vegas, the night before Rodgers went missing.

Shortly after his arrest, he was subsequently released from the Stockton Kings, a developmental affiliate of the Sacramento Kings.

Harnden, Rodgers' friend, was arrested in Las Vegas on Dec. 13 on a first-degree kidnapping charge.

Comanche is a Los Angeles-born big man who went undrafted out of the University of Arizona and had appeared in 24 games over the last two seasons with the Stockton Kings.

Comanche, who is ineligible for bail, is scheduled to appear in Sacramento County Court on Dec. 19. The details of how long he was in Las Vegas remain unknown.
