Former NBA G League player Chance Comanche on Thursday pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and killing a Washington state woman in Las Vegas – months after police said he confessed and showed them where her body was buried. The former Stockton Kings player and his ex-girlfriend Sakari Harnden were both charged by a grand jury earlier this month in connection with the kidnapping and murder of Harden’s friend Marayna Rodgers, court documents show. Comanche, 27, and Harnden, 19, used a cord or another ligature to strangle Rodgers, the grand jury indictment alleges. Both Comanche and Harnden on Thursday pleaded not guilty to all four charges against them, including murder with the use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree kidnapping with the use of a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. CNN has sought comment from Comanche’s and Harnden’s attorneys. The plea comes after Comanche in December confessed to kidnapping and killing Rodgers with Harnden and then led detectives to where Rodgers’ body was buried, according to police.
