Disappearance
On December 6th, 2023, Marayna Rodgers left her close friend’s place in Las Vegas and got in an Uber to go to Summerlin. She never made it to Summerlin and was discovered to be missing the following morning when neither her boyfriend nor close friends had heard from her. Her location was being shared with several friends/family and last showed her at a separate location in Las Vegas at 2:59 am.
