Who was Maryana Rodgers and what happened to her?
Today, we are going to be discussing the tragic, senseless case of Marina Rogers. Marina Rogers was 23 years old, originally from Los Angeles, but at the time, she was living in Edmonds, Washington. She was working as a medical assistant at the time, and according to those who knew Marina, she was an amazing friend. She was genuine, loving, and concerned for the well-being of others, the most selfless person that you could know. During the week of December 1st, 2023, Marina headed to Las Vegas, Nevada with her boyfriend at the time, Tremaine, and another friend of hers, Garrett, who she had known since she was a child. They had been friends for 15 years at that point. She was also visiting two other friends there, Gavin and Summer.
According to her boyfriend, Morena was a sex worker, so she went to Vegas with the intention of doing services related to that. After arriving to Las Vegas, Morena, Tremaine, and Garrett all stayed together in an Airbnb. By December 5th, Morena asked Garrett if he could drive her to meet up with a friend, 19-year-old Sakari Harnden. According to friends, Morena and Sakari had known each other for years. Marina took Sakari in and treated her like a sister years prior when she needed someone the most. So that is why they regularly met up and that's why they were meeting in Las Vegas that week. Marina showed Garrett a text message thread where Sakari told her that she was setting up an escort double date.
Apparently, someone was offering $1,000 to Marina for her services. That night, the two were supposed to spend the entire evening together meeting NBA players and were expecting to make $4,000 in one night. So, by around 1am on the morning of December 6th, Garrett drove Marina to meet Sakari at a location that they had previously agreed on. When doing so, according to Garrett, they met up with Sakari at her Mercedes. In the car, Garrett noticed that there were multiple suitcases and luggage behind the driver's seat of the car. And then sitting in the middle of the back seat was an unknown man. Sakari told Garrett that this man was a customer who was paying for both of their services. But this stood out to Garrett because typically a customer wouldn't be sitting in the back seat.
They would usually be sitting in the front seat. And if there was another sex worker with them, she would be in the back seat. But even though that stood out, it wasn't enough for him to like completely call the thing off. He wasn't that worried. It was just a little bit odd to him. So by 1.17 a.m., Garrett watched as Marina, Sakari, and the unknown man drove away in Sakari's Mercedes.
What were the circumstances leading to Maryana's disappearance?
After her night, Tremaine and Garrett were expecting Marina back to the Airbnb by 9 a.m. that same day, December 6th. but she never returned. Both men knew that it was very unusual for Marina not to return back when expected or at the very least check in with them. They knew that she had no cash on her, she had no debit or credit cards, nothing. They knew that she wouldn't choose to be out on her own for very long with absolutely no money. So, Tremaine tried to see where Marina was using the Find My iPhone app to track her location as he normally would. But this time, her location was turned off. In fact, none of Marina's friends were able to see her location. So, it's not like she just stopped sharing her location with her boyfriend.
She turned it off completely or shut her phone off. Once again, this was very unusual for her as she would never have her location turned off, especially when she was meeting with a client. Because of this, Tremaine reached out to Sakari because again, he knew that she was last known to be with her. Sakari ended up telling Tremaine that after the first date that included the both of them, Mirena left Sakari to go on a date of her own. She left Sakari in her own Mercedes, taking an Uber to her new date. But once again, this did not sit right with Tremaine. Morena always used his Uber account for any rides and his account was not showing any recent rides.
