The Nurse, the NBA Wannabe, the Teenage Sex Worker, and the Murder

Surgical nurse Marayna Rodgers, from the state of Washington, heads off to Las Vegas with a few friends to party for a few days. Unbeknownst to her, an old friend in Vegas is harboring a resentment about a watch and a secret she’s told Marayna, but specifically warned her not to share with anyone. When Marayna goes missing on December 6, 2023, the Las Vegas PD wonders if Marayna’s old friend has allowed that resentment to turn into rage, or if there is something more sinister at play.
