Danette Colbert is facing multiple charges, including aggravated device fraud and bank fraud, after a Telemundo reporter, Adan Manzano, was found dead in his hotel room during Super Bowl week in Kenner, Louisiana.
A Louisiana woman known online as the 'Bourbon Street Hustler' is facing multiple charges after a Telemundo reporter was found dead in his hotel room last week during Super Bowl week in Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans. Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old reporter based in Kansas City, Missouri, traveled to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX coverage. He was discovered deceased on February 5th.
Security footage from the Comfort Suites allegedly shows Danette Colbert, a 45-year-old woman described by Kenner police as a 'career criminal,' entering Manzano's room and leaving alone later.Kenner police believe Manzano may have been drugged and are investigating other potential 'suspicious deaths under similar circumstances.' During a press conference, Kenner Police Department Chief Keith Conley stated that detectives found one of Manzano's missing credit cards, the same one used for hotel check-in, along with a missing cellphone. Surveillance footage captured Manzano arriving at his room around 4:35 a.m. on February 5th. Colbert was observed leaving and re-entering the room shortly after, and then leaving again around 6 a.m. without returning.The credit card's location led authorities to Colbert through a search warrant. Colbert, known for her history of confidence games, access device fraud, and robbery schemes, had a stolen firearm and narcotics found at her residence during the search. Chief Conley emphasized that Colbert's modus operandi involves gaining access to personal information and credit cards through her confidence game. He detailed three separate criminal cases where Colbert exploited victims in a similar manner, along with several other offenses on her record. Colbert was initially arrested in Las Vegas in January 2022 for a theft at Wynn Las Vegas, where a man reported thousands of dollars in cash and belongings missing after inviting two women to his hotel room. She was later arrested in July 2022 for a similar incident at Encore, another luxury resort in Las Vegas. In both cases, she was charged with grand larceny and administering a drug to aid in the commission of a felony. Manzano's death is currently under investigation, and the local coroner will complete an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Additional charges against Colbert may be filed pending the coroner's findings.
