A Louisiana woman with a history of drugging men and stealing their credit cards was arrested after the death of a TV reporter who was in New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

The investigation is ongoing, and police say that Colbert could face upgraded charges depending on the coroner's findings.
A Louisiana woman with a history of drugging men and stealing their credit cards was arrested after the death of a TV reporter who was in New Orleans for the Super Bowl , police said Friday. Detectives discovered that the credit card Manzano used to check into the Comfort Suites wasn't on his body or in the hotel room, according to Conley.
Colbert has been charged with property crimes, including fraud and theft-related offenses, though this investigation remains ongoing, according to the police statement. 'You asked if this was a homicide, I don't know where it's going to end up. We're going to let the evidence lead us to the end result and not speculate,' Conley said. Gastrointestinal outbreak on Royal Caribbean cruise ship sickens more than 90 passengers and crew 'As soon as the coroner finishes with his findings and they will classify it as either homicide or whatever death the evidence leads him to and then these charges could be upgraded.' The suspect has an arrest record that includes allegations of drugging men, theft of currency, fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, and other financial crimes, said Kenner police, which asked that anyone who may recognize Danette Colbert and has any information regarding her involvement in these crimes to call investigators. In 2022 in Nevada, police said Colbert was charged with introducing a substance, a foreign substance into a victim, Conley said, and the other one was in Jefferson Parish, I believe it was two years ago. Colbert was booked on suspicion of simple robbery, access device fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds, bank fraud and computer fraud, the police chief said. It wasn't immediately clear Friday afternoon if Colbert had hired or been assigned an attorney to speak on her behalf. 'We are saddened to share that Adan Manzano passed away yesterday in New Orleans,' the station said in a news release. 'We are cooperating with law enforcement as they investigate this tragic event.' KGKC described Manzano as a true professional and rising star who exemplified excellence in his work. This was Manzano's third-straight season covering the Super Bowl for the TV station. 'We will deeply miss Adan and his passion for sports, and the contributions he made to the local community,' the TV station said. 'Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
