Woman With History of Drugging Men Is Arrested in Connection to Death of Telemundo Reporter Covering Super Bowl in New Orleans
New York Post ^ | Feb. 7, 2025 | Natalie O'Neill

A Louisiana woman with a history of drugging men and stealing their credit cards was arrested in connection to the death of a Kansas City Telemundo reporter while he was in New Orleans to cover the Super Bowl, police said Friday.

Danette Colbert, 48, of Slidell, was busted after she was captured in surveillance camera footage leaving journalist Adan Manzano’s hotel room, then allegedly using his credit card at stores around the Big Easy, NBC News reported.

She was captured in surveillance camera footage leaving the 27-year-old reporter’s hotel room in the suburb of Kenner before going on the alleged shopping spree, according to police.

Adan Manzano was found unresponsive in his hotel room in a New Orleans suburb. Colbert has so far only been charged with property crimes, including bank fraud and theft — but she has previously been accused of drugging at least two men and going on shopping sprees with their cards, Kenner police said. She has a rap sheet “that includes allegations of drugging men, theft of currency, fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, and other financial crimes,” Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said.

What’s the world come to? If you can’t trust New Orleans hookers, who can you trust?

You learn something new each day. I didn’t know that Telemundo had a scribe in KC.

I know you pay hookers to leave, but I always assumed that meant without your credit cards.

Why is a decent looking 27-year-old calling that for sex? Boggles the mind.

Most are assuming that he hooked up with the whore, who then drugged and robbed him.

More likely, she drugged him at the hotel bar without his knowledge and then helped him back to his room while he was unable to consent (and barely walk).
