Sports reporter Adan Manzano was found dead in his New Orleans area hotel room while covering Super Bowl LIX. A previous victim of the woman charged in his murder warned a judge such a crime could happen. Danette Colbert, whom Kenner Police previously described as a “career criminal” known for fraud schemes in New Orleans, has been charged with second-degree murder in Manzano’s death, police announced Tuesday. One attorney who has represented Colbert declined to comment. CNN has not been able to determine if the attorney is representing Colbert in the case of Manzano, 27, who worked for the local Telemundo station in Kansas City and had traveled to New Orleans to report on the Super Bowl when he was found dead last month. Colbert has “quite a record and rap sheet,” Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley previously said, including “allegations of drugging men, theft of currency, fraudulent use of credit and debit cards, and other financial crimes.” Some of those allegations stem from 52-year-old David Butler, who accused Colbert of drugging and robbing him in New Orleans more than three years ago. In a Kenner Police Department news release Tuesday, police wrote that evidence suggested Colbert and an associate commonly use substances, including Xanax, to drug their victims.
