Three years before she was linked to the death of a journalist covering Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Danette Colbert reportedly faced charges of drugging a man as well as stealing $100,000 in cash, jewelry, upscale luggage and casino chips from his Las Vegas hotel room.
Woman linked to death of Super Bowl reporter allegedly had similar arrests Danette Colbert was known to police before meeting Adan Manzano, who died last week in a New Orleans-area hotel.
Now police are trying to figure out whether she fatally drugged the television sports reporter Adan Manzano, 26, who was found dead and robbed in his hotel near the New Orleans airport four days before the Super Bowl.
Colbert made bond – then allegedly drugged another man and stole his $60,000 watch, casino chips and credit cards after he invited her to his hotel room in Las Vegas.
Police in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, where the city’s international airport is, have said Manzano’s path had crossed that of Colbert’s by early Wednesday.
