A Louisiana woman dubbed the “Bourbon Street Hustler” on social media is accused of stealing a Super Bowl reporter’s credit card before he was found dead in his hotel room last week in Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans.
Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old Telemundo reporter based in Kansas City, Missouri, traveled to New Orleans on assignment to cover Super Bowl LIX.
He was found dead on Feb. 5, the same day security footage from the Comfort Suites hotel in Kenner allegedly showed Colbert entering Manzano’s room and Colbert leaving by herself later on, according to Telemundo 39.
Danette Colbert, 45, who Kenner police described as a “career criminal,” is facing four counts of being a fugitive, two counts of a traffic violation, one count of “purse snatching,” one count of aggravated device fraud, one count of illegal transfer of funds, one count of bank fraud, one count of computer fraud and one count of robbery.
Telemundo 39 remembered Manzano as “a true professional and a rising star, who exemplified excellence in his work” in a statement.Â
“We will deeply miss Adan and his passion for sports, and the contributions he made to the local community,” the statement reads.
Manzano’s wife, Ashleigh Boyd, died in a car crash last year in Kansas. Â
Conley said there may be additional charges filed once the local coroner completes Manzano’s autopsy. Colbert is being held on $14,500 bond in Jefferson Parish.
