Woman and Accomplice Charged in Reporter Murder

Danette Colbert, a 48-year-old woman, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter found dead in his hotel room in Kenner, Louisiana, during Super Bowl week. Evidence, including security footage and the discovery of Manzano's possessions at Colbert's residence, links her to the crime. Manzano's death was attributed to a combination of alcohol and Xanax, which he reportedly did not have a prescription for, leading to positional asphyxia. Colbert, described as a 'career criminal' with a history of drugging and robbing men, allegedly collaborated with an accomplice, Rickey White, who was also arrested. The manner of death has been classified as 'undetermined' by the coroner, yet authorities are confident in their case against Colbert. The investigation remains open as officials continue to gather evidence.
