Chilling twist in the death of the 27-year-old Super Bowl reporter Avan Manzano

A cool Vri arose Friday in the death of Adan Manzanoa 27-year-old TV reporter who traveled to cover Super Bowl But mysteriously died in a hotel room.

A “career criminal” with a story of fooling men were discovered and left Manzano’s room the morning after his death, the police in New Orleans Suburb of Kenner said. They added that she then used her credit card on “several” spots in the city.

Danette Colbert, 48, was arrested on Thursday night, but only faces charges of real estate crime “at this time,” police said. However, they said a probe into the “rising star” reporter’s death remains in motion and her charges could be upgraded after Coroner’s Office releases his findings.

“She plays a confidence game,” said Kenner police chief Keith Conley. “She’s definitely a career offender. All her crimes are … Access to vice, fraud, simple robberies, thefts, things of that kind. “

The boss said Colbert had an illegal firearm and drugs at the time of her arrest, but said the gun is not tied to Manzano’s death. However, he did not exclude the drugs that played a factor but did not say what type.

Conley said police first suspected potentially bad play when they realized that Manzano’s wallet – which he had used to check in at the hotel – was missing from his room.

Security footage showed that Colbert and Manzano entered a Comfort Suit’s hotel room together at 1 p.m. 04:30 Wednesday, said Conley. Colbert allegedly left the room shortly after, but returned another time. She then left again around 1 p.m. 06 and never returned, Conley said. Manzano was never seen leaving the room.

Conley said his department will eventually release the security footage. He said he wasn’t good at saying whether Manzano seemed to be drunk or not in the rocks.

Colbert’s previous arrests include her allegedly fooling a man and stealing $ 50,000 from him on Las Vegas Strip in 2022, The Daily Mail reported. Colbert denied the crime, but was allegedly indicted for similar accusations later that year.

The tabloid added Colbert was arrested for allegedly driving 100 miles per hour near a school in Nevada that summer, and Conley said she was arrested the following year in New Orleans for fooling someone.

A Facebook page in Conley’s name has been sleeping since 2021, when her last post comes from Las Vegas.

Manzano, a Telemundo Kansas City reporter who worked with his third Super Bowl, was found dead Wednesday afternoon after he did not show up to work as expected. He had spent the first half of the week interviewing the NFL super stars that included Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Manzano posted from the festivities on Monday and wrote, “The teams, the feeling and all the stories about this great event where Chiefs are looking for the long-awaited three-time championship begins here.”

A cause of death has not yet been released for Manzano, adding the mystery to Mexico City natives.

There has since been an outflow of praise and tribute to Manzano, whose wife died in a car accident last year. They had a child together, a young girl who was seriously wounded in the wreck that took her mother’s life in Topka, Kansas.

“Adan was a unique professional and a rising star whose dedication and talent reflected expertise in his work,” his station said in a statement. “We will deeply miss Adan, his passion for sports and the contributions he made to the local community.”

Conley warned others who traveled to the Super Bowl to be aware as he claims criminals are known for traveling to big events and prey for those who are in an unknown surroundings.

“This brings out that there are people out there who offer other people and bring them into their confidence and sacrifice them,” he said. “I know that when you have a bigger event like the Super Bowl, you get these travelers criminals coming in and you know, find victims.”
