Telemundo reporter Adam Manzano’s tragic death in a New Orleans hotel has raised suspicions about the woman he was last seen with, Danette Colbert, also known as the “Bourbon Street Hustler.” Security footage captured Manzano walking into a hotel room with Colbert, who is now being investigated for his death. It has also come to light that Colbert is being looked into for another similar fatality involving a Maryland man, John Jenkins, who was found dead in a French Quarter hotel in December.
Authorities are exploring the possibility that Colbert drugged and robbed Manzano, as his cellphone and credit card were found in her possession. This incident has prompted several other alleged victims to come forward, including David Butler, who recounted being drugged by Colbert and waking up to find his belongings missing.
Colbert’s criminal history includes charges of grand larceny and administering drugs to aid in felonies, as well as convictions for computer fraud and theft. Despite these offenses, she managed to avoid prison time and was placed on probation. This lenient sentence has sparked criticism from Butler, who believes that Manzano’s death could have been prevented if stricter measures had been taken.
The investigation into Manzano’s death has now expanded to include Jenkins’ case, with law enforcement agencies collaborating to uncover any potential connections between the two incidents. The tragic loss of these individuals has shed light on the dangers of encountering individuals like Colbert, who has a history of preying on unsuspecting victims. As the investigation continues, authorities are working diligently to bring justice to those affected by Colbert’s alleged crimes.
