Danette Colbert, 48, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of the 27-year-old Kansas City-based reporter Adan Manzano.

A Louisiana woman accused in a string of druggings of men whom she defrauded was charged on Tuesday with second-degree murder in the death of Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter whose body was found in a New Orleans hotel room in February while he was in town to cover the Super Bowl.

The alleged accomplice of Danette Colbert, 48, is Ricky White, who was a "transient," Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley stated at the press conference. He was charged with simple robbery and various fraud charges. Colbert and White were allegedly “working hand in hand on this," Conley said.
