Danette Colbert, charged with second-degree murder in the death of reporter Adan Manzano, has been sentenced to 25 years for unrelated theft and fraud. Despite a previous suspended sentence, prosecutors labeled Colbert a habitual offender due to her criminal history involving multiple fraud convictions. She is implicated in the death of Manzano, who was found dead during Super Bowl LIX weekend. Colbert was caught on video leaving his hotel room, and both she and an accomplice are facing murder charges in Jefferson Parish.
The evidence was overwhelming that this woman was a serial fraudster and took advantage of multiple tourists and innocent people over many years in the French Quarter.
Colbert was captured on security footage leaving Manzano's hotel room in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, police said.
