\nEerie surveillance footage shows the so-called \u201cBourbon Street Hustler\u201d Danette Colbert luring sports reporter Adan Manzano into a New Orleans area hotel room, where he was later found dead, police said.<\/p>\n

The video shows Colbert, 48, with Manzano, 27, a reporter for Telemundo Kansas City who was in town to cover the Super Bowl, police in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner said in a Friday press conference.<\/p>\n

The two entered a Comfort Suites hotel around 5 a.m. on February 5th. Over the next few hours, Colbert left the room, came back, and left again, the footage shows.<\/p>\n

But Manzano never emerged and was found dead that night, Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said.<\/p>\n

Manzano\u2019s phone and credit card were missing from the hotel room, and the card was used for fraudulent charges in stores around New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Cops arrested Colbert the next day, and a sweep of her house uncovered the credit card and phone, along with narcotics and a stolen firearm.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a career criminal \u2026 Ms. Colbert has quite a record and rap sheet for confidence games, access device fraud, and robbery schemes,\u201d Conley said, detailing a long history of theft and credit card fraud.<\/p>\n

At least two of those cases involve Colbert seducing, drugging and robbing men.<\/p>\n

Colbert has been charged with property crimes in connection to the death of Manzano but has not been charged with murder.<\/p>\n

However, authorities said the investigation \u201cis still ongoing\u201d and her charge may be upgraded when police obtain a coroner\u2019s report, which could take weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as the coroner finishes with his findings, he will classify it as either a homicide or whatever death the evidence leads him to,\u201d Conley said.<\/p>\n

Before his tragic passing, Manzano\u2019s wife died last year in a car crash that also injured their young daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
