A Kansas City sports reporter was found dead in his New Orleans hotel room during Super Bowl week, and now two people have been convicted in his death: Danette Colbert for negligent homicide and Rickey White for racketeering. Prosecutors allege White ran a crew that targeted men in the French Quarter, with women like Colbert luring, drugging, and robbing them — including Manzano, whose phone, card, and key were later found on Colbert.
