A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the death of Adan Manzano, a Telemundo reporter found dead in his hotel room in Kenner, Louisiana, while covering the Super Bowl. Authorities announced the arrest of Christian Anderson, 33, on Friday, revealing new details about an alleged organized scheme to drug and rob victims.

Manzano, 27, was discovered face-down in his hotel room on February 5. The Jefferson Parish coroner determined that he died from the combined effects of alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax, and alcohol, along with positional asphyxia. Anderson is accused of playing a significant role in the events leading to Manzano's death.

According to the Kenner Police Department, Anderson rented the car used by Danette Colbert, one of the two previously charged suspects. Colbert, 48, has been described by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill as a "serial fraudster." She was arrested shortly after Manzano's death and initially faced property crime charges, which later escalated to second-degree murder following the autopsy results.

Investigators revealed that Anderson allegedly provided logistical support and maintained extensive communication with Colbert after Manzano was found dead. Text messages and digital communications indicated that Anderson, Colbert, and another suspect, Rickey White, 34, engaged in a coordinated effort to target victims, drug them, and steal their belongings.

Anderson faces multiple charges, including simple robbery, purse snatching, access device fraud, illegal transmission of money, bank fraud, and computer fraud. He is currently in custody at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. It remains unclear if he has legal representation.

Manzano was last seen entering his hotel room with Colbert on the morning of his death. A device believed to be his cellphone was later found at Colbert's residence, and she allegedly used his credit card at a local store.

Rickey White was arrested in Florida in March on related fraud and theft charges. He was extradited to Louisiana and charged with second-degree murder earlier this month. An attorney representing White has denied the charges against him.

Colbert has a history of similar offenses, including allegations of drugging victims and stealing their assets. In a previous case, a victim accused her of drugging him and stealing tens of thousands of dollars. Despite the severity of her actions, she was initially sentenced to five years of probation in December, just two months before Manzano's death. Following public outcry and intervention from the Attorney General's Office, a judge later sentenced her to 25 years in prison for her prior convictions.

Murrill expressed her hope for justice in Manzano's case, stating, "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." She added, "I wish we could have saved the life of Adam Manzano."

As the investigation continues, authorities are working to uncover more details about the alleged criminal activities surrounding Manzano's tragic death.
