Overview

• Christian Anderson, 33, was arrested May 30 and charged with multiple fraud and robbery offenses tied to the scheme that targeted Manzano.
• Authorities allege Anderson rented the vehicle used by Danette Colbert, coordinated post-crime communications and attempted to profit from the reporter’s stolen assets.
• Adan Manzano, 27, was found dead on Feb. 5 in his Kenner hotel room, with toxic levels of Xanax and alcohol contributing to positional asphyxia.
• Danette Colbert and Rickey White were previously arrested and face second-degree murder charges after security footage showed Colbert entering Manzano’s room and later using his credit card.
• All three suspects are held at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center as investigators examine digital records to assess the full scope of the conspiracy.
