The text chain the men had started as a kind of virtual support group erupted with relief, as well as frustration that it had come to this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe finally went too far,\u201d David Butler, 52, wrote on Feb. 7, linking to an article about Mr. Manzano\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of the men replied: \u201cSo she didn\u2019t get any time after the trial you testified in?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of the men had come to town on a guys\u2019 trip. Another was visiting family. A renovation project brought another to New Orleans, where the men say they became Ms. Colbert\u2019s victims. Over the years, they said, they had reported her to law enforcement and spent hundreds of hours trying to repair damage to their finances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, Ms. Colbert, 48, had been on probation at the time of Mr. Manzano\u2019s death \u2014 despite having twice been charged in connection with similar scams on the Las Vegas Strip. (Both of those cases were dismissed.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Days before Mr. Manzano was supposed to cover the Super Bowl for Telemundo Kansas City, his co-workers called his hotel for a wellness check after he missed an appointment. His body was found in his room on Feb. 5, the police said, with his phone and a credit card missing. They had been stolen by Ms. Colbert, according to the authorities, who said that she had been involved in similar schemes in New Orleans. This week, preliminary autopsy findings showed that the 27-year-old Mr. Manzano had died from the toxic effects of Xanax and alcohol, in addition to positional asphyxia. He was found facedown against a pillow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Investigators said on Tuesday that they had also found Xanax at Ms. Colbert\u2019s home the day after Mr. Manzano\u2019s death, and that she had commonly used it to drug victims. They charged her with second-degree murder, which in Louisiana carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Butler said his ordeal began more than three years ago \u2014 in the early morning hours of Nov. 6, 2021, when he had gone out to the French Quarter to take a break from renovating a house not far from the nightlife district.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Colbert and another woman approached him outside a bar on Bourbon Street and asked whether he wanted to join them, he recalled in a victim impact statement and in interviews. He took them up on the offer. But after leaving his first drink unattended to buy a second round and coming back to finish it, he said, something felt off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWithin minutes, I started feeling very strange, woozy, a feeling like the world around me was going dark,\u201d Mr. Butler said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His memory of what happened next is fuzzy: He recalled Ms. Colbert pushing him into a waiting taxi with her, he said, and about 12 hours later, a property manager at the home he was renovating shaking him awake as he lay on a mattress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe said he thought I was dead,\u201d Mr. Butler said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His wallet and phone were missing, but he still had his laptop, which had been buried under a pile of clothes. When he opened it and saw a torrent of fraud alerts, panic overcame him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One alert: $85,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum funds had been transferred from his Coinbase cryptocurrency wallet to an account, QUEENTX100. He said that a Google search of that name led him to a Facebook page for Ms. Colbert, whose photos he recognized. Other alerts showed an attempt to withdraw an additional $50,000 from his Chase bank account, and to make purchases totaling thousands of dollars at stores, including Walmart and Best Buy, using his credit cards, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He went to the authorities the next day. His case bounced between detectives before Ms. Colbert was arrested in 2023. Nearly three years after that night \u2014 after Mr. Butler gathered mountains of paperwork for investigators and credit card companies \u2014 a jury in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court convicted Ms. Colbert last October of several felonies. During the trial, a lawyer for Ms. Colbert argued that Mr. Butler had paid her the money for sex, which he denied. Judge Nandi F. Campbell ordered Ms. Colbert to pay $50,000 in restitution to Mr. Butler, but Ms. Colbert received a 10-year suspended sentence and probation instead of jail time, court records show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI told the judge, I told the D.A., that she was going to kill somebody,\u201d said Mr. Butler, who requested that other identifying information about him not be published, including where he lives and his occupation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Keith D. Lampkin, a spokesman for the Orleans Parish District Attorney\u2019s Office, said that the prosecutor\u2019s office filed a motion to revoke the sentence of probation Ms. Colbert received after learning of her recent arrest in Mr. Manzano\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representatives for Judge Campbell did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did the lawyer who represented Ms. Colbert in the earlier case or her current lawyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Daniel Lippmann, who represented Ms. Colbert in the two Las Vegas cases from 2022, said that the alleged victims in those cases had failed to show up in court for preliminary hearings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the months that followed his ordeal, Mr. Butler began to search online for clues about what had happened to him, and discovered other men sharing similar experiences on Reddit. He tracked them down and started a group text chain. They said they had something \u2014 rather, someone \u2014 in common: Ms. Colbert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There was Jason Egle, 50, a registered nurse who grew up near New Orleans, who had taken his nephew to a bar in the French Quarter to hear jazz in October 2021, he said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He had some beers and shots, nothing he couldn\u2019t handle, he said, but felt heavily impaired as he left the bar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t even walk,\u201d Mr. Egle said. \u201cI could barely see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Egle said that he had called an Uber, and a black Mustang pulled up almost immediately. \u201cShe was the driver,\u201d he said of Ms. Colbert. But there had been some confusion about whether he and his nephew had gotten into the right car, so, he said, Ms. Colbert asked to see his Uber app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is when Mr. Egle said he let his guard down and gave Ms. Colbert the code to unlock his phone, the same one for the password keychain for various apps, including those for his financial accounts. Not long after that, he said, Ms. Colbert told him that he had gotten into the wrong car and handed him back a phone \u2014 but it was not his. He did not immediately notice the switch because the battery was dead, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Egle said Ms. Colbert had gotten into his cryptocurrency account and withdrawn about $15,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Egle provided The New York Times a copy of an online police report that he said that he filed with the New Orleans Police Department in October 2021 and a brief email exchange with an F.B.I. special agent in New Orleans in April 2022. Neither law enforcement agency, he said, followed up with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The New Orleans Police Department did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for the F.B.I.\u2019s field office in New Orleans said that it was the bureau\u2019s policy to neither confirm nor deny that it was conducting an investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Colbert never had a driver account on Uber, said Sarah Casasnovas, a spokeswoman for the ride-share app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Around the time of Mr. Egle\u2019s alleged encounter with Ms. Colbert, Eric Maul, 32, who works in technology sales and lives in Los Angeles, said he had had a lot to drink in the French Quarter and called an Uber. A black Mustang pulled up, with Ms. Colbert driving, he said. About 10 minutes later, he said, she told him that her Uber app was not working and asked for his phone, which he unlocked and gave to her. She gave him a dead phone back, which he said led to an argument and prompted him to end the ride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEverything was already gone by the time I woke up,\u201d said Mr. Maul, who learned that about $10,000 was missing from his accounts and that several loan applications had been filled out in his name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He kept calling his phone, and about 24 hours later, someone picked up: It was Mr. Egle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDid she just rob you blind?\u201d he asked Mr. Maul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In conversations with the men and in their group chat, where they had commiserated and compared notes for many months, there was hope that others would not be victimized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSomebody shouldn\u2019t have to die,\u201d Mr. Egle said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
