This story hits close to home, as I conducted the Georgia portion of an investigation into the death of Shawn Arthur in Metairie LA. Shawn had an es**rt come to his apartment, she drugged his drink with a homemade concoction, stole his wallet, credit cards, money, jewelry, and his truck - Shawn overdosed on that medley of drugs and died as he slept. Dominque Berry, the pr******te, and Randy Schenck, her pimp, were later arrested - but not for Shawn's death. The Jefferson Parrish completely botched this death investigation, even after I obtained a full confession during a jail interview here in Georgia. They caused his death, but Jefferson Parish authorities would not charge them with homicide. A young man's family grieves and fights for justice every day.
On the surface, the death of this young reporter looks eerily similar to the death of Shawn Arthur. New Orleans may be all fun to some, but to many it's nothing but a cesspool of drugs, prostitution, robbery, and homicide - these predators drool over the big parties and events that book their venue. It's the opportunity of the year to bankroll a tourist - and for some, they unknowingly leave New Orleans in a body bag.
This story is even more sad as this young man lost his wife in a car crash last April, leaving behind a 15 month old daughter. Now this little girl is an orphan. I hope Adan Manzano's family gets the justice the Arthur family did not.
