Crawfish lovers gearing up for a Super Bowl weekend boil can expect lower prices than anticipated. Following a historic snowstorm, supply has rebounded, driving prices down by more than a dollar per pound. Crawfish App Founder Laney King says live crawfish on average will run you $4.79 per pound.
Cut 6 (10) “…35-pound sack of crawfish.”
King says if you prefer to purchase boiled crawfish from your favorite spot, expect to pay around $7.10 a pound.
King says crawfish prices were almost doubled at this time last year.
Cut 7 (12) “…it’s super early”

Cut 8 (13) “…when it really counts.”

Kenner Police arrest a woman in connection with the death of a Kansas City TV reporter in town covering the Super Bowl. Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley says Danette Colbert was seen on surveillance video at a Comfort Suites hotel entering Adan Manzano’s room Wednesday morning.
Cut 12 (10) “…entering that room.”
Chief Conley says the credit card that Manzano used to check into the hotel was missing from his wallet. Investigators found it a short time later.
Cut 13 (10) “…inside that residence.”
Conley says Colbert is a career criminal who has done this type of thing before.

So far, Colbert is only charged in connection with having Manzano’s credit card. Depending on what Manzano’s autopsy reveals, those charges could be upgraded.
