Roseville, Calif.- Detectives from Roseville’s Vice and Narcotics Enforcement Team (VNET) are investigating regional sales of a synthetic narcotic drug similar to GHB, better known as the “date-rape drug”.
GHB and its analogs (meaning chemically similar concoctions that produce the same effects) are often implicated in sexual assaults, DUIs and overdose cases. VNET detectives had long heard rumors about a house in Rancho Cordova being a major source of GHB in Roseville and the rest of the Sacramento metropolitan area.

On December 9, Roseville officers served a search warrant at the home in Rancho Cordova. The house had a fortified security door and was protected with numerous surveillance cameras. Inside the house, officers found a large quanity of a GHB substitute drug disguised as, and sold under the guise of a massage oil. They also found more than $20,000 in cash, firearms, methamphetamine packaged for sale, and other evidence of illegal drug trafficking. Detectives later seized more large quantities of the drug at another related location.
Michael Manoff, age 74, Corrina Day, age 42, and David Culfa, age 40, all of Rancho Cordova, were arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs for sale and other related charges, and booked at the Sacramento County Jail.
Roseville’s Crime Suppression Unit and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations assisted Roseville’s VNET with the operation.
