Celeste Rivas-Hernandez: A Body in D4VD's Tesla Trunk and a Case Stuck in Limbo

from FBI Unscripted | Real Agents On Real Crime · host True Crime Today

In the case of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, nothing is simple — not the timeline, not the condition of the remains, and certainly not the path forward for investigators. Celeste was missing for over a year before her decomposed, partially dismembered remains were found in the front trunk of a Tesla tied to public figure D4vd.Early reporting suggested freezing; LAPD later clarified the body was not frozen when discovered, leaving open the possibility of prior storage. The autopsy is under a full security hold. A grand jury is reviewing evidence behind closed doors. Multiple people have lawyered up — and still, no arrest.Tonight we break down why “a body in your car” is NOT automatically probable cause for homicide, how decomposition complicates cause-of-death findings, why digital forensics from Tesla telemetry can take time, and what investigators actually need before charges can land.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through the forensic obstacles, the legal tightropes, and the hard truth: this case may hinge on a timeline investigators are still trying to piece together.#CelesteRivasHernandez #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeNews #Investigation #JenniferCoffindaffer #CrimeUpdate #TeslaCase #MissingPersons #TrueCrimeCommunityWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspodInstagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspodX Twitter https://x.com/tonybpodListen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
