Celeste's Fingers Were Removed Because Of THIS

Celeste Rivas Hernandez's fingers were removed because of this, according to a detail buried in a prosecution court brief that hasn't gotten the attention it should. We start there and work backward through everything else that came out at the d4vd preliminary hearing. A call left David Burke's phone at 12:04 in the morning, from a remote road in Santa Barbara County, to Celeste's number, hours after prosecutors say she had already died. Nobody answered. An LAPD criminalist testified about Bluestar reactions across a garage floor, rubber mats, the bricks beneath them, a rowing machine, a tarp, a charging cord, and a bag of wipes, all presumptive positive. The defense got that same witness to concede she can't call any of it definitively blood, and pointed to two chainsaws never swabbed for DNA. Then the hearing's final session, the one prosecutors built their case around. A medical examiner testified Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds and had been dead for weeks before her remains were found. A detective walked the court through her phone, messages dating to when she was eleven, close to fifty images labeled illegal material involving a minor, and texts from January 2024 showing she was thirteen and pregnant. Her mother cried through the testimony. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every count against him. A bindover ruling is expected soon, and we go through what the evidence actually supports before that decision comes down. None of it is decided yet. That call belongs to a judge, not to this podcast. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
