D4VD BOMBSHELL: MISSING CELESTE,13, DECOMPOSED AND DISMEMBERED IN MUSIC STAR'S TESLA

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing from her family home in Lake Elsinore, 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Celeste, at 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 120 pounds, is reported last seen wearing a black shirt, gray pants, and Hello Kitty sandals. And according to close sources and family members, she has a boyfriend named "David." Celeste, just entering her teen years, becomes friends with singer D4vd on social media and runs away to Hollywood to see the rising star. Celeste is returned home to Lake Elsinore by the police. Celeste remains in school for a month, then in May, "D4vd" (David Anthony Burke) picks Celeste up in a Tesla to go to the movies, and she never returns home. Residents in the Hollywood Hills grow tired of a dusty, 2023 Tesla Model Y with a Texas plate parked on the street for a month and report the vehicle. Days later, employees at Hollywood Tow notice a foul odor coming from the Tesla and call the police. When officers arrive, they discover human remains wrapped in plastic, placed in a bag, and hidden in the frunk of the Tesla. Police identify the person/victim as female, 5 feet 2, weighing 71 pounds, with wavy black hair, wearing a tube top and black leggings. Reports later state the remains are severely decomposed, partially dismembered, and identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the child who was reported missing more than a year ago. Authorities report the Tesla is owned by singer/songwriter D4vd, who is reported to be living in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood near where the Tesla was abandoned.
