D4VD Jail VIP, 1-Word Post After Celeste's Murder: “Decay”

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Roughly seven days Celeste Rivas was killed, according to prosecutors, D4vd posted a single word to social media, "decay."   It's sparked social commentary as many are linking it back to Celeste's death at the hands of David Anthony Burke.  No official court source has identified the tweet as evidence, and so far authorities have not connected it to the case.  During Burke's  preliminary hearing, prosecutors revealed the last text messages between D4vd  and Celeste the day before prosecutors say he dismembered the teen.  Prosecutors allege Burke fatally stabbed her, after an argument over another woman. Rivas reportedly said she would “end your career and your life” and threatened to “leak all of the s–t” if she saw him with her. According to the state, Celeste was killed the next day.     D4vd has pleaded not guilty to charges including first‑degree murder, continual sexual abuse of a child under 14, and mutilation of human remains.    Joining Nancy Grace Tonight: Eric Faddis -   Founder of The Law Offices of Eric Faddis,  former felony prosecutor and current criminal defense and civil litigation attorney; website: EricFaddisLaw.com Dr. Cheryl Arutt - Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist specializing in Trauma Recovery, PTSD and EMDR,  website: askdrcheryl.com,  website: CreativeEMDR.com , IG: @askdrcheryl Steve Fischer  - Missing Persons Private Investigator, Search & Rescue Specialist, Owner of Search Investigations, www.searchinvestigations.org, Twitter: @SF_Investigates Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", YouTube Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", @JoScottForensic Annie Elise - Host of the true crime podcast "SERIALously," website: annieelise.com  Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
