D4vd Named His Breakout Hit WHAT — Before Getting Charged With Murder?

D4vd case — David Burke made his name with a song title that now reads like something out of a prosecutor’s filing. His debut album, released two days after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed, has a name that lands differently after the charges. A 2025 music video depicts imagery that mirrors the prosecution’s allegations. This episode examines the art, the charges, and whether any of it matters at trial.It also examines a seven-month gap between the discovery of remains and the arrest. Three grand juries. A close friend who fled across the country to avoid testifying. Burke’s own parents who challenged subpoenas in a Texas court rather than answer questions about a child who visited their home.The DA filed first-degree murder with special circumstances: lying in wait, financial gain, murder of a witness. Illegal material involving minors found on his iCloud. Forty terabytes of evidence. The preliminary hearing begins July 21, 2026.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
