D4VD: Romantic Homicide? (pt.1)

from Blind Judgment Hosted by MookiePods

Note: We recorded this prior to the release of all court documents. A follow up episode is coming very soon. A dismembered body. A rising music star. And a car no one was supposed to open. After a year away, we're back with one of the most shocking cases of 2025: the arrest of D4VD (David Burke), the Gen Z emo pop artist with 22 million monthly Spotify listeners, following the discovery of a dismembered corpse in the trunk of his impounded car. The victim: Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a missing 14-year-old girl. In this episode, we break down David's rise from homeschooling and Fortnite streams to viral Alvin and the Chipmunk remixes, a record deal with Interscope, and sold-out tours opening for SZA. We also dig into the alter ego, the coffin, and the manga villain named Itami (details that hit very differently now). This is Part 1. The case is still developing. More episodes coming as it unfolds. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses the murder of a minor. 🎙️ Subscribe so you don't miss Part 2 — the theories get wild.
