CA- Body (IDd as Celeste Rivas Hernandez) found in vehicle at Hollywood tow yard, abandoned Tesla registered to singer D4vd – 8 September 2025 #2

[iamshadow21]

JMO, maybe they both went out there alive, something happened, and instead of leaving her there, or calling 911, or driving to an emergency room, he took her home. Panic, or no cell service, or not wanting to be implicated, or whatever irrational crisis reaction. He put her in the frunk because he couldn't face driving sitting next to a body, or he was afraid someone would see it on the way. Maybe he told himself he'd deal with it back in town, or in the morning. But he put it off, and it wouldn't take very long for the problem to be seemingly insurmountable. An accident (possible, benefit of the doubt here) immediately reported is one thing, a decomposing body that you removed from the scene is quite another. JMO.

And the dismemberment?

 

[marloweclover]

I'm not convinced as to whether real purposeful dismemberment occurred or whether the conditions and time lapse created the appearance of such. JMO.

I can't think of any way that dismemberment could be an accident. Limbs don't just fall off.

Not to get too graphic.

Given the right conditions (advanced decomposition, body confined in a position that puts a level of stress on the joints) a body can naturally disarticulate as the ligaments and connective tissues holding bones together degrade.

The tow truck tilting/shaking/jostling of the car as they put it on and off the bed, combined with any movement by the attending officers when they unwrapping her to check the smell, might have been enough disturbance to seperate her limbs. If she had been in there long enough to be already held together with very little

The telling thing would be if there was evidence of tool marks on the bones. Or if the body parts were bundled in some way that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

MOO

Oh I agree the coroner will definitely be able to tell whether or not she was mechanically dismembered.

Either way, considering the location, any first responder finding a body in pieces is going to reasonably assume the perpetrator cut her up. So that's the macabre little detail that would get passed around.

The fact that detail has yet to be confirmed by the police despite it being found in the earliest reporting makes me think it might be in question. May be wrong though.

It's the kind of thing I would expect to hear once someone is actually charged, say, in a PCA, or even later, like at trial. We didn't learn how Abby and Libby were killed until the leaks. Their cause of death was closely guarded. And with the Idaho College killings, we knew early on that it was with a knife, that it was a slaughterhouse of a scene, but we didn't know the extent of the injuries until the document dump after the perpetrator pleaded guilty. I can think of other cases where a detail like dismemberment or injuries inflicted didn't come out until trial, and it was a shock, because we thought we knew a lot from the news articles. The extent and variety of violence inflicted on Gannon was, for example, deeply distressing, even for those who had followed the case from the beginning. None of us knew or suspected until it was all laid out at trial.

I suspect we will learn she was dismembered from an official source, but I doubt it will be soon.

MOO

New Tracking Evidence Emerges in Celeste Rivas Hernandez Case

TMZ reports LAPD tracking data placed D4vd in a remote Santa Barbara area tied to the Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation.

Maybe this "new" tracking device was downloaded from his Tesla....

Was this already posted the PI saying there is footage of the driver who moved the car in July ?

Fischer has also been poring over hours of surveillance footage to piece together a timeline around the black Tesla’s final movements - and to determine when Rivas may have died.

He told the Daily Mail the footage shows the car - which was dented and covered in mud - was last moved on July 29 and clearly shows the face of the driver, whom he has since identified but declines to name.

The vehicle was parked at the cross streets of Doheny Place and Blue Bird Avenue, where it was later towed in early September.

Fischer said that Burke was in LA at the time the car was moved. He departed later the same day for his Withered World Tour.

He added that the footage - combined with evidence found at the house - has led him to believe the singer had a tight-knit entourage of trusted associates.

‘There was a small inner circle - two, three, maybe four people - who... appeared to be living at the house and were very close with David,' said Fischer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Not just on the bones, but unless the remains were completely skeletonized, it would be obvious on the soft tissue. No Hollywood plastic surgeon could pull off a dismemberment with that precision.

If we're talking about just dismemberment and possibly decapitation, it would have to be perfect, locally-concentrated conditions that only allowed the joints to disintegrate at the hips, shoulders, and neck. Otherwise, LE wouldn't have said dismemberment, they would've said... errrrr... something else.

David indicated around Valentine's day that he was single. That likely meant that he and Celeste were broken up. Was she dead by then? His night trip to the desolate area reportedly took place in the spring, which would be later than that.

 

[Telltale]

The big question is where was she living at all during that time?

She wasn't back home.

The last photo known of her according to the PI is January 2nd (not the photo of her he's released, I wonder why?)

The second home D4vd (allegedly) stashed her at through 2024 was put back on the market at the beginning of March 2025. The landlord needed at minimum a week or two to reset it for new tenant. So D4vd must have been out by February latest. It would be kind of pushing it to characterise mid February as 'spring.'

So there appears to be some period of time (weeks to months) that we don't know where she was living or who she was staying with.

Maybe with D4vd, but nobody, including the PI, claims to have evidence of her inside the main house on Vireo Dr. He through a lot of parties and had people over a lot. But nobody has found her in a background picture oor said she was there.

If she was crashing with some other friend, it doesn't seem like that friend they raised the alarm or contacted her parents when she vanished.

She is very young to try live truly independently, and she doesn't strike be as that kind of street-wise. If it was in a hotel or some other D4vd rental we have no evidence of it (as far as I know.)

So where was she?

LEO has not officially called it a dismemberment. It's unnamed police sources of unknown proximity to the investigation being quoted by the press. We don't know if these sources are directly investigating the case or if it's someone passing on police station rumours.

I agree you would see evidence of it. But decomposition can hide a lot at first look. Plus, a beat officer coming across her isn't going to do much more than take a look, take stock and, promptly call in forensics/detectives/brass. Then they're probably sitting on the cordon.

Bumping indicolite22’s post that the second link is an article with quotes from a neighbor in HH who saw DAB and Celeste together regularly “all the time”. He recognized Celeste’s photo in the news reports. Says they were quiet not partiers. CR hid her face somewhat in some photos with DAB so maybe she was camera shy since she was a very underage runaway and was not part of the parties with the others for that reason.

Probably any anything of Celeste’s left in the house after the murder was thrown in the trash to make it look like from a visual inspection she was never there.

According to a PI, a family member last texted with CR in early July, but that info is now called into question by the same PI. Apparently it's hard to find confirmation that she was still alive at any time in 2025.

OTOH, CR's school friends claim that she stopped responding to their messages in late July to early August 2025. Additionally, David's neighbor stated that he saw him and CR together regularly (near David's home) until a couple months ago.

Singer D4vd considered suspect in investigation of teen found dead in his Tesla: Sources

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing last year, investigators confirmed to ABC News.

abcnews.go.com

Wow, now this is changing my perspective. It’s good to hear that the police have talked to several individuals that they believe may also be involved in the case since they suspect more than one person is involved.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but if D4vd is the perp I wonder if he expected one of his friends or guests still staying at the house to remove Celeste’s remains from the car and hide them in another location for him while he was away on tour?

Also I know LE told ABC they believe that unfortunately CR has been dead for several weeks before her what were her remains were discovered. However, if she actually passed sometime in Spring 2025 or close to the time D4vd took his trip to Santa Barbara then I wonder what his and the other perps involved plan was? Were they really just going to leave her remains in the trunk of a car for months? The same car that they park on a public street in a residential area? Weren’t they worried about the remains decomposing and emitting an odor that would be detectable by neighbors? Or if they planned to get away with it that they would likely still have to get rid of the car, even if they removed CR’s remains from it, since it would likely have forensic evidence that would tie them to the crime? On the bright side, however, this lack of thinking or foresight, IMO, on the part on the perps may only both aid LE as they continue their investigation and get justice for CR.

I think (MOO) Mr. Burk isn't a criminal mastermind and he thought this girl wouldn't be missed. He likely also isn't a hardened criminal with lots of experience, he was likely a little panicked. He had, in his mind, all the time in the world to figure out what to do. In fact no one did miss her, so he was right, but what he didn't understand is the extent to which he could be tracked. I seriously doubt he read the Tesla manual cover to cover for example. It will take time but he will be arrested IMOO.

It's also around the time he got multiple facial piercings and increasingly wilder hair.

But coroners can surely tell decapitation/severing based upon sharp edges a la guillotine from exactly this kind of organic separation, yes?
