Bbm.
Agreed 100 % about children cannot consent.

Not so sure about that (the bolded) because the reporter who spoke to her brother said that he (the brother) said the family was aware of Celeste seeing this man.
For how long were they aware ?
It's important, in my opinion, because if it was ongoing, I have a problem with that.
Red flags and all that.

Missing girl, 15, identified as dismembered body found in D4vd's Tesla

The dismembered remains found in singer D4vd's Tesla have been identified in a bombshell new development.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Celeste's mother said she believed her daughter matched the description police had provided, and that she had had a boyfriend named David.

From this snipped portion I think it's possible that even if no consent was given by the mother which we do not know, this relationship may have been allowed to go on for too long ?
Still so many unanswered questions.
Imo.

Red flags? This case has more red flags than an air traffic controller! ; ) lol

And I have a really hard time believing he will be allowed to leave the US for his EU shows. He only stopped performing when she was identified, I'm guessing he was told to stay put in LA by LE and his team.

Yeah, whatever happens next I think it's pretty safe to assume that the tour is over

 

[PatLaurel]

It may have just been him yelling about it because he’s upset not only that it happened but also that it was some open secret and no one seemed to care but to me he seemed too excited to show off to his students and talk about it.

The teacher knew and didn't do anything about it? Hmm...

d4vd is looking for the next d4vd

After building a persistently viral music career by living vicariously through people online, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter is inspiring the next generation of gamers with ‘Mic Drop’, a music competition inside Fortnite

www.dazeddigital.com

''Your latest album, Withered, explores grief, loss, love and confusion. What inspired the album?

d4vd: The album was basically the last three years of my life. It’s me being vulnerable for the first time. I feel like I’ve never put my own life into music until this album, and it’s hard for me to get used to writing in first person instead of taking a concept and doing what I do best. That’s why it took so long to make this album, because I was getting over the mental hurdle of, ‘OK, this is real now and I’m gaining and losing friends, I’m dealing with love for the first time and how do I navigate this as a homeschool kid who’s never seen the outside world beyond like his backyard?’ ''

Is there a chance that by being home schooled, he was pretty immature for his age and he felt more comfortable talking to an 11yo? No, no, I do not and would absolutely NEVER condone any of this at all. It just seems like he really did care about her?!? If I missed the mark completely, by all means my webslueth friends let me have.

 

[scapa]

Why is a teacher telling his students this? If he’s already told police this, he’s done his job and needs to shut up.

Agree. Very odd.

Does he perhaps see it as a "teachable moment?"

A performable moment?

Do not want to see/ hear this teacher on a TC podcast anytime soon -- but that may the direction of travel.

Ach.

Emphasis mine.
That alone does not make him look more innocent !
Somewhat hinky or at least evasive ?
Like, he had zero ideas who that could be in his car ?

Occam's Razor says he did it , or at the very least, knew exactly what happened to poor Celeste.

I am interested in knowing when their (David and the victim's) texts/calls/emails or other communication stopped.
Imo.

Yeah, not at all. I was trying to say that he kept performing until his team or LE said "no more, buddy". I bet he would kept going if he wasn't told to stop. My 2 cents.

 

[IQuestion]

Why is a teacher telling his students this? If he’s already told police this, he’s done his job and needs to shut up.

Maybe to warn the young students in his classes the dangers of meeting up with people they met on the internet? I don't know his reasoning?? But in this case, I can't find fault with him. Heck, if he can influence even one student in his class not to fall victim to an internet predator....good for him! (On the other hand...who is taping him in a classroom?. Are students allowed to video with phones in class? IDK.)

 

[TalkToTofana]

I am going to respectfully agree to disagree here and a lot of webslueths is speculation to figure out things. That what sleuthing is LOL.

She does indeed look mature enough for her age. I am not talking Jessica Rabbit, I am literally (as a parent with adult children), noting that she looks like a teenager not a child. When they started chatting online, there was technology to make people appear older. As a parent of adult children, this same thing occurred with my daughter and friends, they were 12, told a guy they were 16, he was 19. These conversations went on for some time. They never met because I discovered it and after a conversation with me, he vanished. It was horrifying. He literally had no idea. To do the math, the age gap was 3 years in HIS eyes and literally 7 years in REALITY. In my speculative example, I did indeed math correctly initially even though I am not the mathiest of mathers.

So, since this guy has been cooperating and not arrested, there is a possibility he literally didn't initially go out seeking to entice a child. We can also agree to disagree on that too.

Maybe we are having a misunderstanding. When I say she "looks like a child" I am stating that she looks like her age. Teenagers are minors, and therefore, children. Technically teenagers are adolescents, but colloquially we generally understand the term "child" to refer to someone under the age of 18 years old. She has never looked like an adult. She does not even look like she was wearing make up in photos. She could not pass for an adult. She was unmistakably a minor.

I am so sorry that happened to your kid. You are an excellent parent for protecting your child. It is great that you intervened as soon as you discovered what was happening. My point is that it is more common for children to be groomed by predators then for kids to lie about their age. Children are usually preyed on by someone that knows them already.

I agree with your (very good) point on speculating!

ELI9 Thank you for the info.... I was wondering when "the-powers-that-be" stepped in and (at the very least) could see the lack of sensitivity was not in their best interest?

 

[shetalksinstereo]

this case reminds me of the 14 year old california girl (alicia navarro) who ran away with that 30 year old to montana. they met on discord.

its believed D4vd met her on discord. we need to discuss the Discord chat app. it is the app of choice by pedophiles, groomers, and kidnappers. little to no real moderation.

As of a June 2023 investigation by NBC News, there had been at least 35 cases over the prior six years in which adults were prosecuted on charges of kidnapping, grooming, or sexual assault that allegedly involved communication on Discord.
Important details from the investigation:

• The investigation reviewed criminal complaints, news articles, and law enforcement communications.
• At least 22 of the 35 identified cases occurred during or after the COVID-19 pandemic.
• While the NBC report specified 35 total prosecutions for exploitation including kidnapping, grooming, and sexual assault, Sky News reported that dozens of these prosecutions specifically involved child abduction.
• April 2025 arrest of a California man accused of kidnapping a 10-year-year-old girl he met on Roblox and Discord.

Unfortunately, ANY social media platform could be used in these ways. I am a grandmother, and I am in 2 Discord groups: one is for vintage jewelry and the other a band that I like. Discord is not the perp. Sadly, perps will use any tool available

D4vd Cancels U.S. Tour Amid Investigation Into Dead Body in Car Registered to Him

D4vd has canceled his U.S. tour as the investigation intensifies around a dead body found in a car registered to the singer.

variety.com

***edited to add, haven't heard from European sources...............yet.

 

[tlcya]

Venues in San Francisco and Los Angeles announced the tour cancellations on Friday. The "Romantic Homicide" singer, 20, was on his Withered World Tour and was scheduled to perform Friday at The Warfield and Saturday at The Greek Theatre.

According to the singer's website, he was scheduled to perform overseas, but many of the shows have now also been canceled.
Singer D4vd cancels U.S. tour amid investigation into 15-year-old girl's death

 

[Smkd]

Yeah he’s supposed to be playing a sold out show here mid October, in a venue that is across the street from my work. The event is no longer showing up on their website, but no announcement about it being cancelled. Promoters are probably bidding their time and hoping that from now till October things will somehow clear up and they won’t have to refund over 1000 tickets at £30 each. I can’t imagine they’re very happy about this and don’t think they’ll be rushing to work with him again even if this all ends up being a huuuuge misunderstanding (which I doubt).

 

[IQuestion]

I did some more "rabbit hole digging" and wanted to ask/confirm from sources the "rental property on Doheny" was removed from advertising in July 2025 and the rent was lowered from 24K per month down to 19.9K per month. Had DAB just recently moved into the house? If so, it could explain why Celeste's family did not know the new place she was staying? (Question, statement, and thought). Anybody able to get a picture with the garage door open? Still trying to figure out if the vehicle was ever "garaged" there.
***Edited to add and this is really difficult to ask...but are there receipts in the car for "large heavy duty contractor bags" in the vehicle? It just seems as if so many of these horrible crimes end up having CCTV footage of the perp making an incriminating purchase at a big box store right around the time of death. Or, there is still a box of partially used bags in the garage. Maybe??

 

[IQuestion]

And on a personal gripe....She was only 14 years old when she was killed, if coroner's presumed time of death is mid-August. She will always be 14 years old...that will never change for me. Just because someone finds a 14 years old body 10 years later, the victim will still be 14 years old, not 24 years old. Right? (Her death could have been even earlier if the vehicle was garaged out of the sun and heat.)

 

[SteeleSeeker]

I don't have a Tesla, so I don't know the answer to these things, so can someone who knows Tesla's kindly help... It says the "Frunks" (I'm sorry that is a ridiculous word) are small, but it seems that is where the body was found albeit not in one piece. I mean it seems like they are really small?? Can someone tell me if a normal sized adult human would/could fit in one even if they were dismembered.

in my opinion absolutely not. It would be very hard to shove a freshly deceased body in a bag in a 2023 model Y Frunk even dismembered. her missing poster said she was about 120 lbs when she was last seen. The news reports are saying the body was 71 lbs. I think she had to have been put there sometime after decomp had began and she was was dismembered but they had enough of her parts to use her dental records to ID her and know that she was wearing leggings and a tube top.
