Well hellloooo SERIAL INTENT!! Your first post, congrats....Do you always make a big impression when you enter the room?
Israel Keyes basically said no one knew who he really was. D4VD made a "fictional character/avatar" that was his evil alter ego.
I began going down the psyche rabbit hole of "avatars/pics/animated characters" troubled people pick to represent themselves to others in the gaming world/realm. As my brother used to say, "Who-dah-knowed-it?" It was pretty high brow clinical stuff but in a nutshell it is called The Proteus Effect:
The Proteus effect is a psychological phenomenon where individuals alter their behaviors and attitudes to align with the characteristics of their virtual avatars, leading to changes that can extend to real-world interactions.
Hmmm, quiet game player...who actually want to be a pro. Lived his life through the characters. Loved it so much he wrote music for it in a closet.... amazing. His music gets picked up on the internet, goes viral because of gaming....catches the attention of "music talent hunters" looking for their soon-to-be-curated star. Well, ya'll know the rest of the story. Sometimes red flags, are just red flags ...right???

Phenomenally said, I love your perspective!

one word, decomp

That's only 1/2 a word.

As far as I know, we don't know -- correct me if I'm wrong --

• if the Tesla was his favorite or primary car
• how many cars he had
• how many dedicated parking spaces are attached to the address
• how many other people felt entitled to park a car at the house on a regular basis

Has he been successful long enough to afford more than one car?

I wonder what the purpose of this is? Wouldn't you just leave it until the investigation is over? Not a good look... lots going on behind the scenes. I just wish we could get a statement... from anybody!!

He's most likely headed to his parents' home.

Interesting… you know, I stated earlier that I couldn’t foresee an event where his manager is complicit, but think about it, if he was actually living there like the landlord is saying, Josh must have seen or known about Celeste. There’s got to be a connection there, wouldn’t that be something if she was in the background of a photo on his IG or something like that, unbeknownst to him. Also, super convenient that the landlord does not have access to the footage. Keep searching!

This is probably nothing, but after someone upthread posted the link to the apartments.com listing for the rental house (here), I put the address in google maps, and then clicked street view.

I chose a random location near the property... its dated as May 2024 - and what do I see there? A blue Tesla parked on that street! Is it possible this is the blue Tesla in this case?

If so, I guess its just a sign of our times that it happened to be caught on Google maps. It could very easily belong to someone else too though.

I'm new here, my question is she's ran away multiple times, why? I read she always argued with her mother. Where are the parents, they are not showing them much. There is no way a trunk of a Tesla can be open without a camera coming on. To many on that car not to see someone.

Welcome, temamh!

Don’t know if I’m allowed to cite info from TMZ, but they are reporting she came from a ‘troubled home’ and often ran away. If true, children in these situations are often the targets of pedophiles/traffickers. Not saying that’s exactly what happened here- I don’t know. I feel so bad for this young girl. As others have mentioned, she is always wearing the same clothes in pics/videos. Interesting, it doesn’t appear he was buying her stuff- clothes, shoes, what not. Seems no one was looking out for her. I wonder why an arrest hasn’t been made yet. It would seem there would be enough evidence for an arrest warrant by now- they’ve searched the house, the car had cameras. It was also reported by TMZ her remains have been released to the family. RIP sweet girl

I have wondered about the "movements" of the Tesla. I don't know what the parking situation is like at the house D4vd was renting/living in, so maybe someone else here can provide more information. I would think that if he was the primary person renting/living in the home he would have had the "best" parking spot on site (if there was one). So why was the Tesla seen parked at different locations in the neighborhood? Was he the one not parking right at the house or was the Tesla being used by one of his associates? If it was being driven/parked by D4vd, did he not park directly at the house because he wanted to keep his address private - either from fans or possibly from Celeste's family? Or did he know that Celeste's body was decaying in the car and moved (or had it moved) so it wouldn't be considered abandoned and towed AND while essentially "distancing" it from himself and his home?

I just can't imagine if the car was being moved around with her body in it, what it would be like to be the person that drew the short straw and had to do this. Years ago we were in the LA area for a wedding and we took my daughter to Disneyland for the Princess Breakfast. She got carsick on the way to Disney and threw up in the back of the rented minivan. We did our best to clean up before going into the park for the breakfast but it was hard since we didn't really have anything to really clean it up good. After a long day sitting in the hot CA sun (end of August!) I can only say that I was super happy to be the only driver on the rental agreement so that I had a seat as far away from the back as possible. Knowing how bad this was - and it was only a toddler's vomit in the sun for several hours - I can't even begin to imagine having to get in a car with poor Celeste's decomposing body having been in the heat for likely at least several days.

With a Tesla being a self driven car all they had to do from the app is move the car. As far as cameras around the car, the camera can be disabled or if they have a USB in the glove compartment, data can be retieved that way.
My husband works for Tesla I go the information from him.

I am expecting an arrest, but I'm not expecting it soon unless there is some bombshell we don't know about. It's going to take time to analyze phone data, vehicle data, for forensic analysis, and to interview countless witnesses. Theoretically, there are probably multiple people inside the circle who could have been involved to some extent.

Another complication may be cause of death, which could potentially be something other than homicide (drug overdose/body dump, which we've seen a lot on here).

I posted it as a reply to the post that included the music video to his song called Romantic Homicide. Maybe the video has since been removed?

Sure I can try to track that down. Also copyright might have caused it to be taken down
