Tesla
Additionally.. I'm really curious to see what data Tesla collected from these events, but, they should be able to get

• GPS routes & timestamps (timeline)
• Vehicle entry/exit logs (timeline)
• Sentry Mode video (if enabled, it records from cameras when motion is detected).
• Key fob / phone key access logs (to know whose device accessed the car, or if it was a key fob).
• Battery usage & charging station logs (timeline)

If Sentry Mode or Dashcam was running, there’s a high probability that video exists of:

• The individual(s) abandoning the Tesla,
• Person(s) near the trunk
• Any movement in/out of the car before it was towed.

Update, seems the body was "hacked up" and heavily decomposed.

That is gauze.

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.

I guess the $10,000 question is, who has access to his vehicles? With him on tour, probably wasn't him who abandoned it. Celebrities (even tho I've never heard of this one) tend to have handles, staff, yes men, house staff, etc. all around them. Who among those individuals had access to his Tesla? Or how many of those around him had access.

On September 8, 2025, human remains of a female were discovered in the trunk of a Tesla at Hollywood Tow, 1015 N. Mansfield Ave., Los Angeles, after employees reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills approximately five days earlier. The car was linked to Texas singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd. The remains, described as a head and torso inside a bag, showed severe decomposition, preventing the determination of age or ethnicity, but the Medical Examiner confirmed the gender as female. She was approximately 5'1" tall, weighed around 71 pounds, and was wearing a tube top, black leggings, yellow metal stud earrings, and a metal chain bracelet, with a tattoo on her right index finger reading “Shhh…”. The LAPD has classified the case as a death investigation.

 

[The4TierBridge]

The relevant ME case number is 2025-14252. She has been entered into the LA Medical Examiner Unidentified Person Search: https://me.lacounty.gov/unidentified-person-detail/?caseNumber=2025-14252

“The decedent was found severely decomposed inside a vehicle on 9/8/2025. She appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found. We are unable to determine her age or race/ethnicity. The decedent was wearing a tube top and black leggings (size small). She has wavy black hair. Jewelry includes yellow metal stud earring and w yellow metal chain bracelet.”

71 pounds? At that weight she could be pretty young. Moo

That would be the measured weight of recovered remains only (head and torso with arms and legs being missing). Same for height.

This crime may not take too long to solve. The Tesla has a key system linked to your phone. Even if they used the card-key, the system records all of that, date and time. GPS is recorded, in-cabin camera is recorded on board… as is the dashcam. There will be lots of data.

Thank you. I should have thought about that!

Any missing young women in the area? About to do a search myself. I wonder what an “extended period of time” means - are we talking days or weeks? moo

I'm thinking it was stolen from him?

He wasn't on tour daily though
