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

[Chimera]

"Kidnapping" is just a euphemism for abducting a child. A child will not understand they are being lured away into a dangerous situation. Children cannot consent to "relationships" with adults. The victim's mother reported her as missing numerous times, which further emphasizes my point that the mother did not allow or consent for her child to go with this man. You can be abducted without force if you are groomed by your adult abuser.

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.

Hollywood Hills home where D4vd has stayed is searched after body found in singer's Tesla: Sources

The search comes after the discovery of a teenage girl's body in a Tesla registered to the singer.

“On April 5, 2024, at 9:47 p.m., deputies were dispatched to (a street in) Lake Elsinore regarding the report of a runaway,” Lt. Deirdre Vickers with the Riverside Sheriff’s Department said in a news release. “Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the reporting party who advised the female juvenile had left the location in an unknown direction.
Eyewitness News has learned she ran away a few times before and returned before her last disappearance..."

Question : Since she was initially reported as a runaway -- was this the first and only time ?

Sounds like she was either a runaway before she vanished or was leaving to be with David.
The red bolded is important, imo.
There's a distinction between running away and leaving in a car with someone known to the family.
The video I linked earlier seems to indicate the brother and maybe her mother knew she was seeing someone.
Does not mean they consented !

But after the first time being gone with David, did they call the cops and is there a record of them doing that ?
Omo.

This is definitely disturbing. RIP Celeste.

It sounds like they started chatting when he was 17 and she was 11. She looks fairly mature for her age. I wonder if she claimed she was a different age? When they initially started chatting? 14 year old and 17 years old, or 15 year old and 17 year old is not unheard of. Yes, the older boy was grooming, but I really wonder if he'd have proceeded knowing she was 11 or 12?

Perhaps they had an encounter after some time, then she revealed her age. Hence, she went "missing". Urged to hide out until of age. I mean neither of them had fully formed prefrontal cortexes, so really bad decision making is to be expected.

I know there is mention of graphic songs that specifically reference her. Keep in mind, that type of song sells. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Toppers, Van Halen, and more all have questionable songs and lyrics. Other songs specifically naming a female My Sharona, Billy Jean, Maggie May, Roxanne, Come on Eileen. Many are composites or multiple women, but songs like that do sell and are suggestive.

Wondering if his relationship was interfering with others perceived abilities to explode his career, and perhaps those others around him eliminated what they felt to be holding him back? Just seems super strange he would set himself up in a way to clearly get caught. Bizarre.

I do NOT and will NEVER condone grooming of children, exploitation of children, or abuse of children. EVER. Just looking at various angles of this horrible and tragic situation.

D4vd seen in intimate photo with 13-year-old girl found in his Tesla

The image depicted D4vd and the deceased teen, Celeste Rivas, sitting together in a green booth at a venue, as a picture flash can be seen in a mirror in the background.

www.dailymail.co.uk

At one point during the stream, Rivas was encouraging D4vd to answer a question from a viewer.

D4vd purportedly reposted a TikTok clip showing a man chopping up lunchmeat, suggesting that was the proper way to deal with a love interest who was 'talking to other' people.

Good that LE have seized computer, etc., from David's house.
Wonder if he's let LE have his phone and any other personal devices he'd take with him on tour -- or if LE have to get a search warrant ?

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?’ ''

She does not look mature for her age. All of this is speculation. What you are describing, kids lying about their ages, it does and can happen, but that is the more complicated possibility. A simpler possibility is that he was an older kid then adult preying on a child. Keep in mind this man is at least five years older than her, so your math does not make sense. You're actually discussing an 11 year old and a 16 year old, and no, that is absolutely not normal. That is a gap of 5 years, not 1-2 years.

Almost all news coverage I can find refers to the child victim as a missing person. This suggests that her family reported her missing. Various news outlets have reported that CRH has been missing since last year.

• "Photographs and videos circulating on social media allegedly show Celeste and D4vd together in casual settings, and evidence places D4vd near Celeste’s home in Lake Elsinore shortly before her disappearance.
• The alleged brother revealed alleged details of her relationship with D4vd and claimed warnings to law enforcement about potential danger were not heeded. Reports indicate that Celeste was very young when interacting with D4vd, with evidence of an alleged romantic relationship starting when she was only 11 years old.''

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.

This is what I’m stuck on.. it sounds as though they’d had some kind of relationship for an extended period and he has the same tattoo. Surely when police released the details they had already been in contact with him so I can’t understand how it would then take so long to identify her. I’d imagine that the first question they’d ask would be if he knew of anyone who fit the description they had.

Obviously there are a ton of possibilities as to how she ended up in the car, but I’m struggling with the length of time between the discovery to ID if he knew her. Until now I’d just assumed it would have been the body of someone random i.e. not connected to him at all. I really can’t fathom not being horrified and breaking down at the idea of someone close to you being found dismembered in your car.

how do you know he wasn't horrified and breaking down?

That quote is intense. But also it may or may not be in total context. It could also be a bizarre sense of humor. I mean, I am Gen X, and if I ever get investigated for anything, they will be like OMG, that inappropriate dark comment LucyOso made in 2023, is Lucy's a psychopath. LOL LOL

It is interesting he was homeschooled. Some, not all, homeschooled kids can be a bit delayed in socialization skills, the ways of the world, and maturity. But also there is artistic license and sense of performance when promoting ones self as well. Music is like poetry and poetry can be very dramatic too.

Bbm.
Snipped for focus.
I had wondered the same.
Agreed she looked mature for her age and definitely older than 12 or 13 years old.

No blame to Celeste, as she was a young teen who looked older and was tall for her age.
In one photo, the first one I'll post, she appears taller than David, although since they're sitting down it's difficult to tell.
Or David is a really small dude ?

I am going to reference him by his real name, not his stage name.

Below are some pics and links for them :

BINGO! We don't know, now do we? And we also know in this day and age that all people respond to trauma in individual ways. Appreciate your down to earth comment!

 

[MichiganTrueCrimer]

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I'd be careful claiming anything as true without a reliable source posting it.

We do not know if they've ever had any sort of a relationship, if they've taken pictures together, or if they've even spoken to each other.

Literally all that we know is that Celeste was found in a car registered to D4vd, and that a residence that he had stayed at, has been searched.

I understand sloothing and speculation, but I'd be careful about posting those things as "truth".

 

[Chimera]

Edit: Meant to link this article.

From the link I shared which I can share again, they reported her missing when she didn't return after leaving with David to go see a movie.
I am curious if they (her family) went to his house first, looking for her ?

Celeste Rivas’s family told NBCLA that the 15-year-old knew the singer D4vd. Alex Rozier reports for the NBC4 News at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025.

This is not at all a good look for David.
He was the last one to see Celeste alive.
Imo.

I appreciate your comment. This is perfectly objective. Yes, they chatted on discord, but lots of people do that. People do take occasional pictures with celebrities as well. It does not mean it is more than a picture with a celebrity. Obviously LE is investigating if there is more for sure.

 

[LucyOso]

To be clear to everyone, I do want to say this child is a victim of whatever occurred. This is horrific. I do NOT and will NEVER condone grooming of children, exploitation of children, or abuse of children. EVER. Just looking at various angles of this horrible and tragic situation and trying to find an objective middle.

We don't even know that, do we?

I could be wrong, but isn’t the only evidence that David had spoken to someone with the username of Celeste?

I'm truly not trying to argue, there's just very little verified information available.

Yes agreed of course.
We can post and comment if it's mainstream media articles.
Some speculation is allowed, and we all want to believe the best about David, but it doesn't sit well with me that she was found in his car.
From the Youtube NBCLA I just shared, the brother says Celeste knew David and was seeing him.
Does not mean a relationship, but maybe just a friendship ?
Imo.

 

[LucyOso]

I am wondering if she was simply left at his residence when/if he had to travel somewhere out of state/country for an engagement. Maybe with an "allowance". The whole thing is so sordid and ugly.

That is a good thought. If there was a relationship. Also wondering if there were other people "groupies" or whatever they call them these days that perceived her to be limiting his rise to fame, limiting him, or stunting the celebrity persona he was trying to cultivate.
