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.

I didn't see it as an argument. I thought that was a great way to recenter the conversation. There are a lot of big feelings when there are really bad outcomes with kids. And objectivity can get lost for sure!

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.

he’s 20 years old (born in march 2005), he was 6,5 years older than celeste. when they started talking online she was 11 and he was around 17.

something i came across - i don’t think it’s in msm, but you can look up the dates - is that he would release songs on her birthday (7th of september) every year. on her 12th birthday he released the song romantic homocide :(

i posted here before about wondering if she could have been pregnant, since that seems such a common reason for young girls to get killed. but reading more of his lyrics i get the idea he was obsessed with her, and maybe obsessed with (and romanticising) the idea of killing her too, way before he did it. and i know lyrics are not always meant to be taken literal, they might not be used as evidence in court, i could turn out to be completely wrong! it’s just my feeling at this point that it was some kind of obsession, maybe eventually the thing that pushed him was jealousy over something dumb, and that’s it.
He was born in 2005 and she was born in 2010. That is not 6.5 years apart. That is 5.5 years apart.

Thinking about that car and the garbage bags; not to mention the indignity of dismemberment.
What a sad and disgraceful way to treat her body.
It's sickening.
Celeste did nothing to deserve such a cruel fate.
I might have already said it before....but I'll repeat it:
Rest in peace, Celeste and fly with the angels.

Did she have a thread here? Looks very familiar

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.
Perhaps he's using it as a teachable real life "close to home" event about the dangers of social media?

No. And she was never entered in NamUs. There are no official MP reports/posters except for the ones her family posted on FB.

MOO JMO

This!

Teachable moment to warn younger students of the REAL WORLD DANGERS of social media. Hats off to him

''TMZ’s Charles Latibeaudiere told “Banfield” that police swooped on the house D4vd had been staying at Wednesday night in search of anything resembling “blood evidence.”

“They were checking drains to see if there’s any blood evidence or blood or tissue that was in the drains there,” he said. “So they did a scouring of this house, looking for any evidence.”

“We know that Tesla is his,” Latibeaudiere said. “The thing that’s still not clear is who was actually driving the Tesla when the body was placed in the car? Who parked it where it was eventually found and impounded? Those are the dots that still need to be connected here.”

“Several items of evidence were recovered and will be analyzed by detectives in the coming days,” an LAPD spokesperson tells PEOPLE. “Investigators are following up on several leads.”

''According to the science teacher, who spoke with the outlet, Rivas had run away in early 2024, a detail earlier confirmed by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

In that instance, the teacher said she made her way to Hollywood after meeting David Anthony Burke, a performer with millions of fans and followers who performs under the name D4vd, who she met on social media.

Police were able to track her down that time and return the then 13-year-old girl back to her mother in Lake Elsinore, the teacher claimed.

In video obtained by TMZ, the teacher, now at a different Southern California school, can be seen and heard sharing many of these details with his current students, even showing them a picture of himself and Rivas in front of a poster that he still has in his classroom and saying she’d “been missing since I taught her.”

''Rivas’ alleged former teacher told TMZ that the teen was often absent from school and that he knew nothing of her home life. In relating to his new students what he knew of Rivas and the case, he told the outlet it was a “cautionary tale” about how dangerous social media can be. ''

yes, this is the only thing that still has me riding that uncomfortable fence. I am about 75% sure Burke is responsible for CR's death at this moment, but evidence of who was driving and parking that car up and down the block would help me land firmly on the - he did this side of things.

It’s just coming off a little insensitive and attention grabbing especially right now when we don’t actually know what happened even if things certainly are pointing to one thing.

IMO not attention grabbing, apparently he didn't know/see he was being recorded and teenagers tend to be dismissive about warnings and stories teachers tells them.

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.

I was on the fence about what to believe or what my to believe in this case - mainly due to the fact that there happens to be another girl called Celeste in his social circle (who is an adult). Her face was obscured in all the pictures of them allegedly together up until yesterday, and any mention of celeste could be referring to the other girl. But after seeing the picture of them actually together and reports of people seeing them together in person I’ve changed my mind. Also, this tweet by him made my skin crawl.


Even before any of this happened, no person with good intentions would write something like that.

Regardless of if he’s guilty of killing her or not, regardless of the nature of the relationship even, he knowingly established a relationship with a child who was his fan. Talk about power imbalance. Even if we find out that he didn’t kill her, it’s clear that at least someone in his orbit did, given that she was found in his car. He’s ultimately responsible for putting her in that situation and for having no regard for her safety.

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

About 10,000 people go missing in Los Angeles each year (and that's just the ones that are reported).

I am thinking that "extended period of time" was likely over a month, given the clues about decomp and the difficulty in identifying her ethnicity and initially, even her sex.

Could be even longer.

IMO. What a gruesome, ugly, heinous crime. I hope it is solved soon.

If there's still room in the DM, I'd really like to join.
