OMG!!!!

Cops Rush to D4vd's Texas Home for Swatting Call, Stunned Parents Come to Door

Newly released body cam footage shows cops swarming D4vd’s Texas family home for a welfare check -- just days after the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas was discovered in his Tesla.

Edit: Have just properly read the article - unfortunately this is not an arrest. Likely a prank call / somebody messing with his parents so the house was swatted. Disappointing but interesting nonetheless.

Not gonna lie... that mum did but a gun the other day and when I read gunshots I thought the woman had sorted him out herself. Did she specify which son was home?
Wonder where he's hiding.
JMOO MOO

I think it would be pretty normal for LAPD to tell him to stay put in LA for a little bit. His siblings are both younger than him, makes sense that it wasn't him there.

Wasn't the brother a part of his entourage? Possibly photographed with CR?

Even if he was in LA he's so well known right now surely people would be photographing him wherever he was.

Everything seems so squalid with this case but it there's a lot of significant little things that have been curated that are too hard not to note out of interest to see if he really did plan everything that much.

What's up with all the Tesla's.
There was the red one in the garage, Josh Marshall denied it was his.
Dark blue one and black ones parked out front of house in May 2024 (likely same as car involved in crime as it has a similar rectangle sticker on the bottom left corner of the windscreen as seen in photos from when car was abandoned)
And a white one is used in promo shots for his music with a bashed in windscreen.

And did anyone else notice the "slasher costume" featured in a pic of his from 31 July? Anyone see it used as a prop for a performance?

One thing I think the LAPD likely has a very good idea of by now is when she died. I'm not convinced the Tesla will be as good a source of info as people hope, but I think it's likely they know when the frunk was open/closed. And even if they don't have that information yet (I don't know Tesla's timeline), they will likely have information on when she stopped communicating with people. So I suspect their statement that she may have been dead for several weeks was based on more than just the fact the car hadn't moved (that itself isn't good evidence when the car's owner wasn't in town). MOO.

Teslas are just really common cars here.

Fair enough he just must really like them.

the alleged video/still shots of a female resembling CR at a concert in Silver Spring MD appears to have been debunked. It was not CR in that video. Further nobody has been able to confirm if the male standing next to teh unidentified female is D4vd's little brother.
D4vd Concert Vid Goes Viral for Suspected Celeste Rivas Sighting, Source Says It's Not Her

I too am a bit surprised at all the Teslas and had also noted the red one in the garage of the rental property, although I guess they are popular with some folks.

A California teenager who once dated Celeste Rivas back in middle school is speaking out ... saying she had a troubled home life before running away -- and her mom treated her badly.

This is a clear reminder that when someone says they want to run away, it’s not just words, it’s a cry for help. Poor Celeste... MOO JMO

Apologies of this isn’t the correct place to ask this but I was wondering about the ME and the cause of death being deferred. I know they are waiting on toxicology results but seeing as the body has now been released to the family and no further physical exam will take place, are we to assume there was no sign of another potential case of death? Like blunt force trauma or signs of strangulation etc. Or would that not be mentioned (if there were such signs) until toxicology is complete?

DBM because that wasn't the link I was trying to share. Thankfully AppleTree shared the one I wanted to just below.

Video of Celeste in shouting match rewrites timeline in D4vd case

New footage has emerged of Celeste Rivas Hernandez that rewrites the timeline of the case as we’ve come to know it.

www.newsnationnow.com

According to Ashleigh Banfield’s report Celeste was seen on her neighbor’s Ring camera while at her parents’ home sometime in September 2024 or 4 months after she was reported missing in April.

I would think that they could locate no definitive cause of death by physical examination of the remains leaving only toxicology and other testing, the results of which are not back yet, to determine if possible just how she died.

David's interest in gore makes me uneasy about what thoughts and fancies played in his mind.
Makes me wonder if he or the group he hangs with, have committed other crimes ?
Omo.

SBMFF

It appears that gore, to D4vd, is like p o r n to him per his texts. At least that's my take on gore>"p-word"

Im really struggling to believe this. Someone who happens to look VERY much like CR is up on a VIP area behind / beside the stage and David looks up to her and beckons to her while singing.

Im wondering if this "source" is creating a false narrative about it not being her. IMO

Wait so this kid is saying Celeste was "looking for something serious" when she was 12 years old. Um.....what?

I have multiple children and this just doesn't sound right to me at all. Boyfriends / Girlfriends at 12 years old are not real relationships, they are school yard "relationships" where they might hold hands on occasion an giggle at each other. IMO

Unless USA is a completely different kettle of fish to where I come from.

 

[starlightstarbright]

I think you're likely right that the timing with the tour isn't a coincidence, but works just as easily with an accidental death theory I think, with emotions running high and the potential to use substances to deal with emotions.

I also think it works really well with the theory that this was a murder by someone else. Maybe he kept her safe by his presence? With him gone on tour, she was a 14 year old left reliant on whoever was left at the house. It’s not like she could drive herself to do grocery shopping. Someone must have been minding her to a degree. What if that person knew she was vulnerable and by herself and harmed her? Maybe if that happened putting her in someone else’s car would have seemed a really good way at the time to distance yourself from what you did? MOO

It's giving hugely planned and predatory vibes. Bryan kohberger style.
Even if he didn't start out with the intention of her coming to an untimely death, I honestly believe he started to realise opportunity to act out his proclivities due to her socioeconomic and disenfranchised status.
The limerence implied between them in the songs and posts is disturbing.
She was enmeshed, used and disposed of by him or one of his people.

IMOO MOO

New info

I've been assuming David's star stickers were blemish patches. They sell them with all kinds of designs now. But maybe it has some other significance for this crowd. Is this the new emo?

Blemish stickers, seriously?

Blemish stickers, seriously?

They are pretty mainstream TBH.
