I’m still catching up, but where was he between the 1st and the 8th of August?
I can only see a date for August 5th in Del Mar, CA (then to Phoenix, AZ after that). This means he would have been in LA (possibly at home) at one night between the 1st and 8th.

It appears he was performing from 31 August?

Sometimes I think we sleuthers might be trying too hard to read into things. But then I remember someone finding and sharing a Spotify playlist that Brian Laundrie made for his trip home from Wyoming…. often coincidences aren’t just coincidences.
II’m still on the fence whether it was planned or accidental (drug OD and he didn’t want to be found/associated with her in any legal capacity because of the many obvious reasons) and he panicked. Am leaning towards the latter, but with EVERYTHING ELSE out there (his lyrics/videos/merch), it suuuuuure has a morbid and foreshadowy feel to it

He had a concert to kick off the Withered tour in San Francisco on 7/30/2025. Older announcements say tour began in August in San Diego but that's not correct... the only shows that were canceled were the last 3 on the schedule , on the day she was named, they canceled Seattle. On Friday 19 th they announced LA and SF (he was supposed to come back) were canceled.
@friendlysleuther
this artist is HUGE, got a record contract at age 17... like a hero to a bunch of middle schoolers and high schoolers right now.
This is from his Instagram, concert was on 30 July. He mentions hello kitty here, which we know CR was seen wearing HK crocs and she was a fan of. People threw Labubu ( today's beanie babies) on stage & D has an insta photo about it, you can see one hanging on his belt loop here, too.

Spotify also put together a short documentary on the artist.... they go into his background in music and how he skyrocketed to fame.
<modsnip> ... those hydrocolloid star face stickers his buddy is wearing one too on his insta- they're simply trendy.

No matter how we look at this, finding a dead 14-year-old inside a car's trunk isn't a good look for anyone. I have confidence that the agencies tasked with solving how she died and how she ended up inside the trunk of that car will be capable of finding out what happened and who is responsible for it.
Now, this is a really sad case. From what I have been reading, and I have unfortunately been following this case too closely, she was an habitual runaway. And let me be super clear, this is just an assumption on my part: but maybe her family knew where she was whenever she wasn't home, so they just stopped reporting her missing. I don't doubt that they looked for her, I don't doubt that they tried to contact her and probably insisted on her going back home many times. We know that she returned home several times and it's proven by video evidence.
I don't care how much bravado she had, I don't care that she probably thought she was a big girl and could handle whatever she was dealing with, but no matter how some voices try to spin it, she was just a little girl and didn't deserve to end up dead in the trunk of a car. I am so sad that she lived this rough life and had such a sad ending.

IMO, it has to do with the fact that her mom didn’t really do much looking for her or try to bring her home. She seemed ok that she was gone and dating someone named David at 13! That’s not a typical response to a missing child or runaway. Not for me.
All my opinions.

A statement from D4vd's manager from your link:
“This video is false and the person is misinformed. This is the only time I’ll speak on this matter. FOR NOW. This has been a tough time for my family as I am a father of 3 children. I received no emails and I’m no one’s room mate, I live full time at home with my wife and kids. My daughter is 14 and this news is affecting so many lives. I never received any emails. I had zero knowledge of anything and I don’t live in California. Also I work remotely 95% of the time and my job doesn’t require me to have much interaction with any of my clients/David, as there are many others that work with him on a day to day capacity, not me. This news is tragic for so many and for her family. I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon. Let me remind people a lot of this is speculation and alleged. In the meantime, I am with my family helping them emotionally get through the news of this tragedy. Please report on factual information.”

So D has been known to say he is from the Internet...let's consider he says he was home schooled... pandemic shutdown was for him when he was 15. 15! So he had no real friendships IRL (in real life) and cultivated a persona. It seems Also a huge fan of anime / gore / video games / online gaming - his friendships were mostly parasocial, including perhaps one with CR when he was 16 or 17 and she was 12 or 13. Combine that with a family with not much supervision & D's rise to fame, which includes money and power.....IMO this mom of CR isn't going to have much control over their tween/teen overnight.
Seeming OK that her teen dates someone 4-5 years older is something echoed on the internet, Lake Elsinore is a far cry from the privileged neighborhoods of Orange County a few miles away. You can't force kids to prioritize education and school overnight and by age 13 it seems IMO CR had other Priorities and dreams.
IF this artist and his team are involved I want to see everyone pay.

Reads like a pretty standard disclaimer, with heavy emphasis on the impact on family, etc., but I suspect he's fairly accurately describing the extent of his day-to-day interactions with talent and would be surprised if he knew about or was involved with the events leading to CR's death and its (seemingly very basic) coverup.
Managers may work hard for their % but covering up homicide/ death of a minor seems far beyond the scope of duties. IMO, JMO, etc.

Think this thread will be closing soon and a new one coming. But, wanted to highlight the video with CR having a "holler back" with the neighbor after being pranked. Ya' guys should have heard me yell after one of my kids pranked me...."#$%@#$%!!! and #@$%$%!!!
and you are grounded until you are old enough to shave!!!" She obviously had no problem speaking up when something irritated her.... I liked seeing that side of her personality. She was sassy and cute as a bug. Maybe that was part of the attraction?
BTW...the neighbors reconciled the issue the following day.
Also, in reference to Mgr distancing from "the artist...." I get it....but the members of LE who opened that trunk are just as traumatized and they have families, too.

This coverup by a manager might be plausible if D4vd was a huge star, someone that the manager depended on. He was not that: Headlining a show at History is not nearly the same as headlining a show at the Rogers Stadium. I think a lot of the work involved with being a manager could be and most likely would be done remotely.
Some crimes are conducted with more foresight than others. If, for instance, someone had actually taken Celeste's body in that Tesla and driven it to somewhere remote to hide the body, I am willing to bet that D4vd would at least get to complete his tour and release the new version of his album. (Someone smarter still would have used a car did that did not have multiple tracking methods, including a trunk camera.)
One consistent trend in all of this sad story is that no one was doing a good job of hiding any of this. D4vd and Celeste were a public couple, known even to her mother and to his friends. No one intervened not because they did not know about them but because they either did not care about it or were not in a position to do anything about it. There were no criminal masterminds at work, just young people with more fame and money than they had sense.

Yup they are literally everywhere here.I just came back from visiting California in the Silicon Valley - every other car was a Tesla... that is the first thing that "shocked" me - ALL those Teslas!!
So - no arrest yet??
I think certain cars are driven in certain areas, for example Buick and Pontiac cars are rare in CA but commonly driven in the Midwest and south.

D4vd Once Explained 'Murderous Alter Ego' Itami in ‘Roman...

''He also expanded on the character in an interview with Mahogany four months before the death investigation. "The story of the Manga went like – I was a detective and there was an evil version of myself that would come out at random moments," he said. "Kinda like ‘Fight Club’ with Tyler Durden. He would commit the crimes that I would have to solve afterwards as a detective. So as the detective, I’d be solving murders that I’m committing myself."
