So hypothetically, if he is completely innocent and someone else has done this..

Should someone report HIM missing?
When was last proof of life?

What if they've do one something to him too but because it looks like he did it and he's in hiding no one's realised?

Just another thought since he's nowhere to be found. IMOO

Really hoping LE has eyes on him......

His sheltered (he was home schooled and has shared how it has impacted his ability to express himself with others) childhood opened up the world of anime to him and he has shared how much he likes things Japanese. He's toured Japan a bunch. Itami and the corresponding anime were part of his Persona (which is also another video game). In the anime he had created there is a scene where the girl loses a limb. The girl depicted has long wavy hair. It's eerie.

One thing I have noticed is that Japanese pop culture is much bigger with younger generations than with older ones. I am middle-aged, I guess, 45; people in their 20s have grown up with Japanese anime and manga and pop music as huge influences in ways that would have been unthinkable. In my generation, Japanese pop culture was not nearly so mainstream.

This creator/musician is HUGE. The next Big Thing. Just because we don't know about it doesn't mean he wasn't skyrocketing... a huge cash cow for Josh the Manager.... he even played at Josh's wedding in Italy and his parents were in attendance. He had cross promo with Crocs.. fortnite.... other huge companies and they're all on hold. For now.
His Fandom seems to stand by him vehemently.

I am not sure about that. Until the subreddit was locked down, everyone posting there was condemning him. The reactions I have seen on social media have been hostile and disbelieving.

I am sure that some of his fans do not want to believe it. That is a different thing.

The detectives and the district attorney are going to have to find actual evidence linking him to a homicide, first.

He is not a POI and we should not be assuming that he's guilty. Case law on mens rea is pretty broad. Whoever put her in the trunk of the car did so because they were trying to hide something and were capable of operating the trunk and getting a black plastic bag and squeezing her in there (alive or dead).

As far as we know, DB was able to pack, get himself to an airport and perform several times right after.

IMO

And right now, we do not know enough. For all we know, someone around him may have found Celeste after she overdosed or something and took it on themself to hide her body really badly.

Yes I grew up in Japan and USA and today seeing so many American children and young adults at the LA "Anime expo" celebrating Japanese anime is amazing to me.

Re: subreddits... there are many other alt subreddits now where they have all intentionally migrated to discuss the injustice of the court of public opinion. If you look hard enough there are many die hard fans who are not hearing Rational Thought. (I've seen it, I've tried to participate but it is too exasperating)

These are VERY young fans (I know some of these kids, including mine)---- aged 14-19. IF this ends up being anything like "young fan /who could have been a love interest of D was found deceased and possibly was a victim of an overdose".... the Fandom absolutely won't bat an eyelash and he will continue to have a vibrant career. My opinion. Trying to think of a parallel.... actor Matthew Broderick was in a vehicle accident in Ireland that killed 2 women. (Ended up on the wrong side of the road.) It did nothing to tarnish his stardom. Alec Baldwin.... Scot free after shooing Halyna Hutchins..... rocker Vince Neil ... caused a car death... Caitlin Jenner... killed someone w her car... none of the above have served time for what they did and continued to Be Famous.

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??

That’s (ironically) funny and you’d likely make a much better witness than me. About the only thing I notice about cars is their color and if it was a car, SUV, pickup or van. But my husband and youngest son can pretty much ID a car from it’s headlights and/or taillights.
