CA- Body (IDd as Celeste Rivas Hernandez) found in vehicle at Hollywood tow yard, abandoned Tesla registered to singer D4vd – 8 September 2025 #2

[PatLaurel]

There's merit in the 178 million views prior to Sept 10, if we're being fair.

As we all await further facts, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging this young man was talented and on his way up.

I'm hopeful law enforcement will soon be able to provide us with some facts.

I meant in the 12M views (I accidentally typed 18 in my post). There's no doubt he has merit! In fact, in my Sep. 10th post, I acknowledged that D4vd is a talented kid.

The rule of thumb I remember is 1% per day. So, 3+ months. If neighbors have said they’ve seen the car on the streets since May, it’s plausible that it ran out of battery, though one would think you’d act before that point.

You would think so. Then again this is the same people who (allegedly) procrastinated for weeks over disposing of the dead body of their underage victim and left her stashed in the same car.

Regarding when she died, I think the simplest explanation is she died when she stopped communicating with people (if those reports are true). If someone were pretending to be her, they would have no reason to stop pretending while her body was still in the car.

You raise a good point. I keep swinging between a few different dates, based on various mostly unverified sources.

Last social media activity from her (alleged) Instagram, 31st July. David was back in L.A posting from his bedroom on the 30th.

The 3rd-4th August gap in his schedule.

Or the 10th-11th gap, he did seem to act a bit differently from the 12th on.

Then there are the videos from the 24th August, where a girl looking like her can be seen behind the stage. Which would line up with the (supposed) brother saying she'd been dead two weeks. He must have been contacted after her name became public on the 17th September.

It's going to be a wait and see what the police find up on her last movements and the Tesla data.

What I keep coming back to is that D4vd still performed after the body was discovered in his car. I know “the show must go on,” but that’s really taking it to another level, especially for someone relatively young and new to performing (whether the emotion was grief or fear, how could it not be overwhelming?). Is there any possibility he didn’t know it was her body in the car? I’m finding that exceedingly unlikely.

He has been touring pretty consistently since 2023 it would probably count as good distraction. A lot of money and logistics revolve around him performing on schedule. Also, if he did it. Not dropping a tour date and being publically far from L.A as much as possible would be the smart play.

If he had managed to dump her somewhere she wasn't found for a while. Linking her death to him when he had a perfect alibi for most of that timeframe would probably have been a hell of a lot harder.

I don't know why, but i'm expecting we will hear something completely opposite of what we are thinking. I think there will be a 'turn about' in this case. Maybe my Spidey senses are off, but i don't think he killed her. or hid her.

I honestly don't know what I think about the how, when and who of CR's death. I only know one thing for sure and two for certain. He was absolutely inappropriately involved with a minor child and now she is dead at just 14 years old. I do hope LE have more evidence than we know about that aspect of the case just in case they are unable to build one against him or another person for her death. At the very least I would hope DAB would suffer serious consequences for his actions in luring a vulnerable child into his adult world

I looked at his X account. There is a gap in posting there. July 31st....then nothing until August 5th. I find it curious.

Was it always a daily (or more often) thing for him to post until July 31st? No other gaps in his past?

 

[cujenn81]

My biggest fear is that they won’t be able to determine the cause of death or won’t be able to definitively say she died by homicide. That’s really the worst case scenario for everyone involved. Not only would Celeste and her family be denied justice, but suspicions of guilt would follow this guy around for the rest of his life. TBH, that will probably still happen no matter what the medical examiner ultimately decides at this point. Once people have made up their minds about something, it’s nearly impossible to change it — even when presented with hard evidence.

The Hollywood Hills landlord where D4vd was staying -- and where cops just executed a search warrant -- is distancing himself from the singer amid the fallout over teen Celeste Rivas’ death.

Pics into the garage and items being thrown out. Some of the Items being thrown out are famiiar to the Fandom because they're seen in old photos (large beanbag chair) which is kind of shocking and wasteful but I guess that's how Hollywood Goes...???

My biggest problem with this is his apparent (IMO) “disconnect” related to Celeste’s disappearance (between her last contact with him & her body being found), the discovery of a body in his car & her subsequent identification. If she last communicated with him about July 31st and her body wasn’t found until September 8th, why does he not seem to express any concern as to her whereabouts, what may have happened to her, etc? Why does we not have any reports (whether formal or just “chatter” from anyone associated with him) that D4vd was looking for and/or concerned about her between 7/31 & 9/8? Why does he seem unaffected by the discovery of a body in his car (I think most people would be upset even if they didn’t have a clue who it was!) and act like he doesn’t know whose body it is? HELLO?! I would expect to see him visibly concerned/upset knowing that the body of a young female with long, dark curly hair was found decomposing in my car AND I haven’t had any contact with my girlfriend - WHO MATCHES THIS DESCRIPTION - since July 31st. But not only does he not seem upset/concerned (he goes out and performs 2 shows!), but he says he doesn’t know whose body it may be. REALLY?!!

I know some people can “compartmentalize” feelings and carry on with things that have to be done, but this seems WAY beyond that. Granted, we are not necessarily privy to what goes on inside of him or behind closed doors, but he just seems so EMPTY - like there is no emotion, no soul. It’s like he’s as flat as the anime characters he seems to identify with.

Agreed.
All very valid points !

I imagine his handlers have cautioned him against even acknowledging the body found in his frunk publicly. And now he has legal counsel as we were recently informed so I am not at all surprised by his lack of upset appearance.

IMO his entourage knows exactly when she stopped living at his house. How was this presented to them? He acts like he and CR parted ways a long time ago and she is not on his mind any more. Her last contact with friends could be faked, but who did the neighbor see with him until a couple months ago if it wasn't CR?

 

[squareandrabbet]

To be honest I can certainly believe that he was socialised in a very maladaptive way. Pulled out of school at 11/12. Moved across the country presumably away from real life friends. Spends early teens mainly online. Homeschooled, unrestricted internet, what sounds like a strict religious household, main outlet being a very minor Fortnite profile and maybe esports.

Then he reaches 16/17 and his bedroom recorded songs start going viral. From there it's an immediate rollercoaster straight up. Record contract in 2022 at 17. Then touring for a chunk of every year since. Money, fame, an entourage, fans, fangirls, hangers on, Hollywood and all it's excesses and vice...

This is not a defence of D4vd. If the suspected timeline of their relationship is correct, he was a predatory pedophile who started grooming her at ten and by the time he was an adult she was still criminally young. He knew it. That's why he hid her as his life became more and more public.

I am just saying, that kind adolescence is not one that I can imagine had many if any healthy friendships or relationships.

He talks about this a little:

d4vd on Living 'Vicariously' Through Others as a Homeschooled Kid — and the Invaluable Advice He Got from SZA (Exclusive)

d4vd, who's set to take the stage at Coachella, opens up to PEOPLE about his debut album, being homeschooled and touring with SZA.

people.com

d4vd — who was raised Christian — says he was a bit of a late bloomer. He wasn't allowed to listen to secular music until he was 13. Once he discovered mainstream artists, his "mind" started "going crazy."


"My mom was big on, like, 'You going to be the smartest kid in the world. You're going to be a genius.' I listened to Mozart, listened to Bach, listened to Beethoven," he recalls. Then, in the sixth grade, he secretly downloaded SoundCloud.

"I had to hide it from my parents cause my parents would check my phone every week to make sure I was staying on the right track... I found XXXTentacion, Smokepurpp, Lil Pump, Ski Mask the Slump God, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi. It was like only eating M&M's your whole life and then figuring out that Skittles exist."

When he started making music, d4vd felt "isolated" and like he wasn't "living the life" — so he would turn to his online friends to tell him about their experiences. "I lived through them and told their stories," he says.

Since then, d4vd has maintained his faith and feels it helps him "navigate" his rising star. His parents are supportive, too.

Right there with you. I’ll eat my hat if I’m wrong though!

Yes. The world tour was announced canceled on Sept 21. I chauffeured kids to and home from the show earlier in his tour who are fans. It's a touchy subject considering no charges have been filed and we all live under the assumption of innocent until proven guilty (in the USA.)

…

Innocent until proven guilty only applies to having your basic rights taken away. You have no right to have someone else hire you. If someone told you the babysitter you wanted to hire smacked their kids once, would you still hire that babysitter? I would hope not. Defamation laws cover any possible wrong in that situation. And the wrong would have been committed by the person who lied (if they lied), not by the person who made a hiring decision based just on what they heard. (And here, you don’t even have an accusation, just a combination of respect for the deceased, optics, and CYA.)

Has this already been discussed?

• For the frunk to open, the car must be turned on & opened from the inside OR opened from the app

You can also use the key fob to open the frunk.

Reports say that neighbors have stated they saw the black Tesla parked at various places in the neighborhood since May 2025 until 9/5/25, the tow date. Apparently, it would stay in one spot for about 3 days, then move to another, which would be in accordance with the local laws that prohibit a vehicle from staying parked in the same spot for over 72 hours.

On 8/27/25, a parking enforcement officer marked the Tesla's tires at its spot on Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills. This is the first official record of it being stationary.

On 9/3/25, a parking ticket was issued for violating the 72-hour parking ordinance.

On 9/5/25, the vehicle was towed to an impound lot.
Multiple reports have since stated that neighbors saw the car parked on that street for at least three weeks prior to the tow.
This suggests the vehicle was initially parked in the same spot around mid-to-late August 2025.

We haven't heard who was moving the car around during that time, but I assume LE knows or will find out. IMO, that won't be hard to find out. Surprised we haven't seen that name already.

I had theorized that maybe the body was put in the trunk way back in May, and that was why they suddenly started parking it on the street. But I've now been convinced that it probably couldn't have been in there that long.

So now I am very curious why they suddenly began parking it on the street in May. When was the accident or whatever it was that caused the damage we see? Maybe it was just because of that, and he wasn't driving it suddenly because of the damage, so made space for another vehicle in the garage, one that DIDN'T look like crap.

But was he parking it in the garage up til May? Maybe he was, but that was when part of garage was made into gaming space, so the Tesla had to go outside.

You would think so. Then again this is the same people who (allegedly) procrastinated for weeks over disposing of the dead body of their underage victim and left her stashed in the same car.


You raise a good point. I keep swinging between a few different dates, based on various mostly unverified sources.

Last social media activity from her (alleged) Instagram, 31st July. David was back in L.A posting from his bedroom on the 30th.

The 3rd-4th August gap in his schedule.

Or the 10th-11th gap, he did seem to act a bit differently from the 12th on.

Then there are the videos from the 24th August, where a girl looking like her can be seen behind the stage. Which would line up with the (supposed) brother saying she'd been dead two weeks. He must have been contacted after her name became public on the 17th September.

It's going to be a wait and see what the police find up on her last movements and the Tesla data.


He has been touring pretty consistently since 2023 it would probably count as good distraction. A lot of money and logistics revolve around him performing on schedule. Also, if he did it. Not dropping a tour date and being publically far from L.A as much as possible would be the smart play.

If he had managed to dump her somewhere she wasn't found for a while. Linking her death to him when he had a perfect alibi for most of that timeframe would probably have been a hell of a lot harder.

All good points.

I’ve had various thoughts on the procrastination. And I’m someone who certainly understands procrastination/avoidance lol. Possibilities I’ve come up with so far:
1) Just logistics. D4vd did it and didn’t have time with his tour. Decided he’d figure out his plan while away.
2) Did anyone in D4vd’s circle quietly quit during this time? D4vd may have delegated and that person may have peaced out. (This has been my leading theory, whether murder or OD).
3) Squeamish. There’s no indication these are hardened criminals. Once they realized the body has started to decompose, they may be less and less willing to deal with it. Especially if it wasn’t a murder.
4) Strategy concerns. Remote areas of the desert and the hills have historically worked pretty well for disposing of bodies, at least to give enough time for evidence to be degraded. Even dumpsters, as long as you can avoid discovery until after trash pickup. But it seems likely the Tesla would have data on the route taken.
5) Irrational avoidance. I struggle to accept this possibility even though I have my own issues with irrational avoidance, so I’m not sure why I find this unlikely (disclaimer: my issues don’t involve concealing bodies).
