The recent discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains in a Tesla registered to rising musician D4vd (David Anthony Burke) has captured widespread public attention. Despite growing online speculation regarding the singer’s involvement, authorities insist that the investigation is still ongoing and no conclusions have been reached.
D4vd’s Whereabouts and Cooperation
Questions about D4vd’s whereabouts have fueled rumors, especially after several of his upcoming shows were canceled and he was absent from social media and livestreams. Viral TikTok clips purportedly showing activity at his Hollywood residence led to speculation that he might have gone into hiding. However, law enforcement sources have confirmed that D4vd has not disappeared and is actively cooperating with investigators. The LAPD has conducted searches of his residence and seized electronic devices for further examination.
Why No Arrest Has Been Made
Despite public curiosity and the emergence of potential links between D4vd and Celeste, authorities have not made an arrest. Legal experts explain that probable cause is required before detaining a suspect. The case is currently classified as a death investigation, not a confirmed homicide, and officials caution that prematurely arresting a high-profile individual could jeopardize the investigation or result in charges being dismissed.
Possible Connection Between D4vd and Celeste Rivas
Questions have arisen regarding a personal connection between D4vd and Celeste. According to TMZ, Celeste’s mother revealed that her daughter mentioned dating someone named “David” shortly before her disappearance in 2024. Fans have also pointed out that both Celeste and D4vd share a “Shh…” tattoo on their index fingers, though this is a common design and does not confirm a link. Authorities have not verified any direct connection between the two.
Next Steps in the Investigation
The case remains active as officials await the results of a final autopsy, which will determine the cause and time of Celeste’s death. This report will likely be pivotal in shaping the investigation and could influence whether charges are filed against D4vd.
