Summary

Timestamp to skip the intro: (9:00)

In early September 2025, an abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles to a tow yard after it violated a parking ordinance. Within days, employees at the yard reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle and reported that it was attracting flies.

When authorities investigated, they discovered the body of a young female in the front trunk of the Tesla.

The body was identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a California teen who had been reported missing in 2024.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Celeste had been associated with the musician D4vd in recent years. The two have documented interactions online. When Celeste’s body was discovered, she was noted to have a tattoo that matched one that d4vd has.

D4vd has since cancelled his upcoming tour and media sources report that he is a suspect in Celeste’s death. No charges have been laid but a grand jury has been convened in the case.
