Summary
In Part 2 of our d4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez update, Tyrella and Nikita cover what prosecutors dropped at the April 23rd status hearing — exactly one year to the day Celeste was last seen alive. Prosecutors told the judge that Burke's iPhone and iCloud contain a significant amount of child sexual abuse material, and they've only reviewed one terabyte out of eight. They also break down the full 40-terabyte evidence scale, the court-authorized wiretap, why charges took so long to file, what came out in the April 29th court filing including the Amazon purchases and the inflatable pool, and Celeste's family's first public statement. The preliminary hearing is set for May 26th — and this case is just getting started.
Content warning: detailed discussion of murder, dismemberment, CSAM, and child sexual abuse allegations. Start with Part 1 if you haven't already.

| 0:00.0 | Did you ever hear a story and think, we're not getting the full picture? |
| 0:08.6 | That's where we start. |
| 0:10.1 | On this field's criminal, we unpack crime, corruption, and conspiracy with curiosity, |
| 0:15.4 | context, and just a touch of chaos. |
| 0:17.4 | We step outside the timelines and ask better questions and explore the systems |
| 0:21.9 | behind the story, all in a voice that feels more like a friend than a reporter. Because when you |
| 0:26.4 | identify the patterns, you can't unsee how often they show up. Prosecutors walked into what was |
| 0:34.8 | supposed to be a routine status hearing, and before it was over, |
| 0:39.0 | they had told a Los Angeles judge that David Burke, David, had a significant amount of child |
| 0:46.3 | sexual abuse images on his iCloud account. And here's what makes it even more disturbing. |
| 0:52.8 | They've only gone through one terabyte, and that's out of eight. |
| 0:56.4 | So we are just getting started. |
| 0:59.4 | Welcome back to this feels criminal. |
| 1:01.6 | I'm Nikita. |
| 1:02.7 | And I'm Terrellah. |
| 1:03.4 | We discussed last episode how Celeste's body was found, the arrest of David, and the charges |
| 1:10.5 | that were laid out at a press |
| 1:11.8 | conference, and what the autopsy revealed. This is part two, and we are starting right |
| 1:17.9 | where we left off in a Los Angeles courtroom in April of 26. Exactly one year to the day |
| 1:27.1 | after Celeste walked into David Burke's Hollywood Hills home |
| 1:30.8 | and was never heard from again. And as a reminder, if you want access to early episode drops, |
