Summary

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now hearing testimony from individuals directly connected to singer D4VD, and the cracks in his inner circle are starting to show. This week, Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three days being grilled by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. According to reports, Morgenroth was heard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive in questioning why he never contacted police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla. 

His reported response was that he wanted to continue with the tour. Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury, prompting the DA to seek a body attachment order to arrest and compel testimony. The witness is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, suggesting she may be part of D4VD's inner circle. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 years old when she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024. 

Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect, and investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in the disposal of her body. Sources say the case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking. Despite early claims of cooperation, D4VD has reportedly been uncooperative since the start of the investigation and has remained silent on all public platforms. The grand jury proceedings continue.
