Summary
Three separate grand juries. Friends, managers, family members — all subpoenaed. That is the scope of the orbit prosecutors examined in the case against David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, now charged with the first-degree murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.
But the question this part of the case forces is not about guilt or innocence. It is about proximity. Burke's manager Robert Morgenroth was reportedly overheard telling his attorney that calling police was not his job — his responsibility was the tour. Friends reportedly accepted that the girl among them was nineteen, not fourteen, based on what Burke allegedly told them. Prosecutors allege Celeste traveled to Texas to meet Burke's family. In his Discord server, someone reportedly referenced "the missing girl Celeste Rivas Hernandez" months after she disappeared — and nothing happened.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines how professional stakes, social conformity, family loyalty, and online bystander dynamics allegedly created an environment where prosecutors allege a fourteen-year-old girl was hidden in plain sight. When that many people are close enough to be questioned under oath, the psychological question shifts: is the more common reality that they genuinely did not see it, or that they saw fragments and convinced themselves it was something else?

| 0:07.0 | When an alleged crime like the one prosecutor is described when the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case comes to light, |
| 0:14.0 | one of the hardest questions isn't about the person charged, it's about everyone else. |
| 0:18.0 | The friends who reportedly saw a young girl at parties and didn't ask questions, or if they |
| 0:22.9 | did, they just accepted whatever they got. |
| 0:24.9 | The industry professionals who allegedly kept the machine running, the family members |
| 0:28.5 | subpoenaed to a grand jury, how do so many people allegedly stand that close to something |

| 0:52.7 | that when prosecutors asked, |
| 0:55.3 | why didn't you call police after learning there was a body |

| 1:03.5 | His job was making sure the tour succeeded. |
| 1:07.9 | That's the claim. |
| 1:09.4 | That's the TMZ claims they overheard in the court hallway right there. |
| 1:15.2 | So that is, that's the claim. I can't say it's 1,000% factual, but let's just say for a moment it is, |
| 1:20.5 | because a lot of people seem to look the other way, and that's the gist of this. What happens |
| 1:24.4 | psychologically when professional loyalty or financial stakes override what most |
| 1:29.7 | people would see as basic moral obligations? Yeah, and that's where somebody had made the comment. |
