Summary

A grand jury is actively hearing evidence in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — and what's coming out of that Los Angeles courthouse is raising serious questions about who knew what and when. Robert Morgenroth, the head of D4vd's record label Mogul Vision and president of his touring company, reportedly testified for three days. He was overheard telling his attorney that prosecutors grilled him on why he didn't call police — and his response was that he "didn't feel it was his responsibility" and "just wanted to continue with the tour." 

Now a female witness is facing arrest after refusing to appear, with Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman seeking a body attachment to compel her testimony. She shares an attorney with Morgenroth. D4vd remains a suspect in the eyes of LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division. Investigators reportedly have tracking data placing him in a remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night during Spring 2025 — the window when Celeste is believed to have died. A second suspect has been identified who allegedly helped with the dismemberment. Celeste's remains were found in D4vd's abandoned Tesla on September 8, 2025. No cause of death has been determined. The pressure is mounting — and the inner circle is cracking.

⚠️ LEGAL NOTICE: D4vd has not been arrested or charged with any crime. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. All information sourced from law enforcement officials speaking to NBC, ABC, TMZ, and other media outlets.

A woman who's supposed to testify before the grand jury on Wednesday and didn't show up.

0:33.1

And the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman, was apparently so frustrated that she walked out into the courthouse hallway, found the woman's attorney, and told her straight up, I'm getting a body attachment.
