This is the full three-part interview series with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — one of the most comprehensive psychological examinations of the D4VD case produced anywhere.

Scott has spent over three decades in forensic mental health, trauma recovery, domestic violence response, and the study of criminal violence. She's the author of The Minds of Mass Killers. She's worked with both victims and perpetrators. And she joins Tony Brueski for an unflinching look at every psychological dimension of the case against David Anthony Burke in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Part 1 traces the before — the family dynamics, the platform failures, the resource imbalance, and the repeated runaway behavior that allegedly made Celeste a target for exploitation. Part 2 examines the alleged silence — the months of public performance, the inner circle that said nothing, the witnesses who fled and were dragged back, and the family that fought to avoid the grand jury. Part 3 takes on the hardest question — whether the charges, the alleged behavioral pattern, and the creative output of "Romantic Homicide" and "Withered" point to impulsivity or something much darker.

Scott doesn't soften. She doesn't speculate beyond what the publicly available information supports. And she delivers the kind of psychological clarity that turns confusion into understanding — even when the understanding is deeply uncomfortable.

Three parts. Every angle. No flinching.
