Welcome to MK True Crime. I'm Ashley Merchant. I'm a criminal defense attorney from Atlanta, Georgia.

0:09.8

Today I am joined by my friend and co-host Phil Holloway. He's a former prosecutor, a former police officer, and currently a criminal defense lawyer.

0:17.4

Hey, Phil, how are you? Ashley, I'm doing great. Always happy to be here with you.

0:22.1

And this, by the way, is this is our last show before we officially change our name to

0:27.5

the MK True Crime show next week. The The is very important. So let's go over what we have

0:34.1

lined up today on the docket. Earlier this week, singer David was charged with first-degree murder of the 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and now the autopsy results have finally been revealed. We'll bring you the details.

And another Dugger's son from the show, 19 kids and county is facing charges of inappropriate behavior with a minor. We'll discuss that,

1:29.3

She has decomposed so they weren't able to actually figure a lot of things out because of the level of decomposition.

1:35.5

They couldn't tell certain things about her, such as her race, her sex, things like that, because her body had decomposed so much.

1:42.4

It was just just really, really, and it was mutilated.

1:45.5

Her body was mutilated.

1:46.9

So I think this is going to be a really graphic case, but did you get a chance to

1:50.0

look at those autopsy results?

1:51.9

It did.

1:52.4

And our friend Lauren Conlin, by the way, who's been a guest on the show with LA Magazine,

1:58.2

has done such a great job reporting on this as well.
