Summary

A haunting new surveillance video of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has surfaced and it could be the most important clue yet in the Tesla death mystery. The footage shows the 14-year-old before her decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla belonging to rising singer D4vd. At the same time, police records reveal tickets piling up on that same abandoned car, before it was finally towed and opened. Private investigator Steve Fischer uncovers the Tesla’s paper trail, while TMZ’s Charles Latibeaudiere shares what he’s learned about Celeste, D4vd, and the explosive new surveillance video of Celeste. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield unpacks the disturbing timeline, the surveillance video, the unanswered questions about the Tesla, and what investigators are saying about Celeste’s death.
