Summary

In a chilling new episode of Break the Case, retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes listeners deep inside one of the most haunting true crime stories of the year — the mysterious death of Celeste Rivas. Once reported as a missing person, Rivas was later found deceased inside the frunk of a Tesla belonging to her boyfriend, the artist known as D4VD (David). But the details emerging now raise more questions than ever about what really happened in the days leading up to her death.

Coffindaffer meticulously reconstructs the case, combining confirmed evidence with new claims from private investigator Steve Fisher. According to Fisher, who became involved after concerns from the landlord of the property where David was staying, critical documents from the original search warrant were never returned or shared — a procedural gap that led him to dig deeper. He claims his investigation uncovered surveillance footage, witness accounts, and digital evidence that point directly toward David’s involvement, even as questions swirl about whether others may have helped conceal the crime.

Jennifer walks through every disturbing layer — from Rivas’ on-again, off-again disappearance, to the chilling discovery of her body in the Tesla’s compact front compartment. She examines the implausibility of one small man acting alone, the eerie behavior surrounding the abandoned car, and the inconsistencies in statements that continue to puzzle investigators.

With exclusive photos, expert insight, and a methodical review of the evidence, Break the Case delivers a gripping look at how investigators and independent researchers are closing in on the truth. As Coffindaffer reminds viewers, in true crime — every clue, every camera, and every unanswered question can break the case wide open.

I know it's a little last minute, but there was really what I consider pretty breaking news

0:27.1

that came out if it's to be believed. I think it's really important for understanding what happened

0:34.1

in Celeste Revis case. For those of you who don't know the background,

0:39.9

Celeste Revis, and let me put just a photo up here, she was reported as a missing person long ago,

0:47.5

actually months ago. And when she was reported missing, she actually was kind of missing, not missing, missing,

not missing.

I've showed it before of her at her home months after this poster was made and after she

was reported missing.

1:08.1

So she was sort of run away, go back, run away, go back. But then she

1:14.5

took up a relationship with D4VD, which is David. That's how he spells his name. And this

1:24.1

relationship is corroborated through multiple photos, through tattoos on their fingers that line up.

Again, photographic evidence, video evidence, streaming evidence, evidence, evidence from witnesses.

There is no doubt I'm going to put up another picture of them. I think I have a stream photo here to show you. There is absolutely no doubt, I have a lot of photos here, that they were involved with one another. In any event, Celeste Rivas was found deceased in the front

of the vehicle of David's Tesla. I want to just show this. This is the actual picture.

2:13.4

So this is the bag. And I just want to make it clear, and I I've made this clear before that this is not a normal trunk.

2:20.9

This is your normal average trunk, right?

2:24.2

Big, certainly a body can fit in there, maybe two or three.
