"Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just one of the kids in her neighborhood in Lake Elsinore, an Inland Empire community that for generations has drawn young families looking for a piece of suburbia far from the high prices and drama of the big city. She visited the corner store almost every day with her friends, wearing a backpack and her usual long, curly black hair. She got candy, soda and Takis. She was a familiar face to neighbors and local business owners."
"Then in early September, the Los Angeles Police Department announced her decomposing body had been found inside the trunk of a Tesla owned by singer D4vd. The vehicle was found parked on a street in an upscale Hollywood Hills neighborhood where 20-year-old D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was renting a home. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office said Celeste was declared dead on Sept. 8, one day after her birthday."
A 15-year-old girl from Lake Elsinore repeatedly ran away during 2024 and was reported missing multiple times by her family. Neighbors and relatives searched, posted pleas, and sought surveillance footage as she intermittently returned home. In early September, police discovered her decomposing body in the trunk of a Tesla linked to singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, in an upscale Hollywood Hills neighborhood. The medical examiner declared her dead Sept. 8, about one day after her birthday, and authorities believe she had been deceased for weeks prior to discovery while investigators work to connect events and locate additional leads.
