Disturbing Details Emerge After Body of Missing Teenage Girl Found in Rapper’s Tesla

Last week, a dismembered body was discovered in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla belonging to rapper D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.

The remains have just been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing for over a year.

Police are currently investigating her death as a homicide.

Burke is said to be cooperating with police, but they say he is not a suspect in the case.

At this time, it’s unclear if his car had been stolen or if he had any involvement with the tragic, suspicious death of the young girl. Nothing has been confirmed.

However, here’s where things start to get really disturbing…

David Burke got famous for tracks like “Romantic Homicide.”

Celeste’s mother also says that she had a boyfriend named David.

Here’s everything we know so far:

NEW👀: Officials have confirmed the identity of a 15-year-old girl whose remains were discovered in the front trunk of a seized Tesla at a towing facility in Hollywood. The car belongs to musician D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.

The victim, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been reported missing from Lake Elsinore in April 2024, when she was 13. Authorities described her as about 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing around 71 pounds, with dark wavy hair; she was found in a tube top and had a unique tattoo on her right index finger. A missing persons alert noted she was last spotted wearing gray trousers, a dark hoodie, Hello Kitty footwear, and a cap.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is collaborating with the Los Angeles Police Department on the matter, classifying it as a homicide probe. On September 8, LAPD officers arrived at the Mansfield Avenue lot following complaints of a bad smell from the vehicle, which had been hauled from an abandoned spot in the Hollywood Hills near Doheny Drive about a week earlier. Locals recalled the dusty, wrecked car lingering in the area for days.

D4vd, famous for tracks like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me,” was touring at the time, with a show in Seattle on September 16 and an upcoming one in Los Angeles on September 20.

Update: The dismembered body found in the Tesla belonging to rapper D4dv (David Anthony Burke) has been identified as one of our missing: Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 15 YO. She had been missing for over 1 year (4/24) from Lake Elsinore, California. What all happened to this young girl, and how did she end up in the rapper’s trunk? The cause of death remains undetermined. Burke, 20, is cooperating with authorities and has not yet been named as a suspect. David and Celeste apparently knew each other. Celeste’s mom says she was dating someone named David, but never saw him. Celeste was only 13 when she went missing. Burke was dropped by his main 2 sponsors, after Celeste’s remains were found in his Tesla. Investigation is continuing. I will stay on it.

In addition to having a boyfriend named David, Celeste had a tattoo that matched one of David’s.

The tattoo read “Shhh…” and is apparently fairly common among celebrities.

The New York Post reported:

California authorities have ID’d the dismembered teen found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to singer D4vd as Celeste Rivas, a 15-year-old girl with the same tattoo as the artist — and who once had a boyfriend named David, according to her mom.

Rivas’ mutilated body was found last week in the trunk of a Tesla sedan sitting in an impound lot in Hollywood Hills, a car registered to the 20-year-old singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.

The girl was identified as Rivas, who went missing from Lake Elsinor, Calif., in 2024, Rivas’ mom told TMZ.

She also had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh…” — similar to one D4vd has, according to TMZ, although other celebs have the same ink, including Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan.

All of this is very suspicious…

However, the most disturbing detail of this case yet has to do with a leaked song from back in 2023.

In it, David sings about his love for a girl…named Celeste.

Per TMZ:

D4vdprofesses his love for someone named Celeste in one of his leaked songs … and it’s the same name as the 15-year-old girl who was found dead in his Tesla.

The track features some pretty interesting lyrics … and there are two mentions of “Celeste.”

D4vd sings … “Oh, Celeste / The girl with my name tattooed on her chest / Smell her on my clothes like cigarettes // I hear her voice each time I take a breath / I’m obsessed.”

The next verse also features the name … “Oh, Celeste / Afraid you’ll only love me when undressed / But you look so damn gorgeous in that dress / Missing you so much makes me depressed / But I digress, because.”

When the song leaked in December 2023 it was titled “Celeste_Demo unfin.”

The timing is interesting … we talked to the mother of Celeste Rivas, whose chopped up and decomposing corpse was found in D4vd’s impounded Tesla last week in a Hollywood tow yard, and she told us her daughter went missing in April 2024 and had a boyfriend named David.

Just a coincidence?…

What do you think?
