dailyloe.com – The death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas continues to grip Los Angeles with an unresolved investigation. Her remains were found in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd seven months ago. The case’s slow progress is fueling public frustration and speculation. Private investigator Steve Fischer alleges records are sealed to prevent ‘public outrage.’
Celeste Rivas, then aged 14, reportedly went missing from Lake Elsinore in February 2024. Her severely decomposed remains were found on 8 September 2025. They were discovered inside the front trunk of a black 2023 Tesla Model. The car was in a Los Angeles impound lot after being abandoned in the Hollywood Hills.
Rivas’ remains were found inside two cadaver bags. Employees at the impound lot noticed a foul smell from the vehicle. The car was registered to singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd. This discovery placed D4vd directly in the spotlight of the investigation.
Internet sleuths uncovered photographs, matching tattoos, and an old Twitch stream clip. This evidence suggested a relationship between the singer and Rivas. D4vd was 20 years old at the time of these alleged connections. Some claims said their connection dated back to when Rivas was as young as 10.
These specific claims about their early connection remain unverified. Fans had also speculated about a link between D4vd and the case. One user named Ponzalo urged D4vd to release a song about the ‘missing girl.’ The discovery of Rivas’ body has devastated D4vd’s career.
D4vd was once considered a rising star after viral hits like ‘Here With Me.’ He also gained fame from the song ‘Romantic Homicide.’ He abruptly cancelled his tour and withdrew from a Lollapalooza Brazil performance. The performance was scheduled for 2026.
Close associates have been called to testify before a Los Angeles grand jury. Neo Langston is among those who have been called to testify. Meanwhile, Aysia Collins has publicly stated she is ‘working in silence.’ She is working to get justice for Celeste Rivas.
As of now, D4vd remains out of the public spotlight. Some Reddit users allege he is slowly returning to public view. These users also claim he is active on the internet. The investigation continues with records allegedly sealed to avoid public reaction.
Private investigator Steve Fischer made the claim about sealed records in November 2025. He alleges Rivas’ medical records remain sealed to prevent ‘public outrage.’ His criticism underscores concern over the lack of official updates. The case remains unresolved despite its high-profile nature.[]
