Tesla Tomb: The D4vd and Celeste Rivas Story

Everything we covered this week on the D4VD investigation — the evidence analysis, the inner circle testimony, and the grand jury proceedings moving toward a potential indictment.

Inside D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental, investigators found disposal tools that were never used — a chainsaw still in its protective sheath, a burn cage incinerator capable of 1,600 degrees still boxed and unopened. Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismembered body was found in his Tesla, parked on a residential street. PI Steve Fischer's assessment: "Whatever happened here, this wasn't a finalized plan. She was not meant to be left in that Tesla. The...

The grand jury continues. The witnesses keep coming. And D4VD hasn't said a word. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was found in the trunk of D4VD's Tesla on September 8th, 2025, after sitting in a residential Los Angeles neighborhood for over a month in summer heat. Inside his Hollywood rental, investigators discovered a chainsaw with the protective sheath still on and a burn cage incinerator still in the box, never opened. PI Steve Fischer says the plan got upended. The cause of death remains officially "deferred" pending toxicology. But prosecutor Beth Silverman isn't waiting for a clean ruling—she's building a...

D4VD hasn't said a word publicly since Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was discovered in his Tesla. But the people around him are talking—whether they want to or not.

His manager Robert Morgenroth testified for days. He was reportedly overheard saying prosecutor Beth Silverman pressed him hard on why he didn't call police. His alleged response: it wasn't his responsibility. His job was to keep the tour going. A female witness didn't show up at all—and now faces a body attachment order to compel her testimony. She shares legal counsel with Morgenroth.
In Part 2 of this...

No eyewitnesses. No confession. A cause of death still listed as "deferred." And yet prosecutors are presenting to a grand jury with full authority to indict D4VD for murder in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

What exactly do they have? And what does it mean?

In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the physical evidence and investigative timeline in the D4VD case. We examine the unused chainsaw and boxed burn cage incinerator found inside his Hollywood Hills rental—and what PI Steve Fischer meant when he said "th...

This is the most significant update in the D4VD case since Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was discovered in September. Multiple sources now confirm the grand jury has full authority to indict—and prosecutor Beth Silverman is pushing for murder charges.

In this breakdown, we cover every major development from December 2025: Private investigator Steve Fischer's discovery of an unused chainsaw and a burn cage incinerator inside D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental. The disturbing grand jury testimony from manager Robert Morgenroth, who admitted his priority after learning about the body was continuing the tour—not contacting police. The female witn...

The investigation into the death of thirteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now in its third week of testimony, and the people closest to singer D4VD are beginning to fracture under pressure.

Robert Morgenroth, general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three consecutive days being questioned by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. Three days for a non-target witness is extraordinary. According to reports, Morgenroth was overheard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive about one...

A stunning new revelation in the D4VD case: private investigator Steve Fischer has confirmed that an industrial-grade "burn cage" incinerator was discovered inside the Hollywood Hills rental where singer D4VD was living when 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismembered remains were found in his Tesla. The incinerator, still unopened and in its original packaging, burns at 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit — 200 degrees hotter than what's required for human cremation. Fischer says the device was delivered under a false name but accepted at the residence, and notes that such incinerators are illegal to operate within Los Angeles County. The discovery comes as a gr...

Three cases. Three explosive developments. One of the nation’s most respected former FBI agents breaking down what it all means.

In this extended episode, Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze the newest revelations in the D4VD / Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation, the shocking identification of a second suspect, and the devastating domestic-violence failure surrounding the murders of Charity Beallis and her children.

A bombshell revelation from attorney Mark Geragos has shifted the entire landscape of the Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation: according to him, LAPD has identified a second suspect. Not the killer — but someone allegedly involved before, during, and after Celeste’s death, including the disposal and possible dismemberment of her body.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what investigators uncovered — and how they uncovered it.

Geragos says cellphone data, Tesla GPS, and social-media location tracking created a digital trail accurate “almost to the minute.” One key focus: a late-night trip to a remote are...

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now hearing testimony from individuals directly connected to singer D4VD, and the cracks in his inner circle are starting to show. This week, Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three days being grilled by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. According to reports, Morgenroth was heard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive in questioning why he never contacted police after learning a...

The grand jury investigating the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has entered its third week — and the pressure inside that room is reaching a breaking point. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to break down the newest developments as the people closest to D4VD begin to fracture under questioning.

This week, Robert Morgenroth — general manager of D4VD’s record label and president of his touring company — spent three straight days testifying. Three days for a non-target witness is extraordinary, and it signals something major: prosecutors believe he knows far more than he’s letting on. Accord...

A grand jury is actively hearing evidence in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — and what's coming out of that Los Angeles courthouse is raising serious questions about who knew what and when. Robert Morgenroth, the head of D4vd's record label Mogul Vision and president of his touring company, reportedly testified for three days. He was overheard telling his attorney that prosecutors grilled him on why he didn't call police — and his response was that he "didn't feel it was his responsibility" and "just wanted to continue with the tour." 

Now a female witness is facing arres...

The death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez — the 15-year-old found inside a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd — has rapidly become one of the most contradictory, fractured, and confusing investigations in recent memory. Not because the facts don’t exist… but because every public-facing statement contradicts the next.

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the widening gap between official LAPD statements, sealed court filings, forensic whispers, and the digital paper trail that suggests investigators are pursuing something far larger than the public has been told.
Early on, LAPD described the case simply as a death investigation. No suspects...

A missing 18-year-old. A sealed autopsy. A Tesla in a Los Angeles tow yard. And a discovery so disturbing the LAPD placed a security hold on the entire case file. Today, we’re breaking down exactly what happened to Celeste Rivas-Hernandez—without the rumors, without the noise, and without the spin.

Some early reporting claimed her remains were frozen. Police now insist they were not. So why are these two narratives circling each other? How can both be “true” depending on the frame? And what does the sealed medical examiner’s report actually tell us about what investigators aren’t say...

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we’re looking at two cases that have stunned the public with their contradictions, inconsistencies, and lack of action from the justice system.

In the Buzzard case, witness Tyler Brewer describes a home filled with paranoia: shifting stories about handing Melodee to strangers at a zoo, deleted accounts, talk of fake plates, accusations of undercover cops — and a pillow dressed in Melodee’s clothes surrounded by torn missing-poster photos. Ashlee’s erratic behavior continues, and Melodee is still missing.

A Los Angeles County grand jury has been hearing evidence in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were discovered in the trunk of singer D4vd's Tesla in September 2025. This is a major development — and in this video, I break down exactly what it means.

The grand jury met for several days in mid-November, with Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman — one of LA's top prosecutors for high-profile murder cases — calling multiple witnesses to testify. An LAPD detective has officially characterized this as "an investigation into murder." And according to law enforcement sources, D4vd is consid...

In the case of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, nothing is simple — not the timeline, not the condition of the remains, and certainly not the path forward for investigators. Celeste was missing for over a year before her decomposed, partially dismembered remains were found in the front trunk of a Tesla tied to public figure D4vd.

Early reporting suggested freezing; LAPD later clarified the body was not frozen when discovered, leaving open the possibility of prior storage. The autopsy is under a full security hold. A grand jury is reviewing evidence behind closed doors. Multiple people have lawyered up — and stil...

The death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez — the teen whose body was found inside a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd — has become one of the most contradictory and confusing investigations we’ve seen in years. Not because the facts aren’t there… but because the information being released to the public is wildly inconsistent.

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the fractures in the reporting, the contradictions in official statements, and the massive gap between what LAPD says publicly and what shows up in court filings behind the scenes.

Here’s the reality:
 Early on, LAPD publ...

The case of Celeste Rivas is turning darker by the hour. Major outlets now report that investigators are seeing forensic indicators consistent with cold storage, freezing, long-term concealment, and even possible dismemberment. And yet the person tied to the Tesla where she was found — a car abandoned on a hill — reportedly still hasn’t been interviewed.

Not questioned. Not sat down. Nothing.

That detail alone has sent shockwaves through the true crime world, because if accurate, it suggests investigators are holding their cards tight — and believe something bigger is at play.

Tonight, we dig into: Duration: 00:26:45

Two teenagers. Two families in collapse. Two investigations spiraling into deeper and darker territory with every new detail.

Tonight, we break down the cases of Anna Kepner and Celeste Rivas — not because they’re connected, but because they expose something grim about how teens slip through every possible crack before their lives end surrounded by secrecy, confusion, and chaos.

On one side, an eighteen-year-old girl hidden under a bed on a cruise ship. A minor stepbrother labeled a suspect. Family members attacking each other online. A stepmother pleading the Fifth. A timeline investigators have to reconstruct down...

This case just ripped open in a way nobody was prepared for. New reporting from multiple major outlets—citing law-enforcement sources with direct knowledge—now suggests investigators are dealing with something far darker, far more deliberate, and far more coordinated than anyone understood when 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was first found inside a Tesla registered to rising music artist D4vd.

According to these sources, forensic findings reportedly show indicators consistent with dismemberment and possible freezing or refrigeration before Celeste’s remains were placed in the vehicle. These claims have not been confirmed publicly by LAPD or the medica...

Some cases hit you in the gut, not because the details are complex, but because they’re painfully simple — and still, nothing happens. That’s the reality tonight as we look at the stories of Melodee Buzzard and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, two young girls caught in two different investigations that somehow keep producing the same baffling outcome: no real movement.

Nine-year-old Melodee is missing. Her mother, Ashlee — the last adult with her — spent days traveling across state lines in disguises, swapping licenses, behaving erratically, and allegedly holding a man in her home while threatening him with a blade. Every red...

The case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has just taken a dramatic turn — and not because the LAPD held a press conference. Not because charges were filed. Not because evidence was unsealed. The shift came from something much quieter, much more subtle, but far more consequential.

A single word.

According to multiple Los Angeles outlets — including NBC4, ABC7, and PEOPLE Magazine — anonymous law-enforcement sources now refer to singer D4vd as a suspect in the death investigation surrounding Celeste. LAPD hasn’t said it publicly. They haven’t confirmed it on the record. But inside the investigat...

It’s one of the most unsettling cases in recent memory: fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist D4vd, sealed inside a plastic bag, severely decomposed — and yet months later, the official cause and manner of death remain “undetermined.”

That one word has frozen the investigation in place. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. No clarity. Just a growing list of questions.

Tonight on Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the enormous gap between what the public sees and what...

The Los Angeles Police Department just confirmed that their “previous statement stands” in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — meaning, officially, this case is not being treated as a homicide. Celeste’s body was found in September, decomposing in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist David Anthony Burke, known as d4vd. But according to the LAPD, there’s “no evidence of criminal culpability beyond concealment of a body.” That’s a misdemeanor under California law.

In this in-depth breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks what that stunning statement really means — and why it might signal a system re...

Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to chart-topping singer D4vd — but what happened between the day she disappeared and the moment that car was opened has remained one of the most disturbing mysteries of 2025.

In this new Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski breakdown, we go through everything the private investigator on the case, Steve Fischer, has revealed so far — what’s confirmed, what’s speculation, and what could change everything.

From the Build-A-Bear certificate dated just days after Celeste was first reported missing… to a Six Flags roll...

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig deep into one of the most complex and misunderstood stories in music right now — the silence of D4vd.

When fifteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in a Tesla registered to the rising artist, the headlines erupted. Fans demanded answers. Social media exploded. But from D4vd himself? Nothing. No interviews. No statements. Just total, deliberate silence.

To some, that silence looks cold. To others, it looks calculated.
But what if it’s neither? What if it’s the only option left?

When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez vanished from her California home, nobody imagined she’d later be found inside a Tesla — registered to viral pop star d4vd. The question haunting everyone since: what was their relationship?

In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the connection that’s now at the center of one of the most disturbing Hollywood investigations of the year.
 Matching tattoos. An unreleased song called “Celeste.” Photos reportedly taken by him. A livestream clip that ends with the words “Delete everything.”
What do these pieces mean — and how close were they, really?

A private investigator’s shocking account is raising new questions in the ongoing investigation linked to musician D4vd and the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The PI says that after LAPD executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills property, he entered and found what he describes as “sadistic plans” related to Celeste — items he claims were overlooked by investigators. LAPD has not commented publicly on the specifics, but the allegation has stirred public concern over evidence handling and procedural rigor.

FBI Insider on D4VD & Celeste Rivas: The Mistakes, The Delays, The Timeline That Doesn’t Add Up

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing in April 2024. But five months later, she was caught on camera — alive and near home. Then, one year later to the day, her decomposed body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd.

The car had been sitting on a public street. Then it was ticketed. Then it was towed. No one checked it. No one noticed. Until the smell.

And now?

A private investigator says he found something horrifying inside a Hollywood Hills home once searched by LAPD — a home connected to the ongoing investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered inside a Tesla linked to musician D4vd.

The PI, hired by the home’s landlord, claims police left behind critical evidence — including what he described as “sadistic plans” detailing harm toward Celeste. The allegations have reignited debate about police procedure, chain of custody, and whether something vital was missed.

In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with retir...

When police found the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to the musician known as D4vd, it didn’t just expose a horrifying crime scene — it exposed a psychological collapse. A moment where fear, immaturity, and denial replaced logic.

In this episode, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine the psychology of impulsive concealment — why young people in crisis make catastrophic, irrational choices that they somehow believe will “fix” the problem.

Why would anyone think a body in a frunk wouldn’t be found? Why do young...

In this in-depth interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the latest developments in the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was found in the front trunk (frunk) of an impounded Tesla linked to the musician known as d4vd.

Weeks after the discovery, no one has been arrested, and the LA County Medical Examiner still lists Celeste’s cause and manner of death as “deferred.” Meanwhile, LAPD executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills property tied to the artist, seized electronics, and traced movements of the car—but no suspects...

There’s a private investigator in Los Angeles who says he found what police didn’t — inside the house tied to musician D4vd and the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
In this explosive new Hidden Killers report, Tony Brueski breaks down the claims of Steve Fiser, a licensed investigator who says drawers were left unopened, devices untouched, and handwritten notes detailing “what to do about Celeste” discovered after law enforcement cleared the scene.

If true, those findings could rewrite the official story of how Celeste’s body ended up in a Tesla abandoned in the Hollywoo...

A new controversy is swirling around the investigation tied to musician D4vd and the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

A private investigator says he found disturbing items — including writings he described as “sadistic plans” — inside a Hollywood Hills home after LAPD had already completed a warrant search. He claims police left behind evidence that could prove crucial to understanding what happened.

In this episode, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer take a hard look at the facts. How are search warrants handled? Could officers have legally left items behind? And what are the...

The death of Celeste Rivas, a missing 15-year-old girl found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to music artist d4vd, has ignited a storm of speculation—and misinformation. But what do we actually know? What’s been confirmed by law enforcement? And what’s been dangerously fabricated?

In this deep dive, we untangle the viral myths from the verified facts. No, she wasn’t dismembered. No, pregnancy was not listed on her autopsy. No, there is no confirmed relationship between Celeste and d4vd. What we do have is a tragic recovery, a deeply decomposed body, an...

A teenage girl. A viral pop star. A Tesla. A fake 911 call. Is this a murder case—or is it something even more calculated?

In this full-length Hidden Killers investigation, we go deep into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. The vehicle sat for weeks on a public street before being impounded. The odor led to the discovery of human remains. Since then, the internet has exploded with speculation, assumptions, and unconfirmed theories—but the LAPD has not made an arrest, and caus...

When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas was found dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd, the public wanted answers. Fast. But weeks later, there’s still no cause of death. No suspect. No charges.

And in that silence, the noise has taken over.

In this longform breakdown, we dig into how the lack of official updates has created a vacuum—one where every lyric, property transfer, tattoo, and prank 911 call gets inflated to “evidence.” From the swatting call to the online rumor mill, we’re not just talking about the case—we’re talking about...

When pop artist D4vd transferred two Houston homes to his mother’s name in September 2025, just days after police searched his L.A. rental and as the Celeste Rivas Hernandez death investigation deepened, the internet exploded with theories. Some called it a cover-up. Others called it smart legal protection. So which is it?

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down exactly what happened with those deed transfers, why the timing matters, and what it could mean from a legal and financial perspective. This is not a “guilty or innocent” story — it’s a story ab...
