A rising music star is now facing one of the most serious charges in the US justice system.
D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) has been charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Prosecutors allege the two were in a relationship - and claim he killed her to protect his career, after fears their connection could be exposed. Her remains were later discovered inside a Tesla linked to Burke, months after she was last seen.
He now faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances, including allegations of financial gain and killing a potential witness, meaning he could face life without parole, or even the death penalty if convicted.
Burke has pleaded not guilty, and his defense team says he is not responsible for her death.
In this episode, we take you back to the beginning of the case - who D4vd is, who Celeste was, and what investigators say happened.
Plus, Luke Kenton joins us to break down the latest developments from inside the courtroom, the evidence prosecutors are building - and what happens next.
