Listen Later

This episode details the harrowing criminal case against singer-songwriter David Anthony Burke, professionally known as D4vd, who is accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. After the victim’s dismembered remains were discovered in the "frunk" of his abandoned Tesla, forensic evidence revealed an array of air fresheners and insect activity used to mask the scent of decay. Prosecutors allege the artist killed the minor to prevent her from exposing their illegal sexual relationship, which he feared would destroy his lucrative music career. The episode outlines a chilling timeline involving a premeditated cover-up, including the purchase of power tools and cleaning supplies, as well as the disposal of evidence in remote areas. While the defense challenges the forensic links and investigative procedures, the artist faces severe charges of first-degree murder and sexual abuse. Ultimately, the narrative contrasts the defendant's rise to stardom with the violent death of a young girl whose family continues to seek justice.
