In this Current Affairs episode of Love Murder, Jessie and Andie cover the tragic case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in 2024, Celeste’s remains were discovered in September 2025 in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to singer-songwriter d4vd. We review the facts known so far: the discovery of the vehicle, the investigation into her disappearance, the unanswered questions that remain, and the community’s call for justice.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
