Missing Teen’s Body Found in D4vd’s Car: A Year Later, Questions Remain

Over a year after the discovery, the tragic case of a missing California teenager whose remains were found in a car registered to popular singer D4vd continues to prompt questions. On September 8, 2024, police in Los Angeles discovered the body of Celeste Rivas, then 15, inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard. Rivas, who was 13 at the time of her disappearance, had been missing since April 5, 2024.
The vehicle, bearing a Texas license plate, was registered to 20-year-old David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. Authorities confirmed that the singer cooperated with the investigation following the grim discovery. The car had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills five days prior to the finding, and subsequently towed.
At the time of the discovery, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office provided a description of the remains, noting a ‘Shhh’ tattoo on the right index finger. Law enforcement sources indicated the body was not intact and suggested the girl had been deceased for an extended period. Both the cause and exact time of her death remain unknown, leaving a haunting unresolved aspect to the case.
D4vd, known for hits like ‘Here With Me’ and ‘Romantic Homicide’, was on tour when the discovery was made, leading to the cancellation of a scheduled Seattle performance. While the initial events unfolded in late 2024, the investigation’s progress and any new developments regarding this high-profile case remain a subject of public interest.
