Celeste Rivas' rotting undergarments discovered with her body in D4vd's Tesla
Key Points:
- During the preliminary hearing for singer D4vd (David Burke), LAPD criminalists detailed the discovery of Celeste Rivas’ heavily soiled, insect-infested, and wet clothing found with her body, including a Victoria’s Secret thong and Forever 21 tube top.
- Gruesome evidence was presented showing Rivas’ decapitated and mutilated body, with dismembered limbs found in trash bags and her torso and head in a body bag inside a car trunk.
- Investigators found a strong odor of decomposition in the Tesla where the body was found, along with multiple air fresheners, and blood evidence was discovered in Burke’s garage.
- Testimony revealed that D4vd earned $2.77 million from his record deal with Interscope Records in 2025, the same year Rivas was allegedly murdered.
- Burke faces charges including first-degree murder with special circumstances, lewd acts with a minor, and mutilation of remains; prosecutors allege he ordered Rivas via Uber to his home, stabbed her, and allowed her to bleed to death. The hearing will decide if he proceeds to trial.
