D4vd Murder Case: Celeste Rivas' Clothes Were Soiled Mess When She Was Found Dead
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Celeste Rivas was found dead wearing black leggings, a thong, socks, and a tube top, but her clothes arrived at the LAPD crime lab soaked, insect-covered, and heavily soiled, hindering forensic analysis.
- An LAPD trace evidence analyst testified that the damaged condition of the clothing prevented a reliable fabric comparison between a piece found in a trash bag and Celeste's leggings.
- The analyst visually noted material fragments on the leggings similar to those from an inflatable pool allegedly used by D4vd during the dismemberment, but no formal comparison was conducted.
- Prosecutors allege D4vd stabbed Celeste to death in his Hollywood Hills home in April 2025, then dismembered her and concealed her remains in his Tesla; D4vd has pleaded not guilty.
- Celeste's family has found the court proceedings emotionally challenging, particularly struggling to comprehend the allegation that D4vd used a chainsaw to dismember their daughter.
