D4vd Murder Case: Celeste Rivas Was Not Pregnant When She Died
Key Points:
- Celeste Rivas was not pregnant at the time of her death, clarifying confusion caused by an amendment to her death certificate, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
- Prosecutors revealed an 18-month history of disturbing text messages between Celeste and David Anthony Burke (D4vd), including discussions about pregnancy scares and an abortion when Celeste was 13.
- The relationship deteriorated by April 2025, with Celeste threatening to expose D4vd, who allegedly fatally stabbed her and dismembered her body after she visited his Hollywood Hills home.
- Celeste's remains were found months later in two bags inside D4vd's Tesla, and a judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence for D4vd to stand trial on charges including murder and continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14.
