Socal’s teenager, Celeste Rivas, has disappeared. She was found dead in Tesla de D4VD

The mystery deepened this week surrounding the case of a girl whose decomposition body was found in an abandoned Tesla registered with the singer D4VD.

The discovery made the headlines earlier this month. On Wednesday, the authorities identified the daughter as Celeste Rivas, 15, a resident of the inner empire who was missing in April 2024.

Many things remain vague, especially why the Tesla was found in the street and supplied and how the girl came inside. The cause of death has not yet been released, but his death is considered a homicide.

It is also not known what connection – if necessary – the singer had to the girl. Investigators from the Los Angeles police department examine photos as part of a broader investigation into the location of Rivas in the period preceding his death, according to two sources. More specifically, they examine her links with the singer. There is no person of interest at this stage because the death of Rivas has not yet been deemed homicide.

Police investigate and say that D4VD cooperated. The representatives of the 20 -year -old singer, the real name of which are David Anthony Burke, did not respond to requests for comments.

Two sources of application of the law told Times that the investigators were trying to determine the rivas movements before the discovery of his body. They examine the photos published online and try to determine if there is a link between Rivas and D4VD, said sources, which spoke under the cover of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly.

Investigators served a mandate in a house in the Hollywood hills on Wednesday where the singer lived, added the sources.

How was it discovered?

According to police, the seriously decomposed body of the girl was found in the vehicle in Hollywood Tow on September 8 after being seized. Someone noticed a foul odor from the vehicle and the detectives arrived in the towing courtyard to investigate.

Sources of application of the law familiar with the investigation, but not authorized to discuss the case publicly, Times told the vehicle that the vehicle had been abandoned in the Hollywood hills five days before its impoundment.

The detectives served a search warrant on Wednesday evening in a house in a high -end district on Doheny Drive, north of Sunset Boulevard on Wednesday. The sources of application of the law knowing the case but not authorized to speak publicly said that the detective had received various elements, including electronics and computers.

Los Angeles detectives are also trying to trace its last days.

The car, with a textbody from Texas, had been abandoned and the remains were contained in a bag, according to a source of application of the law.

Who is the girl?

The medical medical examiner of the County of Los Angeles determined that the remains were of Rivas, which was raised disappeared on April 5, 2024, according to the Riverside County Sheriff.

The medical examiner said that Rivas had a tattoo on his right index that said “Shhh …” and a woman who identified herself as the girl’s mother contacted TMZ publication to say that she thought that the body was that of her daughter. Recent photos of Burke seem to show a “Shhh” tattoo on its right index.

Rivas wore an upper tube and small black leggings when her body was found, according to the medical forensic office. She had wavy black hair, a metal earring and a yellow metal chain bracelet.

“The deceased was found seriously broken down inside a vehicle,” reads a statement from the Legalist’s office. “She seems to have been died inside the vehicle for a long time before being found.”

Gisel Vera, who identified as a parent of Celeste and co -founded a GoFundme page to collect funds for his funeral, said that the family has made no immediate comments on the case.

Friday, the Rivas family could not be joined to comment. They did not respond to the door of their home in Lake Elsenore and the neighbors said they had not seen them recently. Last February, posters of the missing person covered the quiet residential street where Celeste Rivas lived with his family. It was one of the first times that the neighbors remember having seen the girl’s face on a poster.

But it would not be the last time that she was missing.

“I recognized it because of his big curly hair,” said neighbor Kayleigh Cortez. “I would see her walk with her backpack on her way to school.” The adolescent girl was missing on the day of Valentine’s Day 2024 at the age of 13.

The Sheriff department of the County Riverside confirmed that Rivas had been missing last year but provided any additional information on the case and referred all the questions to the LAPD.

And D4VD?

As the questions around the case have turned online, the authorities stressed that Burke, whose stage name is D4VD and is an artist of a posting panel, cooperates with the investigators. The representatives of the musician did not respond to requests for comments even if the musician canceled a recent concert during his national tour.

Burke grew up in Houston and collaborated with the Kali Uchis musicians, Stray Kids’ Hyunjin, Laufey and 21 Savage. He also created a hymn for the “Fortnite” game.

Burke is on a national tour to promote his first album, “Withered”, since early August. He played in Boston, Montreal and Toronto at the end of August and early September, he had stops in Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis. The American tour leg should end in Los Angeles in September. The national promoter of the Goldenvoice tour did not respond to requests for comments and the tour should resume in Europe in October.

The Tourné du Monde withered includes themes of death and memory. Fans entering the Burke show are welcomed by a coffin and a guest book, where they can make condolences to a character that Burke sometimes takes up in his performances and clips. Part of the uniform of this character includes a shirt covered with bloody hands footprints and a headband.

“Withered” was released on Darkroom and Interscope Records in April. The album drew n ° 13 on the Billboard 200 and has more than 521 million flows on Spotify. On September 7, in his latest article on social networks, Burke announced on Instagram that he was going to drop a luxury version of the album.
