Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 13-year-old girl from Lake Elsinore, was reported missing after disappearing from her family residence, situated 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Celeste is described as being 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing approximately 120 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, she was last seen wearing a black shirt, gray pants, and Hello Kitty sandals. Family members and close sources have mentioned that she had a boyfriend known as “David.”
As she navigated her early teenage years, Celeste connected with singer D4vd on social media. Enthralled by the rising star, she ran away to Hollywood in hopes of meeting him. Eventually, the police located Celeste and returned her safely to her home in Lake Elsinore.
A month later, in May, David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd, picked Celeste up in a Tesla to go to the movies. She never returned home after that outing.
Residents in the Hollywood Hills grew concerned over a dusty 2023 Tesla Model Y with Texas plates that had been parked on their street for a month, prompting them to report the vehicle to the authorities.
Shortly thereafter, employees at Hollywood Tow noticed a foul odor emanating from the Tesla and alerted the police. Upon investigation, officers discovered human remains wrapped in plastic and concealed in a bag inside the car’s front trunk, also known as the frunk.
Police identify the person/victim as female, 5 feet 2, weighing 71 pounds, with wavy black hair, wearing a tube top and black leggings.
Reports later state the remains are severely decomposed, partially dismembered, and identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the child who was reported missing more than a year ago.
Authorities report the Tesla is owned by singer/songwriter D4vd, who is reported to be living in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood near where the Tesla was abandoned.
