The Celeste Rivas Hernandez Case | Runaway Found Dead in Tesla Trunk

D4vd was residing in a home rented by his manager, Josh Marshal. However, after the police executed a search warrant there, looking for traces of blood, D4vd opted not to continue living in the $20,000-per-month home.

The residence was rented from the owner, Mladen Trifunovic. Although Marshal signed the lease in February, Trifunovic was unaware that D4vd was living there. Following the police search, Trifunovic stated they no longer desired to reside there, prompting them to terminate the lease.

Trifunovic says he doesn’t know what was found or what kind of tests were conducted in the house.

Currently, police are investigating around the vicinity where a Tesla, containing a dismembered and decomposing body in its front trunk, had been parked before being towed away. They are also seeking surveillance footage.

The rental property is equipped with security cameras at all entry points, in the backyard, and along the street, ensuring that anyone entering or exiting the house is recorded.

Even as police investigate, photos are circulating alleging Celeste was with D4vd at his concert in Silver Springs, Maryland, on August 24.

If the timeline holds true, images from these cameras detail the period from August 24 up until when the dismembered body was discovered in D4vd’s Tesla on September 8, one day after the victim’s 15th birthday.

The Tesla reportedly was on the street for a month before being labeled as abandoned on September 3 and subsequently towed to the impound lot on September 5.

The footage shows a person looking very much like Celeste Rivas on the balcony to the side and back of the stage. This is an area usually reserved for backstage pass access only.

Her hair is the same style as Celeste’s, and she is wearing a black tube top and ripped blue jeans. Even though police haven’t given out much information about the body found in the Tesla, they have said she was wearing a black tube top and ripped jeans.
