FBI CONFIRMS That D4vd Was Framed By The Real Killer!
From ‘Romantic Homicide’ to Framed: New Evidence Vindicates D4VD, But Who Stole His Tesla?
The court of public opinion had already delivered its verdict. When the decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered in the trunk of indie pop star D4VD’s Tesla on September 8th, 2025, the narrative wrote itself. A rising star with a hit song titled “Romantic Homicide,” a secret relationship with an underage girl, and a web of damning coincidences—it was a story that seemed ripped from a dark Hollywood script.
But as the LAPD delved deeper, the case that had seemed so open-and-shut began to unravel, revealing a far more complex and sinister plot. New evidence has not only cleared D4VD of murder but has pointed the finger at an unknown individual who may have stolen his car to frame him for a horrific crime.
The Case Against D4VD: A Mountain of Coincidences
Initially, the evidence against 20-year-old David Burke, known professionally as D4VD, was staggering.
The Discovery: Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing since April 2024, was found in his Tesla, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for weeks.
The Personal Connection: Celeste’s mother confirmed her daughter was dating someone named “David.” The two also shared a distinctive matching tattoo on their right index fingers.
Digital Footprints: Resurfaced Discord chats and photos appeared to show the two interacting when Celeste was as young as 12. An unreleased demo track by D4VD titled “Celeste” also surfaced online.
Art Imitating Life?: Fans and critics were quick to point out the chilling parallels between the case and his music. His breakout hit, “Romantic Homicide,” and the music video for his song “One More Dance”—which depicted a body being dragged and hidden in a trunk—seemed eerily prophetic.
The fallout was immediate. Brands like Crocs and Hollister dropped him, his record label postponed his album, and he canceled his world tour. Publicly, D4VD was a monster.
The Investigation Turns: Cracks in the Narrative
While social media acted as judge and jury, investigators remained cautious. The first major crack in the prosecution’s potential case came from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
No Signs of Trauma
Forensic scientist Dr. Amy Santoro’s analysis of the preliminary autopsy findings was a game-changer. The report showed no signs of physical trauma—no strangulation, no stab wounds, no evidence of a violent struggle. This immediately shifted the investigation’s focus from a violent homicide to the possibility of an accidental death, such as a drug overdose. If D4VD didn’t physically harm her, the charge of murder would be nearly impossible to prove.
The question was no longer “Did D4VD kill Celeste?” but rather, “How did her body end up in his car?”
The Alibi and the Stolen Tesla
The timeline provided D4VD with a rock-solid defense. During August and September 2025, when the Tesla was sitting abandoned on a Hollywood street, D4VD had a verifiable alibi. He was actively touring North America, with ticket sales, social media posts, and travel records placing him hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles away from Los Angeles. It would have been physically impossible for him to have placed her body in the car during that period.
Then came the bombshell: investigators confirmed the Tesla had been reported missing or stolen approximately a week before it was towed. The car was not in D4VD’s possession.
Suddenly, the narrative flipped. D4VD wasn’t a killer trying to dispose of a body in his own car—a ridiculously clumsy plan for a vehicle equipped with cameras and GPS. Instead, he appeared to be the victim of an elaborate and malicious setup.
A Targeted Attack: The Swatting Incident
Further evidence suggests someone was actively trying to frame the young artist. On September 18th, just days after Celeste’s body was identified, police in Texas were dispatched to D4VD’s parents’ home following a false report of a shooting. This “swatting” incident, a dangerous form of harassment, was seen by investigators as a highly suspicious attempt to intimidate his family and further implicate him in criminal activity.
Vindicated, But Questions Remain
While LAPD sources have confirmed D4VD is no longer a murder suspect, the case is far from closed. The tragic death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez remains a mystery.
Who stole the Tesla?
Who placed Celeste’s body in the trunk?
Was the goal to frame D4VD, or was his car simply a convenient place to hide a body?
The investigation continues, now focused on who had access to the vehicle and a motive to either harm Celeste or destroy D4VD’s life. For David Burke, the path forward is uncertain. He has been cleared by the law, but overcoming the damage to his reputation in the court of public opinion will be his next great challenge.
