New Surveillance Footage of D4vd’s Tesla BLOWS The Case Wide Open | Celeste Rivas Hernandez Case
The Silence is Broken: New Surveillance Footage Reveals Who Drove the Tesla Before Celeste Rivas Hernandez Was Found Dead

For weeks, the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old found dead inside the trunk of R&B singer David’s Tesla, has been shrouded in a bizarre, unsettling silence. No police updates, no statements from the singer, and no noise from his powerhouse attorney, Blair Burke (who represents high-profile clients like Harvey Weinstein and Kanye West).
But that silence has been shattered. New surveillance footage, obtained by a private investigator working independently of the LAPD, captures the Tesla being driven for the last time before it was abandoned on a Hollywood Hills street with Celeste’s body inside.
This footage is being called the biggest break yet in the case.
The PI Breakthrough: Video Evidence Emerges
The shocking development was revealed by private investigator Steve Fiser on NewsNation’s “Banfield” show. Fiser claims he has found video evidence of the car being driven away from David’s mansion and left at the location where it baked in the sun for weeks.
The Driver is Visible: Crucially, the footage reportedly shows the driver’s face clearly. Fiser noted that the car window was rolled down “half to three-quarters of the way,” making the person behind the wheel identifiable.
Distinctive Clues: The identity of the driver is further supported by photos Fiser reportedly obtained from just 12 hours earlier showing a person at David’s house wearing the “same distinctive clothing.”
The Date and the Departure: The video is dated July 29th—the last day David was reportedly in Los Angeles before embarking on his tour. Fiser is “certain” that the surveillance video captures the final drive before the car was abandoned with Celeste’s body concealed inside the front trunk (frunk).
The Bizarre Details: Air Fresheners and Open Windows
The circumstances surrounding the final drive are highly suspicious, suggesting an attempt to conceal a deteriorating situation.
The Open Window: Fiser pointed out that the driver had the window rolled down despite the short distance and the relatively cool 77-78 degree weather, suggesting there was an “offensive odor” inside the car.
The Air Freshener Clue: Fiser noticed that when the car was towed, a Christmas tree air freshener was hanging from the rearview mirror. This air freshener was not visible in the surveillance footage of the car leaving the mansion, leading Fiser to speculate that it was placed there to “mask it for when they had to move the car again.”
The Uncomfortable Discovery Inside the Mansion
The private investigation didn’t stop at the Tesla. Fiser was reportedly allowed access to David’s mansion by the landlord, where he made an extremely unsettling discovery.
Tools of Concealment: Fiser stated that he saw “expensive items” inside the house that were “hard to think about” because they would be specifically used if someone “wanted to get rid of a body.”
LAPD Knowledge: While the LAPD did not seize these items, Fiser confirms they “photographed them.” He stressed that there was “no other purpose for them at a house like this,” strongly suggesting evidence of intent or pre-planning.
The Clock is Ticking for Justice
Fiser, who has turned all the video and photographic evidence over to the LAPD, is urging the public to be patient, choosing not to reveal the driver’s name to avoid interfering with the investigation.
However, the conclusion is now clear: Somebody parked that Tesla where it was abandoned, and somebody somewhere knows exactly what happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The question is no longer if a crime was committed, but whether the LAPD will soon make an arrest and put a name to the face behind the wheel. Celeste Rivas Hernandez deserves answers, and this story is far from over. As Fiser warns, the truth isn’t just serious, “it’s drop dead serious.”
