Inside Sources Reveal Shocking New Information In D4vd Case

Celeste Rivas Case: Troubled Home, Missing Teen, and David’s Tesla Discovery

The case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, found dead in the trunk of singer David’s Tesla, continues to send shockwaves through Los Angeles and beyond. What began as whispers about a runaway teen has unfolded into a chilling investigation that raises more questions than answers.

From the beginning, law enforcement noted one disturbing pattern: Celeste had a history of running away. Records show she went missing several times in early 2024. In January, she vanished from her home in Lake Elsinore — a small city 70 miles from Los Angeles — before being found by police in Hollywood. This distance was no small detail; it suggested Celeste was actively gravitating toward the city where David himself was living.

But that was just the beginning. Through the spring and summer of 2024, Celeste ran away at least two more times, each disappearance leaving her family desperate and increasingly fearful. By May of that year, her mother had her last known contact with her. Weeks turned into months of silence, and soon, the nightmare every parent dreads became a chilling reality.

Celeste’s sister reportedly canvassed their neighborhood, even visiting a liquor store near their home to search for leads. The owner confirmed she came in, desperate to check surveillance footage after Celeste vanished yet again. On camera, Celeste could be seen walking, then running across the street to get into a waiting car. The image was too blurry to make out the model or driver — but it confirmed what the family already feared. She wasn’t just leaving; someone was picking her up.

Investigators now believe Celeste carried fake IDs that made her appear older than her 14 years. Those IDs may have granted her access to clubs and events alongside David, fueling speculation about just how entangled she was in his world. The tragedy is that while her documents painted her as an adult, in reality, she was a young girl just days away from turning 15 when her decomposed body was finally discovered.

Her remains were found in early September 2025 inside David’s abandoned Tesla, towed to an impound lot after sitting for three days on a residential street in the Hollywood Hills. Authorities say her body was badly decomposed — raising questions about when she actually died. With Los Angeles heat baking the trunk of a black car, decomposition could have accelerated rapidly, but it still doesn’t explain everything.

Even more chilling is a concert video from late August. Fans circulated footage of David performing in Silver Springs, Maryland, where he acknowledges a woman in the balcony. Some insist the girl in black resembled Celeste — down to the tube top later described by the medical examiner as the clothing she was found in. If true, this would mean Celeste was alive as late as August 24th, shrinking the window of her death to just days before the Tesla was abandoned. But a source close to the case insists the woman wasn’t her. If that’s the case, investigators remain in the dark.

Adding to the unease, both LAPD and the coroner’s office have been unusually silent. In two decades of covering high-profile deaths, veteran reporters note that someone always talks — detectives, medical examiners, even anonymous insiders. But this time, nothing. No leaks, no hints, no suspects announced. Either authorities are building an airtight case behind closed doors… or they simply have no leads at all.

And that’s where the mystery deepens. A teenager from a troubled home, running away again and again, somehow connected to one of music’s rising stars. A body left in plain sight, hidden in the trunk of a Tesla on a busy street. Fake IDs, nightclub sightings, and whispers of a secret relationship. Every detail feels like a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit.

What we know for certain is heartbreaking: Celeste’s body has been returned to her family. A girl who once dreamed of escaping has now been silenced forever, and the questions surrounding her death grow louder each day.

Was she killed before David’s car was abandoned? Who drove her away from home that March morning caught on surveillance? And most importantly — why has law enforcement remained so quiet in the face of mounting public outrage?

For now, the silence speaks louder than any official statement.
