WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS GRAPHIC DETAILS INVOLVING THE SEXUAL ABUSE, MURDER AND MUTILATION OF A CHILD; LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED... On September 5, 2025, a seemingly abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills.  Within a couple days, tow yard employees couldn't get past the outrageously pungent odor emanating from the Tesla, along with colonies of insects making themselves at home in and around it.  The workers couldn't be sure what the smell was, but they knew.  The LAPD was contacted, the smell was reported and when officers arrived and opened the front end cargo area of the vehicle, they discovered two body bags containing dismembered human remains.  Whose remains were these?  Who did this Tesla belong to?  And how did all this end up in a tow yard in Hollywood?  This is the first part of a two part series on the 2025 murder of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.SOURCES:https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-trial-52aced35d8cccc3a3d6445b6d13db6a5https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-burke-hearing-celeste-rivas-hernandez-65647a24c7808bebc0b6ff9040f50615https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-timeline-100e62a0e54ca5d5786d5f7d1570c33chttps://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-trial-52aced35d8cccc3a3d6445b6d13db6a5https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-charges-celeste-rivas-hernandez-a5ae08c1dda921dad1750d3ceda16c47https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-what-to-know-7d278e5f2fc1e3c4bce9dabb0bdc2098https://abc7ny.com/story/celeste-rivas-hernandez-was-not-pregnant-when-she-killed-prosecutors-say/19600998/https://abcnews.com/US/d4vd-murder-case-timeline-investigation-14-year-girls/story?id=132319472https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-killing-burke-32ca2cc61ca6b7db8e3170888d3dacd4https://apnews.com/article/d4vd-suspect-celeste-rivas-hernandez-f58e2983916aaf3340cc48b7e711118fhttps://apnews.com/article/d4vd-celeste-rivas-hernandez-lake-elsinore-d3ed2bdb9f023041226f13912bc1f4faLINKS:Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapodPayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapodMerchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcastFacebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreamingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=enX:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapodTikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod Cash App:  $KDpodcastCosta Oil Las Vegas: Oil Change Service Las Vegas, NV Costa Oil Instagram: Costa Oil Las Vegas (@costaoillasvegas) • Instagram photos and videos Costa Oil Facebook:  Facebook Support the show

Twelve million dollars went through d4vd's accounts between 2022 and 2025 — management fees, recording costs, legal expenses, brand partnerships, and a twenty-thousand-dollar monthly rental in the Hollywood Hills. His mother Colleen made the financial decisions. His label terminated him in December 2025, four months before his arrest. By August 31, 2026, a Los Angeles court determined the singer qualifies as indigent. Blair Berk, the Hollywood crisis attorney who built her career representing Harvey Weinstein and Mel Gibson, withdrew from the case at the same hearing where Burke pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances. Her co-counsel Marilyn Bednarski told Rolling Stone it was Burke's decision and there's "no conflict" — then declined to explain how he qualifies for a public defender. The LA County Public Defender's Office took over. Deputy Public Defenders Walid Kandeel and Lisa Anne Roth are now responsible for a case where the DA says death remains on the table. This episode traces the money, examines what Blair Berk was actually built for, and asks whether the public defender's office might be the better bet when the state is deciding whether to end your life.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do you design a modern Los Angeles noir without simply recreating the past?In this episode of Decorating Pages, I talk with Production Designer Meghan C. Rogers about creating the visual world of Season 2 of Apple TV's Sugar, starring Colin Farrell. Meghan joined the series for its second season and pushed the show's established noir language further, using architecture, texture, lighting and locations to make Los Angeles itself part of John Sugar's story.We get into the massive Indonesia sequence built at the Paramount water tank, including the engineering, water-safety and fire requirements behind a set that had to work both inside and outside. Meghan also takes us through the Hotel Del Corazon and its Casablanca-inspired circular bar, Sugar's mid-century hideaway in the Hollywood Hills, the boxing gym, K-Town locations, homeless encampments created beneath some of LA's incredible concrete architecture, and a vintage trailer the art department found on Facebook Marketplace.We also talk about the less glamorous realities behind what appears on screen: graphics departments, graffiti and artwork clearances, sun studies, multiple company moves in a single day, rebuilding interiors, finding camera-friendly architecture and what happens when production asks you to flip a set…and then suddenly needs the original set back.For Meghan, the opportunity was ultimately about showing Los Angeles in all of its layers—from glamorous hilltop views to the city underneath the freeways—and finding a contemporary version of classic noir that still belongs completely to Sugar.Sugar Season 2 is streaming on Apple TV.

The teenage years can be difficult for parents as well as the kids going through so many physical and emotional changes. Celeste's parents tried to keep their strong willed daughter at home, safe and under their watch. When she told them she had a "boyfriend," they took her phone away. R&B singer D4vd paid a student at her school to give her a phone he bought for her to use exclusively with him. On February 14, 2024 D4vd sent an Uber to pick her up and bring her to his home in the Hollywood Hills. They named their plan "Operation Awesome." She was 13 years old and he was 19. She returned home to her Riverside County home in Lake Elsinore a few days later after her parents reported her missing the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. She left again on March 19, 2024. And again on April 5, 2024. Always reported to the Sheriffs Department. She and D4vd were dramatic and tumultuous and neither of them had the emotional intelligence to be in a "relationship." No ones brains were fully developed. Prosecutors believe on or about April 23, 2025 D4vd sent an Uber to Celeste's home in Lake Elsinore, 80 miles from his home in Hollywood to bring her to his home for a confrontation. Digital communications show that Celeste was angry at being rejected by D4vd and he was feeling threatened as she said she would tell the world he was sleeping with her an underage girl. The exact dates and what for sure happened are not fully known but you can hear how a 14 year old Celeste ended up in the front trunk of a Tesla owned by David Burke, AKA D4vd, decomposed and found one day before what would have been her 15 birthday. A year where other 15 year olds are celebrated with a Quinceanera ceremony. Even though a judge has decided that there is enough evidence to remand David Anthony Burke over for trial, there are details in the timeline that are still missing. If YOU have any information about Celeste's case please contact LAPD South Bureau Homicide Division 323-786-5100 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

En diciembre de 2009, Brittany Murphy fue encontrada sin vida en el baño de su mansión de las Hollywood Hills, tras meses consumida por una enfermedad que nadie supo explicar. Cinco meses después, su esposo murió en la misma casa, de la misma manera: neumonía y anemia severa.  La propiedad ya arrastraba una historia inquietante: Britney Spears había huido de ella años antes, convencida de que una sesión de reiki había abierto un portal. Entre teorías de moho tóxico, envenenamiento y presencias malignas, ninguna explicación terminó de cerrar. La casa fue demolida, pero el enigma de lo que pasó dentro de sus muros sigue sin resolverse.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 1 (8.6) It was a rough morning for LA's pipes. Crews from the Department of Water and Power scrambled to shut down a main break in the Hollywood Hills — no major flooding, but the roadway took a hit — while a second rupture hit Sunset and a geyser erupted on Mango Way in Brentwood. We break down what's actually going on underground and why it keeps happening. Then: hikers at Runyon Canyon are still staring at a two-stall prefab restroom that cost nearly $1 million, craned into place back in February and fenced off ever since. Sinks, lighting, sidewalks — all there. Doors? Locked. Six months and counting. Finally, a lighter one: a fan paid roughly $22,000 at a Phillies charity auction to call the third inning against the Nationals, sat down next to Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen, and sounded so polished the clip went viral. Some people just have the pipes.

“Killer Potential” by Hannah Deitch is a debut novel that's being called the “Thelma and Louise” of our times. This combination thriller and murder mystery follows two young women fleeing a bloody murder scene in the Hollywood Hills who become a runaway media sensation.

There's a music video where d4vd drags a body across the floor and loads it into a car. Prosecutors now allege he did the same thing his character did, to a fourteen-year-old girl, and that overlap is the thread running through everything else in this case. Before the fame, David Burke was a homeschooled teenager recording songs on an iPhone in his sister's closet, building an audience inside Fortnite lobbies. Prosecutors say that's also where he met Celeste Rivas Hernandez, years before either of them were adults, and the relationship kept going while no adult around either of them intervened. At seventeen, signed to Darkroom and Interscope, Burke created an alter ego called Itami, pain in Japanese, an agent of chaos wearing a blindfold, a concept he traced to a manga about a detective whose alter ego commits the murders he then has to solve. He compared it to Tyler Durden. The videos put a bloody knife and a severed arm on screen. Then the forensic testimony from the preliminary hearing. A trace analyst matched cuts on a garage pool to fragments on Celeste's clothing. DNA tied the Tesla and the home to her. A criminalist described blood scrubbed from the garage floor, steps from containers of fake blood. Cell tower records tracked Burke's Tesla to Santa Barbara County three separate times after she allegedly died. Celeste went to Burke's Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. She was fourteen. Her remains were found in his Tesla months later. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, illegal acts involving a minor, and mutilation of human remains. We go through the persona, the industry that profited from it, and the physical evidence now on the record. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Start with the paperwork instead of the crime scenes. In 2008 an Ohio judge approved a marriage for a girl who was fifteen and seven months pregnant. In 2024 California deputies documented that they had told David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez really was. Two records, two dead ends.One full conversation covering both the d4vd case in Los Angeles and the Siders 16 kids case in Vinton County, Ohio.The evidence segment walks through what a preliminary hearing has put in front of a judge. An LAPD criminalist testified that presumptive testing produced strong reactions on the rubber mats covering a Hollywood Hills garage floor and on the bricks under them. There were positives on a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord and a trash bag containing wipes. A blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it glowed in one area, and a second criminalist matched plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in that pool. Blair Berk's entire cross has been about what nobody tested.The second segment goes back to who David Burke was. Homeschooled after seventh grade, raised on gospel music until thirteen, signed to a major label at seventeen, and the author of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own videos.The third brings in retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke for Ohio. Sixteen children removed from a home in Hamden. A room measuring roughly twelve feet by twelve, according to the sheriff. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children each, all pleading not guilty.Two files, two states, and the same missing piece in both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The connection between these two cases is not the crime. It is the signature. Ohio put a marriage license in front of a judge for a fifteen-year-old who was seven months pregnant, and it was approved. California deputies documented telling David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was, and filed it.Everything in one place: the d4vd evidence conversation, the David Burke origin conversation, and the Siders 16 kids conversation with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Start in a Los Angeles courtroom, where an LAPD criminalist described spraying a Hollywood Hills garage and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks underneath. Then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of fabric. A blue inflatable pool that looked untouched still produced a glow, and a second criminalist fitted plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in it. Blair Berk went at everything nobody swabbed, nobody collected, nobody compared. Tony and Robin make the defense answer for every item.Then the harder question. Who was David Burke before any of it? Homeschooled after seventh grade. A social life built on screens. A record deal at seventeen. An alter ego named Itami, described in his own words as an agent of chaos, who commits murders in his videos.Then Ohio. Sixteen children, eighteen months to eighteen years, removed from a house in Hamden after a warrant tied to an unrelated matter. A room the sheriff said measured roughly twelve by twelve. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children apiece. All four pleaded not guilty.Different states, different worlds, one identical failure sitting in the middle of both files.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Both of these files existed on paper long before anybody called them cases. A marriage record out of 2008. A deputy's report out of 2024. Different states, different decades, and in both of them an official name went on the line and nothing happened next.The full live discussion — d4vd evidence, David Burke's backstory, and the Siders 16 kids case with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.In Los Angeles, days of preliminary hearing testimony have built a picture of a rented Hollywood Hills garage. Presumptive reactions on the floor mats and the bricks beneath them, on a rowing machine, on a tarp, on a trash bag with wipes inside it. An inflatable pool that looked clean and smelled like laundry, glowing in one place. Plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy fitted into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces. Defense attorney Blair Berk hammering everything investigators never swabbed or collected.Tony and Robin do not recap it. They argue it, item by item, from the defense side of the table.Then they go back to the beginning of David Burke — homeschooled, isolated, online, signed at seventeen, and the creator of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own music videos.Then Robin Dreeke comes in for Ohio. Sixteen children out of one house in Hamden. A room roughly twelve feet by twelve. An attorney general saying that waiting longer very likely meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults, sixteen counts each, four not guilty pleas, and a defense attorney arguing this is poverty and isolation rather than evil.Two cases. One question underneath both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen. Come argue about it live.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a group of fame-obsessed teens with a passion for fashion go for a shopping spree in their favourite stars' wardrobes?You get the Bling Ring: the unlikely architects behind a string of burglaries in the Hollywood Hills in the mid-2000s, targeting celebs from Paris Hilton to Orlando Bloom…Until those Ugg-booted cat burglars finally ran out of lives. Behind the TMZ headlines lay a tangled web of teenage angst and codependent friendships – and we're unravelling it all in this week's designer-label ShortHand. --Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

Hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died, an LAPD detective testified, David Burke's phone and his Tesla were parked on a lonely stretch off Highway 154. At 12:04 in the morning the phone placed a call to her number. It went unanswered, and the car was back in the Hollywood Hills by about seven.Everything the state has shown at the d4vd preliminary hearing runs through one rented garage in the Hollywood Hills, and the defense has to answer for all of it.An LAPD criminalist told the court that a presumptive chemical test reacted strongly on the black rubber mats covering that garage floor, and again on the bricks she found underneath them. A rowing machine tested positive. A green tarp tested positive. A charging cord tested positive. A trash bag with wipes inside it tested positive. An inflatable pool that looked spotless and smelled fresh had one area glow under the same chemical, and a second criminalist later fit plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces.Sitting a few feet from all of it were jugs and trays that tested negative and were written into the report without much fuss.Tony and Robin go item by item. Not to summarize the hearing — to interrogate it. What does the defense say about the pool? What does it say about the chain saw handles that were never swabbed for touch DNA? Or the third saw found in a closet and never collected, or the footwear impressions nobody could lift and nobody ever compared to a shoe?Blair Berk already got the state's own criminalist to say she cannot call it definitely blood. Only possibly blood.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys, and a judge will decide whether there is enough here for a trial. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony placed David Burke's phone and his Tesla off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County in the small hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died. While he was out there, according to an LAPD detective, the phone made one outgoing call. It rang through.Three days of d4vd preliminary hearing testimony have turned one rented Hollywood Hills garage into the center of a murder case. The state's criminalist described spraying Bluestar and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks beneath them, then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of black fabric.She described a blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it at all. It smelled fresh months later and had a dryer sheet clinging to it, and she testified that one area of it lit up under the chemical anyway. Another criminalist matched plastic fragments taken during the autopsy directly into the cuts in that pool.And in the middle of all of it, sitting in plain view, were jugs that came back negative.Tony and Robin work through the state's evidence piece by piece and ask how the defense answers each one, because Blair Berk is going to have an answer. She already got the criminalist to concede she cannot call the reaction definitely blood. She already put the untested chain saw handles on the record, along with the third saw pulled from a closet that investigators decided was not worth collecting.The alternate-suspect theory needs somebody else, and multiple people lived in that house. The state says her DNA is in his car and in his home. Somewhere between those two facts is the case.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old, and everything in that courtroom exists because she is not here.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

LAPD forensic evidence presented on Day 3 of d4vd's preliminary hearing connected the Hollywood Hills garage to the remains of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez through physical fragments too small to see without a lab. Trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that pieces cut from a blue inflatable pool in the garage matched material recovered from Celeste's leggings.The pool had "scalloped and straight" cuts made by a sharp object. LaHendro found hair fibers, plant material, and black foam-like fragments inside it. Criminalist Samantha Tosch confirmed the DNA match between the Tesla, the home, and Celeste. Lauren Wallace described evidence of blood cleanup throughout the garage — real blood, scrubbed from surfaces in a space that also contained jugs of fake blood the defense attributes to music video production.Defense attorney Blair Berk focused her cross-examination on investigative gaps. Chainsaw handles never swabbed. The Tesla exterior never tested. Multiple residents in the house. She's building the framework for a trial defense centered on alternative access. The prosecution's response came through Detective Roecker's technology analysis — cell tower data that tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times, beginning the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same stretch of Highway 154.Burke is charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, unlawful acts involving a minor, and mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty. Celeste was fourteen years old, from Lake Elsinore. Her body was found in the front trunk of Burke's Tesla — one day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pool fragments on a dead girl's leggings. That's the evidence that came out of Day 3 of the d4vd preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, and it draws a direct forensic line between the Hollywood Hills garage where prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke dismembered fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the clothing found with her remains.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that a blue inflatable kiddie pool in the garage had deliberate cuts — "scalloped and straight" — made with a sharp tool. The fragments removed from those cuts were recovered from Celeste's leggings. Criminalist Samantha Tosch testified the DNA matched. Criminalist Lauren Wallace found cleaned-up blood throughout the garage. And jugs of fake blood were sitting in the same space — the defense says music videos; the prosecution points to the real blood scrubbed from surfaces feet away.Blair Berk, Burke's defense attorney, spent her cross-examination asking what police didn't test. Chainsaw handles were never swabbed for DNA. The Tesla exterior was never tested. Multiple people lived in the house. Berk is building toward an alternative theory. But Detective William Roecker's cell tower testimony tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times — starting on the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same highway corridor.The hearing continues. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen years old when she went to his home and was never heard from again.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 3 of d4vd's preliminary hearing revealed the physical evidence linking his garage to Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body — fragments of a blue inflatable pool, cut with a sharp object, found on the fourteen-year-old's leggings months after she disappeared from Lake Elsinore.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro, with over two decades of experience, testified about the pool's "scalloped and straight" cuts and the recovered fragments. Criminalist Samantha Tosch confirmed that DNA from Burke's Tesla and Hollywood Hills rental matched Celeste. Lauren Wallace described cleaned blood throughout the garage where prosecutors allege the dismemberment occurred.The defense got its moments. Blair Berk established that two small chainsaws tested negative for blood and their handles were never swabbed for DNA. She confirmed multiple people lived in the residence. The strategy is clear — someone else had access. But the prosecution countered with Detective Roecker's cell tower testimony placing Burke's Tesla and phone on the road to Santa Barbara County the night Celeste allegedly died, with two return trips in May. Her passport card was found along that same Highway 154 corridor. He charged his EV in Santa Ynez.Also in the garage: jugs of fake blood. The defense says music videos — Burke's alter ego Itami traffics in dark imagery, and "Romantic Homicide" has over a billion Spotify plays. The prosecution says look at the real blood cleaned from the surfaces in the same room.Burke has pleaded not guilty. The bindover ruling could come any day. Celeste was fourteen. Her remains were found the day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors continued to present evidence to a California judge on Wednesday why singer D4vd should face a jury of his peers for the alleged murder and dismemberment of his underaged girlfriend Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Two LAPD criminalists were called to the stand to go over the evidence they uncovered at the singer’s Hollywood Hills home and inside the Tesla where Celeste’s decomposing remains were found by police. Investigators found blood throughout the garage and in his Tesla along with at least 11 air fresheners used to try and cover up the strong odor of decay. We also heard from Celeste’s family attorney who explained the reason why her parents chose to leave the courtroom midway through the hearing….

RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why.In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the disturbing case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was found stuffed in the trunk of singer David "D4vd" Burke's Tesla more than four months after she visited his Hollywood Hills home. The story exploded across the internet, and Burke's own fanbase had reason to believe his claims of innocence weren't the full picture. Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi cover the arrest and trial of David Burke.Follow and listen to more episodes of RedHanded here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redhanded/id1250599915See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every red flag in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case got logged by somebody, and not one of them connected the dots in time. Tony Brueski breaks down the full D4vd case for True Crime Today, starting with a welfare check that should have ended very differently. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three times in early 2024. That led Riverside County deputies to musician David Burke's phone number, and LA County deputies to his West Hollywood front door. Burke showed them a yearbook photo and claimed he'd met her only once. Deputies told him plainly that she was thirteen and a runaway, then left without further action. Prosecutors allege what came next was deliberate. Burke is accused of paying one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to hand her a new phone so contact could continue uninterrupted. Over the following year, prosecutors say she traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and had his name on her ring finger, all while still in seventh grade. The case takes an even stranger turn when you look at Burke's own music. His breakout single, the album it's from, and the alter ego he built around both all echo the allegations prosecutors are now making about a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months passed between investigators finding Celeste's remains and Burke's arrest, a stretch that included three grand jury panels, a friend fleeing to Montana to avoid a subpoena, and Burke's family fighting the grand jury in a Texas courtroom. He now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. That financial gain allegation is the piece prosecutors say ties everything back to Burke's career. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two sheriff's departments, one phone call, and a yearbook photo, that's as close as anyone came to stopping what happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Tony Brueski lays out the full D4vd case for Hidden Killers, starting with the welfare check that should have changed everything and didn't. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three separate times in early 2024. Riverside County deputies traced her phone records back to musician David Burke and called him. LA County deputies then went to Burke's West Hollywood home. He showed them a yearbook photo, claimed he'd met her once, and deputies told him straight to his face that she was thirteen and a runaway. Then they walked out the door. Prosecutors say what followed was calculated. Burke allegedly paid one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to slip her a new phone so contact never had to stop. Over the next year, she reportedly traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and had his name on her ring finger, all while she was still in seventh grade. Then there's the art. D4vd's biggest song, his album title, and the alter ego built around it all echo what prosecutors now allege took place inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months separated the discovery of Celeste's remains from Burke's arrest. Three grand jury panels heard testimony in that window. A friend fled to Montana to dodge a subpoena, and Burke's own family fought the grand jury in a Texas courtroom rather than answer questions. He now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. Prosecutors say the financial gain charge points directly at motive tied to Burke's public career. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A thirteen-year-old went missing three times, and two different sheriff's departments still couldn't stop what happened to her. Tony Brueski walks through the entire D4vd case for Hidden Killers Live, from the welfare check nobody escalated to the charges that followed. Celeste Rivas Hernandez disappeared from Lake Elsinore three times in early 2024 before her parents' reports led Riverside County deputies to musician David Burke's phone number. LA County deputies handled the welfare check at his West Hollywood home, where Burke pulled up a yearbook photo and said he barely knew her. Deputies confirmed her age and runaway status to his face, then left, closing out a report that should have triggered far more scrutiny than it did. According to prosecutors, that's when things accelerated. Burke allegedly paid a classmate of Celeste's a thousand dollars to deliver her a new phone so the two could keep talking. Over the year that followed, prosecutors say she traveled with him across the country and overseas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and wore his name on her ring finger while still in middle school. The unsettling part doesn't end there. D4vd's most successful song, the album it came from, and the persona built around both all mirror what prosecutors now allege happened inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months passed between the discovery of Celeste's remains and Burke's eventual arrest, during which three grand jury panels convened, a friend of Burke's fled to Montana to avoid testifying, and his family fought the grand jury process in Texas. Burke is now charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. That financial gain allegation ties the charges directly to Burke's career and public image. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.

I will come out of this very surreal moment in American history and in the story of my own life, understanding the basic truth that our goodness is not determined by a political party. It isn't the politics that make us better than anyone else. We all have our own ideas of what matters. Instead, it is our willingness to preserve our humanity when tested that really counts.We can blame the internet and the algorithms for what has happened to all of us in the last 20 years, to our politics, to our culture, to our relationships. But that can only take us so far. At some point, we all have to reckon with who we are and what we've become.I always thought we were the good guys. We didn't mock, degrade, or dehumanize other people. We were decent and were empathetic. That is, until Donald Trump won in 2016 and all of that changed. What I saw happen to my own side was ugly. It was dark. I wanted nothing to do with it.It's been almost two years since Donald Trump was nearly shot and killed on live television. The way the Left dealt with that shooting was shocking. They diminished it. They said it was staged or just shrapnel. They did everything but wake up to the radicalization on their own side. By then, they'd become consumed by hatred, having tried everything they had in their arsenal to take down Trump, and all of it had failed. How could they pivot back to their humanity?So when Charlie Kirk was assassinated on video, with the clip going viral to millions of views in seconds, they were primed and ready to once again leave behind their humanity and celebrate one more battle against their named evil, a guy who said things they didn't like. It became a thing on TikTok:They all took to X and competed for who could be the ugliest and the cruelest. The more disgusting they were, the more their hate and dehumanization were rewarded. Social media has messed with our perception of what defines love and hate, with those tiny deceptive hearts we press every time someone scratches that sadistic itch.The reaction to Charlie's assassination by the Left was unlike anything I've ever seen or anything I thought I would ever see from my former side. It might have been the people of Salem celebrating watching their friends and neighbors hang because they refused to confess. But this was America in 2025, not 1692. How could they not have been shaken out of their decade-long mass hysteria stupor? My mind goes to Charles Manson and his followers, who showed no mercy, slicing up the bodies of the rich in the Hollywood Hills, a pregnant Sharon Tate among them. To hear the Manson family tell it, they deserved it. They were the establishment. They had been dehumanized, and their lives didn't matter. I bring up the Manson murders a lot because that was the last time we saw that same glint, the same wild-eyed happiness and glee at something as gruesome as a murder or someone's death. I thought that would have been the end of it, back then. It was enough to end the 1960s, keep Richard Nixon in power, and send our society tumbling toward Ronald Reagan and the 1980s. But now, that same kind of bizarre, cult-like fury has overtaken the Left once again, and nothing can shake them out of it, not the near assassination of Trump, not the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk. Not the celebrating afterward.The hate bubbled up inside them so profoundly that even when Barack Obama tried to show some grace in the wake of Charlie's death, his biggest applause lines came after he decided to repeat the cherry-picked, out-of-context lies pushed by the Left that led to the dehumanization of Charlie Kirk in the first place. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took her cue from President Obama and followed the same pattern. She offered a condemnation of political violence, but then launched into the kind of attack that they believe justifies all of what they've been doing for the past ten years.This is a country built on freedom of speech, and yet, the entire Left doesn't believe in it, or they think it's Trump that's doing it. They control the culture, which is why they couldn't even offer a word about Charlie's death, not even at the Emmys or anywhere else. Jamie Lee Curtis had a moment of sorrow for Charlie when she choked up on a podcast. But the activists descended upon her, and of course, she was forced to “clarify” what she meant.All it took was losing one election for my side to transform into monsters who believed that as long as their fellow Americans stood in their way, they could justify anything that happened to them, yes, even an assassination.Even now, I still get twitchy when I see the blind, hot hatred coming from the Left aimed at anyone on the Right. I've never gotten used to it. I've never been able to overlook it. I certainly couldn't be a part of it.I was reminded of that this week after Lindsey Graham's untimely death. I watched the same pattern play out, the same ugliness, the same mocking TikTok videos demanding those inside utopia disconnect from their humanity. Even if Trump danced on the graves of his enemies, Rob Reiner and Robert Mueller, that doesn't mean he spends his days wishing any of them would be murdered or dead. Plenty of people on the Right, even journalists in right-leaning outlets, had no problem condemning Trump for it. Why can't they do that on the Left?Why are we now seeing them once again celebrating the death of a politician for the crime of disagreeing with them? They will keep doing this and as long as they do, someone out there will think picking up a gun will make them a hero. Celebrating the death of evil people should be reserved for mass murderers like Stalin or Hitler. That they believe Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump, or Charlie Kirk are on that level is proof enough that they've lost their minds, and it has taken us to a very dangerous place. Something Wicked This Way ComesWhen Charlie was assassinated, it was like the leg of a pier giving way and the whole thing crashing into the water. He held the MAGA movement together by his optimistic and inclusive nature, but once he was gone, a full-blown war broke out.It all started with the JQ group - the “Jewish Question” white nationalists - who instantly blamed Charlie's death on Israel. This was then picked up and amplified by Candace Owens, who has now become more popular than she's ever been by positioning herself as the anti-Charlie Kirk. She is now attempting to steal his legacy, bully and harass his widow, and destroy everything he ever built.Why? Who knows. Maybe because she's a total zero and her friendship with Charlie was the best it was ever going to get for her. Maybe she was bitter and resentful about being sidelined by Charlie and TPUSA. Either way, she has now done the Left a solid by changing the conversation around Charlie's death. It isn't the rising fanaticism on the Left or their pathological need to control thought and speech. It isn't that they've become so totalitarian that they fantasize about the deaths of their enemies and celebrate when people die?No, it was actually Israel!I didn't think anything or anyone could ever match the level of insanity of the Left, but Candace Owens has done it. For clicks, views, and money, she sold out her so-called friend. Charlie has been dehumanized, yet again, this time transformed into nothing more than a stepping stone to success by a woman who can never get enough of it, who needs people to be talking about her, looking at her, thinking about her, doing anything but ignoring her.She's stolen Charlie's legacy and has now written herself into this story so everyone will notice she was once part of Charlie's world. Not an important part. She was useful, for a time. Maybe she was even his friend, for a time. Now, she has shown her true colors, and it is the most evil thing I've seen in the 30 years I've been online. How lonely and empty does a person have to be to steal someone else's life?That so many have followed her, that there is such a thing as the “woke Right,” that Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones and others have actually indulged this sick fantasy that anyone but Tyler Robinson could have done this, proves that goodness is not about political parties. It is about our humanity, whether we have it or whether we've abandoned it. Charlie's Angels Something real and violent happened on September 10, 2025. The algorithmic, hypnotic churn of the internet, our absurd, pointless Civil War, the obsession on the Right with Israel, none of that could stop what really happened that day.There isn't a person who was there or who was closest to Charlie that Candace Owens hasn't consumed for content and blamed for his death. But she's underestimated the strength of Charlie's widow, his most powerful angel, Erika Kirk. Candace has used her too, laid her out like raw flesh to be consumed by sycophants, but somehow, that has only made Erika stronger, and now, Candace is the one who is about to understand what love really means. And what goodness looks like.Erika is Charlie's angel, but lucky for him, he has a lot of them. They're out there fighting every day to keep his memory alive and the movement he built thriving. And a sculptor is putting a statue of Charlie Kirk in Times Square, New York. We know how that is going to go. We know because we know the Left. The way the Left responded to Charlie's assassination should be something none of us ever forgets. It is something they will all have to reckon with one day, and for many of them, wiping away its shame won't be easy.It will be up to those angels of Charlie's to continue his lifelong devotion to open debate, to talking to those you disagree with, and to preserve our freedom of speech and expression. Above all, let his memory be a reminder of how important it is to hold on to our humanity. The world has changed since Charlie was shot and killed. It's darker, and it's meaner. Holding onto hope is harder than it's ever been. But Charlie Kirk lives on through his widow, his babies, his true friends, and the tens of thousands of young people keeping TPUSA alive.We have his legacy because we still have his voice, and thanks to the internet, it is everywhere, and he will never be forgotten./// This is a public episode.

Raymond Lavine is an extended care benefits advisor. He advises and designs long-term care benefits for families and LTC benefits for companies. Raised in the Hollywood Hills, Raymond grew up in a household shaped by global history. The son of immigrants who fled persecution and sought opportunity in the United States, he was introduced to perspectives beyond his immediate surroundings at an early age. Family travel across North America and Europe broadened his worldview, reinforcing the idea that lives, values, and challenges vary widely, an understanding that would later influence both his personal philosophy and professional approach.Following high school, Raymond made a choice that surprised many: enlisting in the U.S. Army. Upon entering airborne infantry service, he encountered environments and individuals far removed from his upbringing. Military life demanded cooperation, adaptability, and accountability, while service in Vietnam exposed him to loss, sacrifice, and the realities of vulnerability. These experiences left a lasting imprint, sharpening his empathy and deepening his appreciation for the burdens others carry.After completing his service, Raymond returned to education with renewed focus. Beginning at community college before transferring to the University of Southern California, he excelled academically, majoring in international relations with a minor in business. While he valued the rigor of his studies, he later reflected on the lack of formal negotiation training, a skill he came to see as essential in business and in navigating everyday human interactions.Lavine's professional path spanned commercial banking, mortgage services, and life insurance, culminating in his specialization in long-term care planning. A personal turning point emerged when caregiving challenges within his family revealed the financial and emotional strain that arises without preparation. Motivated by firsthand observation, he shifted his focus to helping individuals secure extended care solutions before a crisis strikes, preserving dignity, independence, and family stability.Today, Raymond's work centers on guiding people through conversations they often prefer to avoid, emphasizing understanding over assumptions. He advocates planning that protects not only assets but also careers and relationships, particularly as caregiving responsibilities increasingly affect working families. My approach is the belief that listening alone is not enough; it is about understanding.Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (7.13) Teen takeovers: Don’t do it, kids! And if you must, pick a spot where the cops aren’t vigilant — steer clear of Orange County strongholds like Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, because OC law enforcement will call in the cavalry at the first sign of trouble. Head to LA County or the San Fernando Valley instead, where we run wild, and who knows, Timmy might even show up to DJ! Timmy reminisces about his old “Mazda Ashtray” and the clever hack he used to get AAA to tow him to and from Hollywood Hills parties. Knott’s Berry Farm has already tipped off local OC cops about a planned teen takeover at the park. In other news, there were two separate home invasion attempts — one in Porter Ranch and another in Woodland Hills — proving that with the FIFA World Cup wrapping up, LA is happily returning to its regularly scheduled crime programming. And finally, one of Hollywood’s most iconic landmarks is in trouble: Legendary Television City, home to The Price Is Right, The Carol Burnett Show, and decades of TV history, could be headed for sale as owner Hackman Capital Partners struggles with over $350 million in debt amid the production slowdown. Timmy and Crozier are sad about it, but hey — Mayor Karen Bass is on the case, and she never screws anything up, right? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

D4vd case — prosecutors say David Burke used the alias “Victoria Mendez” to order items from Amazon in the weeks after Celeste Rivas Hernandez was allegedly killed. The destination for every package: his own Hollywood Hills address. The fake name protected nothing. Amazon has records. Delivery drivers have GPS logs. Investigators have forty terabytes of evidence.According to prosecutors, the alleged cover-up included an album release party the day after the alleged murder, a shovel ordered via Postmates that morning, geotagged Instagram content on a date investigators say remains were dismembered, and a Tesla parked on a Hollywood street for over a month with what was allegedly inside. Multiple friends and associates reportedly noticed a strong smell of decay and said nothing.The case broke open when a tow yard worker noticed the smell. This is the second of three parts in a Hidden Killers investigation that traces every alleged move and every digital receipt David Burke allegedly left behind.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd case — the prosecution's alleged cover-up timeline. Prosecutors say David Burke ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and more from Amazon under a fake name and had everything delivered to his Hollywood Hills home. The alias was “Victoria Mendez.” The address was his. And Amazon keeps records of everything.That's one detail in a months-long chain prosecutors say began the night of April 23, 2025 — the night Celeste Rivas Hernandez allegedly died inside Burke's home. According to the prosecution, Burke hosted an album release party the following day, ordered a shovel through Postmates that same morning, posted geotagged Instagram content on a date investigators allege remains were dismembered, and eventually left his Tesla parked on a Hollywood street while he went on a world tour.The body was found over four months later.

D4vd case: the day prosecutors say David Burke celebrated his debut album was also the day a Postmates driver reportedly delivered a shovel to his Hollywood Hills home. That was just the beginning. In the weeks that followed, according to the prosecution, Burke placed Amazon orders under an alias for items investigators say were used to carry out the mutilation charge — and shipped them all to his own address.Prosecutors say Burke went from an album release party to a Coachella-level tour while allegedly leaving behind a trail of Uber receipts, delivery logs, surveillance footage, geotagged social media posts, and witnesses who noticed a smell and said nothing. The alleged cover-up lasted from April through September 2025 and ended not because of an investigation but because a tow yard worker in Hollywood opened a car trunk.This is the second of three parts in the D4vd investigation.

Deputies conducted a welfare check and told David Anthony Burke directly that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was thirteen years old. According to the prosecution's filing, he continued anyway. This look back examines what the People's Brief puts on the record about the timeline prosecutors intend to prove — and what that welfare check should have triggered but didn't.The filing describes a pattern that allegedly began when Celeste was eleven and escalated over years. By fourteen, according to prosecutors, she was traveling with Burke and spending time at his Hollywood Hills home while his circle reportedly believed she was an adult. When her parents intervened and took her phone, prosecutors say Burke drove to her hometown and paid a classmate to deliver a replacement. She was reported missing twice before the events prosecutors allege ended her life.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down how patterns like this allegedly unfold — the escalation, the isolation, the progressive normalization that keeps the people around a situation from seeing what's happening. She examines what law enforcement's welfare check was supposed to accomplish and why it failed to protect Celeste. She connects the alleged timeline directly to the prosecution's murder motive: that Burke allegedly killed Celeste because she was threatening to expose a relationship that could end his career. Burke has pleaded not guilty. The defense called the filing "entirely one-sided" and attempted to have it sealed. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 When Celeste Rivas Hernandez's parents found out and took her phone, prosecutors say David Anthony Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid one of her classmates a thousand dollars to deliver a new one. That single allegation — buried in the People's Brief filed this week — tells you everything about the pattern prosecutors are building. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what that pattern looks like from a federal investigative perspective and how it connects to the murder charges.The filing describes an alleged timeline that began when Celeste was eleven. By thirteen, she was allegedly in a relationship with Burke. Deputies conducted a welfare check and told him directly that she was thirteen. According to prosecutors, he continued. By fourteen, she was reportedly traveling with him to multiple states, spending time at his Hollywood Hills home, while people in his world apparently believed she was an adult college student. She was a child in middle school who had been reported missing twice.Coffindaffer breaks down how the escalation described in the filing typically unfolds — the isolation from family, the replacement of connections the family tries to sever, the progressive normalization. She examines what the welfare check should have triggered systemically and why it didn't protect Celeste. And she connects the alleged pattern directly to the prosecution's theory: that Burke allegedly killed her because she was threatening to expose a relationship that endangered his career. Burke has pleaded not guilty. The defense called the filing "entirely one-sided."
