Podcasts about Hollywood Hills

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?

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?

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…. And it has everything to do with TODAY.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. 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?

The history of rock and roll is written in more than just ink and vinyl—some say it's written in blood, ritual, and ancient pacts. From the dusty crossroads of the Mississippi Delta to the drug-fueled paranoia of the Hollywood Hills, the connection between the music industry and the occult is deeper than most dare to admit.In this deep-dive exploration, we peel back the velvet curtain to examine 10 of the most chilling and documented conspiracies that bridge the gap between high art and high strangeness. We aren't just talking about rumors; we're looking at the factual intersections of legendary musicians and the "Black Arts."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

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.

Amor, muerte y obsesión en Hollywood Cuando una conocida terapeuta es asesinada con gran violencia en su casa de Hollywood Hills, la policía debe seguir el rastro de una obsesión y una ira mortíferas para encontrar a su asesino. Cuando la bondad mata Tras el brutal asesinato de una popular peluquera, la policía de Cincinnati está conmocionada y pone en marcha una investigación contrarreloj. Pero se produce un avance inesperado cuando durante un control de tráfico rutinario en un condado vecino se destapa una violenta trama mortal que nadie habría podido imaginar.

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.

Heute wird es mal wieder alkoholfrei: Zu Gast ist Gregory Emmel, der Gründer von Haardt Hills aus Gimmeldingen in der Pfalz. Gregory ist Münchner, BWLer und Quereinsteiger im Wein-Game. Seine Reise führte ihn von jugendlichen Burgunder-Käufen (damals noch mit Taschengeld machbar) über Gutachten exklusiver Weinkeller und Wein-Tech-Startups in die Pfalz. Warum? Wegen der Liebe. Und jetzt krempelt er mit seinen alkoholfreien Premium-Kreationen den Markt um. Vergesst klebrig-süße, billige Traubensäfte, bei Haardt Hills geht es um echtes Handwerk, Herkunft und Charakter. Gregory arbeitet eng mit befreundeten Pfälzer Winzerfamilien zusammen, setzt auf Handlese aus der Mittelhaardt und nutzt ein echtes Hightech-Verfahren. Dank einer weltweit einzigartigen, patentierten Membrantechnologie wird dem Ausgangswein der Alkohol schonend entzogen, während der komplette, feine Aromenkomplex voll erhalten bleibt. Kein künstliches Drüber-Parfümieren, keine verkochten Noten. Das Ergebnis ist qualitativ so stark, dass selbst Willi seine, nett gesagt, anfängliche Skepsis ganz schnell begraben musste. Wer Gregory eine Weile zuhört, merkt sofort, dass hinter dem Projekt ein genialer Kopf mit einer Menge Humor steckt. Er verrät, warum seine Brand eine Hommage an die Hollywood Hills ist und wie er es geschafft hat, dass seine alkoholfreien Weine heute in absoluten Spitzengastronomien ausgeschenkt werden.

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.

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.

 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.

A child reported missing three times. A full school year with no enrollment. Eleven law-enforcement calls to her home. An alleged relationship with an adult that was visible on livestreams, in photos, and in matching tattoos. And not a single system stopped it. This look back, with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, examines how every layer of protection meant to keep a child safe failed Celeste Rivas Hernandez.Scott — who has more than three decades of clinical experience in trauma, violence psychology, and forensic mental health — breaks down the psychological machinery underneath these failures. How a child running from instability at home becomes invisible to the systems that are supposed to catch her. How the gap between a working immigrant family in Lake Elsinore and a celebrity in the Hollywood Hills creates a wall that keeps harm hidden. How online platforms function as pathways with no oversight. And why the most dangerous thing anyone can say about a case like this is that "she fooled everyone" — because a fourteen-year-old doesn't fool adults. Adults fail to see what they should have been looking for.David Anthony Burke has been charged with first-degree murder with three special circumstances, additional counts related to the victim's age, and a separate count related to the condition of her remains. Prosecutors allege the financial-gain motive was specific: Celeste was threatening to expose a relationship that endangered his career. Burke has pleaded not guilty and his attorneys maintain his innocence. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a fourteen-year-old girl who had been missing for approximately seventeen months, was found only because a vehicle received a parking citation and was subsequently towed. When tow-yard employees opened the front trunk of the impounded Tesla — registered to David Anthony Burke, the recording artist known as D4VD — they discovered her remains in a condition that made determining cause of death an extraordinary challenge.This look back traces the investigative arc from that discovery through to the charges that were ultimately filed. The investigation involved a sealed medical examiner's report held under a court-ordered security hold initiated by LAPD, tracking data allegedly placing Burke in a remote area, evidence reportedly recovered during a search of a Hollywood Hills rental, and a grand jury proceeding that heard testimony over an extended period. Burke was arrested via a probable-cause warrant — a Ramey warrant — rather than on a grand jury indictment, meaning LAPD moved ahead of the DA's filing decision.Charges were subsequently filed, including first-degree murder and additional counts related to the victim's age and the condition of her remains. Burke has pleaded not guilty and remains held without bail. The segment also examines the role of a key associate — a close friend of Burke's who was arrested for failing to appear before the grand jury, testified briefly, and later posted privately claiming to have information while conspicuously omitting the victim's name. We revisit where the matter stood at the time of our reporting, distinguishing court-confirmed facts from investigative reporting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 David Anthony Burke — the recording artist known as D4VD — was arrested by LAPD Robbery-Homicide at a Hollywood Hills residence on a probable-cause warrant signed by a judge, not on an indictment from the grand jury that had been investigating for months. That distinction matters, and this look back breaks down why.A Ramey warrant allows police to arrest a suspect based on probable cause reviewed by a judge, without waiting for the DA to file charges or a grand jury to return an indictment. In this case, it meant LAPD moved first — and the DA's office reviewed the case for filing after the arrest. Charges were subsequently filed, including first-degree murder and additional charges related to the victim's age. Burke has pleaded not guilty and is held without bail.The remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a fourteen-year-old girl who had been missing for roughly seventeen months, were found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke — in a condition that made determining cause of death extraordinarily difficult. We revisit where the investigation stood at the time of our reporting: a sealed medical examiner's report under a security hold initiated by LAPD, tracking data allegedly placing Burke in a remote area of Santa Barbara County, evidence reportedly recovered from a Hollywood Hills rental, and a grand jury that had been hearing testimony. This segment explains the legal mechanics of a Ramey warrant, the family's fight for answers, and how a case this complex reached the point of arrest.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: November, 2021Here's the blog synopsis in plain text, ready for your review pass before HTML conversion.Weird Darkness gathers dozens of true creepy stories submitted by Redditors, ranging from a grandmother buried alive in a backyard coffin to phantom police officers, a haunted hotel painter, a 1980s kidnapping attempt, and a dinner of "fresh venison" served by a cannibal.It opens with a coworker's family story about exhuming a grandmother who had been buried in a wooden box in the backyard, as was once customary. When the family lifted the lid to move her to a cemetery plot years later, they found claw marks covering the inside of the coffin — she had been buried alive.From there, a babysitter hears pans falling in the basement after putting the children to bed and calls the police expecting a single patrol officer. A full SWAT team arrives at the door instead, because the dispatcher heard a second phone on the line hang up after the call ended. A man wanted for multiple assaults had been listening from the basement extension.A secluded spring campground follows, where a father and his friends befriended a quiet neighbor living out of a makeshift truck camper. Days later, driving out, they spotted him hanging from a tree beside his untouched campsite, a note pinned to the trunk with a buck knife — the suicide had happened at the father's favorite camping spot, the same one where he finally told his children the story years later.Next comes a twelve-year-old girl living in a backyard trailer who heard footsteps crossing the metal roof at night, always when she was alone. Months later she woke to find the trailer sweltering, the heater cranked to full blast, and fled on instinct; investigators later found the door lock tampered with and a kitchen knife hidden behind a chair beside the heating controls, where the staring neighbor had apparently crouched in wait.After the first break, a traveler in Taiwan steps into an elevator near a night market and stops on a pitch-dark, abandoned floor that shouldn't exist. The building's fourth floor — omitted from the panel entirely, in keeping with Chinese numerical superstition — had been sealed after a hair salon employee died by suicide there, and the elevator had been professionally reprogrammed to never stop on it. It sometimes does anyway, and riders report a figure in a gown moving toward the doors.Then a 2 a.m. street fight ends with a stabbing, a daughter catching her bleeding stepfather on the porch, and an answering machine message recorded at the exact time of the attack: a school friend across town, crying, describing a dream of screaming, a fight, and her friend covered in blood — in the late 1980s, long before cell phones could have carried the news.A college student renting a basement room recounts his dog growling at one corner of the room, followed by the small dirt-floored closet under the stairs creaking open on its own with deliberate slowness, leaving him frozen in the dark hallway for five full minutes.A seven-year-old girl visiting her mother's best friend watches a burned family — a mother, a teenage boy, and two younger girls — walk the house and beckon her to come with them. Years later the friend admitted the family had moved out over hauntings: baby toys scattered overnight, blankets and pillows arranged on the floor as if people had slept there.A smashed flower pot follows, found twenty feet from its shelf in the middle of a family room floor with no dirt trail, as if it had been carried and dropped straight down. Then two brothers named Jack and Tom each spend a night silently furious at the other's loud guests, only to meet in the hallway and discover the living room full of chattering old people belonged to neither of them — the room stood empty, smelling of musk.A college party flips from paranormal dread to absurdity when a bleeding, pantsless man with wild hair forces his way through the door screaming "please"; the supposed intruder turned out to be a friend of a friend on a catastrophic acid trip who had lost his pants running through a field.The block closes with a runner who caught a prospective neighbor — a man who had complimented his physique two days earlier — standing at his bedroom window at midnight, having entered the house earlier to adjust the blinds for a better view. The chase across gravel driveways ended with a written confession, a photographed license plate, and, a full year later, a knock on the door from the same man, apologizing.Out of the second break comes a Hollywood Hills doorstep in the early 1980s: a distraught woman babbling about blood, two LAPD officers who collect her within ten minutes, and then two more officers thirty minutes later — the ones actually dispatched to the call, with no record of who the first pair were or where they took her.The night crew of a 24-hour Subway describes their resident "SubGhost," blamed for disembodied conversations, crashing noises, items sliding off counters, and a new automatic paper towel dispenser that unspooled an entire roll, sheet by sheet, in an empty room.Three children watch a white figure of a man sit atop a telephone pole, grinning at them, before he stands, jumps, and vanishes before reaching the ground. Then a basement-apartment tenant describes a man watching him through the window for ten minutes, followed weeks later by an air conditioner cover pried off in the night — and a police department that could do nothing until someone actually broke in.A newspaper carrier on a rural route in 2000 describes a drenched man in a white shirt charging out of a rain-filled ditch at 2 a.m. with what looked like a hatchet in his hand; the man took his own life within the hour, and the carrier had to pound on a farmhouse door to report it because his Motorola flip phone had no signal.A bus rider chats with an oddly unsettling woman at the stop, boards an empty bus, and hears "Hey! Remember me?" from a little girl who resembles the woman exactly — on a bus the rider is certain was empty.The episode then travels to South Africa's Eastern Cape in July 2010, where a humanitarian worker and a missionary named Piet arrive at a Xhosa village to find it deserted. A naked woman covered in cuts, missing an ear, and running on all fours charged their truck, screeching and clawing at the windows as they fled. The villagers later said only that "a bad presence" had been in the village and was now gone.Gentler hauntings follow: a clock radio scraping across a desk to face a grandson and playing opera — the late grandfather's wake-up music of choice — two weeks after the funeral; a glass bowl that shattered downstairs during a sleepover and was found already swept up, its pieces gathered into another bowl on the table; and a dying grandfather whose eyes opened wide on his final breath as he smiled, looking happier than he had in years.The dread returns with a woman home alone who hears something working at her front door lock and sees two silhouettes — one at the door, one at the living room window — standing motionless, watching her watch them. They vanished before help arrived, and she found the basement window partially kicked in the next morning.A Sacramento man recounts surviving an attempted kidnapping around age nine or ten: a white van stopped beside a late-night Frisbee game, the sliding door opened, and a man in black flew out on a rigged telescoping harness operated from inside, missing his grab by inches. The three boys hid on a school roof for nearly an hour while the van circled, searching.A small-town yard sale yields a dented silver cigarette case for two dollars; months later the same elderly seller has the identical case — same dent, same brand of cigarette inside — while the original has vanished from the buyer's nightstand drawer. A man recalls childhood dreams of gripping toys hard enough to wake up holding them, including the Skeletor figure his family swore they never bought.Then a sixteen-year-old new driver and her four-year-old half-sister are stalked across town by a purple-faced man in a white pickup truck who blocked intersections, revealed a gun under his shirt, rammed their car toward oncoming traffic, and drew a finger across his throat. The older sister's gas station escape plan — coaching the four-year-old to jump out and run to the counter — ended the pursuit, though polic

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Michael Gargiulo, known as the Hollywood Ripper. For more than a decade, women in the suburbs of Chicago and the Hollywood Hills were being murdered in their own homes, and no one saw it coming -- because the killer was never a stranger. He was the boy next door, the friendly repairman, the neighbor who waved from across the street. Candice examines how Gargiulo used proximity, access, and an unsettling gift for blending in to evade justice for fifteen years -- and how one survivor's refusal to give up changed everything.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Killer Psyche ad-free right now.

The alleged conduct described in court filings against David Burke, known as D4VD, crosses state lines and international borders — yet the prosecution is proceeding on state charges in Los Angeles County. He currently faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen, and mutilation of human remains. The legal complexity runs deeper than one courtroom.Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analysis chief Robin Dreeke address the procedural and legal dimensions. The alleged use of fake identification for a minor. The reported travel to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. The alleged Uber sent to pick up Celeste Rivas Hernandez from Lake Elsinore and bring her to a Hollywood Hills residence on April 23, 2025 — the night prosecutors allege she was stabbed to death. Whether the Mann Act or federal trafficking statutes could allegedly apply, and how federal investigations operate parallel to state prosecutions.The evidence prosecutors have presented reveals something beyond one defendant — an alleged grooming operation that reportedly required infrastructure. Three missing persons reports in 2024 that allegedly changed nothing. Alleged matching tattoos with a child. An alleged sexual relationship that prosecutors say started when the victim was thirteen. An alleged thousand-dollar payment to a classmate to circumvent parental intervention. The legal framework for mandatory reporting, the potential for additional charges against other parties, and what the special circumstances allegations mean for sentencing all factor into what this case allegedly demands from the justice system.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

According to prosecutors, David Anthony Burke allegedly fatally stabbed Celeste Rivas Hernandez in his Hollywood Hills garage, then drove over a hundred miles to a remote location to allegedly dispose of evidence. The following morning, he reportedly gave a radio interview to promote his album. In the days and weeks that followed, prosecutors allege he ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool under a fake name — and forensic evidence reportedly connects those items to injuries found on Celeste's remains. This Hidden Killers Week in Review combines two episodes analyzing the prosecution's case through the expertise of retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott.The People's Brief outlines what prosecutors characterize as years of alleged sexual exploitation preceding the alleged murder. Burke reportedly met Celeste when she was eleven. The relationship allegedly became sexual when she was thirteen. By fourteen, she was reportedly traveling with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. Prosecutors say Burke was informed by deputies during a welfare check that Celeste was thirteen and that she had been reported missing — and that he allegedly continued pursuing her. When her parents confiscated her phone, the prosecution alleges Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a replacement device.Coffindaffer analyzes the alleged exploitation timeline through her FBI behavioral analysis experience and examines the systemic failure points — including what the welfare check should have triggered and how the alleged grooming pattern connects to the prosecution's theory of motive. Scott addresses the psychological profile prosecutors are constructing, including the alleged capacity to conceal both the relationship and, later, the alleged crime from associates who reportedly detected the smell of decay from Burke's home and vehicle over an extended period. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His attorneys maintain he is innocent and did not cause Celeste's death.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eleven when they allegedly met. Thirteen when the relationship allegedly became sexual. Fourteen when she was reportedly dead. The People's Brief in the D4VD case lays out a progression that prosecutors call a years-long pattern of sexual exploitation — and according to the filing, law enforcement directly told David Anthony Burke that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was a minor before the worst of it allegedly occurred. This Hidden Killers Week in Review brings together two episodes featuring retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examining every layer of the prosecution's case.Tony Brueski walks through the alleged deception that prosecutors say made the relationship possible. People in Burke's world reportedly believed Celeste was a nineteen-year-old USC student. When her parents found out the truth and confiscated her phone, prosecutors allege Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a new one. She was reported missing twice. Deputies conducted a welfare check and reportedly informed Burke she was thirteen. The prosecution maintains he continued pursuing her regardless — allegedly taking her to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, with summer weekends spent at his Hollywood Hills home.Coffindaffer analyzes how the alleged exploitation pattern connects to the prosecution's murder motive and what systemic failures allowed it to allegedly continue. Scott examines the psychological dimensions of what prosecutors describe — from the alleged initial grooming of a child to the behavior allegedly exhibited after Celeste's death, including what prosecutors say was a radio interview to promote his album the morning after she was allegedly killed. Burke has pleaded not guilty. His defense team maintains he is innocent and did not cause Celeste's death.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, faces first-degree murder charges with three special circumstances — lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness — along with continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen and mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts. His defense attorneys state the evidence will show he is innocent and did not cause Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death.Prosecutors allege in court filings that Burke met Celeste when she was eleven and began sexually abusing her when she was thirteen. When Celeste reportedly threatened to expose the relationship, prosecutors allege Burke fatally stabbed her in the garage of his Hollywood Hills home. They further allege he drove to a remote area near Lake Cachuma to dispose of evidence, subsequently ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and other materials under the alias "Victoria Mendez," and that forensic analysis found material from an inflatable pool in deep cuts on Celeste's remains. Her body was discovered in Burke's Tesla approximately six months later after the vehicle was impounded.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the psychological implications of the alleged behavioral pattern described in the charging documents — from the reported years-long contact with a minor to the alleged methodical post-mortem conduct prosecutors have outlined. Burke is being held without bail in Los Angeles County Jail.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Celeste Rivas Hernandez case has taken a shocking turn as prosecutors allege a disturbing timeline involving years of grooming, a secret relationship, a brutal stabbing, and the dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl. According to court filings, singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, has been charged with first-degree murder in Celeste's death. Authorities allege the case began years earlier, when Celeste was still a child, and escalated into a deadly confrontation after she allegedly threatened to expose their relationship. Crime Talk Store: https://crime-talk-network.myshopify.com/collections/all In this podcast, we break down the timeline prosecutors presented: the alleged grooming, the missing person reports, the final Uber ride, the Hollywood Hills residence, the Tesla discovery, DNA evidence, and the disturbing purchases investigators say were made afterward. This is the full timeline of the Celeste Rivas and D4vd case, based on the allegations presented by prosecutors and court documents. Disclaimer: All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. This video is for news, commentary, and educational purposes.

The forensic trail prosecutors outlined in the D4VD People's Brief reads like a receipt of alleged premeditation. According to the filing, in the weeks following Celeste Rivas Hernandez's alleged death on April 23, 2025, David Anthony Burke allegedly ordered a shovel through Postmates the following day. Then, prosecutors say, came two chainsaws. A body bag. Heavy-duty laundry bags. An inflatable pool. A burn cage. All allegedly ordered under the alias Victoria Mendez and delivered to his Hollywood Hills residence.LAPD's Trace Analysis Unit reportedly found pieces of blue plastic consistent with that inflatable pool in deep cuts on Celeste's remains. Her passport was allegedly recovered off Highway 154 near Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County, where prosecutors say Burke drove multiple times to dispose of evidence.Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances of lying in wait, financial gain, and murder of a witness. He also faces charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen and unlawful mutilation of human remains. His defense team maintains he did not cause Celeste's death.The digital evidence prosecutors describe is equally detailed. iCloud data and text messages allegedly document the sexual relationship. Child sexual abuse material was allegedly found on his phone. Ride-share records allegedly place Celeste at his home on the day she was killed. And prosecutors allege Burke sent text messages and made phone calls to Celeste's phone after she was already dead — staging a digital trail to make it appear she had left his home alive.Robin Dreeke and I take your questions on the investigative details, the alleged chain of evidence, and the systemic failures your questions keep circling back to.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The People's Brief filed against David Anthony Burke this week doesn't just describe an alleged murder. It describes what prosecutors call years of calculated exploitation of a child.According to the filing, Burke met Celeste Rivas Hernandez when she was eleven years old. By thirteen, prosecutors allege they were in a sexual relationship. By fourteen, she was allegedly spending summers at his Hollywood Hills home and traveling with him internationally — while people around Burke reportedly had no idea she was underage.The brief details how Burke was contacted by law enforcement after Celeste was reported missing, how deputies told him she was thirteen during a welfare check, and how he allegedly responded by paying a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a phone so he could maintain contact after her parents stepped in.Prosecutors are building the murder motive directly on this foundation — alleging Burke killed Celeste because she was the witness to his own crimes and threatened to expose the relationship that could end his career.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what the exploitation pattern reveals and how investigators connect it to the night Celeste allegedly died.Part 2 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Riverside County deputies called David Anthony Burke. They conducted a welfare check. They told him Celeste Rivas Hernandez was a thirteen-year-old runaway. And according to the People's Brief filed this week, Burke allegedly responded by driving to Lake Elsinore and paying one of Celeste's classmates a thousand dollars to deliver a phone he'd bought — so he could stay in contact after her parents took hers away.The filing describes a pattern that prosecutors say started when Celeste was eleven years old and escalated through international travel, weekends at Burke's Hollywood Hills home, and a sexual relationship that allegedly produced text messages about pregnancy, abortion, and Plan B — all pulled from Burke's own iCloud.Celeste's family reported her missing to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department twice. Deputies contacted Burke both times. And prosecutors allege every system that should have caught what was happening failed to stop it.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the exploitation pattern prosecutors laid out, how a child was allegedly kept hidden in a celebrity's world, and why the abuse timeline is the foundation for the murder motive.Part 2 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
