Three cases. Three explosive developments. One of the nation's most respected former FBI agents breaking down what it all means. In this extended episode, Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze the newest revelations in the D4VD / Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation, the shocking identification of a second suspect, and the devastating domestic-violence failure surrounding the murders of Charity Beallis and her children. PART ONE: The Inner Circle Cracks D4VD's record-label GM, Robert Morgenroth, spent three days on the stand before a grand jury — an extraordinary sign that prosecutors believe he has information he either can't or won't fully give up. Another witness reportedly refused to appear, triggering a body attachment order. The message is clear: prosecutors are done waiting for cooperation. PART TWO: The Second Suspect Emerges According to Mark Geragos, investigators have identified a second suspect involved “before, during, and after” Celeste's death. Digital forensics — cell data, Tesla GPS, app tracking — allegedly place this individual at critical moments, including a late-night trip to a remote Santa Barbara location. Coffindaffer explains how digital evidence builds timelines prosecutors can take to trial. PART THREE: The Charity Beallis Tragedy Charity spent nearly a year warning the system she would be killed — and one day after her abuser was granted joint custody, she and her two children were murdered. With federal agencies now involved and the suspicious death of his first wife reopened, this case reveals painful truths about strangulation risk, judicial blind spots, and the consequences of ignoring lethality indicators. Three investigations, three pressure points, and one expert who's not afraid to cut through the noise. #JenniferCoffindaffer #D4VD #CelesteRivas #SecondSuspect #CharityBeallis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #DigitalForensics #JusticeMatters Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nearly four years after five-year-old Summer Wells vanished from her home in rural Tennessee, the case remains one of the most haunting missing person investigations in recent true crime history. In November, federal and state authorities quietly returned to the field, conducting a new search roughly nine miles from where Summer was last seen on the 3500 block of Van Hill Road. The renewed activity involved the FBI, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office, immediately raising questions about what prompted investigators to act again after so much time. According to a former FBI agent familiar with how these cases operate, the Bureau has been involved in the Summer Wells investigation since the early days under what is known as a police cooperation case, a formal partnership that allows federal resources to support local law enforcement when needed. In this instance, a tip reportedly triggered the search, and while every tip is logged and reviewed, the decision to deploy specialized teams and heavy resources suggests investigators believed the information warranted serious attention. Reports from the area described excavation and the movement of dirt, fueling intense public interest and speculation, though authorities have not confirmed what, if anything, was found. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains that searches of this scale are not conducted lightly and typically require either a search warrant supported by probable cause or legally documented consent. Warrants, she notes, are preferred in complex cases because they protect the integrity of any evidence recovered and withstand scrutiny in court. Despite public curiosity, law enforcement rarely discloses the outcome of such searches, especially in an active missing child investigation, leaving families and communities suspended between hope and fear. The Summer Wells case continues to be defined by unanswered questions, red flags, and the unwavering effort to uncover the truth. As investigators follow every credible lead, this latest search underscores a sobering reality in true crime and breaking news alike: authorities have not given up on finding answers about what happened to Summer Wells. #SummerWells #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #FBIInvestigation #ChildAbduction #UnsolvedCases #JusticeForSummer #TennesseeCrime #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He kills a man on a NYC sidewalk — then sits at McDonald's for 40 minutes while law enforcement hunts him. He gives his real name without fight, never touches the gun, then talks endlessly in custody. What kind of killer behaves like that? In Part 2, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to interpret the odd psychology and what it might mean for the future of the case. We explore: Whether Mangione looked like a desperate fugitive — or someone who wanted to be caught. What it means that he surrendered immediately, talked about a knife cops “missed,” and revealed sensitive details in jail. The controversial manifesto that named him a “health-care avenger,” his ideology, and the weird fan base rallying behind him. The messy legal battlefield ahead — federal death-penalty exposure, multiple jurisdictions, and court dates stretching months or years. The danger of copycats if this case becomes a martyr-dominated cause. Tune in for a full read of Mangione's mindset, motivations, and what's likely coming next — and why this might be more than just a murder trial. #LuigiMangione #TrueCrimePsychology #TerrorismWatch #CourtDrama #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #CrimeAnalysis #LegalWatch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

As the discussion intensifies, the conversation shifts from global threats to the heart-stopping realities inside a true crime courtroom. What begins as a reflection on bioweapons, lab research, and the dangers of modern terrorism quickly turns into a raw, unfiltered reaction to a high-profile trial entering its third day. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI special agent known for her deep insight into criminal behavior, reacts in real time to disturbing Google searches revealed in court and the increasingly unsettling demeanor of the defendant. Her response is immediate and blunt. As the camera stays fixed on the courtroom feed, she calls out the chilling smile on the defendant's face and describes it as the look of a psychopath, a moment that electrifies the chat and underscores the gravity of what is unfolding. The livestream becomes a blend of breaking news analysis, psychological insight, and courtroom tension as viewers ask the central question: is he really the manipulative figure he appears to be, or is there more to uncover as evidence continues to roll out? Coffindaffer's commentary captures the emotional pulse of day three, where behavioral cues, digital footprints, and trial strategy converge. She speaks openly about her passion for being inside the courtroom, her love of observing proceedings firsthand, and her plan to report live from court as the trial advances. The energy grows as she prepares to head out the door, leaving viewers with the sense that the next updates may be even more explosive. Blending true crime storytelling, expert analysis, and the immediacy of unfolding legal drama, this final segment delivers a cinematic close to a gripping discussion that spans global biohazards all the way to the intimate tension of a high-stakes criminal trial. For audiences drawn to missing person cases, criminal psychology, and breaking courtroom developments, this is a moment-by-moment immersion into the world behind today's most compelling true crime headlines. #truecrime #breakingnews #courtroom #JenniferCoffindaffer #trialcoverage #psychology #forensicanalysis #crimewatch #justice #legalnews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The disappearance of 39-year-old mother of three Ana Walshe remains one of the most unsettling true crime cases in Massachusetts, and the murder trial of her husband, Brian Walshe, is unfolding with intense public scrutiny. In this breaking news deep dive, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, former prosecutor Margaret McLean, and true crime author Kevin Lenehan analyze every major moment from Day 2 inside the courtroom. Brian Walshe stands accused of murdering and dismembering his wife, a case made even more chilling by the fact that Ana's body has never been found. The panel breaks down the prosecution's opening statements, the defense's unexpected claim that Ana died accidentally in her sleep, and the larger implications of a strategy believed to be driven heavily by the defendant himself. The experts highlight what they view as one of the most damning pieces of digital evidence: Google searches in which Brian Walshe typed phrases referencing what to do “after a murder” and how to dispose of a body. Jennifer Coffindaffer describes these searches as spontaneous written admissions, revealing what investigators believe was his mindset in the aftermath of Ana's disappearance. Despite the gravity of this evidence, the panel notes that prosecutors did not emphasize these searches with the clarity or repetition needed to ensure jurors absorbed their full significance. They also express disappointment that the victim, Ana Walshe, was not brought to life in the prosecution's opening narrative, stressing that a vibrant mother of three deserved to be placed at the emotional center of the case. Additional discussion focuses on courtroom audio difficulties, the heartbreaking sound of the Walshe children in the background of recorded evidence, and the broader trend in true crime trials in which the accused often becomes the focal point, overshadowing the victim. This cinematic, investigative recap offers viewers a comprehensive look at the early stages of the Brian Walshe trial as experts examine the choices, the evidence, and the search for justice for Ana Walshe. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #JenniferCoffindaffer #KevinLenehan #JusticeForAna #CrimeAnalysis #MurderTrial #CourtCoverage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's true crime coverage, the focus turns to the newly released police interview recordings of Brian Walshe, the man accused in one of the most disturbing missing person and murder investigations in recent years. In this detailed breakdown, expert analysis from Break the Case with Jennifer Coffindaffer offers rare insight into what investigators saw, heard, and immediately recognized during their early interactions with Walshe. What unfolds in this segment is a cinematic look inside the interrogation room—where seasoned law enforcement quickly sensed that something about Brian Walshe's story did not add up. A key witness on the stand, a highly trained investigator with SWAT and firearms experience, delivered calm, precise testimony that set the tone for the prosecution's case. His background alone adds weight to the state's narrative, but it was his quiet interviewing style—and his ability to let Walshe talk himself into contradictions—that captured the attention of trial watchers. As Jennifer Coffindaffer notes, investigators often rely on silence to let a deceptive subject “dig their own grave,” and that pattern appeared to play out here. The interview tapes also show moments that would alarm any true crime analyst: Walshe's unusually flat emotional affect, his circular explanations, his ability to lie calmly for hours, and the presence of his children during critical questioning. Instead of urgency, fear, or desperation over a missing spouse, Walshe projects control and detachment—behavior that investigators recognized immediately as inconsistent with that of an innocent, terrified husband. As later interviews progressed, detectives openly confronted him with evidence revealing inconsistencies in his timeline and movements.

The true crime world is once again shaken by a disturbing case that raises more questions than answers. The tragic death of Celeste Rivas, who was discovered concealed inside the trunk of a Tesla belonging to David, has ignited a wave of public concern and investigative curiosity. Early reports from KTLA describe the 70-pound woman as dismembered, a detail that intensifies the urgency surrounding this unfolding story. Law enforcement has made it clear that while they acknowledge the concealment of a body, they have not yet brought homicide charges — not because they've ruled it out, but because the forensic picture remains incomplete. In the realm of breaking news and complex investigations, this case mirrors other high-profile mysteries where patience ultimately revealed the truth. Former prosecutor Jennifer Coffindaffer draws a compelling comparison to the Suzanne Morphew case, where investigators built a strong no-body homicide case, only to discover the remains years later. The Morphew investigation demonstrated the slow, meticulous process required for toxicology, forensic anthropology, and bone analysis — all of which could play a crucial role in the Celeste Rivas timeline. As investigators search for answers, toxicology screens are underway, examining everything from illicit substances to possible toxins. Forensic anthropologists will analyze decomposition, insect activity, and skeletal trauma to narrow down the time and manner of death. The public may see silence, but behind the scenes, the scientific process is moving carefully and deliberately. Law enforcement is signaling not weakness, but patience — ensuring that when charges come, they are backed by irrefutable evidence. Meanwhile, this breaking true crime story continues to expand, touching on broader conversations about missing persons, hidden evidence, and how modern forensic science uncovers what the body can no longer speak aloud. As updates emerge, the case of Celeste Rivas stands as a stark reminder of the painstaking work required to bring justice to victims whose final moments remain shrouded in mystery. #truecrime #celesterivas #breakingnews #investigation #missingperson #justice #forensics #crimenews #newsupdate #lawenforcement Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl's body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case. Was this an accident, a cover-up, or something far darker? Despite widespread reports that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause or manner of Celeste's death, the circumstances surrounding her discovery have left both investigators and the public horrified. Coffindaffer details how the Tesla was towed after being parked near David's home for an extended period, the odor of decay leading police to the grisly discovery. The body—reportedly weighing only 70 pounds due to severe decomposition—was found in a space barely large enough to fit golf clubs, suggesting possible dismemberment or deliberate concealment. Evidence was later seized from David's home under a search warrant, though investigators have not confirmed whether the crime occurred there. Experts in forensic entomology and anthropology are now examining the remains to determine how long Celeste had been dead and whether her injuries point to foul play. Comparisons have been made to other high-profile cases, including Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie, as investigators race to uncover what really happened to the young teen who reportedly first connected with David through social media when she was just 12 years old. This heartbreaking story exposes the dark side of online fame and exploitation, as questions mount about how a child's life ended in such a horrific way. Was it negligence, grooming, or a calculated act of violence? As new forensic results come to light, the world waits for justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez. #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #TeslaCase #BreakingNews #ForensicInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #CrimeWatch #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode of Break the Case, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes viewers deep into the troubling disappearance of 9-year-old Melody Buzzard, a case that has captured national attention. What began as a missing person report has unfolded into one of the most unsettling true crime stories of the year — a mother on the run, a child in disguise, and a cross-country trip that ended in mystery. Melody was last verifiably seen in August 2023, and new surveillance footage shows her thin, frail, and almost unrecognizable, wearing a wig and carrying a purse — odd details for a child her age. Her mother, Ashley Buzzard, was photographed in her own disguise, using wigs and glasses while leasing a rental car before driving 1,500 miles to Nebraska. According to Jennifer Coffindaffer, that grueling trip — across California, Nevada, Colorado, and Kansas — raises serious red flags about motive and intent. Coffindaffer breaks down three disturbing possibilities: Did Ashley hand her daughter off to someone secretly? Was Melody trafficked? Or was she harmed by her own mother? As the investigation deepens, FBI agents have served multiple search warrants at Ashley's home, keeping her sequestered for hours while combing through potential evidence. The case has drawn comparisons to the Catherine Hoggle disappearance, where two young children vanished under eerily similar circumstances. This is not just a missing person case — it's a battle for truth between law enforcement, media, and a mother who may be hiding devastating secrets. With Jennifer Coffindaffer's insider expertise, Break the Case exposes the inconsistencies, the clues, and the unanswered questions that could finally reveal what happened to Melody Buzzard. #TrueCrime #MelodyBuzzard #AshleyBuzzard #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #MissingChild #BreakingNews #Investigation #Justice #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a stunning legal reversal that's shaking the true crime and justice world, the Florida appellate court has overturned the $213.5 million verdict in the Maya Kowalski case — one of the most emotionally charged courtroom battles in recent memory. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with legal expert Dave Ehrenberg to dissect what went wrong and what comes next in this explosive new episode of Break the Case. For those unfamiliar, Maya Kowalski suffered from a rare pain condition known as CRPS. While hospitalized, her mother, Beata Kowalski, was accused by doctors of suffering from Munchausen by proxy — a form of abuse involving fabricating or inducing illness in a child. When Beata was prevented from seeing Maya for more than 80 days, the distraught mother fell into a deep depression and ultimately took her own life, leaving behind a note pleading for her daughter's release. A Florida jury later awarded the Kowalski family over $200 million in damages, holding Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital accountable for false imprisonment, emotional distress, and wrongful death. But now, the Second District Court of Appeals has vacated that verdict entirely, citing major errors by the trial judge — particularly around Florida's “mandatory reporter” immunity laws. The appellate court ruled that hospital staff, acting as mandatory reporters of suspected abuse, were shielded by law and acted in good faith when they contacted child protection authorities. This means a new trial will move forward, but only for a limited set of claims: battery, medical negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress on behalf of Maya herself. Beata's death, which once anchored the case's emotional gravity, may only be referenced as context. The decision not only erases a massive verdict but also sets a crucial precedent for hospitals and medical professionals across Florida. Coffindaffer and Ehrenberg's discussion peels back the layers of this controversial ruling — a reminder that even in the pursuit of justice, emotion and law often collide. This is more than a case; it's a tragedy, a legal reckoning, and a lesson in how far institutions will go to protect themselves under the letter of the law. #TrueCrime #MayaKowalski #BeataKowalski #JohnsHopkinsHospital #LegalAnalysis #BreakingNews #JusticeForMaya #CourtAppeal #FloridaLaw #InvestigativeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard should have been in a classroom in Lompoc, California. Instead, she's missing—and the story unfolding around her disappearance is hauntingly familiar to anyone who followed the Harmony Montgomery case. Former FBI agent and expert witness Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to Break the Case to dissect every known detail of this developing investigation, from the last verified sightings to the eerie gaps that have law enforcement scrambling for answers. Coffindaffer recounts how the case began not with a frantic 911 call, but with a report from the Lompoc Unified School District after Melodee hadn't attended school for months. The child's father died in a motorcycle crash when she was only six months old, and her mother, Ashley, appeared to have spiraled since. A chilling interview with Melodee's grandmother revealed a home in squalor, unfit for a child, and a family paralyzed by distance and dysfunction. By the time Child Protective Services intervened, it was already too late—Melodee had vanished. Law enforcement has released a crucial timeline. Melodee was last seen on October 7, 2025, at a California rental car agency, traveling with her mother, who reportedly planned a cross-country trip to Nebraska. Surveillance footage shows the child heavily clothed, possibly wearing a wig—a potential attempt to disguise her identity. As Coffindaffer points out, these details suggest intention, preparation, and deep secrecy. The FBI and Santa Barbara authorities have since executed search warrants, but so far, no confirmed trace of Melodee has been found. Through methodical breakdowns, Coffindaffer urges the public to share Melodee's image widely, drawing parallels to how social media once led to the discovery of Gabby Petito. Every share, every view, could be the one that brings a missing child home—or finally reveals the truth about what happened to her. #MelodeeBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #BreakTheCase #FBIInvestigation #HarmonyMontgomery #CPSFailure #GabbyPetito #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

By the time Child Protective Services intervened, it was already too late—Melodee had vanished. Law enforcement has released a crucial timeline. Melodee was last seen on October 7, 2025, at a California rental car agency, traveling with her mother, who reportedly planned a cross-country trip to Nebraska. Surveillance footage shows the child heavily clothed, possibly wearing a wig—a potential attempt to disguise her identity. As Coffindaffer points out, these details suggest intention, preparation, and deep secrecy. The FBI and Santa Barbara authorities have since executed search warrants, but so far, no confirmed trace of Melodee has been found. Through methodical breakdowns, Coffindaffer urges the public to share Melodee's image widely, drawing parallels to how social media once led to the discovery of Gabby Petito. Every share, every view, could be the one that brings a missing child home—or finally reveals the truth about what happened to her. #MelodeeBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #BreakTheCase #FBIInvestigation #HarmonyMontgomery #CPSFailure #GabbyPetito #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard should have been in a classroom in Lompoc, California. Instead, she's missing—and the story unfolding around her disappearance is hauntingly familiar to anyone who followed the Harmony Montgomery case. Former FBI agent and expert witness Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to Break the Case to dissect every known detail of this developing investigation, from the last verified sightings to the eerie gaps that have law enforcement scrambling for answers. Coffindaffer recounts how the case began not with a frantic 911 call, but with a report from the Lompoc Unified School District after Melodee hadn't attended school for months. The child's father died in a motorcycle crash when she was only six months old, and her mother, Ashley, appeared to have spiraled since. A chilling interview with Melodee's grandmother revealed a home in squalor, unfit for a child, and a family paralyzed by distance and dysfunction. By the time Child Protective Services intervened, it was already too late—Melodee had vanished. Law enforcement has released a crucial timeline.

In one of the most haunting true crime stories in recent memory, former FBI agent and host Jennifer Coffindaffer takes us deep inside the case of Jake and Rebecca Harrow — the parents accused in the horrifying death of their infant son, Emmanuel. What began as a bizarre kidnapping claim unraveled into a dark web of abuse, lies, and judicial failure that left an entire community reeling. Jennifer recounts how Rebecca Harrow first appeared before cameras, tearfully claiming she was attacked in a parking lot while changing her baby's diaper — a desperate plea that soon collapsed under the weight of evidence. Investigators quickly turned their attention to both parents, arresting them after search warrants revealed the truth behind their story. As Coffindaffer explains, Jake Harrow was seen cooperating with authorities, leading them through desolate foothills in search of baby Emmanuel's remains — a chilling visual that underscored the horror of what had occurred. But the case took an even darker turn when reports surfaced of a “Perkins operation” — a covert jailhouse sting where Harrow allegedly confessed to killing Emmanuel and disposing of the body. According to investigators, his claim that he “rolled over” on the baby was a self-serving lie meant to mask years of brutal abuse. Harrow's history of violence was not new; he had previously beaten his infant daughter so severely that she was left permanently disabled. Despite that, a judge released him — a decision Coffindaffer calls one of the most devastating judicial failures in recent memory. Now, with Harrow pleading guilty to second-degree murder and assault on a child, Coffindaffer calls for accountability — not only for the killer but for the system that allowed him to walk free. The mystery remains: where is baby Emmanuel's body? Was he abandoned in the foothills, or discarded in a landfill like so much evidence of a system that failed him twice? #JakeHarrow #BabyEmmanuel #JenniferCoffindaffer #BreakTheCase #TrueCrime #JusticeForEmmanuel #ChildAbuseCase #MurderInvestigation #BreakingNews #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a chilling new episode of Break the Case, retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes listeners deep inside one of the most haunting true crime stories of the year — the mysterious death of Celeste Rivas. Once reported as a missing person, Rivas was later found deceased inside the frunk of a Tesla belonging to her boyfriend, the artist known as D4VD (David). But the details emerging now raise more questions than ever about what really happened in the days leading up to her death. Coffindaffer meticulously reconstructs the case, combining confirmed evidence with new claims from private investigator Steve Fisher. According to Fisher, who became involved after concerns from the landlord of the property where David was staying, critical documents from the original search warrant were never returned or shared — a procedural gap that led him to dig deeper. He claims his investigation uncovered surveillance footage, witness accounts, and digital evidence that point directly toward David's involvement, even as questions swirl about whether others may have helped conceal the crime. Jennifer walks through every disturbing layer — from Rivas' on-again, off-again disappearance, to the chilling discovery of her body in the Tesla's compact front compartment. She examines the implausibility of one small man acting alone, the eerie behavior surrounding the abandoned car, and the inconsistencies in statements that continue to puzzle investigators. With exclusive photos, expert insight, and a methodical review of the evidence, Break the Case delivers a gripping look at how investigators and independent researchers are closing in on the truth. As Coffindaffer reminds viewers, in true crime — every clue, every camera, and every unanswered question can break the case wide open. #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #BreakTheCase #TeslaMystery #DavidD4VD #MissingPerson #CrimeInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping true crime breakdown, Break the Case host Jennifer Coffindaffer takes listeners deep inside one of the most confounding and heartbreaking cases in recent memory — the death of 27-year-old schoolteacher Ellen Greenberg. Found stabbed 23 times in her Philadelphia apartment in 2011, Ellen's death was quickly ruled a suicide — a conclusion that has baffled experts, outraged the public, and devastated her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Greenberg, who have spent over a decade fighting for the truth. Coffindaffer recounts how she first encountered the case, her collaboration with NewsNation's Chris Cuomo and producers, and her personal connection with Ellen's parents. She describes Ellen as a vibrant, beautiful young woman who had everything to live for: a teaching career, an upcoming wedding to her fiancé Sam Goldberg, and a life full of promise. Yet, what should have been a snow day spent safely at home turned into a crime scene that has left investigators and advocates questioning everything. Drawing on autopsy reports, police documentation, and her own experience in law enforcement and SWAT operations, Coffindaffer highlights the inconsistencies that make this case impossible to accept as a suicide. The door lock that should've splintered but didn't. The bizarre calm in Goldberg's 911 call. The troubling fact that Ellen's wounds and the physical evidence simply do not align with self-harm. With over a decade of unanswered questions, Jennifer exposes the cracks in a case many believe was staged — and a justice system that failed to ask the right questions. This episode is not just a retelling — it's a call for truth, accountability, and the reopening of a case that refuses to rest. #EllenGreenberg #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimePodcast #BreakTheCase #SamGoldberg #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForEllen #CrimeSceneAnalysis #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this in-depth interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the latest developments in the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was found in the front trunk (frunk) of an impounded Tesla linked to the musician known as d4vd. Weeks after the discovery, no one has been arrested, and the LA County Medical Examiner still lists Celeste's cause and manner of death as “deferred.” Meanwhile, LAPD executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills property tied to the artist, seized electronics, and traced movements of the car—but no suspects have been named. Complicating things further, legal records confirm that a Texas home linked to the singer was transferred to his mother just days after the vehicle was impounded, raising fresh questions about intent, optics, and possible legal strategy. Jennifer Coffindaffer brings her firsthand FBI experience to explain what's happening behind the scenes—why investigators might delay arrests, how digital forensics and device extractions take time, and how financial movements and behavioral profiling shape the investigative roadmap. We explore the psychological red flags of concealment, the meaning of “cooperation” in active investigations, and how federal agents manage evidence across jurisdictions without compromising the integrity of a case. If you're wondering why this case seems stalled—or quietly accelerating—this conversation lays it all out with facts, not speculation.

In this gripping episode of Break the Case, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer tackles one of the most haunting and confusing cases of the year—the death of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to musician David “D4VD” Burke. With social media ablaze over the lack of arrests or official updates, Coffindaffer steps in to separate fact from speculation and offer a law enforcement insider's perspective on what's really happening behind the scenes. She begins by dismantling a viral rumor: the claim that the FBI is leading the investigation. Drawing from decades of experience, Coffindaffer explains why the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)—with its elite forensics division—is more than capable of handling the case independently. While the FBI may assist in rare, highly specific circumstances, this is not one of them. The LAPD's digital forensic experts, many of whom are trained at the Bureau's own Quantico facility, possess the tools and experience needed to process devices, extract data, and build a case without outside help. The conversation then turns to the most disturbing details: Celeste's history of running away, her complicated relationship with D4VD, and the grim logistics of how her body could fit into the Tesla's compact front trunk. Despite her being labeled a runaway in the past, videos and sightings show that she was often “missing in plain sight”—appearing in public alongside D4VD. With no declared cause of death, investigators face an enormous challenge: how to prove homicide without knowing exactly how Celeste died. Coffindaffer's analysis underscores a chilling truth—behind the silence lies a case that may take months to unravel, with forensic science holding the only key to justice for Celeste Rivas. #CelesteRivas #D4VD #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #TeslaCase #LAPD #HiddenKillers #BreakTheCase #CrimeNews #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Drawing from decades of experience, Coffindaffer explains why the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)—with its elite forensics division—is more than capable of handling the case independently. While the FBI may assist in rare, highly specific circumstances, this is not one of them. The LAPD's digital forensic experts, many of whom are trained at the Bureau's own Quantico facility, possess the tools and experience needed to process devices, extract data, and build a case without outside help. The conversation then turns to the most disturbing details: Celeste's history of running away, her complicated relationship with D4VD, and the grim logistics of how her body could fit into the Tesla's compact front trunk. Despite her being labeled a runaway in the past, videos and sightings show that she was often “missing in plain sight”—appearing in public alongside D4VD. With no declared cause of death, investigators face an enormous challenge: how to prove homicide without knowing exactly how Celeste died. Coffindaffer's analysis underscores a chilling truth—behind the silence lies a case that may take months to unravel, with forensic science holding the only key to justice for Celeste Rivas. #CelesteRivas #D4VD #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #TeslaCase #LAPD #HiddenKillers #BreakTheCase #CrimeNews #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What We Know Now: Verified Facts in the D4vd Celeste Murder Case A 15-year-old found in a Tesla's trunk. A rising artist's name on the registration. That combo lights the internet on fire in seconds. In this opener, we do the opposite of clout-chasing. We slow it down and walk through what's actually confirmed and what smart investigators do first when the spotlight's blinding. With guest Jennifer Coffindaffer (retired FBI Special Agent), we map the sequence cleanly: Hollywood Hills abandonment, tow to the lot, odor complaint, discovery—no dramatics, no leaps. We talk about how a high-pressure case is staffed for success: lead homicide on point, support where it matters, tight scene control so evidence doesn't “evaporate” before it ever hits a lab. And yes, why “no charges yet” is often a sign of discipline, not weakness. Then we frame the car questions without pretending the dashboard is a detective: Who last had control? How long did it sit? What can a modern vehicle actually log that's useful—and what will never be a substitute for witnesses and trace? This is a foundation episode: fewer hashtags, more facts. Reminder: this involves a family and a child. As of this recording, no one is charged; everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down the Disturbing Case of Celeste Rivas The tragic case of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas and rapper David Burke has gripped true crime circles but has received shockingly little mainstream coverage. In this special edition of Break the Case, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes listeners deep inside the disturbing details, exposing evidence, debunking misinformation, and underscoring why this case must not fade into silence. Celeste Rivas was reported missing in April 2024. Months later, her remains were discovered in the frunk—the front trunk—of a Tesla owned by rapper David Burke, known by his stage name D4VD. For three weeks, Burke's vehicle sat in the Los Angeles heat, parked in a neighborhood later searched by law enforcement. By the time the car was impounded and workers noticed the unbearable stench, Celeste's body had decomposed beyond recognition. Investigators determined she had been dismembered, not out of rage but likely for the grim practicality of fitting her remains into the small compartment. Coffindaffer, drawing from her law enforcement background, emphasizes the importance of understanding decomposition, dismemberment, and forensic realities rather than relying on sensationalized misinformation. She explains why public awareness is critical—pointing to the Gabby Petito case, where crowdsourced tips from ordinary people led to a breakthrough. In contrast, Celeste's case has been met with indifference by both mainstream and social media, despite Burke's semi-celebrity status and ongoing tour schedule. This chilling story raises urgent questions about how missing persons cases are prioritized, why some garner national attention while others slip into obscurity, and what role the public plays in securing justice. Celeste was only 13 years old. She deserves her story told, her name remembered, and her killer brought to justice. Stay with Break the Case as we uncover every detail, from forensic evidence to courtroom developments, and demand accountability in a case that should never be forgotten.
