Podcasts about Lake Elsinore

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?

Her parents took the phone. It should have been over. Instead, prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid one of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's classmates a thousand dollars to deliver a replacement — after deputies had already informed him during a welfare check that she was thirteen years old. In this Hidden Killers Week in Review, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine what prosecutors describe as a systematic effort to maintain access to a child despite direct warnings from law enforcement and family intervention.Coffindaffer brings her FBI behavioral analysis background to the welfare check that prosecutors say should have been a turning point. According to the filing, deputies told Burke directly that Celeste was a minor and that she was missing — and the prosecution alleges he continued the relationship. Coffindaffer explains what that interaction should have triggered within law enforcement, how the alleged exploitation pattern mirrors cases she investigated at the Bureau, and why the prosecution connects that pattern directly to their murder motive. She was reported missing twice. People in Burke's circle reportedly believed she was a nineteen-year-old college student.Scott examines the psychological architecture prosecutors describe — someone who allegedly maintained a sexual relationship with a child from age thirteen while reportedly concealing her age from everyone around him, and whose behavior after her alleged death included reportedly promoting his album on the radio the following morning. Prosecutors allege Burke subsequently ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool under a fake name, with forensic evidence reportedly tying those items to injuries on Celeste's remains. Associates reportedly noticed the smell of decay for weeks. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence through counsel.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?

LAPD reportedly held the Tesla containing Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains for forty-eight hours before releasing it. The autopsy was completed months before charges were filed but sealed at LAPD's request — reportedly over the medical examiner's own public objection. And when prosecutors finally disclosed the scope of digital evidence, they confirmed over forty terabytes of data including alleged child exploitation material from Burke's devices. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines whether the evidence-handling decisions in this case reflect standard investigative practice or whether they represent failures that the defense will exploit.The unsealed autopsy report determined Celeste died from two penetrating wounds to the torso — both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp instrument. One perforated her liver. The other damaged ribs. Her body had been dismembered — arms and legs severed, with blue plastic fragments embedded in the cut surfaces. Toxicology screening returned presumptive positives for benzodiazepines and meth or MDMA. Celeste was fourteen. She weighed seventy-one pounds at examination.Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic profile — what wound characteristics reveal about intent and premeditation, what embedded physical evidence means for forensically tying Burke to the dismemberment, and how the volume and nature of the digital evidence shifts the investigative framework from a single alleged criminal act to what prosecutors appear to be treating as a pattern of conduct involving a minor.The timeline compounds the case. Prosecutors allege Burke killed Celeste on or around April 23, 2025. He subsequently released an album and launched a national tour. On September 8, a tow yard worker reported a foul odor from Burke's impounded Tesla in Los Angeles. Burke performed at The Fillmore in Minneapolis the following night. His representatives initially stated he was cooperating with the investigation. LAPD subsequently said he was not cooperative and that investigators believe he had assistance disposing of the body.People in Burke's circle reportedly believed Celeste was a nineteen-year-old college student. Investigators documented that she was a seventh grader from Lake Elsinore, absent from school for a year, reported missing three separate times across fourteen months. Coffindaffer examines what it takes to allegedly construct and maintain a false identity around a child across that period, and which systems — educational, law enforcement, familial — failed to intervene when the documented record shows repeated opportunities to do so.Burke has pled not guilty. His attorneys say the evidence will prove his innocence. All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The autopsy was completed months before prosecutors charged David Anthony Burke. It was sealed at LAPD's request — reportedly over the medical examiner's own public objection. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family waited without answers while the investigation continued behind closed doors. When the report was finally unsealed, it confirmed what prosecutors had been building toward — and what the defense now has to confront.Two stab wounds to the torso, both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp instrument. One perforated her liver. The other damaged her ribs. Her arms and legs had been severed, with blue plastic fragments embedded in the cut surfaces. Toxicology screening found benzodiazepines and what tested presumptive for meth or MDMA. Celeste was fourteen. She weighed seventy-one pounds at the time of examination. She should have been in eighth grade.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic picture piece by piece — what the wound characteristics tell investigators about intent and planning, what the embedded material means for connecting Burke to the dismemberment, and how over forty terabytes of digital evidence containing alleged child exploitation material reshapes an investigation from a single criminal act into something investigators treat as a pattern.But Coffindaffer also examines the systemic failures. Prosecutors allege Burke killed Celeste on or around April 23, 2025. Within days, he released an album and launched a world tour. On September 8, a tow yard worker in Los Angeles reported a foul odor from Burke's impounded Tesla. The next night, Burke performed at The Fillmore in Minneapolis. His team initially said he was cooperating with investigators. LAPD later stated he was not cooperative and likely had help disposing of the body.People in Burke's circle reportedly believed Celeste was a nineteen-year-old college student. She was a seventh grader from Lake Elsinore who had been reported missing three times in fourteen months and had not attended school in a year. Coffindaffer examines what it takes to allegedly construct a false identity around a child, who should have seen through it, and why the decision to hold the Tesla containing Celeste's remains for only forty-eight hours before releasing it raises serious questions about how critical evidence was handled in the early stages of this case.Burke has pled not guilty.

David Anthony Burke, 21, known professionally as D4vd, has been charged with one count of first-degree murder with special circumstances, one count of continuous abuse of a child under the age of fourteen, and one count of unlawful mutilation of human remains in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 14, of Lake Elsinore, California. Burke entered a plea of not guilty at his arraignment. He is held without bail at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.The special circumstance allegations include murder for financial gain and murder of a witness. Prosecutors allege Burke ended Celeste's life because she reportedly threatened to reveal an illegal sexual relationship that could have destroyed his music career. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has indicated it may consider seeking the death penalty, though no formal decision has been announced.The prosecution reports forty terabytes of evidence across multiple law enforcement agencies, including a wiretap and what prosecutors describe as a significant amount of child exploitation material found on Burke's phone. The autopsy, signed in December but sealed for months at law enforcement's request, lists the cause of death as multiple penetrating injuries to the torso. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled.Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, provides behavioral and investigative analysis of the case in a listener-driven Q&A covering the prosecution's special circumstance strategy, the investigative timeline, and the evidentiary challenges presented by the volume and nature of the evidence.All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The timeline prosecutors have laid out in the David Anthony Burke case is staggering in its alleged audacity. They allege Burke killed Celeste Rivas Hernandez on April 23, 2025, dropped his debut album two days later, and then launched and completed a world tour — performing at venues across the country while a fourteen-year-old girl's remains were allegedly connected to him.He played The Fillmore in Minneapolis on September 9, 2025. The night before, LAPD was called to a tow yard where a worker reported a foul smell from Burke's impounded Tesla. Celeste's dismembered body was found inside.But Burke's alleged behavior is only half this story. Celeste had been reported missing three times over fourteen months. She hadn't attended school in a year. And people around Burke reportedly believed she was a nineteen-year-old USC student — not a thirteen-year-old from Lake Elsinore who allegedly met him through Discord when she was even younger.LAPD held the Tesla for 48 hours to process evidence, then released it back to the impound lot. It was later retrieved under Burke's name and transferred to new ownership. Burke's team initially claimed cooperation with investigators; LAPD later contradicted that, saying he was uncooperative and likely had assistance disposing of the body.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what Burke's alleged behavior pattern tells investigators, how a false identity is allegedly constructed around a child, why the shifting cooperation narrative matters, and whether the evidence handling in this case stands up to scrutiny. This is investigative analysis of a case where every protection allegedly failed one girl.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, twenty-one, professionally known as D4VD, has been charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen years of age, and mutilation of human remains in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke has entered a plea of not guilty. The special circumstances attached to the murder charge — lying in wait, commission of a crime for financial gain, and killing a witness to a crime — render Burke eligible for life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. Prosecutors have not yet announced whether they will seek the death penalty.Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old. She had been reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California, three separate times. She was last known alive arriving at Burke's Hollywood Hills residence in April 2025. Her remains were discovered in September 2025 inside the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to Burke at a Hollywood tow yard, after a worker reported a foul odor emanating from the vehicle.Burke was initially arrested on April 16 by LAPD Robbery-Homicide on a probable cause warrant — known as a Ramey warrant — secured directly from a judge prior to the filing of formal charges. A grand jury investigation had been underway for months, its existence publicly revealed only when Burke's family members challenged subpoenas in a Texas court. Formal charges were filed by the DA's office, and Burke was arraigned and entered his not guilty plea.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides procedural and investigative analysis of the case. She examines the reported tracking data allegedly placing Burke in a remote area of Santa Barbara County during the relevant window, the age-concealment patterns described in reports, the electronics seizures, the burn cage incinerator found at Burke's rental property, the continued evidence retrieval on the night of the arrest, and the public dispute between the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office and LAPD over the sealed autopsy results.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A fourteen-year-old girl's remains were found in the front trunk of a Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard. Seven months later, the man whose name was on that car — singer D4VD, real name David Anthony Burke — was arrested by LAPD Robbery-Homicide on a probable cause warrant signed by a judge. He has since been formally charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen, and mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty.The special circumstances attached to the murder charge include lying in wait, financial motive, and the alleged killing of a witness. Prosecutors allege Burke killed Celeste Rivas Hernandez when she threatened to expose his conduct — conduct they say would have destroyed his music career. His defense team has maintained his innocence and pushed for an expedited public preliminary hearing, stating they want the evidence brought into the light.But the investigation itself is a case study in what happens when secrecy and decomposition collide. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three separate times. She was last known alive arriving at Burke's Hollywood Hills home in April 2025. Tracking data allegedly places Burke in a remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night during the window investigators believe she died. He was reportedly there for hours.Reports indicate Celeste was connected to Burke through Discord as early as 2022. His circle allegedly believed she was a nineteen-year-old college student. Detectives seized electronics from Burke's rental property, where a burn cage incinerator was found on the premises. On the night of the arrest, investigators carried evidence boxes out of a completely different address.The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office publicly pushed back against LAPD's gag order on autopsy results, arguing the seal prevented them from serving the community with transparency. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins the show to break down why investigators moved when they did, what the evidence trail reveals, and what the charging decisions signal about the prosecution's confidence in this case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The charges against David Anthony Burke in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez are staggering — first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child, mutilation of remains. But the psychological questions underneath those charges start years before the alleged crime.How does a 13-year-old end up living with a 19-year-old celebrity? How does an online connection on a Discord server allegedly evolve into cohabitation and exploitation? What does repeated runaway behavior actually mean — and what was Celeste running toward that made her so vulnerable to someone who allegedly knew exactly what to offer?In this first part of a three-part interview series, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings more than three decades of clinical expertise to the table. She's worked in forensic settings, domestic violence shelters, and crisis teams. She's the author of The Minds of Mass Killers. And she sits down with Tony Brueski to dissect the conditions that allegedly allowed a child to disappear into a celebrity's orbit — while every system that should have intervened looked the other way.This is about the before. The family dynamics. The platform accountability. The gap between a Lake Elsinore family and the Hollywood Hills. And the uncomfortable truth about why the "she fooled everyone" defense falls apart the moment you understand how exploitation actually works.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing three separate times before she was allegedly last seen alive walking into David Burke's Hollywood Hills home. She was 13 the first time. Fourteen the last.Her parents are immigrants from El Salvador. They lived in Lake Elsinore — a world apart from the $20,000-a-month rental in the Hollywood Hills where their daughter allegedly ended up living with a rising music star. And nobody in any system — not law enforcement, not the platforms where the connection reportedly began, not the adults in Burke's orbit who saw a young girl living with a famous man — stepped in.In this first installment of a three-part interview series, psychotherapist and violence psychology expert Shavaun Scott sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the before. Not the charges — the conditions. How does a child become this vulnerable? What does repeated runaway behavior actually signal about what's happening inside a home? How does prior exploitation by other adults create a pattern that makes the next predator's job easier? And why is the narrative that Celeste "fooled everyone" with fake IDs not just wrong — but dangerous?Scott brings more than three decades of clinical experience working with both victims and perpetrators of violence. She's the author of The Minds of Mass Killers. She's worked in domestic violence shelters, forensic settings, and crisis teams. And she has no interest in being polite about what went wrong here.This conversation is about the failures that came before the crime — and why those failures keep repeating.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She vanished three times in twelve months. A fourteen-year-old girl from Lake Elsinore, California, crying out for help through repeated disappearances — and every single time, the system filed a report and walked away. Celeste Rivas Hernandez is gone now, and the evidentiary trail that might have saved her life reads like a catalog of institutional neglect.According to grand jury documents made public through a Texas court hearing, Celeste's decomposed and dismembered remains were found inside two cadaver bags in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to David Burke, the musician known as D4vd. Tow yard workers reported a strong odor and insect activity coming from the vehicle, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for an extended period before being impounded. When detectives opened that trunk, they found her head and torso in one bag and her severed limbs in another.The digital evidence trail stretches back years. Celeste was allegedly present on Burke's official Discord server as early as 2022, identified by other users as his girlfriend. She was reportedly twelve years old at the time. Matching tattoos, surveillance footage, and rental property records all allegedly connect the two. Her family says she had a boyfriend named David. Her brother told reporters she left after Burke picked her up in his Tesla. And in the summer of 2024, an anonymous user on Burke's own Discord server referenced a “missing girl Celeste Rivas Hernandez” — a message Burke allegedly never responded to.Burke was arrested on April 16, 2026, on suspicion of her killing and is being held without bail. His defense attorneys have stated that the evidence will show he did not cause her death. The case is expected to be presented to the LA County District Attorney for filing consideration. Investigators have also been looking into a trip Burke allegedly took to Santa Barbara County in early 2025 and its potential connection to the case.On this episode, Robin Dreeke and I take your listener questions and dig into what this evidence means — what it reveals about grooming patterns, investigative failures, and the uncomfortable truth about how the system treats missing children from vulnerable communities.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 21-year-old recording artist known as D4VD, is being held without bail at a Los Angeles County facility following his arrest on suspicion of the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The arrest was executed by LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division at a Hollywood Hills residence on Marmont Avenue. No grand jury indictment was returned. No criminal complaint was filed prior to the arrest. Detectives secured an arrest warrant directly from a judge based on probable cause developed over seven months of investigation.The case originated on September 8, 2025, when Celeste's remains were discovered in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to Burke at a Hollywood tow facility. The vehicle had been parked on a Hollywood street since approximately late July 2025, around the time Burke began a national concert tour. Celeste had been reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California, three separate times — the final report filed in April 2024. She had not been in contact with her family since May 2024.Investigative records indicate tracking data allegedly places Burke in a remote area of Santa Barbara County during spring 2025, consistent with the estimated window of Celeste's death. Electronics were seized from Burke's rental property shortly after the discovery. A burn cage incinerator was present on that property. Additional evidence was recovered from the Hollywood Hills arrest location.The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Major Crimes Division is reviewing the case for filing consideration. Burke's defense attorneys have issued a public statement asserting that Burke "did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and was not the cause of her death," while noting the absence of a grand jury indictment or formal criminal complaint. A court order sealing the medical examiner's autopsy findings, including cause and manner of death, remains in effect.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides expert analysis on the investigative strategy, the decision to arrest without a grand jury indictment, and the procedural implications of the sealed autopsy.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 TikTok star and recording artist known as D4VD — was arrested on April 16 by LAPD Robbery-Homicide for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He's being held without bail. No indictment. No criminal complaint. A probable cause warrant signed by a judge before the DA ever weighed in.For seven months, the case stalled on one question: how did she die? Celeste's remains were found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke — decomposed, placed in cadaver bags, and in a condition that made determining cause of death extraordinarily difficult. According to ABC News, investigators now say they've solved that problem. They believe they can prove this was murder.I break down the full arc — from a 13-year-old reported missing three times in Lake Elsinore to the tracking data that placed D4VD in a remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night, to the sealed medical examiner report the ME's own office fought against, to the defense team's first public statement and what it does and doesn't deny.I explain what a Ramey warrant is and why LAPD used one instead of waiting for the grand jury. I walk through the Discord evidence allegedly going back to 2022, the reports that D4VD's friends believed Celeste was a 19-year-old college student, the burn cage found at his rental, and the evidence boxes detectives carried out the night of the arrest.The DA reviews the case Monday. If charges are filed, this becomes a murder prosecution. If not, Burke walks out of jail. Three layers of secrecy. Zero formal charges. One child who was missing for 17 months and only found because a car got a parking ticket.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

RecLess presents: This Parks &Rec Life - Chase and Kori Ellis. Chase Ellis, CPO, CPRP - Director of Parks and Recreation, Trophy Club, TX and spouse Kori explore a full career, many moves, big kids, and the ups and downs of a parks and rec career.This Parks & Rec Life is a podcast exploring the impact of a parks and recreation career on the lives of the loved ones of a parks professional. Hosted by Hannah Mize, editor and producer of the parks and recreation podcast RecLess, and podcast This Parks & Rec Life, and cohosted by Johnathan Skinner, the Director of Parks and Recreation at the City of Lake Elsinore, CA, and inductee into the 2025 California Park & Recreation Society Hall of Fame.

On November 20, 1987, in Mission Viejo, California, Susan Zaharias abducted her two toddlers—three-and-a-half-year-old Christopher and fifteen-month-old Lisa—after a violent argument with her husband Louis, assaulting his mother and fleeing with almost nothing for the children. Battling severe alcohol, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine addiction that had drained the family's savings, Susan had met Louis in 1977, married him in 1981 despite her family's fierce disapproval, and used relatives to race through Lake Elsinore, California, then Oklahoma, Detroit, Michigan, and several weeks in Greensburg, Pennsylvania before vanishing from Detroit in January 1988. For nearly 39 years Louis has never stopped searching: he sold almost everything he owned to fund lawyers and investigators, kept Christopher's favorite blanket and Lisa's dolls, got matching forearm tattoos of the children, and appeared on Unsolved Mysteries and other shows while moving across states to rebuild his life. Active felony warrants remain for Susan with a $250,000 bond; investigators believe all three are alive with ongoing family contact, and current age-progressed photos show Christopher in his early forties and Lisa nearing forty. Louis still hopes his children will one day learn the truth about the father who never gave up on them.   Branch of Hope: Crimestoppers of NY Crime Stoppers of New York plays a crucial role in enhancing public safety by encouraging community involvement in crime reporting.

In this episode, Gary Jenkins, retired intelligence detective, sits down with veteran true crime authors Frank Gerardot and Burl Barer to examine their book Where Murder Lies, a case that intersects Russian organized crime, Italian mob connections, and a troubling claim of wrongful conviction. At the center of the story is Jimmy Kitlas, a young man who struggled with learning disabilities and instability after aging out of a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. Facing homelessness and limited options, he gravitated toward individuals connected to the Russian mob, seeking protection and belonging. Instead, he was drawn into criminal schemes—including check fraud and drug trafficking—engineered by experienced mob figures who exploited his vulnerabilities. Frank and Burl provide historical context on the rise of Russian organized crime in the United States, particularly in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach. Unlike the rigid hierarchy of traditional Mafia families, these groups often operated through looser networks, engaging in lucrative scams such as gas tax fraud alongside Italian crime figures. The authors explain how these alliances blurred lines between ethnic crime groups and created new power structures within the American underworld. The discussion then shifts to the murder that reshaped Jimmy's life. What began as manipulation and grooming evolved into betrayal, jealousy, and ultimately violence. The authors detail how Jimmy's arrest followed a carefully orchestrated narrative that shifted blame onto him while shielding more powerful figures. Through examination of court records and transcripts, Gerardot and Barer argue that investigative failures and prosecutorial decisions compounded the injustice. 0:02 Introduction and Guests 0:47 Wrongful Conviction Discussion 4:26 Kelly Lee’s Influence 6:33 Russian Mob Background 12:28 Jimmy Kitlas’ Journey 18:47 Investigative Challenges 22:58 The Murder Plot 26:45 Russian Mob Operations 28:29 Geographic Control in LA 31:29 Trust and Collaboration 35:03 Daniel Patterson’s Role 37:10 Conclusion and Book Promotions Hit me up on Venmo for a cup of coffee or a shot and a beer @ganglandwire Click here to “buy me a cup of coffee” Subscribe to the website for weekly notifications about updates and other Mob information.

[0:00] Hey, all you wiretappers, good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wire. This is Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, and I have two guests today. Frank Girdo. Is that correct, Frank? Girdo? That’s pretty good. Gerardot. I’ll take it. Gerardot. Gerardot. Just don’t pronounce a T at the end, right? Yes, sir. [0:24] And Burl Barer. Is it Barer, Burl? Yep, that’s close enough for government work. Joe’s enough for government work. That’s the story of my life, as everybody knows. I like to get it close. And we never let the real facts get in the way of a good story either. So let’s just get going here. We like to tell stories on this channel. That’s what my guys like is stories. [0:44] Stories about the Russian mob and maybe a little bit about the Italian mob. And we also got a story about a wrongful conviction, which is a kind of a hot topic right now. We’re seeing a lot of different things in these true crime shows about wrongful convictions. And there’s been, I think a lot of them have been uncovered. In the last few years because people started paying attention to that a little more than they used to. When I was a policeman, they didn’t pay any attention. Never heard of a wrongful conviction. I really congratulate you investigators and authors and true crime diggers out there that see these things and then go take a look at them because they need to be taken and given a look at. So Burl Baer is an Edgar winning author and two-time Anthony Ward nominee. He’s got a lot of experience in reporting. I see you’ve been in the Hollywood Reporter, even the London Sunday Telegraph, New York Times, USA Today. [1:38] You’ve got, I believe you’ve got some other, what else do you do, Burrell? I watch a lot of TV, watch a lot of movies. What kind of shows have you been on? You’ve done other investigations here. Yeah. I did almost, Frank and I have done most of those shows. Deadly Women, Deadly Sins, Behind Mansion Walls, you know, all. [1:57] Do you name them and claim them? We’ve probably been on them. All right. And Frank Gerardot, you’re a journalist, radio host. You’ve authored several true crime nonfiction books, co-author with Burl on A Taste for Murder, Betrayal in Blue. And you did one with somebody else named Byrne. Oh, that was about John Orr. And I read that book. Actually, I read that book, that John Orr. That was a hell of a story, man. That was a hell of a story. Several years ago. So that’s a, it’s a crazy thing. And that, that, that book really tells the story of John Orr through his daughter’s perspective. Ah, okay. And, and I don’t remember which one I read. I read one. I listened to a podcast about the whole thing all the way through guys. That was the LA County was an LA County fireman, fire investigator who was sat in his own fire all up and down in California. Oh yeah. He would go up North. He was in Southern California. He would go up north to a fire conference and he’d set fires on the way back. It was crazy, craziest story I ever read. And after he got arrested, the number of arson fires in California declined by 70%. I’ll be darned. I’ll be darned. He set brush fires, just all kinds of fires. It was crazy. Name of that book is Burn, Guys, if you’re interested in that by Frank Cardo. That’s the French pronunciation. Yes, sir. Yes. [3:18] So these two guys, they have their publicist, God Hold Me, and they introduced me to this book, Where Murder Lies. It is a fascinating look, and they did a real great examination of the Russian mob, a little connection to the Italian mob in New York City as part of this investigation into really a wrongful conviction case, a wrongful conviction of a kid who was, I guess we don’t use the word retarded anymore. He was mentally disabled and retarded in some manner. I’m not sure exactly how to describe that anymore. How would you guys describe him? So, yeah, I think he’s differently abled. We’ll say that. He’s actually a pretty smart guy. He speaks a lot of languages. He read this book in a night. [4:01] He just, I think more of his problem is that he’s maybe learning. He had learning difficulties. And as you’ll see when we get into the book here, he had a lot of physical and emotional trauma growing up. Okay. Jimmy Kittlis was his name. Yes. And a woman named… Kelly Lee. [4:22] A woman named Kelly Lee got you guys interested in this story. It’s a wrongful conviction story that strays into this mob ties. Who was she? Now, who was Kelly Lee? [4:32] I could tell you about Kelly Lee. She was one of the first people I met when I came to Los Angeles in November of 2003. Three, she was doing intake at Teshuvah, which is a Jewish community kind of rehab for people with all-matter recovery issues. I’d just been through a bad patch, et cetera. He needed some help. She did my intake. Wound up becoming friends with her and her husband. And a few years later, we’re having dinner together. She says, oh, Pearl, you’re a true crime writer. I go, duh, yeah. And she pulls out a handful of court transcripts that are difficult to get nowadays. Thank you. Says, take a look at this. She was, at the time this murder took place, what I would term an unlicensed pharmaceutical supplier on the streets of West Hollywood. Correctly. Gotcha. Marijuana, primarily. Yeah. And she had six arrests for selling pot, which now would probably get her a community service award here. Yeah. Times were different. And when Jimmy Kittlis ages out of the facilities or whatever down in Lake Elsinore. When he turns 18, they just put him on a bus with a ticket to West Hollywood. Goodbye. [5:49] And he gets off. He meets her. She’s a very compassionate person. She can see that this kid is really childlike. Babe in the woods or babe on the street, he’s really going to get taken advantage of. She takes him under her wing like a surrogate mom and tries to tell him and teach him how to survive on the street. And then she said, he’s like a child. Could be really eager to please, super polite, has the intentions man of a goldfish. Oh, look, there’s a castle. Oh, look, there’s a castle. It’d be very easily used. [6:28] It had a lot of sexual energy. He needed a girlfriend. He got one and got her pregnant. And she really tried to help these kids, But she couldn’t be with him 24-7 And she certainly raised her eyebrows When she saw who was spending a lot of time With this couple And that was a well-known fellow In the Russian mob, Yeah, I read that So let’s talk a little bit about the Russian mob So you guys really went in the background When they first came to Brighton Beach Tell the guys a little bit about that background. [7:02] Yeah, sure. As the Soviet Union began to crumble, a lot of Russian Jews found their way to New York, and they found their way to Brighton Beach. And they set up a sort of black market trading system among themselves and within the community with all the sort of standard features of mafia, right? Protection, extortion, sometimes murder, certainly dealing in black market stuff like drugs. [7:32] Clubs, prostitution, just about every kind of crime you can think of happening in a neighborhood that’s protected by a mafia. These guys were controlling in this neighborhood of Brooklyn called Brighton Beach. What I thought was interesting, and readers will probably find interesting too, is that there’s not a real setup like a commission or families. The Russian mob really operates more like Ronin. There’s guys that just independent operators and build up their business based on their relationships and how many people they can pull into a scheme. What we also found is that these guys were pretty adaptable and they picked up on a scam that the Lucchesis and the Gambinos were operating. And that was to get gas, steal it, take it from places where it wasn’t really tracked and put it into gas stations, sell it for maybe a penny less than the guy across the street, but capture the tax, the federal excise tax money and pocket it. And this was a multi-million dollar scheme And to the fine-tuning of it The Russian mob, Worked with guys like Michael Francesi To really extract as much as they could from it One of the guys in our book. [9:00] Meyer Ida, who was in Brighton Beach and operating there, came to Los Angeles in the mid-90s and started up the gas tax scheme. But the feds were pretty wise to it at that point, and he got caught up in the sting. Interesting. If I remember right, some of them were, they couldn’t steal it, but they would set up companies, shell companies, and then buy gas and then sell it a little bit cheaper. And it was up to them to collect the tax and then pay the state. And they do this for a certain period of time. And then they just declare file bankruptcy or just walk away from that shell company and create another little LLC and do the same thing. So just like run after you just couldn’t catch up. You bust out of one and move on to the next one. And that’s what they and you could they change the laws for gasoline purchase changed as a result because you could just go buy it. You can make up a company today, buy it tomorrow, sell it on Thursday, collect the tax on Friday, and bail out on Saturday and start all over again next week. Wow. Wow. There’s a scam. There’s a mob that’s willing to take advantage of a loophole like that. It’s crazy. So they moved out to LA. What other kind of scams? Go ahead. Go ahead, Brett. I was going to say that the Russians were so good at this type of scam, far ahead mentally of the American Mafia. [10:29] They were the best people they ever worked with. They were geniuses. They knew how to do this unlike any other. And in fact, the gas tax scam, the biggest moneymaker for the Russian mob and eventually the American mafia than any other form of income, billions of dollars. Interesting also is that if the former Soviet Union, should probably know, they factor in the Russian mob in their economy. I believe the last figure was 63% of the GNP of Russia was crime. They actually give a figure for it. Here we go. In America, this percentage of our federal income is from crime, but in Russia, they do. 63%. I don’t know what it is in America, But we talked to this Stan, who’s never going to pronounce his last name. And he had been in the Russian mob ever since he was a kid, raised in it. [11:32] And so that’s just what we were brought up with. We didn’t think there was anything unusual. If you were a girl, you were going to be a sex worker. They were respectable. If you were a guy, you were going to do this. And it was never as bad or as evil as the Americans said it was. It was always, the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming. coming. It’s so scary. I noticed you had a chapter titled Glassnose Gangsters. [12:00] I thought that was a pretty tricky title. I also read once that in Russia, they were so used to dealing with corrupt officials and running different scams that were in and around governmental agencies, like the tax collecting thing. They were so used to that, that they really refined this to a fine point than Americans could, because we’re not so used to dealing with corrupt officials. We have some, but not like Russia. Russia was an art in Russia. [12:28] Yeah, and they just took the template and brought it right over here and started earning pretty quickly. So now, how does Jimmy Kittlis, he’s a street kid. He’s one of these, what I call throwaway kids. We have this group of kids on the streets that are 18, 19, 20, use drugs. And lots of times these older men who are gay want to pay him for sex or bring him in and take care of him. Was he one of those kids? Did he get into that kind of a lifestyle? [13:02] He’s a homeless kid. He’s a runaway. And the place that he goes to, Hollywood and West Hollywood, is full of people that want to exploit young boys. Yeah. The lifestyle that he got into, though, was I think he recognized that there would be, people there who were stronger than him and smarter than him and want to take advantage of him. And so he sought out ways to hook up with mobsters because he figured that if he was connected, that would protect him from some of the bad stuff that might happen, especially like sexual exploitation. [13:41] When he goes into a homeless shelter, he peripherally knows about Mark. He asks around about Mark, who’s a Russian mobster. And the homeless shelter introduces them and says, oh, hey, yeah, Jimmy here would like to do some work with you. And so he falls into doing work with Mark and let the scamming begin, as they say. Interesting. Yeah. I read the book how he was, he had such a facility to learn language that he learned Russian pretty quick. And he had other languages. Just one of those people that just could start picking that up. Me work like hell, and I can’t have one conversation, but somebody like that, they just pick it up. I understand he picked up Russian pretty quick, too. Very quickly, and to this day, speaks it pretty well. And that got him some cachet. [14:30] But that only goes so far because, Gary, these guys that come in at a low level and aren’t Russian are really just mules. And that’s really what Jimmy was. He was a mule. Mark’s specialty was Czech forgery. and check washing. And he taught Jimmy how to take envelopes and get checks out of them, change who the check was written to or the amount that the check was drawn for, and go to various banks and cash those checks. And Mark was a pro at it. He had equipment to do it. He knew how the scam worked. He knew that you don’t go to the same bank three days in a row. You go to a couple of different banks and that’s how they got by day to day. [15:18] Interesting. Yeah, I worked one of those little scams once, a little group of people that were doing that. They could have a process that can wash some of the ink off of a check and then put and change the amount and those kinds of things. They’d work, they’d go to grocery stores on paydays. People used to take their grocery, their checks to put grocery stores on paydays plus banks. So it’s a pretty good moneymaker that needs little guys like this to go out and cash the checks while the bad guy sits back and provides the checks and takes most of the money. So it’s interesting. Yeah. And that’s exactly what Jimmy was, the little guy that cashed the check. [15:57] I want to interject something here. Now, Mark was, as Jimmy said, he looked like a Russian mobster. He was a Russian mobster. However, what Jimmy didn’t realize is that the whole family, or most of the family, was involved. Mark’s uncle, Meyer ITF, also known as Mike, was a very prominent figure in the Russian mob in Los Angeles. The fans were very aware of him. He was, shall we say, a big shot. He was the godfather of Plumber Park here. He was the guy. Jimmy didn’t know that. He just knew about Mark. As you know in the book, sooner or later it becomes a situation involving a fortune in gold and smuggled MDMA that puts Meyer in federal custody. Meyer wants out of federal custody. Mark not only is a Russian mobster doing bank fraud, he’s also an FBI informant and a DEA informant and an informant of the Pasadena Police Department. [17:07] Frank says, according to the menu at a Chinese restaurant, going from column A to column B, how do I get my uncle out of prison? Solve a murder. Oh, what’s the easiest way to solve a murder? Plan it. Set it up. Blame it on someone, like maybe Jimmy. Final result, I’ll tell you, Meyer got out of prison. Jimmy went to prison. [17:36] Wow, that’s a hell of a story. Frank can give me more insight on that process, but that’s the short form on how this all winds up fitting together. Yeah, and you guys, when you went back, you had to go back. Could you be able to pull she had transcripts from the court so you could find out who testified were able to get any more information police department’s notorious for not allowing reports to go out i can’t even get them out of my own but and i bet it was really bad on that how did how’d you go about that how’d you start digging into this and get your first clues that you can tell you about trying to talk to the items about this yeah yeah so it’s like an onion i i look at it like that and we had early on kelly shared with us some of the trial transcripts so that’s pretty good yeah there’s a lot of information in there and it and within the trial transcripts there’s names and and dates and so we started picking at it and early on you know we couldn’t get cooperation from any of [18:40] the mobsters yeah we didn’t get cooperation from the fbi or the dea We were able to do some digging. [18:48] And I think the digging led to a congressional hearing on the Russian mob back in the early 90s. And Meyer Itev’s name pops up in that hearing. So from there, I started digging through federal court files using PACER and came across all kinds of court documents involving Mike and then his nephew for various scams they were involved in. [19:21] And then taking those court documents and continuing to research and talk to people and figure it out, we were able to lay it all out. It took us six years to do this, but lay out a narrative of who’s Mike, who’s Mark, who are they involved with, and what kind of things were they operating when Jimmy got involved. And where was everybody when this murder took place? And what we found out was that Mike was in federal custody and had been charged with involvement in a scheme to steal gold from a place in Massachusetts. And how the scheme worked is Mike and his buddy posed as government scientists who were building a nuclear reactor facility in a run-down apartment in Pasadena, California. And they were able to put in purchase orders for the gold and have it delivered to this apartment. And only when one of them misspelled sergeant on the P.O. And sent a fake check did the government catch on and arrest him. [20:37] When they brought him in and charged him with this, the first thing that these guys wanted to do was figure out how they could get out of it. They hooked up with a guy in Hollywood who was involved in a scheme. Yeah. To dissuade a reporter from writing about the actor Steven Seagal. And this guy, his name is Alex Proctor, went to Meijer and another man in our book, Daniel Patterson, and said, listen, can you help me? I need to knock off this reporter. [21:12] Daniel, as you’ll see from reading our book, is a pretty well-connected guy. He’s done some pretty interesting stuff, but murder was the limit of what he would do for anybody. He began to peel back some of the layers of that onion for authorities in that case. And that led to Meyer being in custody. And that was the catalyst for Mark and his other uncle, Gary, to try to figure out how can we get him out? And they believed that the government would let Meyer out of custody if they could inform on a big enough crime. Big enough crime probably wouldn’t be a burglary or a low-level assault or a battery. It had to be something significant. And then this murder happens. Wow. How did they choose this victim? I don’t know necessarily that they chose him, but this guy lived in the neighborhood where Mark and Jimmy hung out, and they essentially manipulated him into believing he was going to have sex with Jimmy’s girlfriend. And then manipulated Jimmy into thinking that, hey, this guy’s going to have sex with your girlfriend. Aren’t you upset by that? Doesn’t that piss you off? Don’t you think you should be a man and do something about it? Yeah. [22:39] Hormones, jealousy, rage, greed. It’s like there’s everything like comes together in this one moment. And we end up with this guy, Alex, who’s a school teacher, just ends up dying. [22:55] So they got motive and means and opportunity. They can manipulate Jimmy into providing all those for the investigated officers. Yep. Yeah. Wow. And, you know, and what, and what really the thing that really, I think, so there’s this event that happens and there’s a, there’s like part of this, there’s a locked door mystery that investigators encounter. But the other part of it is how after the crime, Jimmy was arrested. [23:27] Manipulated into going to a hotel as a hideout that was arranged for him by Mark and Gary Iteve. And as soon as Jimmy’s in the hotel, they park themselves outside and guide the police to the hideout where they arrest Jimmy and his girlfriend. I think I read that initially, after the school teacher was dead, they got in, was it Pasadena? One of the police departments got an anonymous call giving up the body, where it was, the murder, and the suspect. Only one anonymous call. And then they, and then, oh, my God, this was heinous. Let’s mention that locked door. Let’s mention this locked door. This was heinous, heinous. When the police get to the scene of the crime, and they noticed that the apartment does not show any forced entry. Living room, everything, it’s fine. Get to the bedroom, however. The door had been locked from the inside. Jimmy said when he left, he locked the bedroom door from the inside. This is now after the fact. Someone shows up and tries to get in. They can’t because the door’s locked. They want to get in real fast. And they finally get in, practically ripped the doorknob off to get in. [24:50] At the same time, let’s assume it might be the same person, Mark ITM uses the dead man’s telephone to call his lawyer to say, I want to report a murder that we could use to get my uncle out of prison. [25:07] Using the dead guy’s phone. Then after they arrange that, he cuts the wires and leaves. Also wiping the door, the doorknob clean. His fingerprints are in there because he acknowledges he was in the bedroom earlier when Jimmy put the unconscious, still-breathing fellow on the bed. [25:29] He leaves. Mark left, went out and told the girl. Jimmy killed the guy. But when he left, the guy was alive, breathing on the bed. He says, come down after in a minute. So then he tells the girl, we got to go because we’re going to get in trouble with the cops. What are we going to do? So it was a real mess. So to say, who killed this guy? Jimmy had to take full responsibility because he confessed to protect his girlfriend. Also, he felt bad about putting the guy to headlock and throw the old drunk guy to the ground anyway. But then again, how did Mark make a phone call to his lawyer and the dead man’s phone after all that happened? And after the doors ripped open in the apartment to the bedroom. Did he find the guy already dead? Or did he have to help finish the process? Legally, he was found not guilty. Mark was. Just like OJ was. Because did OJ do it? Did OJ not do it? Did he cover for his son? Whatever. But legally, he was not guilty. Same thing with Mark. Not guilty. Jimmy, guilty. Whether we killed him or not. [26:45] We can’t say. We weren’t there. Crazy. Crazy, isn’t it? [26:52] What other kinds of things was this crime family, this Russian mob family? It’s like a family. I’ve read about these. They’ll have that one strong man, and then you’ll have a group that kind of emanates out from that, but yet they’re not part of some larger group. They stand on their own. And so what else, what other kind of crimes were they involved in? Was this talking about MMDA being smuggled into those that’s a party? Rave kind of clubs yeah they one of the things that they did was make a counterfeit viagra one of the guys had a uh an idea to he bought some viagra and he had a plan to set up pharmacies where he could like order viagra through the pharmacy and like with the gas tax right don’t pay anybody have the viagra and sell it and then one of the other guys said that’s a waste of time I got a pill press. Just all we got to do is get the chemicals or some chemicals and put them together and press a bunch of Viagra pills and then we can sell thousands instead of tens. [27:54] And then the gold scheme, which we mentioned, and the MA, the list goes on and on. And within the community of the Russian diaspora, extortion, loan sharking, gambling, prostitution, all those means of making money were on the table and being used. They were familiar with the casinos here in LA, familiar with the how to operate prostitution rings and advertise the services. Very sophisticated group of guys. [28:29] Did they have a geographic area in which they were kind of like the ruling group? [28:35] So that’s the funny thing about LA. And we talk about this a little bit in the book, that LA’s never really had like a mob family. There’s no five families here. If you go back to the 1940s and 50s, there was a guy named Mickey Cohen, who was a mobster here in LA and with help started the casinos in Vegas. But there’s no turf here In LA, if you’re going to set up an operation You’ve got to find a way to work with some of the other mobs In Los Angeles, the Mexican mafia is very prominent And their operation is run out of the jails That’s where their leadership is in the jail and prison system And the soldiers are on the street And that’s where the drugs and prostitution are distributed at street level, operated from the jails. Guys like Meyer or people operating within those turfs, they got to work with the Mexican mob to make sure that they’re not crossing lines. And we chronicle some of that, especially with the MDMA smuggling in the book. [29:44] Interesting. Wow. Yeah. LA’s not really had that, like you said, that five families each has a geographic territory or even had one family, a guy named Jack Dragna, but it was really, it was open. LA was open city. We had a guy from Kansas City went out there in the 50s and fell in with some people out there. And, of course, from Tony Splatro and that Jimmy Fradiano, Jimmy Fradiano, these people from Chicago had some action going down in L.A., but no one mob family controlled L.A. And it’s spread out that you’ve got these neighborhoods over the place that I just wonder if they’re like a Brighton Beach kind of a place that where a lot of Russians had settled in. That was their neighborhood, at least where they did. They all live in one neighborhood. So, yeah, West Hollywood has a Russian enclave. And then there’s a park there called Plummer Park. That’s a gathering place for Russians in the neighborhood to get together and play chess and talk about what’s going on. I live in a neighborhood that has its own little enclave of Armenian mobsters. And their hangout is a donut shop. Yes, I’ve seen that here I have I was at a Starbucks up by the airport And I see these guys all ganged up together And they look like. [31:03] They’re Italians. They look like down at the social club down in the North End. I was retired by then. So I look at these guys. I call a friend of mine back down the intelligence unit. I say, I see these guys and here’s one of their license plates and it’s some kind of a limo service. And so, yeah, that’s our Albanian gangsters. They all hang out there at that Starbucks and then they go to the airport. They have these different things. They haul drug dealers back and forth. We are on to them. [31:29] That’s great interesting people ask Frank and I how is it that you get guys from the Russian mall or the fact with Betrayal in Blue who was a drug cartel guy or guys from the American mafia how do you get them to cooperate with you when you write these books I would like to stand whose name I can never pronounce with a whole section about the Russian mob, where he talks openly about it. And he says, because they trust us and anybody else, they want their story told truthfully. This is their legacy. They don’t want a bunch of BS about them in a book. If it’s been over seven years, they could talk about it. Unless it’s bank robbery, then it’s 10 years. We always tell them, don’t talk about anything you can be arrested for. Although, we’ll appreciate this because you’re doing this podcast. I was doing one, had this guest on, and all of a sudden he’s just talking about killing somebody. [32:35] I said, you can tell I’m kind of getting upset. Turns to his lawyers, he goes, what’s the statute of limitations on murder? Murder. Oh, my God. There isn’t one. Shut up. I have told guys that. I said, I’ll tell you something, dude. Do not tell me something I can’t live with. You can talk to me, but do not tell me something I can’t live with. You cannot trust me if you tell me something I can’t live with. And that’s the main one right there. Fortunately, they trust, People learned that they could trust Frank and I to be honest with them, direct with them, protect them if they need protection. I don’t know about the protection part. I’m not going to protect any. I’m with Jerry. Don’t tell me anything. Well, that’s what I mean. You tell them, don’t cross this line. That’s protection. Please tell them where the guardrails are. Yeah. It’s an interesting thing that we do. I’ve got some guys here and some guys around the country I’ve dealt with. And they reach out to you and they want to tell their story. I wish I could get more of them to want to tell their story. And they want to tell one thing I get criticized for. And it’ll be somebody that’s on YouTube, obviously in the know, and they’ll tell me how I got something wrong. [33:47] You deal with what you got. You deal with the newspaper articles and old court cases and things like that and try to get it right. But you can’t totally get it right. Of course, you don’t get it right as the way somebody else sees it, too. Everybody has a different take on the right story. I found out long ago, if you only rely on law enforcement, you’re not going to get the whole story. No, you got to go. Well, then you’re doing stenography. That’s what I always said. Yeah. Yeah. But it’s hard to get those people to open up, too. Man, it’s. Yeah. I was a reporter for a long time, so I’ve had some practice at it. And I’ve interviewed guys in prison. I’ve interviewed people who pre-arrest, during arrest, post-arrest. [34:26] And I’ve developed a way to talk to people that makes them comfortable. With Adam Diaz that Burrell mentioned in our book, Betrayal in Blue, this guy is a South American cartel member dealing cocaine in the United States. He went on the record and talked about his life doing that. [34:47] And the same thing in this book with Daniel Patterson. Daniel is quite a colorful character. And I interviewed him over five or six weekends about everything that he was involved in, up to and including the stuff that he did with the ITEVs. [35:04] Now, Daniel Patterson, explain who he was to the Russians. Sure. He’s basically a conduit for the Russians. He’s a guy who knew how to make money more legitimately than they did. He had the pill press. he explained the gold scam how to operate the gold scam how to write po’s how to like add a veneer of legitimacy to their business and and make more money by doing that yeah it’s like the scam emails you get you see the misspelled words they greet you in some archaic way this is a scam this guy could take all that out of it and right i always love it without warning people i want to worm. If the woman on the dating site says, I am so-and-so by name, they’re Nigerian. But if you tell them that, then all the Nigerians will stop telling them, I’ll stop using that. But if it says, I am Sally by name, they’re Nigerian. Even if they say they live in your hometown, they’re Nigerian. Good clue. Good clue. You guys hear that out there? [36:12] Yeah listen closely when you trip to one of these emails or one of these online things and you start talking to them they say my name is sally my name is nigerian hang up, how’s everything in nigerian click yeah. [36:31] Guys, I didn’t expect to get that kind of a great clue for my guys out there, but that’s a good one. I didn’t really realize that one myself. Yeah, I am Sally by name. Here’s your clue. Watch out. I was talking to a guy once, a friend of mine. He was talking about some girl that he met online, of course, through Facebook. And he said, she told me she just thought I looked interesting and sounded interesting from my Facebook. And I said, what’d she do? He said, I think she’s legitimate. I said, what’d she do? She’s an entrepreneur. I said, dude, dude. On. Dude. Model and entrepreneur. Yeah. [37:10] Okay. This has been great. Frank Girardeau and Burl Baer. B-A-R-E-R. Yes.

The investigation into the death of thirteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now in its third week of testimony, and the people closest to singer D4VD are beginning to fracture under pressure. Robert Morgenroth, general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three consecutive days being questioned by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. Three days for a non-target witness is extraordinary. According to reports, Morgenroth was overheard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive about one question in particular: why did he never contact police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla? His reported answer was that he wanted to continue with the tour. Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury. Prosecutors responded by seeking a body attachment order, authorizing law enforcement to detain her and compel testimony. She is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, raising questions about coordination within D4VD's inner circle. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024. Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect. Investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in disposing of her body. The case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what these moves signal, why extended testimony often means prosecutors are hunting for inconsistencies, and what legal exposure witnesses face when they withhold critical information. The cracks are widening. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #TrueCrime #GrandJury #LAPD #CelesteRivasHernandez #JusticeForCeleste #RobertMorgenroth #HollywoodHills #TrueCrimeNews #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #WitnessTampering #LegalAnalysis #LACounty #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalInvestigation #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now hearing testimony from individuals directly connected to singer D4VD, and the cracks in his inner circle are starting to show. This week, Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three days being grilled by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. According to reports, Morgenroth was heard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive in questioning why he never contacted police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla.  His reported response was that he wanted to continue with the tour. Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury, prompting the DA to seek a body attachment order to arrest and compel testimony. The witness is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, suggesting she may be part of D4VD's inner circle. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 years old when she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024.  Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect, and investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in the disposal of her body. Sources say the case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking. Despite early claims of cooperation, D4VD has reportedly been uncooperative since the start of the investigation and has remained silent on all public platforms. The grand jury proceedings continue. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #TrueCrime #GrandJury #LAPD #CelesteRivasHernandez #JusticeForCeleste #RobertMorgenroth #HollywoodHills #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The mystery deepens in the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found inside the frunk of pop star D4vd's Tesla after the car was impounded in Los Angeles. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Joel Waldman and a panel of #BestGuests explore the new clues, the evidence left behind and what's next in the investigation. Celeste had been reported missing months earlier from Lake Elsinore, CA, and now, newly released surveillance footage shows the last person seen driving the vehicle before her body was discovered. Investigators have executed search warrants at a Hollywood Hills home linked to D4vd, seizing evidence that may reveal who was last with Celeste and how long she was trapped inside. Despite mounting evidence — including a tattoo match, social-media activity, and vehicle records — no suspects have been named. This disturbing case has left fans and investigators asking: Who put Celeste in that car — and why? #JusticeforCelesteThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Body Found in D4vd's Tesla: The Full Story of Celeste Rivas Hernandez On September 8, 2025, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of a body discovered in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke). The victim was 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California. The Tesla had been towed two days earlier from a Hollywood street and impounded. When staff at the tow yard noticed a foul odor, police were called. Inside the trunk, they found Celeste's remains, severely decomposed and wrapped inside a bag. Investigators immediately launched an intensive probe into how a missing teenager ended up in a car belonging to one of music's fastest-rising stars. Within days, LAPD served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence where D4vd had been staying, seizing items for forensic review. As of late September, no charges have been filed and no suspects named. The cause and manner of Celeste's death remain pending, awaiting full autopsy results. The discovery has shaken two very different communities: the music industry, where D4vd had just released his debut album Withered earlier this year, and Lake Elsinore, where Celeste's family and friends held a candlelight vigil on September 22 to honor her life and demand justice. This episode of Hidden Killers takes you through the full story, from the tow lot to the vigil, with careful attention to what is confirmed and what remains unknown. We explore how investigators are piecing together the forensic timeline, what post-offense concealment can reveal in a case like this, and why the human cost—the loss of a 15-year-old girl—is what matters most. This is not about sensationalism. It's about accountability, community, and the pursuit of justice for Celeste.

Missing since April 5, 2024, from Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, the 5'1" teen with wavy black hair was last seen heading to a movie with her brother. Identified September 11 by Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, she wore a tube top, black leggings, yellow bracelet, and stud earrings—plus a "Shhh…" tattoo on her right index finger, matching d4vd's own ink, sparking intense speculation.LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division leads the ongoing homicide probe, cause of death deferred pending toxicology. The abandoned Tesla, towed from Hollywood Hills after 72+ hours on a public street (not reported stolen), belongs to d4vd among his fleet, reportedly used by multiple people. No suspects or arrests yet; d4vd, Houston-born TikTok sensation with 3.8M followers, 2M+ on Instagram, and "Romantic Homicide" surpassing 1B Spotify streams, was touring abroad on his Withered World Tour—cooperating fully with police, per reps. Seattle's September 10 show canceled; San Francisco's September 19 at The Warfield proceeds, with LA September 20 and overseas October 1 legs intact. Post-Coachella 2025 debut album buzz, backlash hits: Crocs and Hollister dropped campaign ties amid fan grief and online theories.Analytic Dreamz unpacks the tragedy's ties to d4vd's fame, family devastation—Celeste's mother flagged the tattoo match to TMZ—and LAPD calls for no speculation as forensics continue.
