Brent Verner shares his journey from being one of the first eight Army Ranger Combat Assault Dog handlers to working with Naval Special Warfare, bringing decades of operational experience from Iraq and Afghanistan. Brent discusses his first dog Rudy—a "landshark" who licked trees in training but became a combat-proven asset—and the evolution from contract handlers to Ranger-qualified K9 operators.The conversation explores critical lessons learned in combat: why early training didn't translate to operational success, how dogs perform differently under real-world pressure, and the importance of calculated training with specific benchmarks versus "checkbox" mentality. Brent emphasizes that special operations training is deliberately structured with measurable tasks, while many law enforcement programs settle for general training that doesn't build fluency.Key Topics:Combat Assault Dog program origins and selectionReal combat deployments: what worked, what didn'tDogs getting injured and handler decision-makingTransitioning from military to law enforcement mindsetWhy "busy" agencies (like LAPD) create better handlers fasterThe danger of checkbox training vs. calculated objectivesFirst aid and tactical care for working dogsFinding credible mentors who've "no-shit done it"Essential for law enforcement K9 handlers, security operators, and military working dog communities looking to elevate training standards beyond basic competency.Brent Verner Background: Former U.S. Army Ranger, one of first eight Combat Assault Dog handlers, transitioned to Naval Special Warfare, multiple combat deployments (Iraq/Afghanistan), now trains law enforcement and security K9 teams in Pennsylvania.
Johnny Mac focuses on Conan O'Brien hosting the Oscars tomorrow night. O'Brien says hosting isn't about nonstop punchlines but guiding the show, balancing entertainment with acknowledging realities like the ongoing war in Iran, and staying topical as jokes quickly become outdated; he emphasizes heavy preparation while keeping the broadcast organic and ready for surprises. Showrunners note annual monitoring and security support from the FBI and LAPD. Mack highlights multiple O'Brien interviews (LA Times, LateNighter with Bill Carter, The New Yorker, and The Hollywood Reporter) covering topics including returning to host, cold open teases, pay for hosting, the 2022 Oscars hosts, and O'Brien's approach to improvising when things go off the rails.The episode also lists South by Southwest comedy shows and performers for tonight at Creek and the Cave and Esther's Follies, 00:18 Conan Hosts Oscars01:31 Topical Jokes and Safety02:44 Podcast Queue Detour03:18 Bill Carter Interview Highlights06:01 Hollywood Reporter Praise07:03 Oscars Pay and Past Hosts07:55 New Yorker Prep and Chaos09:15 Heightened Persona Talk10:51 Ad Free Subscription Pitch11:14 SXSW Comedy Listings Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening. $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Gavin Newsom recently announced a $19 million ad campaign to combat what he calls “misinformation” about California. But what's the real purpose? Boosting his image ahead of a presidential run. Jennifer Horn joins the show to explain why this stunt — along with California taxpayers funding Kamala Harris's security detail — may amount to an illegal use of public funds. She also breaks down where the city of Los Angeles stands in its preparations for the 2028 Olympics, including serious staffing concerns within the LAPD and Mayor Karen Bass's plan to make the event “car-free.” Then, education advocate and host of the A Time to Stand podcast, Kelly Schenkoske, joins us to expose the rise of “community schools,” a public education model booming in popularity across the country — especially in Newsom's California. While the concept may sound appealing on the surface, Kelly explains why community schools threaten parental rights and serve as vehicles for woke indoctrination.
What happens when a key less-lethal tool disappears from the public order toolbox? A recent federal court order halting LAPD's use of 40mm projectile launchers has reignited a national debate about crowd control, use of force policy and the limits of modern policing. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with Joshua Coleman of the California Force Instructors Association and retired Berkeley Police Captain Spencer Fomby, Chair of the National Tactical Officers Association's Public Order Section, to unpack the ruling and its broader implications for agencies across the country. Drawing on decades of experience in protest response, use-of-force training and courtroom testimony, Coleman and Fomby explore how removing intermediate force options can leave officers with fewer safe alternatives when protests turn violent. They discuss the training gaps that often lead to misuse of less-lethal tools, the growing influence of litigation and policy reform on police tactics, and the difficult balance between community expectations and operational reality when unrest escalates.

On Sunday, March 8, 2026, the sanctuary of pop icon Rihanna and A$AP Rocky was shattered when a 35-year-old Florida woman, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, allegedly opened fire on their Beverly Hills mansion. Armed with an AR-15-style rifle, Ortiz reportedly fired 10 rounds from a white Tesla, with bullets piercing the front gate and an interior wall while the singer was inside.In this episode, we break down:The Attack: A timeline of the 1:15 PM shooting and how LAPD tracked the suspect to a Sherman Oaks shopping center within 30 minutes.The Suspect: Who is Ivanna Lisette Ortiz? We look into her Florida criminal history and her transition from Orlando to Los Angeles.The Warning Signs: Analyzing the disturbing social media posts from February 2026 where Ortiz targeted Rihanna and Cardi B with bizarre accusations.The Legal Fallout: Why Ortiz is being held on a staggering $10.22 million bail and the details of the attempted murder charges.Security & Safety: How Rihanna is ramping up protection and the reported move to leave Los Angeles following the incident.Episode Note: No injuries were reported, but the incident has reignited the conversation around celebrity stalking and the accessibility of high-powered weapons.
This RSMS crew opens with a dramatic update as a 30‑year‑old woman was arrested after allegedly firing multiple rounds from a white Tesla toward Rihanna’s Beverly Hills mansion, with at least one bullet striking the exterior wall while the singer was inside. No injuries were reported, and LAPD confirms the case is under active investigation as authorities search for a motive. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott’s highly anticipated Italy wedding has been called off, following weeks of tension and a blowup argument during joint bachelor/bachelorette festivities in the Bahamas. Reports indicate the split stemmed from disagreements over a prenuptial agreement, despite insiders saying the proposed prenup was relatively straightforward. Prescott and fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos now plan to focus on co‑parenting their two young children. Emotions continued running high when Amy Luciani tearfully revealed that CPS removed Dwight Howard’s daughter from their home, alleging repeated police visits, drug use, and claims that Howard coached his 12‑year‑old son to lie about incidents in their household. Her emotional video, which quickly went viral, described an increasingly dangerous marriage that she says pushed her to finally speak out for the safety of the children involved. The show closes by honoring the legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, as thousands gathered in Chicago for “The People’s Celebration,” drawing former presidents, global leaders, and community members who traveled from across the country to pay their respects. The memorial featured stirring speeches, gospel tributes, and moments that highlighted Jackson’s lifelong dedication to civil rights, unity, and hope.

www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes." Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie. The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.

Episode: 00307 Released on February 23, 2026 Description: In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, David Grabelski shares insights from a 55-year career spanning LAPD homicide, gang investigations, NDIC intelligence work, and teaching at Mercyhurst University. He discusses the early days of link analysis, visual investigative charting, and how analytical thinking shaped real-world investigations long before modern tools existed. David also introduces the “Life Triangle” of time, health, and wealth, and how it applies not only to career progression but to long-term professional sustainability. The conversation explores intelligence failures, the importance of broad experience over early specialization, and why skillsets matter more than tools in the evolving world of analysis. This episode is essential listening for analysts navigating career growth, technological change, and the balance between expertise, impact, and longevity in the profession.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this powerful behind-the-scenes conversation, I sit down with Marc Hildebrand — former LAPD sergeant turned high-performance coach — to unpack what men are actually thinking before they decide to step into brotherhood. We break down the hidden anxiety, ego, embarrassment, and "mind talk" that keeps men isolated, stuck, and spinning in quiet defeat. You'll hear raw audio from one of our members, Tim Cox, as he shares what life looked like before he joined — the mental spiral, the weight gain, the doctor's warning, the loneliness, and the breakthrough that changed everything. This episode isn't just about business or health. It's about identity. It's about the stories we tell ourselves. And it's about the moment a man decides he's no longer doing life alone. Timeline Summary [0:00] Why men feel defeated before they ever ask for help [3:37] Marc Hildebrand's transformation from overweight LAPD sergeant to coach [9:20] Tim's confession: anxiety, mind talk, and feeling like a fraud [11:01] The danger of "should" statements and internal pressure [17:22] Ego, embarrassment, and the fear of being seen [24:58] The doctor's ultimatum: insulin or change [27:01] Dopamine, food, and emotional coping [30:52] Rock bottom isn't a place — it's a decision [34:22] Why you shouldn't wait until crisis hits [37:54] "You're not alone" — the most powerful realization [41:03] The myth of the lone wolf [44:21] Inside Base Camp: the first 6 weeks of transformation [46:19] The BRAVE Man Code framework explained [49:57] Thinking differently and leveling up identity [53:39] Why Larry left a lucrative corporate career to build The Dad Edge Five Key Takeaways Rock bottom is not a location — it's a decision to stop going lower. Ego often disguises itself as embarrassment and self-protection. Isolation amplifies anxiety — brotherhood dissolves it. Health transformation starts with identity, not tactics. You don't have to wait for crisis to change direction.

Buying a Bride: An Engaging History of Mail-Order Matches / L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkThere have always been mail-order brides in America—but we haven't always thought about them in the same ways. In Buying a Bride, Marcia A. Zug starts with the so-called “Tobacco Wives” of the Jamestown colony and moves all the way forward to today's modern same-sex mail-order grooms to explore the advantages and disadvantages of mail-order marriage. It's a history of deception, physical abuse, and failed unions. It's also the story of how mail-order marriage can offer women surprising and empowering opportunities.Drawing on a forgotten trove of colorful mail-order marriage court cases, Zug explores the many troubling legal issues that arise in mail-order marriage: domestic abuse and murder, breach of contract, fraud (especially relating to immigration), and human trafficking and prostitution. She tells the story of how mail-order marriage lost the benign reputation it enjoyed in the Civil War era to become more and more reviled over time, and she argues compellingly that it does not entirely deserve its current reputation. While it is a common misperception that women turn to mail-order marriage as a desperate last resort, most mail-order brides are enticed rather than coerced. Since the first mail-order brides arrived on American shores in 1619, mail-order marriage has enabled women to improve both their marital prospects and their legal, political, and social freedoms. Buying A Bride uncovers this history and shows us how mail-order marriage empowers women and should be protected and even encouraged. L.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy NetworkL.A. Secret Police. Inside the LAPD Elite Spy Network is a New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller. This incredible non-fiction book rips the lid off the LAPD and exposes the reader to its dark underbelly of corruption during the reign of Chief Daryl Gates. L.A. cops ruined lives and reputations, inflicted mindless brutality, committed murder and engaged in massive cover-ups. In Los Angeles, police corruption was much more than unmarked envelopes stuffed with cash. It was a total corruption of power. For decades LAPD engaged in massive illegal spying and lied about it. Its spying targets included politicians, movie stars, professional athletes, news reporters and anyone wielding power or those of interest to Daryl Gates. Incredibly, the spying targets included a Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a Secretary of Defense, a current Governor and the President of the United States. It all happened in Los Angeles.Detective Rothmiller is the modern-day Frank Serpico; he exposed the tentacles of corruption which reached to the highest levels within the LAPD and Washington D.C. It wasn't long after that an assassin attempted to take his life. It was apparent to many that powerful forces wanted him silenced. Incredibly, in this book Detective Rothmiller names names! See why this book changed the LAPD and is required reading at many universities. As former Assistant United States Attorney Marvin Rudnick said, “Rothmiller was in a position to know. He did very sensitive work.”Every book has an ending. However, the ending of this book will shock you. Within the new epilogue is a multi-page essay written especially for this updated book by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist David Cay Johnston. In it he describes his personal experience as a target of Daryl Gates illegal intelligence operations while he served as a Los Angeles Times reporter. You'll also read the challenge posed by detective Rothmiller to the LAPD. A challenge LAPD has refused to answer.Since releasing this updated eBook, Detective Rothmiller has been interviewed dozens of times by the national media regarding current NSA domestic spying and the 2013 murderous rampage of former LAPD cop Christopher Dorner. In late 2013 Detective Rothmiller was interviewed for a major television documentary which will expose corruption and major crimes committed at the highest levels. The documentary is scheduled for release in 2016.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The grand jury investigating the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been running since mid-November 2025 and is now in its most aggressive phase. D4VD's close friend Neo Langston was arrested by seven officers in Montana for failing to appear and testified for approximately thirty to forty minutes. Label head Robert Morgenroth was grilled for multiple days about why he never went to police. Outside forensic experts have been brought in due to reported friction with the LA County Medical Examiner. The ME's chief publicly criticized a court-ordered hold on autopsy findings.D4VD's Tesla — where the remains were discovered — was held by LAPD for only forty-eight hours. Investigators have reportedly built a minute-by-minute digital reconstruction of D4VD's movements. Multiple sources say an indictment is coming. No charges have been filed. No arrests made.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what the prosecutorial aggression signals, how investigators separate accessories from co-conspirators, and what the length of this grand jury really means for the case.#D4VD #CelesteRivasHernandez #GrandJury #TrueCrimeToday #NeoLangston #LAPD #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobberyHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The D4VD grand jury investigation is ramping up. Neo Langston — a close friend of D4VD — was arrested by seven officers in Montana on an LAPD Robbery-Homicide warrant and compelled to testify as a witness. He was in front of the grand jury for roughly thirty to forty minutes. Label head Robert Morgenroth testified for multiple days and was allegedly grilled about why he never called police. Outside forensic experts have reportedly been brought in because of conflict between the DA's office and the LA County Medical Examiner.Five months after Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismembered remains were found in D4VD's Tesla, no charges have been filed. But multiple sources say an indictment is likely. Investigators have reportedly reconstructed D4VD's digital footprint down to the minute. The Tesla was held by LAPD for only forty-eight hours.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what compelled, short-duration witness testimony reveals about what prosecutors already know, how the forensic battles could affect the case, and whether this grand jury timeline signals strength or struggle.#D4VD #CelesteRivasHernandez #GrandJury #NeoLangston #LAPD #JenniferCoffindaffer #RobberyHomicide #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking developments in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation: Neo Langston, the close friend of singer D4VD who was arrested in Montana for fleeing a subpoena, appeared before a Los Angeles grand jury on February 4, 2026. His testimony lasted approximately 40 minutes—a startling contrast to the three full days D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth spent being questioned by Deputy DA Beth Silverman.Langston was taken into custody January 22 at his mother's Helena, Montana, home after a Los Angeles judge issued an arrest warrant. He posted $60,000 bail after being transported to LA and booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center. His brief appearance before the grand jury has fueled speculation: Did he invoke the Fifth Amendment? Are prosecutors already confident in their evidence? Is there a sealed cooperation agreement?The grand jury has been convened since November 2025 to examine evidence in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered remains were found September 8, 2025, inside a Tesla registered to D4VD at a Hollywood impound lot. Private investigator Steve Fischer claims he knows who moved the vehicle based on surveillance footage and has revealed that an unopened burn cage incinerator and unused chainsaw were found at D4VD's former rental property.LAPD has publicly named D4VD as a suspect and confirmed a second individual is believed to have been involved "before, during, and after" Celeste's death. Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton has stated "accountability is coming." TMZ reports prosecutors are pushing for murder charges and an indictment is likely.The medical examiner's findings remain sealed. The grand jury continues hearing testimony through February. No arrests have been made. All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.#D4VD #CelesteRivas #NeoLangston #TrueCrimeToday #GrandJury #LAPD #BethSilverman #TrueCrime #JusticeForCeleste #CelesteRivasHernandezJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Neo Langston finally faced the grand jury investigating Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death on February 4, 2026—but his testimony lasted roughly 40 minutes, a fraction of the three days D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth spent answering questions. The stark contrast has raised immediate questions about what happened inside that Los Angeles courtroom.Langston, a close friend of singer D4VD, was arrested January 22 in Helena, Montana, after fleeing a subpoena. Police took him into custody at his mother's home, and he was transported to Los Angeles and booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center before posting $60,000 bail. His brief testimony comes after prosecutors fought across state lines to secure his appearance.Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman, who has aggressively questioned witnesses throughout the proceedings, declined to comment as she entered the courthouse. Langston left without answering reporters' questions. The brevity of his appearance suggests he may have invoked Fifth Amendment protections, prosecutors already had what they needed, or cooperation is happening behind sealed doors.Private investigator Steve Fischer has publicly stated he's "certain" who moved D4VD's Tesla in late July 2025 based on surveillance footage—though he hasn't named the individual. Fischer also discovered an unopened burn cage incinerator and unused chainsaw at D4VD's former Hollywood Hills rental, raising disturbing questions about original disposal plans.LAPD has confirmed D4VD is a suspect and identified a second individual allegedly involved "before, during, and after" Celeste's death. TMZ reports murder charges are likely. The grand jury continues through February. No arrests have been made. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.#NeoLangston #D4VD #CelesteRivas #GrandJury #BethSilverman #LAPD #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForCeleste #CelesteRivasHernandezJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
