Summary from X: Authorities identified the decomposed body found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla, registered to singer David Anthony Burke (known as D4vd), as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, who went missing from Lake Elsinore, California, in April 2024. The remains were discovered on September 9, 2025, in a Hollywood impound lot after workers reported a foul odor from the vehicle, towed two days prior; police ruled the death a homicide with no suspects named. Rivas's mother confirmed the identity through a distinctive finger tattoo and recalled her daughter's mention of a boyfriend named David, while Burke, who reported the car stolen months earlier, is cooperating with investigators and faces no charges.

Sounds that way we will never know for sure
Teslas have cameras....................
Reported missing April 2024.
Car reported stolen a few months ago.
“Reported missing April 2024.

I listen to crime vlogs... that cut out means nothing... maybe even premeditated...
Just sayin’
The real question is where has the girl been for the last 18 months?
In a freezer... Probably killed her, or she OD’d... And he wasn’t smart enough to figure what to do with her body... Pig farms are great places for body disposal... You just need a friend with a a pig farm. A dumb idea is placing her body in your Tesla, and then reporting it as stolen.
A mid-teen girl, particularly if she’s enamored with the whole rap/music/drug scene, is all too easily led into an unwholesome, dangerous situation - especially in the black world, where we see daily that life is cheap.
Yes, perhaps stashed in a freezer. Or perhaps she was alive for much of the time she was missing.
The length of time from being reported missing and the discovery of the body in a car trunk is not dispositive.
Yes
I have no idea, really, but suspect an autopsy can determine if a body is frozen for a length of time.
Btw, Teslas have the trunk in front, like an old VW beetle?
...I liked my VW beetle. I was a lot younger then.
If she’s been on ice for 18 months, that will be quite obvious in the post-mortem.
I don’t she’s been dead for very long. I do wonder is she’s the one that stole the car, though and been hanging out with low-lives that eventually killed her and stuffed her into her own stolen car.
And what about the Tesla cameras?
I no nothing about Tesla cameras, other that there are cameras that caught the keyers.
ugh *know
Being a mudshark has risks
mudshark - that’s a new one on me.
Whatever it means it didn’t work out well for the 15yo girl.
Yes, it does. Nicole should have proven that.
