Is d4vd Being Framed? Inside the Celeste...

True Crime Today
About this episode
A teenage girl. A viral pop star. A Tesla. A fake 911 call. Is this a murder case—or is it something even more calculated?

In this full-length Hidden Killers investigation, we go deep into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. The vehicle sat for weeks on a public street before being impounded. The odor led to the discovery of human remains. Since then, the internet has exploded with speculation, assumptions, and unconfirmed theories—but the LAPD has not made an arrest, and cause and manner of death remain undetermined.

So what do we really know?

This episode strips away the noise and asks a much sharper question: Is David Burke—better known as d4vd—being framed? We walk you through the timeline, confirmed reporting, and the forensic science behind the case, including a chilling new detail: a voice-changed 911 call sent armed police to the Texas home of d4vd’s parents, just days after the body was found. Was it a prank, or part of a wider effort to harass or implicate him?

We speak about the possibilities—from digital footprints to forensic tripwires in the Tesla itself—and how investigators will use science, data, and chain of custody to separate narrative from truth. This is not about defending or accusing—it’s about what the facts actually show, and where those facts haven’t yet caught up to the headlines.

If you’re here for real true crime storytelling—fact-first, emotionally grounded, never sensationalized—you’re in the right place.

📍 Featuring verified reporting from ABC, TMZ, The Guardian, LAPD statements, and expert analysis from forensic audio specialists.

📍 Trigger warning: This episode discusses the death of a minor and false emergency reporting (swatting). All content is YouTube-safe and free of graphic language.

This is Hidden Killers. And this is the story behind the story.
