UPDATES IN THE D4VD CASE ON 11/25/25

 UPDATES IN D4VD CASE as of 11/25/25


Background on the D4vd CaseDavid Anthony Burke, known professionally as d4vd (pronounced "David"), is a 20-year-old American singer-songwriter who rose to fame in 2022 with viral TikTok hits like "Romantic Homicide" from his debut album Withered. The case centers on the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a fan from Lake Elsinore, California, who went missing in May 2024 after reportedly heading to meet d4vd for a movie. Her severely decomposed body was discovered on September 8, 2025—one day after her 15th birthday—in the front trunk of a black Tesla Model 3 registered to d4vd. The vehicle had been abandoned for weeks in the Hollywood Hills near his rental home before being impounded. Celeste, a first-generation Salvadoran-American, had a history of running away from home.Key Developments (September–October 2025)
  • Discovery and Initial Response: LAPD confirmed the body was found during a routine impound inventory. Unverified photos surfaced online showing d4vd and Celeste together, fueling speculation. D4vd canceled the remaining U.S. dates of his tour on September 19, 2025, citing the ongoing investigation, but his European tour proceeded as planned starting in October.
  • Early Investigation: D4vd was described as "fully cooperating" with authorities. No arrests were made, and the vehicle was not reported stolen. Toxicology results were pending, with private investigator Steve Fischer (hired by the property owner of d4vd's former rental) noting in early November that a cause of death determination could come around November 10.
  • Items Found in D4vd's Rental: A private investigator reported unusual items in the Hollywood Hills mansion, though specifics were not detailed publicly. D4vd was touring at the time and had vacated the property.
Recent Updates (November 2025)
  • Manager's Knowledge: On November 11, PI Steve Fischer revealed an email sent to d4vd's manager, Josh Marshall, alerting him that Celeste was missing and asking d4vd to "take her home." Marshall had publicly denied receiving it on TikTok.
  • D4vd Named as Suspect (November 18–19): Law enforcement sources told TMZ and NBC4 that d4vd is now viewed as the primary suspect in what investigators are treating as a homicide. Details include a suspicious middle-of-the-night trip by d4vd to a remote area in Santa Barbara County in spring 2025, where he stayed for several hours. Sources also alleged he may have assisted in dismembering and disposing of the body, though this remains unconfirmed.
  • Cause of Death Pending: As of November 10, no charges had been filed, and the only confirmed potential crime was body concealment. However, the investigation escalated, with LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division involved.
  • Public and Fan Reaction: D4vd's subreddit erupted in backlash, leading him to delete posts; fans created a new subreddit focused on his ties to Celeste. His song "Romantic Homicide" (with lyrics about killing without regret) has been scrutinized in media coverage.
Latest Developments (November 24–25, 2025)
  • Court-Imposed Secrecy: On November 24, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted a motion by LAPD Detective Joshua Byers to seal the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's report, including cause and manner of death. This prevents public release of details, such as autopsy findings, on the office's website or elsewhere. The declaration explicitly described the probe as a "murder investigation," escalating from a general homicide inquiry.
  • Corrections to Rumors: LAPD Captain Williams confirmed to the Los Angeles Times on November 24 that the body was not decapitated, dismembered, or frozen, debunking sensational reports from outlets like TMZ. The remains were partially decomposed but intact, likely thawing in the trunk after being left for months (death estimated in spring 2025).
  • No Arrests or Charges: As of November 25, d4vd remains uncharged and free. Toxicology and final autopsy results are still pending, but the sealing suggests imminent breakthroughs to protect the case.
What Happens Next
  • Ongoing Probe: LAPD's elite Robbery Homicide Division continues interviewing witnesses, including Celeste's family (who knew of her plans to meet d4vd). The sealed report could lead to charges soon, potentially including murder, concealment of a body, or tampering with evidence.
  • D4vd's Status: He has gone silent on social media (
    @d4vddd
     on X, with 88K+ followers) and has not commented publicly. His team has not responded to media inquiries. Any tour dates or releases are on hold amid the scrutiny.
  • Family and Community Impact: Celeste's family, via GoFundMe, has expressed grief and called for justice. Riverside County records show her prior runaways, but no foul play was suspected until now. The case has sparked discussions on fan-artist boundaries and online grooming risks.

COULD THERE BE DNA OR BLOOD EVIDENCE IN BRYAN KOHBERGER'S CAR?

  COULD THERE BE DNA OR BLOOD IN BRYAN KOHBERGER'S CAR? ______________________________________________________________________________ Bryan Kohberger’s background in Criminology, which likely  includes knowledge of forensic techniques, evidence collection,  and crime scene investigation, might suggest that he has the  skills to minimize or eliminate biological evidence such as blood  or DNA from his car. However, despite this expertise, several  factors indicate that his car, seized by the FBI, could still yield  biological evidence. Below, I’ll explain why his background does  not necessarily make it less likely for evidence to be found and  why it remains plausible that biological traces could be present. ______________________________________________ Kohberger’s Criminology Expertise Kohberger’s education in Criminology could theoretically make  him more aware of how to avoid leaving biological evidence or  how to clean it up ef...

BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF PETER PAN

                    BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF PETER PAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since Peter Pan is a fictional character, not a real person like  Kanye West or Bernie Sanders, I’ll approach this as a behavioral  analysis based on his portrayal in J.M. Barrie’s original works— primarily the 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow  Up and the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy—with nods to common  adaptations. I’ll treat him as a “case study” within his narrative  world, exploring his actions, motivations, and traits as if he were a  subject, while grounding it in the story’s context. This’ll be a blend  of literary psychology and behavioral observation—fun, but  speculative since he’s not flesh-and-blood. ___________________________________________ Context and Core Identity Peter Pan is the eternal boy, leader of the L...

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OCD AND OCPD

  The Differences Between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD): Characteristics and Traits Introduction Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) are two distinct mental health conditions that are often confused due to their similar names and overlapping themes of obsession and compulsion. However, they differ fundamentally in their nature, symptoms, and impact on an individual's life. OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that cause significant distress, while OCPD is a personality disorder involving rigid, perfectionistic traits that the individual often views as desirable.  Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, as misidentification can lead to inappropriate interventions. This essay explores the characteristics and traits associated with each disorder and highli...

  STEPHAN STERNS WRITTEN WITNESS STATEMENT TO POLICE/DISSECTING TRUTH FROM LIES _______________________________________________________________________    The following is, word for word, Stephan Sterns written  statement to the police on the day of Madeline's "disappearance." After the reading the statement, we will further analyze:  "Dropped off about a block or so from school sometime between 8:25-8:40 a.m. Turned around and headed back towards town. I watched my rearview mirror as she made her way in the direction of school. She was searching through her backpack for something, but still moving in the direction of the school. So, I carried on with my day. I stopped by nearby vape shop but it was closed so I  went home, and left an hour later or so to check the vape shop again. It was open so I bought my vape juice and retuned home. Relaxed with Jenn for awhile. Later went out that afternoon for a few more errands, and returned home around 2:30" ___...

THE MURDER OF RACHEL MORRIN

                                   THE MURDER OF RACHEL MORRIN ________________________________________________________________ Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, was killed on August 5,  2023, while jogging on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in Bel Air,  Harford County, Maryland. She left home around 6 p.m. for her run,  a routine activity on a popular local trail.
