Overview
- Fifteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered on Sept. 8 in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd after tow yard workers reported a strong odor from the vehicle.
- Private investigator Steve Fischer says neighborhood video shows the Tesla being moved and indicates who left it in its final spot on Bluebird Avenue, which he believes occurred in late July.
- Fischer says he shared the surveillance with LAPD and claims the last known photos of Rivas date to Jan. 2, 2025, while also asserting there is no evidence her body was moved after the car was parked.
- LAPD has not verified the investigator’s findings, the county medical examiner has deferred cause and manner of death pending lab work, and the district attorney says no case has been presented.
- Viral posts alleging an arrest and a ‘bloody shirt’ merchandise blood test inquiry remain unconfirmed or refuted, including an edited photo falsely shared as a mugshot and an unverified claim about forensic testing of apparel.
