Tragedy: 15-Year15-Year-Old Found Dead In Trunk Of Singer D4vd’s Tesla … Family Says Police Ignored Pleas, Fans Speculate About Other Missing Girls
Hollywood is shaken after the horrific discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found stuffed in the trunk of a Tesla registered to viral track star D4vd (real name: David Anthony Burke).
On September 8, workers at a Hollywood tow yard called police after noticing a foul smell coming from the vehicle. When officers opened the trunk, they found Celeste’s decomposed body, wrapped and bagged.
Burke, 23, best known for his viral TikTok banger Romantic Homicide, is said to be cooperating with authorities. He has not been arrested or charged, but the gruesome discovery has left fans — and Celeste’s family — demanding answers.
A Troubling Relationship
Family sources told The U.S. Sun that Celeste had been linked to Burke long before her death. The teen allegedly struck up a relationship with him years earlier, when she was still a child, sparking major concern from her family.
“I still don’t know a lot,” a source close to Celeste’s mother, Mercedes Martinez, said in Spanish. “But I don’t understand why the police didn’t do more.”
Celeste briefly returned home in 2024, but police never questioned her or looked deeper into her relationship with Burke. Soon after, she disappeared again.
Mysterious Calls To The Family
The family also claims they received strange phone calls urging them to stop posting about Celeste being missing.
“I know someone called her mom and said, ‘Stop looking for her, she’s fine,’” the insider revealed. “They told the family to take down the social media posts.”
Out of fear, relatives complied. Posts disappeared, and the trail went cold — until Celeste’s body was found this month.
Social Media Speculation Explodes
As soon as news of the discovery broke, social media went into overdrive. While police have not linked Burke to any other crimes, some users began speculating online that Celeste might not be the only young shorty connected to him.
TikTok and Twitter threads are already circulating, pointing out other missing teen girls who vanished under mysterious circumstances. Some fans are even whispering that Burke could be a “possible serial predator” hiding behind his sudden rise to fame.
“He’s way too comfortable if a whole body was in his trunk,” one user tweeted. “This can’t be the first time.”
Another added: “Check every shorty that’s gone missing in the past two years. Something feels bigger than just this one case.”
Of course, none of these claims have been confirmed — but the speculation is loud, and it’s spreading speedy.
Silence From D4vd’s Team
So far, Burke has made no public comment. His camp has gone quiet, offering no explanations or denials. The silence has only fueled conspiracy theories online, with fans demanding investigators look deeper.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” one Instagram commenter wrote. “If the police don’t investigate fully, this could go way beyond just Celeste.”
Family’s Devastation
Meanwhile, Celeste’s family is crushed. They say they begged police for help when she first went missing, but their warnings were brushed off.
“They are sickened and desperate for justice,” the family insider told reporters.
Her mother, Mercedes, is said to be inconsolable. After fighting for her daughter’s safe return for more than a year, she is immediately left mourning — and demanding accountability from both Burke and the police.
What’s Next?
The investigation is ongoing, and Celeste’s official cause of death has not yet been released. Burke remains free but under scrutiny.
Advocates say this case highlights how authorities often fail young women of color when they go missing, dismissing their families’ concerns until it’s too late.
For immediately, the question hanging in the air is chilling: Was Celeste the only one … or could there be more?
Until investigators provide clarity, the online speculation isn’t slowing down — and D4vd’s once-rising star is immediately under a very dark cloud.
