Body of 14 Year Old Girl Found In Singer D4vd's Car - This Is EVERYTHING We Know So Far
[Music]. Bada bing, bada boom. >> It's definitely a weird place for a. black hearse to pull up. If you guys. don't know what a hearse is, it almost. looks like a vintage looking car. And. often times it's associated with death. because most funeral homes, it's a. tradition. You will see caskets or. coffins being transported inside of this. hearse. There are chrome wheels. It's. like a very intense looking car. You're. not supposed to cut it off in traffic. Otherwise, that's a very bad omen. because you're cutting off someone's. final journey to their destination.
That's very bad karma is what people. say. And even if it just stops in front. of your house, people say that's very. bad luck. That means someone in your. house might die. That's the whole thing. with a hearse. There is this building in. the middle of downtown city center with. a whole line of people just standing. outside and a hearse pulls up, parks on. the side of the street right in front of. them. It's interesting because when you. see this video, nobody's wearing all. black. It's not like a funeral. This. doesn't look like a funeral home. And.
they're also curiously staring at this. hearse. Like, why is there a hearse. right here? >> There's a video like someone took a. video. >> Yeah. Standing in the line showing the. hearse, showing some other people in the. line. And you can see that the back of. the hearse is opened up by this man in a. suit. And it takes about four men to. first of all slip off this black blanket. uncovering this silver white colored. coffin. Some people say that the coffin. looks way too small to be a fully adult. coffin. It It's a casket, but it looks.
more so like a child casket. Somebody on. the smaller side. They start rolling it. into the building that everybody is. standing in line trying to get into. And. they look a little bit like, "What is. going on right now?" And none of the. people that are carrying the casket are. saying anything. They just wheel it. straight into the building. Eventually, when the doors open, the entire line of. people are shuffled inside. And. immediately, the first thing they see is. that casket just front and center right. there. There's the white casket on top.
There's all these flowers next to it. There's this funeral wreath. And then. there's this long table. They have a. guest book. All the people are supposed. to sign their name, pay their respects. to the deceased, and there's this. notepad in case you want to write a very. long letter to the deceased. You got to. send your condolences to Itami. There's a picture of Itami. It's a man. in a blood soaked white dress shirt. wearing a white blindfold, which would. be a very unsettling memorial picture.
But thankfully, this is not a funeral. This is David. This is a famous. musician, the one that sings here with. me, romantic homicide. Recently the. Fortnite anthem, Locked and Loaded, Feel. It, which was on the Invincible show, Remember Me, which was on Arcane. Like, he is probably one of the biggest. artists right now, one of the bigger. ones. And it is a concert on his world. tour. You know, the concept and theme is. death, a funeral. There are heares at.
most of his show that bring in this. white silver casket. fans pay their. respects to the dead Itami, who is. David's alter ego in his music videos. It's all very artistic. Some people. think it's a little gimmicky. Some. people think it's very exciting. Until. September 8th of 2025 this year, news. breaks that while David is on tour. hosting fake funerals, the dead body of. a 14-year-old girl is found in the trunk. of his car. Which brings us to the.
questions, is he connected to her? How. is he connected to her? Did he do it? Was she killed? Is he guilty? If so, why. hasn't he been arrested yet at the. filming of this video? And it's been. weeks since her body was found. Was she. dismembered? Why are the police being so. vague? And do the funerals at the recent. concerts mean anything at all? Because. some netizens are saying, "Was David. trying to tell us something?" This is. the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the. little girl found inside of David's.
trunk. [Music]. We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support NECME, the National. Center for Missing and Exploited. Children. They are the nation's largest. and most influential child protection.
organization. And this episode's. partnerships have also made it possible. to support Rotten Mingo's growing team. And we'd also like to thank you guys for. your continued support. As always, full. show notes are available at. rotteningopodcast.com. A few sensitive topics for this case. include allegations of grooming, CSA, as. well as themes like gore, potential. dismemberment, and decomp. Now, a super. big part of this case is that as of. filming this, there have been zero. arrest, convictions, or just really. anything concrete. Besides these little. tidbits of very vague, very polished.
press releases that authorities have. given out, we're going to be covering. all of those details and specifying. which one is confirmed, but basically. function on the assumption that. everything is alleged. We did our best. to debunk and verify all of the online. rumors. And there are there are so many. online rumors. We went down a whole maze. of just online speculations, screenshots, screen recordings, people. posting unreleased songs. And one thing. we can deduce is that we don't really.
know anything at this point. We also. want to disclaim that all screenshots. andor media posted by people online can. be edited or faked. We did our best to. verify and try to get down to the. original source, but even when we did, it's like they could have edited it. It. could have been doctorred. it. There's. no way to say that this is real and. there's no way to even say that that's. the exact person they're alleging behind. the account. So, there's so many. different things until it's confirmed by. authorities. I can't tell you what's. real, what's fake. We tried to do our.
best, but one thing is clear that. everyone involved is technically. innocent until proven guilty beyond a. reasonable doubt. So, with that being. said, let's get started. The musician. David really likes the Korean invisible. string theory and I didn't even know. that that was what it was called and. then I was talking to my dad about it. and it's called in which is a very. intense concept. It's the concept that. every single person in your life you are. tied to them by fate. So in Korea. there's this idea that you are tied to.
your soulmate through your pinkies with. this invisible red string and everything. you do in life is just getting you. closer to meeting your soulmate. Every. single person that you meet on the. street is supposed to propel you closer. to your soulmate. Unless unless you. it up. Unless you're really mean to a. friend and then the string falls off. your finger. Some people believe that. could happen. Other people say there's. no way. You're tied to your soulmate. forever. And it does also get dark. My. dad was telling me that it sounds.
romantic. It sounds like something you. would only see in a Kdrama and it's so. loving, but you could be tied to the. wrong soulmate. >> What does that mean? It's not happily. ever after. It's this idea that every. soulmate tie is formed after 8,000. lifetimes of karmic connections. So, it's almost like after 8,000. karmic reactions, you finally have your. soulmate. But those could have been bad. karmic connections. So, now you're tied. to your soulmate who happens to be.
either a very bad person or is very bad. for you in your life. And then the next. life you live, you're still going to be. tied to that person. And it's just like. this repetition of having the world's. worst soulmate, if you will, to put it. simply and not romantically. >> So soulmate doesn't mean they're perfect. for you. It just means you are stuck. with this person. >> You're going to marry this person. >> Okay. >> Yeah. And you're going to be stuck with. them. But it's not a it's not the. concept of, oh, this is true love. H.
>> some people take it as that, but my dad. was like, "Well, most people don't. considering divorce rates these days.". So, it's it's more so that. Now, in an. interview with Zach Sang, David spelled. D4VD, he says, "I love that theory that. everybody's connected in some way in. some form spiritually." Zach Sang is. asking him to break it down and David. says, "So, basically, it's a South. Korean ideology where from birth we are. connected to our soulmate. That could be. a lover, friends, teachers, anybody. You.
connected to you're connected to them. from birth and you're led to them. through the course of your life to meet. them or interact with them at some point. or to help them. They add something to. your life. It's almost transactional, but it's like an emotional transaction. You're meant to help this person or. you're meant to learn something from. this person. Me and you could have a. string. So, Zach saying is asking, "So, does everybody have a lot of strings?". >> There's so many. Yes, you're connected. to so many different people. >> Interesting. >> And that connection can either be.
severed or not severed depending on who. you ask because there's also the. Japanese version where the scarlet. theory where if you build too much bad. karma that could be severed or if you do. somebody wrong, that connection is. severed and it's not repairable. So. there's different versions of all of. this, but I view it as we are all. connected through the universal emotion. called love. And that's that's why my. album is mostly dealing with the theme. of love and that connection. >> I thought his theme was death. >> Yeah. And death.
>> Love and death. >> Love and death. Okay. >> He says in a separate video, "Everybody. is connected from the invisible life. force that connects you to either your. soulmate or your friends you meet or. people you encounter in your life." And. if that's the case, people are now. digging these videos up. And they're not. even that old. His newest album recently. came out this year. He's on tour for his. newest album, The Withered Tour. And. people are saying, "Okay, well, if you. believe in soul ties, if you believe in. these connections, how are you connected. to the 13-year-old girl that went.
missing 17 months ago in early 2024?". You know, a few years ago, I feel like. there was this Tik Tok trend at one. point. And I don't know how our brain. rot keeps evolving, but it it's it's. song covers, very serious rap songs, very serious love songs, and it's like. if they were all sung by Alvin and the. Chipmunks, and it's just a high-pitched. cover of the songs, and everything. sounds goofy. And sometimes it's. honestly better than the original song. Do you remember where all the TikTok. sounds were also going viral, and it's. like.
>> high-pitched sped up versions of every. song? >> Yes. >> Yes. That's how David gets famous. >> His song, >> not by his own music, but by Alvin and. the chipmunking everybody else's music. He would make edits where he sings. someone's song. Beyonce, Billy Eyish. And. >> he singing it. >> Yes. And then he would Alvin and the. Chipmunks edit it. >> Sometimes it would just be the track of. it and then he would edit it to sound. like Alvin and the Chipmunks. David's. whole career trajectory is by far one of. the strangest things that I've ever read. about. And it's not even it it's just.
strange. I think the fact that the first. few songs he drops hit a billion streams. on Spotify and every song and release. after that has been so successful. I. didn't know anything about David. I knew. his songs. I didn't know him online. because a lot of people actually knew. him online through his Tik Toks, his. viral memes and his Tik Toks. But I. would think that if you told me he was. an industry plant, I'd be like, "Okay, no, I could see it because he just blew. up out of nowhere." But it's actually a. very strange coming up story. He's. >> How long has he been around?
>> He was a Fortnite YouTuber first. >> He's a YouTuber. >> Yes. But he was not very big. He had. about a few thousand subscribers. He's. been around making videos probably since. like early 2020 because he does talk. about how it was the best time to be. gaming on Fortnite was during 2020 co. >> But he really starts popping off a. little bit in 20 end of 2021 2022. >> Wow. >> So it's only been like 3 years. Yeah. >> And so he says in an interview, like I.
was a Fortnite YouTuber for a really. long time. He says that I think he said. he was since 2017, >> but he said, "I really wanted to be a. content creator and a streamer and all. that kind of stuff. I was making. montages on YouTube of my gameplay. You. know those people that do the Fortnite?". Yes. Okay. Putting music behind it, trying to be the best Fortnite player. >> And then my videos got copyright strike, so I couldn't make money off of it. And. I was like, "Yo, I don't know what to. do." because he's just playing like. Jay-Z in the back of it, which of course. you're gonna get copy stried. And he. says, I was like, "Yo, I don't know what.
to do." I go to my mom. I'm crying. I'm. like, "Yo, mom. I'm not making money no. more. I don't know what to do.". >> She's like, "How about you make your own. song?" I'm like, "All right, bet. Let me. do that.". >> He starts making music on his iPhone. He. Googles how to make music. >> That's Wow. >> He downloads Band Lab and he goes into. his sister's closet and he uses his. wired headphones to make his very first. song. He uses his sister's closet. because he said the kitchen had too much. echo. The living room was too big. His. bedroom was also not great. So, her. clothes are basically the insulation for.
the closet studio. And there is no AC in. there. So, the first day that he decides. to make the song, he is sweating in. there for 6 hours. He's just YouTube. tutorialing his way through the entire. thing, finally creates his first song, drops it, and he's telling everyone in. the Fortnite community, "Hey, if you're. getting copysted like I did, use my. song, and I'm not going to copy strike. you. It's royalty-free. Like, I got you. So, these are people that have been very. pissed off about copy striking. So, yet. they're going to use his freaking song. And he said it goes crazy. But it really.
only goes crazy in the Fortnite. community. >> Mhm. >> Meanwhile, he's working at Starbucks, still making the Fortnite montages, but. with his own music now. And then he gets. fired from Starbucks. Like, he has the. very strange life story. He says his. manager had given him this discount. code. The manager's like, "If you ever. need to buy a sandwich and you're $3. short, use this code.". >> Mhm. >> He uses it a few times. He thinks it's. an employee discount code. When new.
hires come in, he's training them, telling them the code, and explaining. it's an employee discount code. So, once. in a while, if you're $3 short, just use. the discount code. It's not an employee. discount code. He gets called to the. manager's office and they accuse him of. committing felonies. >> Wait, I'm confused. What is that code? >> I don't know. He never really further. explains. >> that is weird. So is that is that like. kind of like a hack that oh just use. this you get a little discount and he's. he just start telling him why just use. this. >> I think so. And I think he only saved. like $14. He only used about $14 of it.
But um the manager says you're. committing felonies. So he gets fired. It's not the same type of felonies nor. comparable to the severity of what he's. accused by the internet as of right now. of having committed. David states that. Starbucks accused him of committing many. crimes and he was fired. And he said, "These are all the sandwiches that you. stole from us in the past 3 weeks.". Like, this is what his manager is. telling him. David argues again. He. thought it was a discount code. And he. was like, "Just take it out of my. paycheck." But they refused. He said the.
whole situation was just crazy, bro. And. I was like, "You know what? It's a. blessing in disguise. That means I get. more time to work on music, which I'm. already about to make money on." You. know what I'm saying? >> So, I'm about to make money off music. I. really don't need this job right now. I. really just just focus on Fortnite, focus on music. >> People were just demanding more music. And David says, "It just kind of became. this thing where the music was getting. more popular than the Fortnite videos. My Soundcloud numbers surpassed my. Fortnite video numbers." It was getting. crazy. >> What are those songs that's released or.
are they just like random? >> They're out. >> They're out. >> Yeah. Yeah, they're out. >> They're big now. >> Uh they're big now. >> Even the first few that he made. >> Yes. but they're they're not doing the. crazy numbers that his next few songs. make. So after these Fortnite songs, he's still making these songs, but he. decides that not just on Soundcloud, he. wants to get attention on Tik Tok. So. Tik Tok, he mainly is still just posting. Fortnite videos. And now Alvin and the. Chipmunks, that's his Alvin and the. Chipmunks era. He also starts posting.
random memes and everything is like. Alvin and the Chipmunk pitch. And then. he drops a few of his most famous songs. casually. Here with Me, the very famous. song and Romantic Homicide, both of. which have over a billion streams on. Spotify. These are dropped before he has. a record label. So then the record. labels, they start calling him. They. start reaching out to him, asking him to. sign. And side note, he lives in. Houston, Texas. He's homeschooled. And. his mom says he came downstairs one.
night and we were in the kitchen and he. said, "I have something to tell y'all.". And I was like, "What?" He was like, "This label was calling. They keep. calling this label and that label's. calling." And we were like, "What are. you saying? Like, stop playing around.". His dad legitimately thought they were. getting scammed by fishing emails until. they're flown out to LA and they have. meetings with multiple record labels. David's mom has this little journal. called David's Music where she takes. notes of all the meetings with the. labels. And then eventually they sign. with Innercope, which is owned by.
Universal Music Group, UMG. It's. actually very fascinating. So, in 2022, he has 118,000 monthly listeners on. Spotify. And right now, he's sitting at. 38.5 million monthly listeners, which I. believe on Spotify, only 100 or 200. artists in the entire globe have 35. million monthly listeners or more. >> He has had a recent push in his music. because of everything that's been. happening, but. >> No. Yeah. >> But he's been like he's gotten that big. Wow. >> He's opening for Siza's SOS tour. he.
opened for that tour. [Music]. And I do think that a lot of people like. to find reasons to hate people who. suddenly get famous. And like again, I'm. telling you everything that's happened. in the context of that time, not in. 2025. This is when he first starts. blowing up. So just giving you the. context. From what I can tell, he's he. was very generally well-liked at that. point. It's very hard for people to even.
argue that he's not talented. I know. that there's lots of musicians that pop. off on Tik Tok and people are always. like, "They're not even that good. It's. not even great music. It's just Tik Tok. viral songs." Most people would probably. admit, maybe not now, but 2 years ago, that he does seem objectively talented. A lot of his aura also comes from the. fact that he's very abstract, if you. will, on how he creates music. He. definitely has a whole process to it. He. still likes to primarily record on his. phone. Even if he goes to the studio to.
collaborate with very big artists, which. he has done, he will come back home and. record it on his phone and that will be. the one that's released. >> H. >> which I do think a lot of people liked. that. He said at one point he was making. nine songs a day. The overwhelming. majority have not been released, but I. think um in hindsight this adds to lots. of people's speculations that there have. been unreleased songs. So, it's clear. that he has a huge vault of music that. has yet to be released. I think a lot of.
people also like the fact that he did. get a vocal coach at the height of his. career, which a lot of artists will have. one, and a huge factor for that being. you can blow out your voice to the point. where you cannot sing for weeks at a. time, which would be your livelihood. It's it's very important. But David says. that he had a vocal coach for a minute, but quote, "But then I realized I. started this thing in the most. unorthodox way possible, just off. Fortnite and Band Lab." So, I quit and I. turned to YouTube tutorials, looked it. up on YouTube. I remember I was training. for the big show in Houston the other.
day and I was like, "How to do vocal. warm-ups and how to do vocal runs just. on YouTube before the show." And I was. just going crazy on YouTube, bro. Which. sounds like he's a very relaxed artist. who doesn't really care. But one. reporter who interviewed David for a. magazine cover says he is not going to. let anything stand between him and. making his dreams a reality. His career. blows up so quickly that there is just. no transitioning into it. David says, "I. went from never going to a concert. The. first concert I went to was my own and. now I'm I'm doing a 50 show tour. It.
>> was crazy. I mean, having no prior. knowledge of any concert, any show. My. parents never took me to any concerts. and having my first show be my own show. was probably the best way I could have. approached live shows. >> David goes from being homeschooled to. suddenly moving to the Hollywood Hills, going on tours, opening for SIZA. He. does say that homeschooling took one of. the biggest tolls on him, just the. isolation aspect of it. He says, "I made. a couple of friends that were. homeschooled, but there was no. extracurricular activities. It was just. me at home playing Fortnite, getting.
school work done, learning how to code. and build computers for 4 years." Wait, how old is he? >> He was only homeschooled for 4 years in. high school, but right now today, he's. 20 years old. >> He's 20 right now. So, and this is like. 3 years ago, right? So, he was like 17. >> Yes. >> 17, 18. Wow. >> Wait, is he? Yes, he's 20 right now. >> H. >> But one of the big outlets he has when. he's being homeschooled is parkour. Parkour. Literally. David's dad grew up. doing martial arts, so he wanted his.
sons to have some sort of discipline. created through that type of hobby. So, they go to a parkour warehouse. David. did go viral because he attempted a. backflip at Coachella and he lost. infinite aura. That was like the meme. because he tried to use the stage as. leverage for a backflip. It was very. slippery, so he just fell straight on. his back and his neck. He says, "I'm. embracing it. We all miss a backflip. once in our lives." But even the guys. that work at the parkour facility in. Houston, I mean, they've known David for.
a minute. They say that when he started. homeschooling for high school, they. could tell. They say, "I could just see. the shift in his energy. >> I could I could see the shift in his. energy.". >> This becomes important later. I' I've. always kind of noticed when he would. come in just headphones on, it was just. the fact that I think he he felt very. disconnected. David says, "Transitioning. from public school to home school is. tragic. I thought I had a lot of friends. in middle school and then after being. homeschooled, nobody's hitting me up, nobody's asking me where I'm at, why am.
I not coming to school today? It made me. question. what is the real friend? Like, do I have. any of those? He says, but it was cool, I guess, because I did find a lot of new. passions, just being alone and finding. myself individually, being myself and. being a nerd and watching anime and not. being made fun of for watching anime, like doing this, that, and the third. So, just to give you an idea, David's. whole aura online is creative, artistic, religious, grew up in a super Christian. household in Texas, somewhat sheltered.
from homeschooling, but ultimately very. talented. People say that he's genreless. or well, that's what they said, that he. was very genreless. He didn't have a. specific style that he stuck to. He. seemed very experimental. He doesn't. give off that very strong bad boy. around in LA type of aura. He. seems very chill, familyoriented. September 8th, 2025 at 12:30 p.m. employees from Hollywood Tow, they call. the police. The report reads, "There is.
a 2023 Tesla Model Y that is emanating a. foul odor and attracting flies." A few. things are worth noting. September 8th, 2025 is a notably colder day in the. Hollywood Hills, so it's not even thick. and humid and muggy weather. The car. just has that strong of a foul scent. And the car has been impounded. The car. is in the tow lot, meaning someone. called the tow company, a resident from. the Hollywood Hills, and said, "Hey,
there is this car on the street that I. live on, and it's been there for like 3. weeks. It hasn't moved in that spot for. 72 hours. Can you come tow the car?" So, they towed the car. It's not towed. because it has a flat tire. It's not. towed because it was in a car accident. It's just parked on a random residential. street and it has Texas license plates. The neighbors thought it was weird, so. they're like, "Can you guys please just. come get this car?" It's in the towyard. LAPD show up to the scene. They open up. the front trunk and inside of a bag is a.
dead body. According to TMZ, and you can. decide how you want to take this. information coming from TMZ, but. according to them, the body found in the. Tesla was chopped up and heavily. decomposed. Also, the word usage there. is strange, but they're alleging that. she was whoever the body was at this. point was dismembered. According to. Times, the remains are described as. quote a head and a torso. Now, the LA. Times have since revised that and they. have changed it to quote, "Initially, the remains have been described as a.
head and a torso." But they don't. elaborate. So, they don't say, "Correction, this is what was originally. reported, but never mind." It just says. that's what was previously reported. So. there are all of these debates online of. was the body dismembered, was the body. not dismembered, was the body in pieces. because demp was so bad. Was it a. natural process of the decomposition or. was it not a natural pro? There's a lot. of debates. We don't even really have a. time frame of death that can be.
confirmed. >> Some reports are saying that the body. was dismembered, others are saying in. pieces. So, as of filming this, take it. as you will. But what is confirmed is. the dead body was found inside the trunk. of the Tesla. They run the car plates. The car is registered to David Anthony. Burke, famous musician. D4VD David. At. first, for 2 seconds, there are brief. concerns and questions online that it. was David himself in the trunk. But. since he's on tour, it's quickly. verified that he is very much alive and.
well, at least physically. But then, who. is in the car? That same day, a Tik Tok. from March 9th, 2023, so this is years. ago, >> two and a half years ago. Yeah, >> that starts circulating and the video. starts showing up on people's feeds. again. The algorithm is pumping it out. after 2 years. It's a creator by the. name of Nicholas and he's in the aisle. of a grocery store. The camera's rolling. behind him and it's obviously a bit. It's like the hey, what do you do for. work type of hey, how much do you pay. for rent? It's one of those Tik Toks in. a grocery store. He sees someone going.
through the chip. Excuse me, quick. question. Quick question. The guy looks. up. It's David. He's wearing a white. dress shirt covered in blood. So. remember his Itami alter ego. That's You. can tell it's Itami because he is always. wearing a white dress shirt covered in. blood. >> Is this like a character he's playing. right now? >> Uh it's a character in his music videos. that shows up frequently in pretty much. almost all of his music videos for the. past 3 years. >> Oh. Every video. >> Almost all of them.
>> Wow. >> Almost all. In this one, he's at a. grocery store dressed up as that. character. I see. >> And there's like a bloody handprint on. one side of the shirt. He's holding a. giant tub of tied laundry detergent. When he turns around, Nicholas notices. I mean, it's obviously a staged. collaboration. Oh What are you up. to? >> You call me my work clothes, bro. You. know, I got the tie. I'm trying to clean. up a little bit. You think Tyler's going. to get all that out? I hope so. What's. your name, David? How are you feeling. today? It's raining outside. I got I. think I got a cold. I'm kind of sick.
What song you put on when you're in bed. and feeling sick? Romantic homicide. How. does that one go? I'm scared. >> And in the middle of the chip aisle, David starts singing, "I'm scared. It. feels like you don't care in the back of. my mind. You died." The video starts. getting pushed out to the algorithms. once the news breaks that a body was. found inside of his trunk. And so people. are questioning and looking at it very. strangely because yes, coincidences and. like we don't have a lot of information. We don't know who is in the trunk. body. has yet to be identified. David is on.
tour when this body is found. So, there's not a strong connection that. people are side eyeing too heavily by. this point. It's just it's weird. And. this video people are almost making. memes. I don't think it's appropriate, but they are making memes of like, oh, work clothes, you say. So, what do you. do for work? So, there's all of these. questions. It's not like a strong, he's. guilty of something. Lock him up. He did. something. It it's more so this is all. weird and the internet is going to do. what the internet does, but that's all.
we really know at this point. I mean, and it's practically nothing. We know. that a body is found in his trunk. We. know that his Tesla was left out on a. public street outside of his Hollywood. Hills house that his manager was renting. that David was most likely living in. So, the lease is under his manager's. name, Josh Marshall. But David is most. likely living there. The Tesla was. parked for the past 3 weeks, but 72. hours it hasn't really moved. People in. LA do not play about parking your car on. the street without parking permits. It. gets towed to Hollywood Tow. They call,
they say it's a scent, and this car has. never been registered as stolen, >> which doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't. stolen. It just has not been reported as. being stolen. So, as netzens are waiting. for updates, simultaneously, people. online are digging up another music. video to the song One More Dance by. David. And this starts going viral. clips of it start going viral. immediately on Tik Tok. This was posted. February 7th, 2025, so almost exactly 8.
months before a body is found in David's. car. The music video opens with Itami. wearing the bloody dress shirt and a. white blindfold dragging another version. of David, regular David, dragging his. unconscious body onto the ground. We're. going to dive deeper into this whole. music video later, but um he's dragging. the unconscious version of him and then. two more people come up and they throw. his body into his trunk. >> So like he has so many videos about. death.
>> and trunks and cars. >> Yeah. So everything is like, "Oh my god, look at this.". >> And blood and funeral. And at the time. that the news breaks, he has those. caskets at his concert. So it's like. this is happening when the news breaks. It's not a tour from last year. It's. going on right now. >> Yeah. >> And they drive off in this car. And more. on that later, but David described that. music video as the other two people that. show up to help Itami put David in the. car. They're cult members that love.
Itami and they're going around with. Itami in the trunk and they're burying. David after I die. And Nisonens are just. confused and weirded out at this point. But again, none of the comments by this. point in time are saying that he's. guilty. They're just saying, um, this is. very strange. This is odd. This is. weird. What are the odds that he has a. music video where he's shoving someone, albeit himself, into the trunk of a car. and then there's a dead body found in. the trunk of his car? Like, the odds of. that must be pretty low, right? Others.
are saying it's not that low. Putting. bodies in the trunk of a car is like a. movie stereotype. Everybody does it, but. that's not an admission of guilt. That's. not really evidence. A lot of netizens. at that point feel like perhaps it's a. reach. Perhaps we should all go outside. and touch grass. It's actually a strange. traumatizing circumstance for everyone. involved. Probably even David is how. nizens feel because I mean first of all, whoever is found deceased, their family. members are traumatized. But David is. 20. He's on tour. His car is impounded.
The speculation that nizens have is his. car was probably stolen by someone in LA. and they used it to hide a dead body and. now he's connected to this and he's this. young man just starting his career. He's. probably also traumatized and all these. speculations are just getting crazy. because there's been no official. statements being made. The police don't. arrest David. So, everyone's just making. statements. Some people even get very. mad at brands like Hollister and Crocs.
Hollister and Crocs have a. collaboration. David was the main model. for that collab. They quietly pull most. of his images from the Hollister. website. >> Huh. >> This is before the body is identified. Okay. Just to give you an idea, when the. body is found in David's trunk, there is. a layer of suspicion. There is a layer. of strangeness, but it's an overwhelming. feeling of this is weird. And we. typically don't like to give people in. Hollywood the benefit of the doubt. because they all do some weird stuff. However, however,
>> I mean, look at his past career. Look at. his history. He seems like a nice guy. and he's on tour, so it's not like he's. in LA and they find a dead body. It it. just seems like it's just a very shitty. circumstance for everyone. >> I mean, David, yes, but mainly the the. deceased and their family, whoever they. are. But once the body is identified, I. will say everything changes. So, just. bear with me at this point. People are. saying, I mean, Hollister them pulling. that. People are commenting. I hope. David's fans boycott Hollister because.
>> immediately the day of the day after. >> It was like the day after. >> Wow. >> Innocent until proven guilty. Another. comment agrees. I agree. The poor guy is. on tour and this happens to him. I mean, it's probably freaky for a 20-year-old. to go through. Others are saying, "I. guess it's good advertising for. Hollister because now everyone knows. about them. But it's also not good if. this guy is completely innocent. No. one's going to risk working with them. ever again. Eventually, Hollister and. Crocs make a statement which reads, "Very plainly, we are aware of this. developing story. With respect to the.
current situation, we have removed the. campaign content featuring David while. the investigation continues." Again, very vague. News networks are trying to. get police to give them more. information, trying to reach out to. David's camp. All they get is David's. spokesperson telling NBC News that the. singer has been quote informed about. what's happened. >> Mhm. M that makes it sound like he just. found out informed about what's. happened. And although he is still out. on tour, he is fully cooperating with. the authorities. So, it's vague, but if.
you look into this vague statement, it. sounds like, well, maybe it sounds like. David had no clue what was happening. The this car was impounded, there was a. body found, it sounds like he just heard. about the news along with everyone, and. now he's doing everything to be as. helpful as possible with the police. But. it's also not really something he's. involved with because why would he not. come home? He's still going on his tour. dates and he's cooperating with the. authorities. So, it feels like it's his. car, but that's about the extent of the. connection. >> Oh, he's still going on tour dates.
>> Yeah. The very next day he has a show. Oh, just you wait because we know people. who went to that show. Well, not know. them, but we found people who went to. that show. He does a show the next. night, September 9th. >> H Okay. >> So, people are thinking he's not being. forced to come back to LA. He's not been. arrested. The wording of the. spokesperson, he's been informed. Sounds. like he just found out. He's cooperating. with authorities and he's still on tour. That makes it sound like it's bad. It's. a really sad situation, but he's just.
not involved. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's the feeling. >> Mhm. >> And so people feel sympathy for him. initially. It also just doesn't really. click that David would be involved. People are saying, I mean, look at these. Tik Toks of him. There's one where he's. walking down the street and he sees a. performer on the side of the street. playing a guitar singing David's very. famous here with me song. David just. casually hops on and gives everyone on. the road a private concert. He seems. really humble. The person who posts the. Tik Tok says he is so sweet. Like he was.
so kind to everyone. One netizen from. months prior comments, "I love his. humbleness. My daughter has seen him. twice in LA and he's so sweet and his. mom loves him too." So it seems like. they ran into his mother as well. People. point out he seems very down to earth. In one interview he says, >> "I always try to keep a very peaceful. peaceful aura. Approach everybody with. peace and love.". >> Even with his concerts, he says he wants. to make it feel like a show. He says, quote, "I try my best to sing to them. and make it the best experience that. they can because some of these kids,
it's their first concert, and I'm. surprised that it's my concert that. they're going to first." So, I try to. make everybody feel as important as they. need to be. And it's just it it's. insane. So, people are saying, "Look at. him. He's such a likable person. It. doesn't make sense. In a separate. interview, he's asked even about the. strangest place that he's made a song. He says, "IH hot bathroom." Oh, yeah. I. got a I got a beat pack, which is just. like a pack of beats. Literally just. files of beats while I was having dinner. after church with my family on Sunday.
So, again, family oriented. And I was at. an IHOP and then I got some beats and I. was listening to it on my AirPods and I. instantly got inspired and I was like, "Yo, I need some quiet." So I ran with. my phone to the bathroom and I recorded. the whole verse in the bathroom. >> Yeah, it's like all the reverb. Yeah, you hear toilets flushing in the. background. >> People are asking online, "Does that. really sound like someone that would be. connected to a death?" Besides, the car. was sitting there for the past 72 hours. David hasn't been in LA from what we. know in the past 72 hours because of his.
tour schedule. It's actually been. reported that he probably hasn't even. been in LA for the past month because of. his tour. Reported. He's traveling with. his entire team. Probably not getting. free time right now. This is I mean. tours are crazy. Celebrities, they say. it's like the most insane thing you'll. ever do. It's clearly unrelated to him. Also, he hasn't been arrested and it's a. Tesla. That's what netisonens are. saying. They're commenting things like, "Don't Teslas record?" So, if it if it's. found in a Tesla, I'm sure the first. thing the police do is check the Tesla.
footage and then they see David has. nothing to do with it. Otherwise, they. would have immediately arrested him. He. wouldn't have gone to his next show. That's what people are commenting. Others are saying, "Yeah, I was under. the impression they record everything. cuz there was that guy that had. scratched up all the Teslas in a car. park and they got him because everything. was recording. No one was inside any of. the Teslas, but it was all recorded." So. they're like obviously if he's not been. arrested and it was in a Tesla, which. side note, I do think you can turn that. feature off if I'm not mist. >> Mhm. >> I do think so. But that's what people.
are writing online. Others are. speculating it's a serial killer. There was a body found in a Honda in a. South LA towyard a few days prior. If. they find any other bodies in towyards. in cars, it will appear as though we. have a serial killer on our hands. Another one reads, "A second vehicle in. South LA was found to contain a dead. body also in a towyard. I feel like. there's a strange pattern here. There.
was indeed another body found inside of. a Honda Civic in South LA on August. 25th. This is a completely separate. towyard and South LA is relatively quite. a distance from Hollywood tow. Details. are pretty limited. However, the. investigation is not tied to the. Hollywood Tyard investigation. The. police have confirmed that. But one. person comments, "How bad is your luck. that a car that you are driving has a. dead body in the trunk?" Or maybe you. abandoned the car on purpose. The whole.
thing is crazy. Some people are saying, "But isn't it weird that he's still on. tour?" One person comments, "I'm sorry, but if a dead body is found in my car, I'm going to go home and figure it out. It seems weird, but others are fighting. back. Like, it's not like he's Sherlock. Holmes. He's going to go home and figure. what out? The police are figuring it. out. He's cooperating. He should cancel. all of his f like, do the fans get. refunds? So, people are having these. back and forth conversations. We were. able to connect with people who went to.
the concert September 9th. So, this is. like less than 24 hours, well, probably. a little more than 24 hours since the. body has been found in his trunk. I. don't know when he found out about it, but it's less than 24 hours since the. public has known. He has a concert that. night in Minnesota and they were under. the impression that David is not. connected at all. >> Who was the people in the crowd? >> Yes. >> So, everyone at that point has heard of. the news, but nobody's thinking, oh,
something more. It's just a really. bizarre event that happened. >> Yeah. So, we were talking to um I'm just. going to say them because they don't. want to be identified, but they as in. it's a group of friends that went to the. concert in Minnesota and I was talking. and asking a bunch of questions about. that concert and they said no. I mean, everyone in the crowd, nobody was under. the impression that something suspicious. was going on. It was not a weird energy. of like, oh, it's sus, but I already. bought my ticket. It was genuinely he is. not connected. In fact, there were even. conversations of like, we need to make.
sure that mainstream media does not try. to drag down a person of color without. evidence because so far there's no. connection. And like, of course, the. media does in fact do that. You know, there have been lots of cases where that. happens, which is the these are very. valid concerns, but they were just. saying like that was the energy. Like. everyone is like, "No, like clearly he's. not involved. The police did not name. him as a suspect. He's not flying back.
to LA. He's cooperating with the. authorities. It just sounds like a. really sad random coincidence. They. describe his energy that night as quote, "He performed as if nothing was wrong. Had a ton of energy and pep. I remember. he threw some liaboos into the crowd, but he also, okay, this is hindsight.". He also gave extra attention to two. child fans on the second floor balcony. He signed one of his merch t-shirts for. the little girl. I didn't see any. caskets at this concert, which would. make sense. There wasn't any more. >> Oh, really?
>> Yeah. >> Is that like a change he made after the. discovery? >> Yeah, it seems like it. >> Huh. >> I couldn't verify that every single. place had a casket prior, but. >> this one doesn't. >> Yeah. Which would make sense even if. he's unconnected. Not connected. >> Just out of respect, it would make. sense, right? >> Yeah. >> So that at that time, they did not think. that was strange. There was also not. heavy security presence. It was just a. normal concert. They say in hindsight, the only thing that they found strange, okay, they did find this strange at the.
concert as well, but even more so now, is that David kept encouraging men in. the crowd to keep being performative. But I will say David is chronically. online from what it seems. And I do know. that that was like a huge conversation. recently, like performative men. conversation, >> but he just kept saying stay. performative. >> and like the men stay performative. Do. you like matcha and lab boooos? >> And they they said it was just weird. It.
was just kind of like weird things to. say in a concert cuz you're like trying. to hype up the crowd. You're trying to. connect with them and then to be like, "Where are my men at? Stay perform.". It's weird. Like are they supposed to is. that a disc? Is that not a disc? like. who who's being dissed? It doesn't make. sense. It was weird. Or like where are. my performative men at? But one thing. was strange. There was no encore. So. after a concert, it's pretty customary. that all the artists do a show of like, "Okay, bye." And then everyone's like, "Oncore, encore." And that's like the.
whole point. You chant and then the. artist is like, "Fine." And they do like. five or six more songs. And then even. when they walk off for good, usually. people will still scream encore in like. the tiniest sliver of a chance that. they'll do a second encore, which like. doesn't happen often, but you you can. never not try. There was no encore. So. they don't know if I don't know. Yeah. Is it because people were trying to be. respectful that maybe he had a lot going. on outside of the concerts or if it was. just maybe the energy was not great at.
the end, but they didn't mention it. wasn't great. He just ran across the. stage at the end saying, "I love you, Minnesota." And that was about it. I. will say that the concert goers that I. talked to, they very much regret. attending had they known all the new. developments. They never would have. gone. And they actually feel like it's. been weighing on them that they went. Um, but they do say genuinely if you see. online people had gone to that concert, you'll see that some people are just. dogging on them and they're saying at.
that time you have to realize like it. was different at that time cuz things. were developing and they're developing. at a quicker pace right now. But at that. time most people even online they either. didn't know David and they were making. memes or they were making jokes or they. knew David and they were like oh this is. like sad situation all around. And then. there were obviously a group of people. that were like this is suspicious, this. is strange, but it was not the majority. And the roll out of information is. excruciatingly slow. And I don't say.
that as in the authorities should tell. us everything. I actually think it's. good when they don't, especially when it. protects the integrity of the case, although I'm not sure that's what's. happening here. But it's just so slow. and it makes people online try to look. for their own answers. The medical. examiner issued a statement stating that. the victim is a female about 5' 1 in. tall, weighing 71 lb, curly black hair, wearing a tube top with black leggings. in a size small, a metal stud earring, and a metal chain bracelet, like a.
yellow colored one in the shape of a W. The Emmy states that they have not yet. determined her exact age or cause of. death, but the police are investigating. the case as just um a death. investigation. So, a lot of people were initially. fixated on the victim's height and. weight with some saying either this is a. very malnourished person. >> or this is a child. >> Yes. 71 lb. Crazy. >> Even for a child, I do think that's. quite thin for 5'1 in. Eight days later,
however, September 17th, 2025, the body in David's car is identified as. 14year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. News reports often state that she was 15. years old, but according to the Emmy. reports, she was found severely. decomposed on September 8th, 2025. Her. birthday is the day before, September. 7th. So, it is very likely that she.
would have not made it to her 15th. birthday. The Emmy further states she. appears to have been deceased inside the. vehicle for an extended period of time. before being found. And the timeline is. a little hard to piece together. There. is a report that states that August. 27th, so this is 12 days before Celeste. body is found in the trunk. A report is. done where authorities come out to give. the car a citation and they do note a. big dent in the rear end of the Tesla. They mark where the Tesla is parked with.
white chalk to see if it's going to move. around. >> Oh, the car has been sitting there for. 12 days. >> Okay, so it's all very vague. Some. neighbors are saying, "We've seen that. Tesla around for like the past 3 weeks. just kind of. >> they don't necessarily say moving. around, but it seems like no one's. paying exact attention of where that. Tesla is parked every day." So, they're. like, I feel like we've seen that for. about 3 weeks, like that car. >> But it is confirmed that the car had not. moved in the past 72 hours, cuz that's. when you can tow it. That's why they did. the white chalk. They eventually tow the.
car, >> but the police came out to write the. report. >> Yes. >> When was it again? >> That was 12 days before. So, they just. report like a big dent, >> but it's not like immediate. It's not. like 72 hours. Let me come back. It just. seemed like it was, >> you know, no one had it didn't seem. urgent. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But then Tesla also. have like insane you can log it like so. you can check everything. >> Yeah. >> Where has it been? The neighbors say the. car has been around and the medical. examiner says the body is decomposed to.
the point that examiners could not. determine age, eye color, and ethnicity. >> When it is revealed that the body. belonged to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, people find out that she went to school. about 80 miles out of Los Angeles in. Lake Elsenor. Celeste's been reported as. a missing child multiple times prior. But most recently, she was reported. missing April 5th of 2024. So, well over. a year ago. >> Mhm.
>> But the big question now is where has. Celeste been since April of 2024? How is. she connected to David? How did she die? Where was she for the past year? What. was she doing? Was she with David? The. only tidbit of information the public. gets once she's been further identified. is um well this some people knew about. this information prior to the. identification of the body. A lot of. reports on TMZ were talking about it but. I think maybe some people take TMZ with. a many grains of salt naturally.
She does have a sh tattoo like sh. tattooed on her right index finger in. red ink which David also has a matching. one. The people who are fans of David or. wanted to give him the benefit of the. doubt before Celeste is identified, when. they hear that news, they think it's not. the most uncommon tattoo. Rihanna made. it popular. So Rihanna had that tattoo. David's a musician. He's probably very. much into Rihanna. It just seems like.
lots of people have that kind of tattoo. Maybe it's like having a butterfly. tattoo. It's not the most crazy, insane, unique piece that's ever been done. >> Mhm. >> But comments read, "There's only three. options. This dude needs to change his. circle or he's involved or he's got too. many damn cars." So, people are saying. either someone in his circle did this. because David was There's also reports. that lots of people had access to the. car. That's what the police said. David's crew, probably his camp, his. team, everyone had access to most of his.
vehicles. I'm assuming he's a celebrity. He's on tour. It seems like everyone. could get in. Maybe assistants used it. Maybe his manager used it. I don't know. Right. So, it seemed like lots of people. were in and out of that car. So, people. are saying either someone in his circle. did it or he's involved or he has so. many cars they're getting lost and. stolen and all these weird things are. happening. But then the same day, a. tweet starts making the rounds online of. the original poster. So, this is the. original poster of the tweet. They're. saying David Discord chat shows matching.
name Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Not a good. look at all. Looks like some people. knew. Basically alleging that yes, the. body has been identified. And not only. that, there are connections between. David and Celeste. They're saying this. is not a random link. This is not a. random body that's been found inside of. David's trunk. This is somebody that he. knew perhaps intimately. And this OP on. Twitter, they start posting screenshots. of a Discord server. So, Discord, if you. guys are unfamiliar, it's like a. messaging app. People join a server and. then you can just like talk to everybody.
on that server. And David is in that. server. So, this is David's Discord. server. And he's been very active. He's. previously spoken about Discord in. interviews. He's even pre-released songs. on Discord, I believe. So, this is a. very big part of his life. October 23, 2022, 18 months before Celeste is. reported missing. She would have just. recently turned 12 years old. David asks. in the Discord, "Celeste in here?". Question mark. Question mark. Question. mark. >> Just Celeste, not her full name.
>> Yes. >> How do we know it's okay? That's all he. say. Celeste. >> Yes. Okay. >> A username Celeste responds back, "Hi, David Bark." So, making a fun day at his. name. David Burke is his real name. >> Then in another screenshot, it shows. March 28th, 2024. 1 month before Celeste. is reported missing and 18 months before. her body is found. >> Mhm. A bunch of Discord users are. debating David's dating life, writing, "I don't know. I know he never had a. girlfriend, but who knows? He might have. had like a sneak like a sneaky link.".
Other users report back, "He has a. girlfriend." Another one writes, "Pretty. sure he's dating right now." What? Yeah. School emoji. Skull emoji. Her name is. Celeste. He said he was never in a. relationship ever in his story. Like, he. put on his Instagram story that he's. never been in a relationship. Someone. just comments, "She's so pretty. Wait, show me." That's about it for that. conversation. Then August 5th, 2024, so. 4 months after Celeste is reported. missing. This is about a year before her.
body is found. Someone on the server. writes, "Drop the one. Drop the song. The one with the missing girl, Celeste. Rivas Hernandez. This is a screenshot." So, like I said, screenshots can be edited, can be. altered, but I would say that most. netizens are on the page of this is a. legitimate screenshot. >> Dude, that is crazy. Someone dropped the. full name. >> Yeah. So, this is not. Are people trying to find can people I. guess you can't really find out on um. Discord. >> Yeah. And it's just like there's a lot. of Discord drama we're going to get. into. >> Wow.
>> Up until this point, all the other. messages seem like they can be explained. away. One easy explanation would be. there's more than one Celeste, which is. later evident, but we will get to that. But these. this last message is weird. Mhm. >> The original poster to all of this goes. pretty viral, which a good chunk of. people are accusing him of faking these. screenshots. So, he goes to screen. record the Discord chat logs to prove. that it's not photoshopped, which I. guess he's either a master photo shopper. or these are real chat logs that indeed.
did happen on a server. But that's not. even the part that nitizens find weird. The part that people find suspicious is. right after he releases all of this on. X, he posts another screenshot. He's. been kicked from the Discord server. He. writes, "Yeah, so I screen capped every. username and ID, sent it to the. authorities. Can't post them on here. since I don't want to get sued for. defamation or doxing them." Then another. Tik Tok starts going through everyone's. algorithms. Which appears to be David in. a parking lot getting out of his black. Tesla with a caption, "David. photographed an area where the victim.
lived." I will say we have no clue where. this picture was taken with 100%. accuracy. We don't have metadata for the. picture. It could be in Lake Elsenor. It. could be in Kentucky. Some netizens have. taken to Google maps to geollocate the. exact location. And if I had to make a. judgment, a personal opinion, it does. appear that he was in Lake Elsenor. And. if nizens geoloccation spot very well, that picture was allegedly taken really. close about a 6-minute walk from where. Celeste Rivas Hernandez lives. >> What kind of photo is it? Like.
>> it's just him in a parking lot talking. to another kid. >> Someone sneakily took a photo or is it. like a pos photo? No, it's like. someone's I don't think they sneaky, but. there it's not post. >> Oh, someone just snapped a photo like. here's David. >> Probably like a Snapchat photo of like, oh my god, >> look at David. >> David's in our town. >> Right. Okay. >> And Lake Elsenor is a pretty small town. I mean, we lived in LA for almost a. decade. I I I've never really heard of. Lake Elsenor. So, it's not I wouldn't. say it's like a destination everyone. goes. If you're like he was spotted in.
West Hollywood, it's kind of Oh, well, there could be lots of reasons for that. I don't know if that's a coincidence, but people thought that was very. strange. That coupled with Celeste's. mother told TMZ that Celeste had a. boyfriend named David. So Celeste whole. family has been very quiet about this. entire case. I would expect that they. are working hopefully very closely with. law enforcement, but there are other. speculations and rumors of why they've. been so silent online. But Celeste's. mother has spoken to DMZ and she stated.
that Celeste had a boyfriend named David. and that Celeste had been missing for. more than a year. And all of this added. together is definitely not making David. appear like he has no connection. I'm. not saying he's guilty. I I would not be. able to know such a thing, but it. appears he's connected. >> in my opinion. And it feels like by this. point every 3 minutes a new video starts. going viral. This one is um taken in a. classroom. Celeste's alleged former.
teacher is in a class with his students. He's a science teacher. Out of nowhere. and someone's like sneaky recording. this, one of the students. He takes out. his phone, busts it out, and tells his. students that he used to teach Celeste. It's like a little strange. I don't. think he knew one of his students was. recording him, but he's like, "That's. her in my classroom in front of this. poster right here.". >> When I taught her, she met this dude on. social media. He was a rapper in LA. He. came and got her. She ran away from. home. She was gone for like a month. The. cops found her in Hollywood, brought her. back to our school. She came back to our.
school, kind of told people this story. She disappeared again in May of that. year, May of 2024. That's when her. friends told me what happened that it. was this rapper. And then I found out. yesterday that she's now dead in that. rapper's car cut into pieces. You want. to know how they met? I feel like I just. said it. Social media. >> This is legit. a legit video of a. teacher talking. >> Yes, TMZ has reached out to the teacher. who told them that she was frequently.
absent from school. He didn't really. know anything else about her home life, but he was just telling his students. this as a cautionary tale to be careful. of who you talk to on social media, which there's drama with the teacher. Some people say he looks way too excited. to be sharing this story that he knows. Celeste. Some people think it's a. cautionary tale. It's a whole It's a. whole mess. But that's ultimately the. important thing of that. >> But that's crazy. Wow. How do you. explain that? >> Yeah. And while all of this is going. viral, you have almost complete radio. silence from those that are actually. connected to this case, which is.
understandable, but it definitely. doesn't help the growing mountain of. speculations. The only statements. Celeste family have made since the. recording of this video are from her. GoFundMe page, which read, "As many of. you know, Celeste Rivas Hernandez has. been identified as the body found last. week. She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. Her family. is heartbroken and devastated by this. tragic loss. They are seeking help to. lay her body to rest. Any funds you are. able to donate are greatly appreciated. Signed, the Reves Hernandez family.
Their original goal was $20,000 and they. have since surpassed it. There have been. unconfirmed statements by the family, such as, "Another tweet goes viral. An. Instagram account was created in 2020.". So, this is confirmed that this. Instagram account was created in 2020, but we don't know who is behind this. Instagram account. Apparently, David. follows this Instagram account. It's. like a private account. No pictures, barely any followers. It's like a random. account. The allegation being that this.
account belongs to Celeste's brother, Matthew, who's 18. So, this is allegedly. Celeste's brother. Someone DMs Celeste's. alleged brother asking, "Dude, why does. David follow you? All respect to your. sister and I hate how shitty people are. being. Was it really him? Jesus. All. love, man. Celeste alleged brother. alleged real account responds, "Yes, it. was him because he found my account out. of nowhere and he followed me." I guess. the insinuation being that David wanted. to keep tabs on Celeste's family members.
to make sure that he knew what they were. saying about what was going on. considering Celeste has been considered. missing. The DMs continue. Well, he has. it coming. That's wild. just randomly. Did you ever even talk to him? Celeste's. alleged brother responds, "I met him. once in person. Did you and your family. know of your sister being with him? Like, was she living with him? All this. so confusing and disgusting. I knew and. went to the police about it, but lack of. evidence." So, is waved off.
And now that there's like a thousand. people backing you up and it's not going. to happen again. But if they had. listened, basically saying to the. cops, even then they don't do anything. They. haven't done anything towards him. That's how it is with celebrities. Just. look at Diddy. They don't do I know it. sucks. Crazy. People suffer for it. How. long has she been gone? Dead? 2 weeks? Damn, that soon. People have been saying. like a month. The dude's a weirdo. His. songs all have weird messages and.
imagery. What do you think happened? Like he just didn't want her to expose. him being with her? I don't know. Damn. Was your sister in love with him and. choosing to stay? I'm guessing it was. all him just manipulating her. Yeah, she. was always saying that he was waiting. until she was 18 to get married and. stuff like that. Sick. What's crazy is. all these people in his circle who knew. and didn't say. I saw one guy did got. sued by him. Oh yeah. Okay, so this is a. whole thing. I'm sure you would have. been too if you kept pushing dog what? I. never knew that. My sister wouldn't say. anything ever. Dude, there's so much in.
that Discord that he has. What the? What. disc? There's a Discord. The person. allegedly talking to allegedly Celeste. brother sends screenshots of Discord. conversations and Celeste's alleged. brother writes back, "What the? No way, dude. Please send me more if you know, dude. Dude, I never knew this. I wish I. had known. I could have used this. I. don't even have Discord.". >> What What's on the Discord? Is it the. one that you just read or there's more? It's mainly that and then a guy was. talking about how there were allegations.
that David he heard rumors that David. was talking to minors and he had said. something about it and David threatened. to sue him for defamation and David even. talked about it on his discord allegedly. where he wrote like he's about to owe me. 30k for the defamation lawsuit. So those. there are screenshots of that, but we're. going to go more on that later. But one. part of the DMs that make people believe. that this is in fact Celeste's brother. is he does send three pictures of. Celeste. Technically, they could be.
pulled online. Technically, this could. be Celeste's friend from school who. found these pictures. I don't know, but. the pictures look like someone who. probably knew her. But we have no clue. if this is Celeste's brother and if this. conversation is real and if it's even. taken place. So far, the only confirmed. statements that the brother has made as. of filming this is he has apparently. told NBCLA that Celeste's family are. grieving and are aware of the singer. David and that Celeste knew David. He. just gives one statement that says she. was on her way to see a movie with him.
but never returned. >> He also states that David would. frequently pick up Celeste in the very. Tesla that she would be found deceased. in. >> Oh, so the whole family is pointing. finger at David directly. >> Seems like it. Yes. >> By these statements. Wow. >> Yes. And another statement to NBC News. states that Celeste's 18-year-old. brother says the family is struggling. and quote, "I'm just trying to stay. positive. I'm just trying to move. forward. My mom's grieving real bad. My. dad's grieving real bad." Celeste also. has a sister. Now, this is again. unconfirmed, but it has been widely.
accepted that Celeste's sister seems to. have reactivated Celeste's old Instagram. account, renamed it to Justice for. Celeste, posted a few stories. So, the. stories read along the lines of, "Bring. this account back. Please share last. seen in Lake Elsenor. So these are like. the you know and another story where can. we please spread this story. There's a. link to the GoFundMe and another one. that reads we lost our girl but we did. everything. Flyers at her school, Tik. Toks, Instagram, Facebook, police,
family searching everywhere, even our. family in Mexico shared and prayed for. her. And another post reads, "My mom. hasn't spoken in a week. She feels she. failed her daughter, but she didn't. She. did everything. Our house is quiet and. broken." Aside from that, nobody else. has really spoken out. Ruby Alonzo, a. resident of Lake Elsenor, she told the. LA Times that she's known Celeste and. the entire family since maybe Celeste. was in kindergarten. She has a son. around Celeste's age. She tells the LA. Times that after running away, she does. recall Celeste being brought back on one.
occasion by herself. >> How does she know Celeste? Just like. their family. Yeah, they all like they. all live in Lake Elsenor and her son is. around Celeste's age, so they probably. go to the same schools. >> I see. >> And she said that at one point Celeste. came back from running away by herself. And then there was another time where. the police brought her back home. >> Wow. So the police also knows a lot. then. >> And that's why people believe that the. LAPD is being very hush hush. Um, some.
people originally thought that they're. being hush hush because David is a. famous mi musician and they want to. cross their tees and dot their eyes. because of what happened to the likes of. Shan Combmes and pretty much a lot of. musicians, which I think is the case, but I also think that they're taking. their time to probably cover their own. >> problems. >> So, they know this girl probably has a. connection with David already, but they. didn't do enough, for example. >> Yes. And a big topic of the conversation.
is had this 14-year-old girl been white, the whole town would have been flipped. upside down. >> Especially a person of color, a black. man would have been arrested without a. body, without anything really. Just any. vague connection. They might have. arrested him already. So there's that. conversation as well as the fact that I. mean this is in Los Angeles. she she's. Latina and they come from a not so well. socioeconomic background and it's just.
the reoccurring conversation of in LA. the backbone of LA is the Latina Latino. community and yet when something happens. to them the police don't care so there. have been lots of big discourse that I. think the police are trying to make us. shut up basically. >> I see. >> yes and the teacher even said that. Celeste was brought back from Hollywood. if that's the case who knows how much. the police know from Hollywood is a very. very specific statement to make. >> Not just brought back from LA.
>> Yeah. >> It's like it's weird. >> Yeah. >> Ultimately, Ruby, the neighbor, says she. deserves justice. It's just so sad. She. was studious, a hard worker, and. intelligent. Another resident, um, the. Nadaf family, they own Delago Spirits, which is a business that's been in the. area for the past 11 years. He tells the. LA Times that March 19th, so this was in. 2024, almost 2 years ago. No, like a. year and a half ago, Celeste's sister. came in to ask for footage, this is a.
month before she's last seen, and he. pulls CCTV footage where at 7:00 a.m. a. young little girl is seen walking down. the street by herself. He says he. believes that that's Celeste. And he. believes that she got into a car down. the street from the store, but she. walked out of frame, so he can't see the. car. He can't be certain, but he thinks. that this is Celeste. He states the. police have not contacted him for this. video, but he does remember Celeste. She. and her friends would stop by to buy. some snacks here and there. And he says. she was always so quiet, shy, just a. sweet child. I feel a connection to the.
community, and it's just so. heartbreaking to see this. But none of. the statements really answer any. questions. As for David's side, there. was that brief statement that David was. made aware. He's cooperating with the. authorities, but that statement was. before the body has been identified. because after that, he cancels most of. his tour dates and nothing. Radio. silent. All we know is that he has. retained an attorney. Now, I will say. retaining an attorney in a situation.
like this, even if he is innocent, would. not be suspicious. I think that that. would be the smart thing to do. But. people think it's weird that he canceled. his tour dates after the body is. identified. So when the body is found in. his trunk, that seems like the. appropriate time. That's when the shock. is happening. Everyone's like, "Wait, what do you mean?" And even though. people did not think that he was guilty. right off the bat, that seems like the. time that you would cancel the tour. dates. But then the body is identified. and then you cancel the tour dates. It. feels like, oh, then you are connected. to the body that's been found in the.
trunk. >> It's just like a weird timing of it. It. doesn't make any sense. Why would you. cancel it if you are still very. unconnected to the case? You would say, "Oh, wow. Okay, my respects to the. victim's family, but I don't know this. person. My car was stolen. I feel sad.". Like, it would be a very generic PR. statement that would be pushed out like. that. >> Mhm. >> But that's not what happens. Others are. confused by the fact that he did not. report his car stolen. There's actually. a lot of arguments about whether or not. car being reported stolen is a big.
factor in presumed guilt. Some people. think that David is rich now. He's on. tour. He's busy. He's 20. He's not. worried about one of his Teslas going. missing. He's probably not keeping up. with his belongings like that. Others. are saying it's kind of odd that he. never reported it stolen. I bet it's him. or someone close to him. I doubt a. robber or a stranger just took someone's. car, let alone a Tesla that everyone. knows records to leave a body in. It's. weird. The chances are higher it's him. or someone who he knows or works for. him. Another person comments, "That's.
what I think. I think it's someone he. like I don't think he knew. I think it's. someone that works for him. If they had. something on him, he would have been. detained. Netison's grip on the. presumption of innocence is getting. weaker every hour that this progresses. A search warrant is executed inside. David's Hollywood Hills house for. several hours, close to 12 hours. The. yellow tape goes up. Ton of unmarked. police vehicles just parked all around. the street. Neighbors report seeing. about a dozen officers, law enforcement.
officers working in there, combing. through the house. Authorities are seen. walking out with evidence bags, electronics. The police say that the. search warrants several items of. evidence were recovered and will be. analyzed by detectives in the coming. days. This is an ongoing investigation. Investigators are following up on. several leads, which is one of the most. vague statements known to mankind. That. that I think it has to be a skill to. give a statement like that. The house is. not owned by David. Like I said, it's. actually leased by his manager, Josh. Marshall, which would make sense. A lot. of celebrities don't sign their own.
lease agreements, but it is likely that. David was the one living inside. There's. lots of collabs that he filmed inside of. that house with other celebrities. It's. $20,000 a month to rent. And the actual. owner of the house told Rolling Stone, "This all comes as a complete shock to. me. They didn't even know David the. Singer, and they especially didn't know. that a singer lived in that house. They. thought it was a guy named Josh Marshall. cuz that's who signed the lease, right? But they said, "Until then, I had no. idea anything had happened at the house. or what was going on with David and the.
missing girl. I never knew David and I. wasn't aware that he ever even lived in. the house." TMZ reports that LAPD had a. specific division out at the house that. primarily work on finding trace amounts. of blood. It's like the Luminol Squad. They report that they were luminol. testing for blood in his house. everywhere that you would expect, but. also including drains. So, this is a. it's TMZ. They used law enforcement. sources that are not identified, and. again, it's TMZ, so it's hard to say how.
accurate this information is, but I. think this is what causes everyone to. believe that she has been dismembered. There is no concrete proof as of right. now because the wording has been. consistently changed. Some notable. outlets will say that it was just a head. and torso found in the trunk, which then. others are saying, "No, it was her, but. in pieces." So, it's all over the place. But I think that this drain checking for. blood adds to the dismemberment theory. that nizens have.
>> So, they were looking, but they don't. know where disclosed. >> Yes. And technically, as of right now, her manner of death on her medical. report is listed as deferred. So that means to be determined um not a. homicide. That doesn't necessarily mean anything. That doesn't really mean much. And we'll. get into theories of what the cause of. death could be if it's something like. deferred. But the investigators seem to. be operating as if they're investigating. a homicide, even though they. consistently keep saying it's a death.
investigation. The investigation is. being led by the LAPD robbery and. homicide division as a death. investigation. They executed a search. warrant. The LAPD chief states, "We have. a lot of resources dedicated to bringing. to a conclusion, but to go beyond what's. already been made public would be. inappropriate.". As for whether LAPD are looking into. David and Celeste potentially having a. relationship, he says, "Whenever you. investigate a homicide," and this was. crazy cuz I was talking to the RM team. about this yet last night. Literally.
last night, and my husband was like, "Oh, a homicide." So, it is a homicide. investigation. >> Yeah, >> cuz we were just reading through it so. quick, we didn't even catch it. Yeah, cuz because this is the whole thing. Everyone's like saying. >> deferred like you guys were saying not. sure, not sure, not sure, I don't know. But then the guy literally goes. homicide. >> Yeah. I think it was like one of those. things where everyone's like it's. definitely a homicide because in a. trunk, but then um for him to just. straight out say it, it was like the. only confirmation that we've gotten so.
far because so far they've been it's a. death investigation. >> that everything's so close to them. Whenever you investigate a homicide, the. detectives look at all of the associated. issues as well. And in this case, that's. something that they would be looking at. So, it's just very vague. While. authorities have been searching David's. house, the internet has been. collectively searching his very. extensive digital footprint. And it's. bad. I mean, I think I think we've all. seen the viral clips of another. musician, Young Thug, in court just.
jamming out to his song that's playing. in the courtroom because the prosecutors. have admitted it into evidence. They're. using his lyrics as evidence and he's. just like vibing in the courtroom. He's. enjoying himself so much. Later, the. judge recites the lyrics. Hey, this that. slime. >> Hey, YSL Hey, killing 12. Hey, a jail Hey, cooking. white brick. I'm not new to this. Hey,
>> I'm so true to this. Hey, I can put up a. whole slime of a 100 licks. Slimer or. get slimed. It's that slime. Which was. supposed to prove Rico. Also, the. prosecutors admitted his lyrics. Quote, I never killed anybody, but I got. something to do with that body to try. and show that Young Thug was engaged in. criminal gang activity. The whole thing. was a mess, but it was very important. because people are now concerned that. this is going to become more and more. common. Lyrics or social media posts or. memes becoming evidence in the court of. justice. Others are saying it makes.
sense because there is truth to art that. these musicians create. I don't know how. that applies because I feel like lots of. authors, lots of film directors should. be locked up in jail if that's the case. But the whole internet does pretty much. think that David has been confessing to. everything in his music. One of David's. most popular songs is Here with Me. The. music video premiered November 23rd, 2022, and it shows David in a blindfold. washing ashore on a beach. So Blindfold.
is typically associated with Itami, but. at this point, Itami is like not a known. well figure in his music universe. He. washes ashore and all he can think about. is this girl. She has curly hair. Lots. of people say she looks just like the. victim, Celeste. >> There's a person in the music video. >> Yes, but this is someone that's been. hired. So, it's not Celeste. But it it. almost some netizens are saying it looks. like he hired people to play Celeste. >> Huh. >> In this music video.
>> But this is 2022 though, right? >> Yes. And there are speculations that. they've known each other since 2021. >> Oh, wow. and she was. >> 11 years old. She has curly hair, a white flower in. her hair, and it is a montage of them. running on the beach, running through. water. He's singing to her, "Watch the. sunrise along the coast as we're both. getting old. I can't describe what I'm. feeling. All I know is we're going home, so please don't let me go." And then you. have these montages where they're. hugging. They're sitting watching the.
sunset with their backs turned to the. camera. A lot of people say with the. resemblance of the love interest again. it feels like an obsession with Celeste. because why does it look like Celeste? The lyrics are and if it's right I don't. care how long it takes as long as I'm. with you. I've got a smile on my face. Save your tears. It'll be okay. All I. know is you're here with me. Watch the. sunrise as we're getting old. I can't. describe. I wish I could live through. every memory again. Just one more time. before we float off in the wind. Then it. cuts to him in a blindfold falling on.
his knees, realizing that he might have. lost her. He doesn't have her right now. And then at the very end, ominously, it's an older David. Like, I'm talking. middle-aged David. Someone's playing. David sitting on the beach by himself. So that same bench, he now just puts a. white rose where the love interest was. sitting. And then he walks towards the. water himself, and it just cuts to his. clothes being on the sand. I guess the. insinuation being maybe he walked into. the water because then young David is.
now washed ashore and I think the whole. thing is like I got to go find her. It's. like an analization of the love of his. life and growing old wanting to grow. old. So I guess it's the idea of yeah we. could fight all we want cuz there's. montages of them fighting but you know. what at the end of the day as long as. I'm with you I got a smile on my face so. let me go find her again. M. >> seems to be the vibe. Previously, all. the comments on this music video were. about sharing how people went through. their loss with this song. Some people.
were talking about how they got married. to this song. Some people are saying. it's a song that reminds them of their. grandparents or how they just don't have. a lot of time with their loved ones, but. as long as they're together, it's a good. time. It's just like a lot of emotional. comments. Some people are writing, "I. was in the NICU with my son singing this. song.". And now what do you see the comments. now? >> Yeah, people are just they read, "I. don't care how long it takes. Hits a lot. darker when you realize David wrote it.
about waiting for Celeste to be of age. Except he didn't actually wait." Another. comment reads, "As we're both getting. old, bro, she will never grow old. Even. monsters make beautiful music. What a. crazy world we live in. Rest in peace, little girl." Another reads, "A demon. with the voice of an angel has never. felt so real before." It's unclear if. this song is about Celeste. There are. allegations that he might have. potentially known Celeste since 2021. Um. he posts a Tik Tok that makes people. feel that way. We're going to get into.
that, but David says in an interview. that the song Here with Me is actually. inspired by the Disney movie Up. >> He says, "I was watching the movie and I. got really inspired by Carl and Ellie's. kind of relationship and their story and. how Ellie dies and Carl has to go to. Paradise Falls by himself. I got. inspired by that and I was like, "Okay, what if I wrote about their. relationship, but Ellie stayed alive?". >> And I kind of I went to the closet. I. was like thinking about Carl and Lee. I. was like, "All right, bet. I got to. think about a relationship as a really. old dude and a really old uh grandma.
kind of, you know what I'm saying, relationship. >> I I made this really beautiful ballad. called Here With Me and I kept it in the. vault. I was like, "Okay, this is really. good. This is one of my best songs." But. I had anxiety and I didn't want to put. it out immediately. That has been a song. that has been heavily analyzed as well. as a more recent song, March 8th, 2024. This is one month before Celeste is. reported missing. A music video for My. House is not a home goes live. The. lyrics read, "Hello, I'm at your door.
again. I just needed a friend, but now I. share a bed with you. I'm not a little. boy no more. I've made my stupid. choices, too. Tell my mother I'm sorry. Tell my father just the same. Tell my. sister that her brother might have well. gone insane. You didn't want to fall in. love. You're looking out for yourself. now. It's starting to piss me off. I. thought I had you figured out. Never. thought you would call my bluff. Guess. who belongs to someone else now. You get. drunk then start to curse me out. I told. you to watch your mouth. That's exactly.
what my mother would warn me about. I. know you're better off alone, babe. I. could fix you, but I won't. A lot of. netizens are pointing out the line, "I'm. not a little boy anymore." and the fact. that he's apologizing to his parents and. even his little sister. So, he does have. a brother as well, but he apologizes. specifically to his little sister. Considering people are saying with these. allegations, considering he has a little. sister, it's very startling. >> I guess it's always startling if someone. is accused of having inappropriate. relationships with a child and they end. up having a little sister or they end up. having daughters. It's always even more.
of. >> this is very alarming information. The. top comment for that music video now. reads with 4,000 likes. He's not beating. this case. Every song is a confession. Another one reads, "In every video, he's. blaming her. He's mad at her. He feels. like she deserved it. Like she messed it. up for him and ruined him. He's kind of. psychotic. His bloody shirtw wearing. alter ego Itami does make an appearance. in this video as well, lighting the. house on fire." So this is one month. after Valentine's Day, one month before. she's reported missing. And that.
Valentine's Day, he actually posted a. video where he said this is like his. first time having a Valentine's Day. date. So people think it could be. Celeste. >> We don't know who. He never said. anything. >> No. >> David does release a few songs around. that time, like 5 days before. Valentine's Day. Another song is dropped. called Leave Her. Notable lyrics Netzens. have obsessed over include, "You call me. at like 2, I can't sleep. How about you? You want me to come through, I found. peace without you. You want what you. can't have, but it's my fault I bought. it for you. I can't stop falling for.
her. Did what she want me to, but I. still leave her. David says that this. song is actually about one of his. friends relationships that he observed. How there was a very big power. imbalance. The guy loved the girl way. more than she loved him, and that. ultimately led them to break up. The. same day, he drops another song called. 2016. Notable lyrics people have been. commenting on read, "I'm not the same. kid I was in 2016. I was young. I was. dumb. Now I overthink things. I hate. birthdays. They mean nothing to me. I. don't celebrate, so don't buy me. anything. I don't deserve it. I'm.
bleeding out on purpose. I didn't care. what you said when I was a kid, but you. try to ruin my life a thousand times, but now look at you. David does an. interview where he says that this song. is to break out of his relationship. driven music so far. And it's like the. grungy, gritty, growing up punk rock. feeling, which you can hear in the song. But in hindsight, people are saying it's. ironic the fact that he was allegedly. dating a child. For him to be talking. about what it was like being a child and. how you ruined my life when I was a kid. or you tried to a thousand times when I. was a kid, which people find to be rich.
coming from someone who had the deceased. body of a child in his trunk. Additionally, he talks about how. birthdays mean nothing to him. But. netzens have been overanalyzing one. single birthday in this case. There is a. connection and allegation that David. keeps dropping things on Celeste's. birthday. The most frequently talked. about one being the music video for one. of his most famous songs, Suspiciously. titled Romantic Homicide, was dropped. September 7th, 2022. H.
>> to give further context though and. preface, that song was released earlier. in July 2022, but the music video to the. song was released September 7th, 2022. This is where it gets very confusing. People see the upload date, they see. Celeste's birthday on her missing. poster, they think, "Okay, this is a. confession. He killed her. Confessed to. it in the song, that's it." Or some. people are saying he knew he was going. to do it and he confessed in advance. Like life imitates art. But it's really. hard to determine. Firstly, it has not.
been confirmed and signed in ink that. David and Celeste were in a. relationship. But assuming that they. were, it's hard to pinpoint exactly when. they started allegedly dating. Some. people believe 2021. The reason being. that Celeste went missing wearing a pair. of Hello Kitty shoes, Hello Kitty Crocs. They are listed on her missing poster. She has been photographed in these Hello. Kitty Crocs. Overall, she just seems to. have a very strong liking for Hello. Kitty. But David seems to also be. obsessed with Hello Kitty. >> Really? >> His Instagram profile picture is Hello.
Kitty and a big bomb. Just an explosion. in the back of an animated Hello Kitty. >> Huh. in a Tik Tok he's posting he's. standing in a hotel room and it's his. song playing in the back and the caption. on the screen is when your car declines. at therapy and they bring in that one. Hello Kitty girl you met in 2021. People. thought that that was. >> what does that mean? I'm sorry. When. your car gets declined and they bring in. that Hello Kitty girl. What does that. even mean? >> It's supposed to be like a Tik Tok meme.
I think it's supposed to be like I need. to pay for therapy. My card is getting. declined, but they bring in the Hello. Kitty girl and now you're you like. really need therapy. You're like on your. knees. >> is the vibe. But the most important part. is Hello Kitty girl that he meets in. 2021. You see him fall to his knees. before face planting onto the hotel. floor and it's his song I can't stop. falling for her. This is posted February. 7th of 2024. So just like a few months.
before Celeste is reported missing. What's important though is in it he's. wearing a Hello Kitty keychain around. his pants belt buckle. One of Celeste's. friends leaked a photo that Celeste had. allegedly sent her. There's no faces. You just see it's like if you were to. hold your phone pointing to the floor. and then take a picture. So you see. Celeste allegedly Celeste pants and. Hello Kitty Crocs, the same one that. she's been photographed in. And then you. see David in the same outfit, allegedly. David, and she's kind of tugging on the.
Hello Kitty keychain that's attached to. his belt loop. Oh, that's a photo that. you've seen, too. >> Yes. >> And that matches David's Hello Kitty. keychain. >> and the outfit that he's wearing in this. Tik Tok. >> Oh. >> And they match the shoes that Celeste. was seen wearing and had gone missing. yet. >> And that's the photo that was leaked by. a friend. >> Yes. >> And you haven't seen that photo from. anywhere else. So, this is like a. legitimate photo from a source. >> Yes. But to say that it is 100% Celeste.
is hard, >> right? >> But it seems ma a lot of things matches. and it's a unique photo from someone. >> I think I am being overly cautious. If I. were to say my personal opinion, it does. seem like it's a last. >> It does. I mean it just the odds there's. too many coincidences and the chances of. it being. >> it is true like with today's AI it's. hard to really tell what's real and not. So, you know, I don't blame you for. >> Yeah. Now, one Tik Tok David repost are. two people getting married and.
everything is covered in Hello Kitty. It. looks like a a wedding in Japan. And the. words are, "This is me and my future. wife, if you even care." To which the. comments read, "She went missing wearing. Hello Kitty sandals." Dot dot dot. The. way he knew she liked Hello Kitty and. then made it in into his whole persona. is really sick. Then another Tik Tok. from December 2024. This would be 8. months after Celeste is reported missing. and 9 months before she's found dead. It. shows him waving around two Hello Kitty. skateboards. And the words on the screen.
read, "Guess who's building Hello Kitty. boards today instead of dropping an. album." In the caption, it reads, "Hello. Kitty comes first. I don't make the. rules.". >> So netzens are like, "Who is the Hello. Kitty skateboard for?" Then another one. where he is singing to two Hello Kitty. plushies and hugging them. And the words. read, "Me singing to my Hello Kitties. because they're the only ones who don't. rush me to drop music." Caption reads, "When nobody was there for me, Hello. Kitty was there for me." There's another. one where he says, "Got a side job. cleaning sneakers." and he's washing.
sneakers outside and one of them are. Hello Kitty sneakers. >> Wow. >> And they look like the sneakers that. Celeste has been pictured wearing. Even. more, his recent Instagram post from. February 19 of this year, 2025, he does. a Forward magazine cover shoot, and a. lot of the plushies that he's pictured. with, like he's just laying there. surrounded by plushies, are from the. Hello Kitty universe. There's another. one where he posts a picture on. Instagram wearing a Hello Kitty acne. sticker, which I will say I think I have.
the same ones, so I'm not necessarily. one to comment on that, but it's on his. nose and it just reads, "Hello Kitty, good eats, great shows, and new music. heart face emoji." Some netzens find his. Hello Kitty obsession to be creepy with. netzens writing, "Hello Kitty is. literally for the girls and the gays and. the kids. Like, that's it." So, there. has been that. Um, I don't know. Some. people are defending it, saying Hello. Kitty is kind of like an edgy thing guys. will do these days. It's contradicting. to their otherwise relatively masculine. edgy energy. It's supposed to be dorky.
cool. But that's not the problem. The. problem is Celeste went missing wearing. Hello Kitty shoes. So the connection. seems to be too strong. And then back to. the date of the birthday, there is a. Discord message circulating which shows. a deleted user on Discord. So, it just. says deleted user interacting with other. people on David's Discord. And on. September 7th, 2022, someone tells the. deleted user, "Happy birthday.". >> Uh-huh. >> Deleted user responds, "Thanks, babe.".
Now, David was reportedly having. interactions with the deleted user, and. this same deleted user was posting a. picture wearing a ring and a finger. tattoo in red ink that reads David. M. >> So people think that this is Celeste. because she also has another read in. tattoo allegedly according to her family. that reads which matches David's tattoo. So if they've known each other from 2021. like some netizens believe him uploading. his music video of her romantic homicide. on her birthday in 2022 could or could.
not be a coincidence. I don't know. I. don't know. I will say that in this case. specifically, the number of coincidences. that my brain is normally comfortable. with has been surpassed. >> Mhm. >> In any event, the music video for. Romantic Homicide goes up. This would. have been Celeste's 12th birthday and. almost exactly 3 years before she was. found dead in his car. The music video. has been analyzed like it is a piece. inside of a museum. And it's um it is a. weird music video. The video starts with.
David wearing a full suit and a white. blindfold laying on the cold cement. There's just rain falling on him. He's. singing, "I'm scared. It feels like you. don't care. Enlighten me, my dear. Why. am I still here?" He eventually gets up, walks towards the train tracks where a. train is passing by. And you know how in. between the train cars and even the. train windows, you can see someone on. the other side. >> It looks like the ghost of a girl. wearing a wedding dress. Some netizens. believe it looks like Celeste. Some. netizens say it looks nothing like.
Celeste. Others say the vibe is like. Celeste. It's just everyone's fighting. about it. But regardless, people can. kind of agree it does appear. According. to all of his music videos, he seems to. have a type. H. >> he finds the girl and now she's laying. on a bloodied mattress still in the. wedding dress, but she's dead and. there's blood everywhere and white roses. are covered in blood. The lyrics are in. the back of my mind you died and I. didn't even cry. No, not a single tear. And I'm sick of patiently waiting for.
someone that won't even arrive. And. that's like just repeated. In the back. of my mind, you died. And now there are. AI versions out there that now say, in. the back of my car, you died. Which is. inappropriate to say the least, but in. the back of my mind, you died and I. didn't even cry. And at the very end, the lyrics switch to, in the back of my. mind, I killed you and I didn't even. regret it. David drops the suitcase that. he briefcase that he was holding or. suitcase and it's filled with bloodied. knives, bloodied roses, and the lyrics.
that are playing is I can't even believe. I said it, but it's true. I hate you. This has been a big part of the. conversation online to the point where. this song is at least 3 years old. It's. September 23rd of this year. It had its. biggest streaming day of all time on. Spotify. >> Wait, September when? >> 23rd. So after Celeste had been identified. >> Oh. Oh. Just like people started. listening to it more and more and more. and then. >> the song is back on charting to. Billboard 200. I will say if I just.
would not use the song. I mean people. have been posting Tik Toks to talk about. how shocked and sad they are at the news. but they're using his music. >> So it just doesn't seem like a great. choice to be making right now. Um, some. people just genuinely have it stuck in. their head because so many people are. using it on TikTok. I mean, there was. this now viral moment where Kaisenad is. like having his mafia thawn and I think. like someone was accidentally like. singing or like I don't know if they. were scrolling through TikTok,
>> but he starts singing two words of it. and then he's stops himself and he looks. very stressed out. >> Obviously, it was unintentional, but I. think that's just to tell you this song. was very famous. >> Yeah, this is really interesting. big. song. Now, there's one fan of David's. who analyzed the lyrics prior to all of. this happening, and he says, "David. constantly feels like he's the only one. in a relationship. He's constantly. telling his love interest that he feels. unimportant and unappreciated in the. relationship." One of the biggest.
downfalls in a relationship, if not the. biggest downfall. You spend all this. time dealing with people, whether it be. your boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, husband, wife, or close friend, or. someone else, just to be treated like. you don't even exist. It got to the. point where he hated her so much that he. wanted to kill her, which is a bit crazy. if we're going to be real, but also kind. of real if we're going to be honest. This analyzation comes before all of the. recent news. So, it's very interesting. that this is how people have been taking. the song prior to even the host for. Mahogany, a podcast. They interviewed.
David. This was uploaded May 9th, 2025, a few months before Celeste is found. dead. He plays Romantic Homicide, the. music video for David. And David says, "That was a firef fire song. That's. actually crazy. This is the first time I. watched the music video all the way. through in maybe a year and a half. That's nuts." He said the instrumental. for Romantic Homicide just stuck with. him. I sat down and I freestyled the. entirety of Romantic Homicide in one. take. And after I made that song, I. showed it to my mother and she was like, "The song's too violent and too sad.
You're not releasing it. You're not. talking about killing people in your. music. Not not my son." And I was like, "Wait, I might be on to something.". Netzens think that that comment is now. ironic because the whole internet. believes that he killed someone, not. just in music, but in reality. But. regardless, his mom is not approving, but it just makes him want to release it. more. He says, "Whenever my mom hates. something, I know it's cool. It's. usually a sign that I'm supposed to do. it lowkey." So, I waited a couple of. days. I was kind of contemplating cuz if. she ever found the song online and it.
did not blow up, I'm getting my butt. beat the same day. So, I had to make. sure that it was going to do well. David. says, "For the music video, the. blindfolded guy in the suit, aka him in. a blindfold and then sometimes him in a. bloody dress shirt, is not him, it's his. alter ego named Itami." He says, "I had. the idea to make the first music video. introduce a character that I had been. kind of ideulating for a really long. time. That's why you see him with the. blindfold and the bloody shirt aesthetic. and bow tie. I'm really big into anime. I'm really big into manga and I wanted.
to make my own manga series. At one. point, I was writing a lot of poems and. writing a lot of things for it. And a. big part of that manga was an evil. version of me named Itami, which means. pain in Japanese. And he wears this. blindfold. He's basically an agent of. chaos and kind of my alter ego. And the. story of the manga went, I was a. detective and there was an evil version. of myself that would come out at random. times, kind of like Fight Club Tyler. Deran. he would commit the crimes that I.
would have to solve as the detective. So. like when I was as the detective, I'd be. like solving murders that I'm committing. myself. And it was like a cool little. story. I don't think anything I didn't. think anything would come of it. It was. in the vault for months and months and. months. And I introduced it for the. first time on screen. I had the. opportunity with music to kind of. explore this idea further. And the. romantic homicide music video and people. were asking so many questions. I was. like, "Yo, this is kind of fire." Nobody.
would have ever heard of it if it wasn't. for the music video. But at the time, you know, Itami was a staple of this. music video, and you kind of see him. throughout the entire thing. He's. holding the knife with the bloody thing. You got the girl that's basically the. ghost of the person that he killed. It. was his first victim in the manga. And I. put it all on screen. He says he's. basically the evil version of me. And. he's kind of garnered this cult that. follows him. He says. >> Itami has cultami. Okay, so this is so complicated. The way.
that he describes it is the invisible. string theory. All of chaos and evil, you know how one person is connected to. everyone with red strings. Like everyone. you meet in your life, you're connected. to them with a red string. He's saying. everything evil and chaos all is. connected to Itami. >> And so he has all these members of his. cult that just are agents of chaos. M. okay. >> And he says that's like one big element. of his music. Another one is um the. bloody rose aesthetic. He says that was.
birthed in the romantic homicide music. video as well, which is beautiful. The. idea that beautiful things can hurt you. with the stems having thorns on them. That became my entire aesthetic for the. rest of time. I kind of still even to. this day use that bloody rose to kind of. show how beautiful things can hurt you. even through music. You see fans pulling. up to the shows in the bloody shirts and. blindfolds. So, it's becoming a little. movement and I'm glad it's kind of. coming to fruition. As for the alter. ego, David says, "Itami is the one that.
is making me withered and feel these. emotions like grief and pain and. confusion. He's the one that is weaving. his way into my relationships and. ruining them and introducing trauma and. things like that. You see him in the. music videos and stuff. So, he's. basically the agent of chaos." The. genius video where he breaks down the. lyrics of the song has also since gone. viral. In the back of my mind, you died. I didn't even cry. No, not a single. tear. And I'm sick of patiently waiting. for someone that won't even arrive. David explains, "It's kind of like the. storytelling aspect of the lyrics. It.
builds up to this big moment where she. died in the back of my mind. >> I didn't kill her physically, but in the. back of my mind, she died. >> and I didn't even cry." to which people. are now commenting he's way too. defensive that it was not physically but. in the back of his mind. Others are. saying that this is life imitating art. Quote, "It's honestly scary how his. entire career feels like one big. confession." Another person writes, "It's crazy how when you listen to his. songs, you notice bits and pieces that. you actually thought were poetic but. were actually straight up confessions.".
Another person writes, "This. legitimately has to be one of the most. insane hiding in plain sight moments in. music industry history." And one of the. top comments is actually just all caps. reading this was not just in the back of. his mind. Just to disclaim once more, it's not technically a confession. because well, we don't even know if he. did it. But also, the song was written, produced, and released 3 years before. Celeste was found deceased. And music is. not, at least right now, does not have. strong evidentiary value in the court of.
law. At least right now. It's hard to. use the word confession. I think a lot. of people say maybe a premonition, maybe. a bad omen. Those are maybe more. appropriate words. Some people think. that everything is reaching. Others say. that his ominous explanations of his. music videos are not helping to the. creepiness of his music videos. Others. are also saying, "Yes, the art can be. dark, but why does David also have to be. so dark about it?" They point to little. Tekk who has been going viral recently.
for rapping about driving in Ferraris. and Mercedes, but he admits in his. genius interview that he didn't even. know how to drive at that point in his. life. >> So, I hopped in the band. I don't even. drive. I don't even know how to drive. >> So, people are saying that could have. been David, but instead the way that he. explains everything just feels more. eerie. David says, "I've seen people. online take different meanings and. interpretations from that one part of. the song where it's like. >> it's their past selves that's dying and.
they're not even crying about it because. they're evolved. >> They become better people for having. killed their addictions or other. different stuff like that. So, I think. it's very powerful in that way." So, he's saying it's open to interpretation, but there are lots of symbolism in his. music that have people running to every. single thing that he's ever created to. see if there are any more additional. clues, likely due to the fact that. people have very strong ties with him. and his music, and there are no updates. right now. So, people want to see. something. But back to the birthdays.
Exactly 2 years before Celeste body is. found in David's trunk, he reposts a Tik. Tok. The first slide is Mario the game. character crying on the stairs. >> First lie. >> slide. >> Okay. >> And it says on September 8th, bro, why. are you crying? You swipe. The next. slide is three hands holding roses and. rose petals. On their wrists and arms, there's just thorns protruding out. Lost. petals. September 8th. This is 2 years. to the date of when Celeste's body is.
found and one day after her birthday. that year. The songs coming out will be. Notes from a wrist, Hollow Prayers, Rehab, Poetic Vulgarity, and Once More. Again, many netizens feel the two knew. each other by this point. Based off all. of the rumors, the screenshots from. Discord, David allegedly has a. fascination with the month of September. In another Tik Tok that David repost, it's just a slideshow of emotional. quotes, but the very last one reads, "I. thought I wouldn't have the courage to. hope again, but September came around.
with sweetness in its air, and you came. around with tender hands and soft eyes.". So, because of this album dropping near. her birthday, 2 years to the date that. she's found deceased, people are looking. through this whole album trying to see. if there's any clues, any messages in. the songs. And I'm just going to rapid. fire go through them. I'm not stating. that there's anything of evidentiary. value in this, but rather this is the. conversation online. I've just compiled. it for easy viewing. Notes from a wrist. Netzens believe that this song David.
sings more from Celeste perspective. This is psychoanalyzing in hindsight. This is again not me saying that David. thought that, but the lyrics include run. away from home again. Alone with my soul. impaled. Run away from your loving arms. Why am I so afraid? Other notable lyrics. include, "Washing my hands with this. bloody water, I missed the way I thought. it was. You and me against the world, and now the whole world is just against. me." People are saying, "Washing hands. with bloody water." TMZ reported that. they were checking the sink drains for.
blood. They're saying, "You and me. against the world, and now the whole. world is just against me." There's It. just seems like a lot of people are. saying there's so every lyric feels like. it's happening in real time. On the top. comments, it now reads, "He literally. describes everything from the time that. he posted on her birthday. Everything. was right in front of us. I can't. believe it comes down to this. He was. telling her story little by little." In. the music video, you see yet another. love interest who people say is a. beautiful girl with very curly hair.
Some people say it's similar to Celeste. Some people say not every girl with. curly hair is Celeste. It's been another. debate. And you do see Itami bloody. shirt, white blindfold. And the music. video theme is David having flashbacks. to visions of this lost love. And he. spends time in this empty house by. himself just thinking about what could. have been. Then there's hollow prayers. Not as often talked about, but notable. lyrics include, "Lost again, trying to. find myself. Searching through both. heaven and hell. I can't let go. Oh,
it's all my fault. Can you take me and. replace me with someone else? I can't. even walk anymore. and my eyes are sore. from all the tears I cried. Please don't. let me die. Some people believe it. sounds again more like it's from Celeste. perspective. Not that he wrote it in. Celeste perspective, but more so the. conversation is it's weird that. everything feels so intertwined. The song has been described as an. emotional expression of David's needs. for divine intervention and guidance. He. did a whole interview. The song Rehab is.
one of the more now controversial. releases on this EP. The official music. video aired September 8th, 2023. So. again, exactly 2 years. >> Wait, another September. >> Oh, this is all September 8th. Got it. >> But this is the music video. So all the. other ones they cuz they don't drop all. music videos the same day. They'll drop. like the lyric videos, but this music. video has been heavily analyzed because. it was also dropped on her birthday or. the day after her birthday. It's an. anime style music video and it shows. David and his alter ego and you know.
it's a Tommy. It's David wearing a. bloody dress shirt and a white. blindfold. It's got this animated Itami. and animated David. They're fighting. It. looks like they're at odds with each. other. It's giving Jackal and hide. But. in the music video, Atami gets with a. very pretty girl, goes on a date with. her, gets drunk, and then cuts off her. arm and stabs her in the torso, killing. her. While he sings, I'm at the party. with hella regrets. I feel like getting. in trouble again. Kickstart repertoire.
with a shovel again. She fell in love. with the devil again. I got to get her. out of here. I don't feel this way. anymore for the girl that I used to. know. She thinks she's too good for me. now. No room in class for a clown. Broken hearts and bloody sandals. Bodies. stacked on top of another. I've been. hearing gunshots inside my clouded. thoughts. You can't run or hide from me. now. One analysis from years ago reads, "The angry parts of David shine through. as he reflects on a toxic relationship. and seeks escapism through a lifestyle. that is just as self-destructive,
but it's just another girl being. dismembered and/or killed by his alter. ego." to which the comment reads, "It's. sick how he basically became obsessed. and dehumanized her in order to turn her. into what we think looks like a muse and. write an entire act through multiple. songs that would culminate ultimately in. a death." That's just one netizen's. perspective. Another comment reads, "This is sick. Every single song, even. his tour, it's almost as if his whole. career has been built around his. obsession with murdering this poor. girl." The analyzation of these songs.
have netizens believing that David just. had an inherent obsession with Celeste. by this point. Some even accuse him of. having a fantasy of wanting to kill her. The next song is poetic vulgarity which. has been analyzed heavily due to one. specific line in there that reads the. right love but in the wrong time frame. which netizens believe in hindsight. It's almost like him romanticizing an. inappropriate relationship. There's also. a strange menace in his lyrics. The song.
expresses that his love interest didn't. tell him that she's leaving him. So. naturally, he calls her a quote, "He. heartless woman, time-consuming, headacheinducing That's all you. are. That's all you ever were." He does. say, "Sorry for bruising you up with my. words, but you did the same." Others are. pointing out that there's a lyric that. reads, "He heart too small, you had to. push me out." And they comment small as. in like a kid's heart. Others comment, "Imagine calling a 13-year-old a whore.". Or others are pointing out the lyrics.
and biting your flesh. How does it. taste? I still remember the kisses you. gave to a broken boy. Drown out the. noise. People think it's sick that he's. trying to call himself a boy. Also, the. biting of the flesh. How does it taste? There is a Tik Tok repost that has been. making its rounds online. It's a. screenshot. A repost is David did not. post it himself, >> but he saw it on his feed and then he. reposted it. So, it's not like he. created this message, but it's a. screenshot of a text message where one. person writes, "Imagine we were two.
cannibals in the late 80s who randomly. met and then we fell in love and tried. to be better and start a life together. Then you died and I ate your bones and. all.". The other party responds, "Dot, what the. is wrong with you?" The comment on. that one now is David's lawyer is going. to be struggling or she wasn't found. complete, which again has been the. alternating theories right now. And then. another comment, "Yeah, he did it, bro.". Another comment reads, "Help. I stalked. too far. Now I feel like a witness.".
Which you could argue perhaps maybe it. was an accidental repost. But then in another interview, he has. asked, "If you could describe yourself. as pizza, what would you be?". >> Ooh, pineapple. I learned something. I. was wondering like why every time I eat. pineapple my like my cheeks will burn. It's because pineapple has a chemical. that eats away at your flesh while you. eat it. So I distract myself with. pineapple cuz I eat away at your flesh. >> I get it. I think artists are naturally. maybe stranger than the general. population or they try to be. They put.
an effort to be edgy. Maybe that's just. what it takes. But at this point there's. just a lot of weird coincidences. There's just too many connections. Not. saying he's connected to the death, but. there's just. there's a lot. The top comment now. reads, "Bro, this will be evidence in. the courts," which is debatable. But the. next song is, "Once more, this is the. last song on this EP. The melody is. soft, sweet, even retrospective, but.
again, it is all about heartbreak. Lyrics read, I love you, three words I. don't say anymore. Picking my mind up. off the floor. Will I put it back in my. skull? No, not ever. because you said we. were forever. That's some faval. I can't. move on. The top comment now reads, "So, he killed her for trying to move on from. him. She was finally outgrowing him and. he couldn't deal with it." This all. comes out the day after her birthday. Coincidence or not, it's up to you. But. adding more to the birthday. coincidences. David's last Instagram. post is from September 7th, 2025,
one day before her body is found on her. what was supposed to be her 15th. birthday. The post is him promoting his. Wii deluxe album, which was scheduled to. be out September 19th, which is 2 days. after her body is identified. It has. since been pulled. The deluxe album is. not out. The original Withered album is. out, but um he writes in the caption, "Every song written exclusively by me on.
my phone, baby. This is a passion. project I put together to make sure I. didn't lose the raw emotional weight my. music carries and how much it means to. you all. Thank you to all my friends who. collaborated with me on this. Everyone. ate their verses up. Heart, heart, heart." So, are people reading too much. into it or not? I feel like that's. something only time will tell. If David. is found guilty, then everyone will. agree, no, we were not reading too much. into it. We as in collective internet, if he's not arrested, if there is. evidence that comes out that shows that.
he's not connected, which at this point. in time, it seems like it would have to. be the most insane explanation. >> It would have to be like the most even. crazier than what's already happening. M. >> and what's already happening is already. so bizarre. >> that I just I mean I don't know if my. mind can even comprehend what possibly. could be the explanation. But if that. were the case then yes people are going. to think that oh my gosh the internet. overreacts. They were reading way too. much into it. They need to go touch some. grass. So it's just only time will tell.
But to give you some full context in an. interview David says his mom was. confused how he's coming up with all. these lyrics because he's dropping a. song a week at one point. She's asking. him, "You're homeschooled. What do you. know about love? What do you know about. heartbreak?" David says, "I would go on. Discord. I would go on Fortnite. And I. would go to the squad fields. This where. you can just talk to people, and I would. just let people talk to me and just tell. me about their lives. I was just an open. door and an open outlet for my peers and. my friends to just vent to me about. different things in their personal lives.
and stuff like that. And I would. basically just take their lives, write. songs about them, and write songs for. them. And they didn't even know it. It. was just the most beautiful thing. It's. so poetic to be able to. >> kind of take somebody's life and put. that in a song and then have millions of. people resonate with things that aren't. even about me. >> So maybe we are reading too much into. it. Maybe none of this has anything to. do with Celeste. However, Discord. Discord is where everything is coming.
out. Screenshots of the past. conversations with someone who could be. Celeste. There is so much happening on. Discord. And even David has spoken. extensively about Discord. So he talks. about Discord like he's on there every. day. He would tell Zach saying like I. was streaming I'd be like let me get on. Discord. Let me invite a 100 people on. Discord and get on a video call and. let's all listen to my album together. >> Mhm. >> He says sometimes like I guess the most. important part is that my Discord likes. it. >> My Discord is my core fan base. You know.
someone's not vibing with something on. like I sneak it in the Discord and leak. it myself. He says, "That's why I use Discord so. much. That's why I'm on Instagram and. Tik Tok so much, because the people that. are listening to my music are the ones. that are going to stick with me are the. ones that I want to hear feedback from.". Recently, the moderator for David's. Discord posted a message. We, the. Discord and Twitch staff team, want to. clarify what we know. Also, a lot of um. older people have taken this to mean. that Discord and Twitch,
>> the company, >> have made statements. These are like. moderate. These are mods, okay? They're. just like normal people that can. moderate a subreddit or can moderate a. Discord. They're not affiliated with the. actual company. >> This is after everything that's. happened. >> Yes, we, the Discord and Twitch staff. team, want to clarify what we know and. didn't know regarding Celeste. We were. not aware of her true age or that she. was a missing person. We also did not. have any contact with her outside of. what was public. From what was shared in. David's Twitch streams and from her role.
in the server, we understood her to be. around 18 to 19. She appeared in two. streams, but was otherwise not active in. the server and we did not have ongoing. communication with her. Most of us are. not located in California, so we are not. aware of any missing person's reports. connected to her. The mention of her. full name within the server was not seen. in real time due to how fast the chat. moves when David pings everyone. We no. longer associate with David. We do not. support his actions in any capacity. We. are deeply saddened by the situation and.
extend our prayers to Celeste's family. May she rest in peace and may her family. receive justice. This comes after. Discord moderators are seen trying to. purge the server of messages and. pictures. >> What? >> Yeah, there was a whole thing where. they're just purging messages, deleting. But I will say in the United States, Discord does frequently cooperate with. the authorities to turn over relevant. data. It's definitely easier to get. information in the US from Discord. >> Okay. So, you're they said Celeste.
appear in two streams. >> Oh, yeah. We're going to be talking. about that in a second. >> Oh, >> but there's a lot happening on the. Discord along with people alleging that. from 2023 there are screenshots of the. Discord chats and they comment in 2023. that David only adds underage girls. The. users are agreeing on Discord. They say, "I know, right?" or commenting. I'm not. joking either. Some say they're usually. like 15 or 16, too. Another says, "What. the David's a pedto.".
This is from March of 2023. So, this is. a year before Celeste is even reported. missing. There's another message of an. underage girl allegedly talking to. David, and he allegedly texts her, "Hola. Okay, so I've been up all night. thinking logically about you, work, life, relationships, and realize. something that you'd agree with if you. see it the way I do." Who's talking. right now? >> David. Okay. >> Allegedly, straight from my heart, I. really, really, really, really love you, but I have been checking my schedule for.
the rest of this year and next year, and. I'm barely in Texas. I believe. long-distance relationships work under. the right conditions, like you being. able to travel with me, etc., but you're. still in school. With that being said, I. don't like hiding anything from anyone. I would love to have a public. relationship with someone, but the way. this is going, it's just we would have. to be secret or something. I want you to. be happy, but you still have so much. left to do in these last two years of. high school. And it may change your view. on this entirely. And I would gladly. wait for you if we were both in the. right headsp space when that time comes.
I still want to be there for you though. and talk like we did before it got. complicated. Lo, I love and care about. you and need to make sure you're not. alone. We are still interlin. >> Wait, who is this? What is. >> this? Um, another. person coming out saying that these are. text messages that David had sent her. and she is underage. >> This these are text messages. >> Yes. >> And she came out with this and that's. it. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Then another message, please express.
yourself thoroughly. Please no. Okay. Or. KK. I want to know everything going. through your head. Which if this is true. is really bad. Other girls have come out. on Reddit to post post screenshots of. DMs on Instagram that they've received. from David allegedly with one writing, "He followed me in 2023 when I was well. under the age of 18 and these are our. texts." I also remember one of his. friends saying in a group chat that I. was in saying, "All David follows are. teen girls." Something along the lines. of that, so there must be other victims.
The DMs she posts are flirtatious. >> Wait, 2020 when? 2022. >> 2023. >> 2023. So 2 years ago. >> Yes. >> So David was 18. >> Yes. But she's saying she was well under. the age of 18. >> Okay. >> So I mean if the rumors are true, he. might have allegedly started talking to. Celeste when she was 11. >> H. >> So it's not like he just turned 18 and. she is about to turn 18 in 3 months. She. said she's well under the age of 18.
>> Not like 17 turning 18 in a month. >> type of situation. The DMs she posts are. flirtatious. David's responding to her. story saying, "Lmao, I swear you're. shorter than me." And she responds, "Nah, you're mad because I guess you're. real height." No, no, no, you didn't. Let me find out. You're like a And then. she responds, "What you be wearing these. days? It it's giving Lil Uzivert." He. says, "Stop.". And he gets very excited when she tells. him that she's going to see him perform.
and it's a must for her to attend his. concert because he's literally on her. phone case, which people comment the way. he texts. So, I don't know. I do I I'm. inclined to believe because I like to. just believe when people are speaking. out about someone, especially when. they're in a position of power, especially when the people speaking out. are allegedly children. It's vastly different text messages. Obviously, one of them is a much serious. much more serious message. So, it makes. sense that they have different cadences. and different tones, but it's not so.
different where it doesn't seem like the. same person. However, one thing to know. about these DMs that I find very scary, if they're real, is the way he texts is. like an underage girl. >> People believe this is his way of. disarming children. He doesn't text like. a love interest. He doesn't text like. someone maybe older. He texts like an. underage girl, like a fellow girlfriend.
M. >> I don't know how to describe like the. stop. like let me find out it just feels very. girl to girl almost. >> I don't know people were pointing it out. that it's very interesting then there. are just other questionable Discord. chats that are being released. screenshots of what appears to be. David's account on Discord writing in. the chat gore over porn I used to be. addicted to watching gore videos I love. gore but one of the more heavily talked. about messages from Discord is August. 15th 2024,
4 months after Celeste is reported. missing, 14 months before her body is. found, someone on the server writes, "Drop the one, the song with the missing. girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez," which is. apparently a demo that has leaked in. December of 2023. So, this is not a. recent posting of a song. If that were. the case, a lot of people would think. that it's AI generated, but this is 4. months before Celeste is reported. missing. The lyrics read, "So this is.
what it's like to not need weed to get. me high. I love it when you hold me when. you cry. Just because. Be my Valentine. I want to make Cupid suicidal." These. are the kind of thoughts that cross my. mind. Just because. Just because. I love. you so much. I love you so much. Darling, I would love to ease your mind, but you only open up when you get high. If I had the money, I would buy us time. just to get by. Just to stay high. Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed. on her chest. Smell her on my clothes. like cigarettes. I hear her voice each.
time I take a breath. I'm obsessed. Oh, Celeste. Afraid you'll only love me when. I'm undressed. But you look so damn. gorgeous in that dress. Missing you so. much it makes me depressed. But I. digress. I love you so much. Netzens are confused. >> He say Celeste Celeste has a tattoo of. his name. >> on her chest. Speaking of unreleased songs, there is a. video of David. It seems like he's. playing a song for his Discord, which.
this seems to be one of the more. verified unreleased songs. It seems like. it was scrapped from his newest album, but in the beginning, you hear a girl's. voice, almost like a voicemail, and. she's saying, >> "You were one of my best friends." And. um there's a lot of alcohol in my system. right now, so you could just ignore all. of this. I miss you so much. >> Notable lyrics from that song include, "Nobody ever caught me, but I've spoken.
too soon." In the back of a police car, "I forget whatever I knew. I ain't. telling nothing. Do the same if they ask. you about how you make me feel. I get so. high I forget what's real." Baby said. she forgot me. Huh? Do I need to come. remind you? I try to give you all my. sense. I even started drinking less, but. I'm still so messed up in my head. Maybe. I should try to settle for less. Maybe I. should ask my mother for what's best. I. don't even like it when you get. undressed. Even when we're home alone, we don't ever have sex. I'm talking.
about how you make me feel. I get so. high I forget what's real. I'm sorry. This is How you make me feel? I mean, are these just songs or do they. all have a deeper meaning? I guess it. really depends. Even David switches up. his answers. In some interviews, he. said, you know, some artists are very. particular about the way they make. music, and if it didn't happen to them, then it's not a song. >> Music is such a universally understood. language. Like, you could write about. anything and somebody will understand. it. Somebody will connect to it. You. know, the first couple songs I wrote. were even about me, you know? He says in.
an interview in 2023, if I'm watching. someone or even like I'll see somebody. else. I'll see somebody walking down the. street at a parking meter and I will. plan out the rest of his entire life and. I become that guy for a day and I write. a song about him. I try to get every. perspective I can, every possible. perspective, every possible viewpoint. In a TikTok, he straight up writes, "Me. writing love songs without ever. literally experiencing love. Tongue. emoji, silly face emoji, goofy emoji.". But then he also says,
>> cuz I'm writing at this point about. myself and my emotions and my. vulnerability and I wasn't doing that a. lot last, you know, couple projects cuz. I was homeschooled. I didn't have. nothing to talk about like that. And. people were asking me, "How did you. write all these beautiful songs when you. have no relationship?" I was like, "Man, I'm a prophet, bro. I just spoke it into. my own life." Like, you know, it was a. prophetic thing that I was speaking. about heartbreak and love and all these. things I had never experienced before, but then I actually experienced them. I. was like, "Yo, I really said this about. myself 2 years ago.". >> Which is what people also are saying is. kind of creepy. They were going through. his songs and they were saying what's.
happening now. It seems like he was. planning it, fantasizing about it, >> speaking it into existence, >> predicting it. Zach Sang asks him in an. interview, "But is it what you really. expected? Heartbreak, love.". >> It's weird because I have such a weird. view and take on situations like that. cuz I'm always looking for writing. material in these types of things. So. instead of taking it to the to the chin. and being like, "Oh my god, like I'm. heartbroken." Like I go straight to my.
phone or Band Lab, go straight to the. studio and write about it. I never. actually like fully process situations. like that cuz I'm always expecting it to. happen and then after as soon as it. happens, I'm I'm writing about it. >> When you say expecting it, meaning you. get into a friendship, expecting it to. end in a devastating, tragic, sad way so. it can inspire art. Are you almost like. manifesting it to a certain degree? >> Hope I'm not. I really hope I'm not. because it feels that way. I look back. to old songs like Life's a Dream and all.
these songs I wrote in my sister's. closet in 2022 when I'm looking at my. life in the past 8 to 9 months. I'm. like, "Wo, like, bro, these songs are. soundtracking my life." H. >> And when was this interview? >> This one was recent. This year, >> so the 8 to N month is like the pretty. recent. >> Yes. Wow. >> Seems like he's referencing early 2025. and 2024. >> and the songs were. >> were the ones that you were talking. about at the beginning, like.
>> Romantic Homicide, Here with Me, >> all those songs. >> Yes. >> In another interview, he says, >> "I feel like the songs I made in 2022. and right now are being made in. advance." And it's so crazy to be able. to like listen to the EP and have things. connect to me now that didn't connect me. when I made them. Like, I made them in. advance and I made them for my future. self. of like a diary almost. And every. time I listen to my songs, I'm like. rereading this diary and seeing I I I'm. getting advice from my past self. It's. kind of like a a weird experience. >> There's a video of David also performing.
on stage in a bloody dress shirt, I. believe. Um this first this is like an. unreleased song that he is performing. First performed June 29th, 2023. The. lyrics could mean everything. They could. mean nothing, but netzens find it. interesting. It's I don't care about the. law when I'm with you cuz I be breaking. it all the time. I need you to know that. life get crazy. So won't you let me slow. it down? Yes, no, or maybe. I take it as. a yes cuz you're still around. Ain't.
that a felony? Dark hair, brown skin, love that melody. Baby, if you look up. for love, I think they're selling it on. the corner of the street. That's a. felony. >> Wow, that's wild. Then a new screenshot. starts making its rounds from February. 26, 2024, 2 months before Celeste is. reported missing. On a Tik Tok that. David post, a user by the name of Robin. comments, "Waiting for LAPD to get your. ass for messing with a 13-year-old girl. Thumbs up emoji, cat shock emoji, cop.
car emoji.". >> This is like at the time. >> Yes. >> This is on Instagram. >> This is on Tik Tok in his comment. section. This is like two months before. Celeste is reported missing. >> What? So there are people already know. stuff. >> Yes. And that's. >> and where are these people now? They're. not speaking out, right? >> Not publicly. >> What? >> We don't know if they are. I mean, I. think. >> Wow. And people couldn't find who this. person is who commented it. >> There was another person people found, and I'm going to be talking about it. later, but he it he felt like he heard a.
rumor, he repeated it, and then everyone. was explaining to him it's not true. And. then he felt like he was trying to ruin. someone's career. He honestly felt bad. about it. >> What? >> Cuz he was like, "Oh, it was like I was. wrong." Turns out he doesn't believe. he's wrong anymore along with the rest. of the world. But it's just um. >> Wow. Okay. >> I don't think that people had concrete. evidence and the ones that did, I don't. think anyone was willing to listen to. them. >> February 2024, Celeste would have been.
13 years old. So, this is the timeline. is kind of making sense. But the more. damning piece of evidence that has been. circulating is a live stream of David. and who appears to be Celeste. This is. apparently from January 2024, 3 months before she's reported missing. It's a live stream of David and a girl. sitting in a kitchen. The girl looks. young. She's wearing giant oversized. eyeglasses. She has curly hair. She has. a hood covering most of her face. He's. reading the chat out loud. Pray for his.
career chat. He looks at the girl next. to him and asks, "Are we done? Are are. we done?" And she responds, "We need to. delete this." David calmly says, "Mods, can we delete all the VODs and as soon. as the stream ends, delete the stream, too. Can we delete everything?". >> What? >> We need to delete this. >> Are we Ma, can we delete all VODs and. then as soon as the stream ends, delete. the stream, too? >> The girl who looks to be Celeste is. rumored to be Celeste is giggling a. little bit, but it looks more like an. uncomfortable giggle. But someone in the.
comments writes, "Nah, you going on. Epstein list.". >> David is dramatically saying, "Yo, yo, yo, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.". And then the girl tells him to read a. separate comment because it would be. mean if he doesn't answer. It's like a. fan comment. It's a nice comment. And. then another segment of the video, he. puts his hand on the girl's shoulder and. said, >> "I media trained you.". >> No, you didn't. >> That's controversial. >> It's controversial of kids. No, I need a. >> I'm lost. What is happening? So, he's.
live streaming with a a a hooded girl. that nobody he never introduced who this. is. >> It I mean, we only have random snippets. of this live stream. I we haven't been. able to find the full live stream, >> so no context. Nobody knows what's going. on here. >> Yeah, it's just we know there's you're. going on Epstein's list comment. We know. that she says, "Is it controversial of. raping kids?" Because he says that's I. media trained you. That's controversial. No, you didn't. It's controversial of. kids.
>> So, she's basically calling him out. saying, "No, it you are controversial. foring kids.". >> Basically, that's what the internet is. insinuating and gathering from this live. stream. >> She starts covering her mouth and. laughing and both of them decide they're. going to get off the stream. And David. ends with, "Delete everything. Delete. everything." Everything goes. >> Really good. It's been a It's been a. good one. Bye. Bye guys. Oh my. Delete everything. Delete. Delete.
everything. Everything goes. Everything. goes. Everything. >> And the stream ends, which feels like. evidence enough that something bad is. happening. >> Uh-huh. >> And there are other sightings of what. appears to be David and Celeste. together, like one where he's seen with. a girl wearing a gap hoodie. Celeste. missing child poster is her wearing a. gap hoodie. The same Gap hoodie. Then. video snippets of David bringing a girl. to other streamers houses and she. introduced herself as Celeste. >> Hi, how are you? >> Celeste, >> I'll be chilling. Just.
>> she's like shaking Jason Dween's hand. and she's like, I'm Celeste, right? Hold. on, hold on. Okay, there are other. videos of her being pulled in backstage. at a concert wearing pink leggings. So. now people are like, why hasn't why. haven't the authorities arrested him. yet? Well, for one, this makes things. much trickier because now there are two. Celestes. In David's life, there are two girls. named Celeste. One of them was found.
dead in his trunk. The other one is very. much alive and she is not a minor. She's. an adult. She's around the same I think. a year or two older than him. And she. has even changed her Instagram bio to a. different Celeste. >> That's it. a different Celeste. Literally, quote, >> she has not made any public statements. She has not come out to say, "David is. innocent. He doesn't know the other. Celeste. It's me all along. I'm the. Celeste that he's been dating since 2021. or 2022 or whenever." But there are two.
Celeste. >> and they were dating. >> That's what it seems like. Or at least. they're together a lot. There's lots of. theories about these two Celeste and so. every single piece of media, every. single picture, every single video, it's. the comment section are just netizens. fighting of which Celeste it is because. it's so hard to tell. I will say with. this live stream where she says, "Is it. controversial raping kids?" I it feels. like it's the deceased the victim.
Celeste. Um just because when you like I. saw someone analyzing her dimples which. are very specific to her. So, it seemed. like it it might be the younger Celeste. But it doesn't really matter if it's. 14-year-old victim Celeste or the other. Celeste. Some people call her decoy. Celeste. Some people call her the other. Celeste. Some people call her the second. Celeste. Either way, it's just a weird. situation. Even if it's either of them, it's bad. >> It's the fact that what she was she. said, right, is it controversial to.
kids? Like. >> so it's either hey allegedly this is. what people are gathering. >> It's either hey you did this to me is. that controversial or it's hey you did. this to kids is that controversial which. either way. >> it's a very weird live stream that is. very suspicious. So now there are pretty. much confirmed two Celeste who by most. netizen opinion they look similar. And. what's even weirder is that there have.
been and I'm gonna break this down. later. There have been um it's not. confirmed, but I will say general. consensus, general opinion, there's like. okay, some pictures generally people. think it's the victim Celeste. Some. pictures and videos people are kind of. all in agreement that it's the other. Celeste. So there's everyone sorting. these media files of screenshots and. pictures and videos into which Celeste. is it, which one, right? But this is. where it gets confusing. Both of them.
wear the same things and people find. that very weird. For example, the other. Celeste has been allegedly pictured. wearing the same exact Gap hoodie. I. don't know if it's the same one as in. one of one, but it's the same color, same look. >> Wow. Oh, so I can see the the conspiracy. behind that. >> Yes. Okay. Because also another thing, right? The Celeste. There's so it's just. so tricky. The other Celeste is. allegedly the one that David would bring.
to events with him and she would. introduce herself as Celeste because. that's her name. And remember how I. mentioned she would go to live streamers. houses? Jason Deween is a name that has. been popping up. He's like a live. streamer. And he had to clarify later. that the Celeste that he met at the FaZe. Clan house was not the one that was. found in his trunk. >> It was this Celeste who is of age. >> The girl that I met named Celeste at the.
Faze house is not the same Celeste. that was. killed. >> And it seems like this Celeste has. actually met a lot of people. and has. been out publicly with David. And so. even the Discord mods, they were saying, "We were all under the impression that. she was 18 or 19." So now people are. like, "Wait, are they talking about the. other Celeste or are they saying that. they thought younger Celeste was older?". Because the police have confirmed that. the younger Celeste did have multiple.
fake IDs which she would use to get into. establishments that were 18 and up. So, there are anecdotes online that are. saying, "I think that I met the younger. Celeste, but I don't know because we. were in a place where you had to be 18. and up to get in, >> so I assume she was not, but I don't. know.". >> Yeah. Yeah, I see. >> So, it's just very confusing. And they. look similar um from afar. and they it almost seems like they dress.
similarly whether it's on purpose or. not. And it does seem like the other. Celeste is more publicly out and about. with David, whereas the deceased, the. victim, she's it does feel like if they. are connected, he's just hiding her. And. that's why there's this one um there's. this one video of a girl that looks like. Celeste wearing pink leggings and she's. being rushed to backstage of his concert. and she's got a hood over her head. A.
lot of people are in agreement that that. is the victim Celeste because it's she. seems like she's hiding. >> She seems like she's not trying to be. seen. Whereas the other Celeste, she's. at a live streaming house, the FaZe Clan. house, and she's like shaking live. streamers hands being like, "Celeste, I'm Celeste. I'm Celeste.". >> Right? So every this is public online. public information that. >> David is dating Celeste or is close with. this woman named Celeste. And this other. Celeste is literally in every streamer's.
live stream. >> People are seeing her. >> Yes, there are clips of her in streamers. live streams. >> I see. I see. >> And there I mean her her name is also. Celeste. >> which those streams are reaching like I. don't even know like like the whole. world versus at the concert arguably. it's more private because you get like a. few thousand people versus streams you. get like the whole world. And so people. are saying in the Discord chat where. people are saying, "Oh, he has a. girlfriend. Her name is Celeste. She's. very pretty." People don't know who.
that's in reference to. >> But then there are the ones on Discord. that's like, "Drop the song about the. missing girl, Celeste." That drops her. full name and says, "Drop the song about. her." Then it's like, "Okay, wait. So. now now it's getting tricky to discern. which one." On top of that, that comment. that was like, "LAPD is gonna get your. ass for dating a 13-year-old girl." That. see, it seems like. >> the whole world did not know he was. dating. a group of people close to him or had.
business relations or had collaborations. with him, knew him on like a maybe. creator to creator or musician to. musician level, maybe have come across. Celeste that is of age. >> Mhm. And then it seems like a very small. group of people, if true, if they were. dating, knew about Celeste. >> Mhm. >> Who was found deceased. >> Yeah. >> So, it just makes it very tricky. And. there is a question of again, what are.
the odds that he's connected to two. Celeste that look similar, that both. wear gap hoodies, that both like to wear. specific glasses and dress specifically, or is this intentional? Is there any. other not girlfriend or any other woman. or any. >> that looks similar. >> or just anyone else he's allegedly dated. in this period? Is there other. girlfriends or. >> um there is one friend who was spotted.
out with him publicly frequently and she. had to make a statement saying that she. doesn't want to talk. She'll talk when. she is ready and there's just a lot. going on. But people point out that she. also has very curly hair and looks like. Celeste. So it's just like nizens are. confused. >> So there are conspiracies, there are. theories online that he started dating. another girl named Celeste that is of. age that looks like the victim, the. child Celeste, but is an adult. And so. when people say, "Hey, you dated a minor.
named Celeste." He can say, "No, you're. mistaken. She's not a minor. She's an. adult. You can check it out. You can see. her ID. Her name is Celeste and she's an. adult. So those pictures are of my adult. girlfriend that you just assumed was a. minor. Some people think that's what was. happening. That's the speculation. online. And maybe it is working because. the internet cannot seem to agree on. multiple different videos and pictures. of David and Celeste whether or not this.
is the Celeste or the other Celeste. Some netizens are even wondering if. maybe he's innocent because of all of. this. They're saying, "What if it's a. setup? What if he's getting framed? What. if he's only ever dated older Celeste. and all of this has been to publicly. take him down and frame him for murder, which I would say would be an insane. theory of true. Like I I don't even. know. I feel like the odds of getting. stuck in a black hole in outer space. would be higher. But again, nothing is. impossible. Never say never. I don't.
know what happened. I'm not personally. involved, but it's just um it's a crazy. theory. One person sums it up pretty. nicely, which is, "Y'all keep saying. it's two Celeste. The minor one was. found dead in his car." Like, why are. y'all trying to skip over these. important details? The other Celeste. isn't important right now. Because some. people are using the other Celeste to. say, "Oh, he's innocent. He's innocent. He was dating the older Celeste." But it. still does not negate the fact that the. young Celeste, the child, the. 14-year-old girl was found deceased in. his trunk.
>> Mhm. >> But I think that's where I am going to. leave you with this episode for today. I'm going to try and film the rest and. get it up in a day or two. If you're. after you're seeing this, there is so. much information such as the theories. that Celeste was going to leave him, tell someone that he was grooming her, theories that Celeste was pregnant, Discord chat logs where David says that. they're expecting someone, allegedly. expecting a kid, allegedly theories that. Celeste was sacrificed for fame. just a.
lot of theories ranging from wholly. unrealistic to plausible. And all the. songs and lyrics that have been. dissected and analyzed that Netzens have. used to support or deny those theories. because all of his songs have been. analyzed are going to be in the next. video along with Netzens being upset. with Celeste's family and why David. hasn't been arrested yet. All of that's. going to be covered and I'm going to try. to get that up for you ASAP. So with. that being said, stay safe and I will. see you in the next one.
