FBI or LAPD? Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down Who’s Really Investigating Celeste’s Death
In this gripping episode of Break the Case, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer tackles one of the most haunting and confusing cases of the year—the death of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to musician David “D4VD” Burke. With social media ablaze over the lack of arrests or official updates, Coffindaffer steps in to separate fact from speculation and offer a law enforcement insider’s perspective on what’s really happening behind the scenes. She begins by dismantling a viral rumor: the claim that the FBI is leading the investigation. Drawing from decades of experience, Coffindaffer explains why the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)—with its elite forensics division—is more than capable of handling the case independently. While the FBI may assist in rare, highly specific circumstances, this is not one of them. The LAPD’s digital forensic experts, many of whom are trained at the Bureau’s own Quantico facility, possess the tools and experience needed to process devices, extract data, and build a case without outside help. The conversation then turns to the most disturbing details: Celeste’s history of running away, her complicated relationship with D4VD, and the grim logistics of how her body could fit into the Tesla’s compact front trunk. Despite her being labeled a runaway in the past, videos and sightings show that she was often “missing in plain sight”—appearing in public alongside D4VD. With no declared cause of death, investigators face an enormous challenge: how to prove homicide without knowing exactly how Celeste died. Coffindaffer’s analysis underscores a chilling truth—behind the silence lies a case that may take months to unravel, with forensic science holding the only key to justice for Celeste Rivas. #CelesteRivas #D4VD #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #TeslaCase #LAPD #HiddenKillers #BreakTheCase #CrimeNews #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Charlie Kirk Assassin or Scapegoat? Breaking Down the Tyler Robinson Conspiracies
Was Charlie Kirk’s assassination part of a larger conspiracy? Or is the truth far more grounded—and far more chilling? In this episode, we cut through the noise to examine what’s real and what’s recklessly imagined in the case of Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing political commentator Charlie Kirk during a Utah Valley University event. While conspiracy theories continue to flood the internet—claims of planted evidence, faked texts, missing body cam footage, and even “false flag” accusations—what does the actual evidence say? The rifle wasn’t just found near the scene—it had Robinson’s DNA on the trigger and on the towel used to conceal it. A note expressing intent to “take out Charlie Kirk” was confirmed by the FBI, even after it was destroyed by the suspect’s father. And the now-infamous texts and Discord messages? They weren’t internet rumors. They’re cited directly in court filings and verified by digital platforms. We also break down the moments that do raise real questions: the body cam gap during Robinson’s alleged return to the scene, the FBI’s premature “we got him” tweet, and how the defense may use timeline precision and digital chain of custody to challenge the case—not to prove a conspiracy, but to create reasonable doubt. With a defense team stacked with high-profile capital trial attorneys and a prosecution pushing for the death penalty, this case isn’t just about guilt or innocence—it’s about the weaponization of narrative in a hyper-polarized America. No speculation. No theory-spinning. Just facts, hard analysis, and the uncomfortable truth that the more viral a conspiracy gets, the easier it is to bury what really happened. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #TrueCrimeDebunked #PoliticalAssassination #ConspiracyTheories #DigitalEvidence #FBI #DeathPenaltyCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ret FBI Chief On What We Still Don’t Know About the Charlie Kirk Murder—And Why That’s a Problem
When a public figure is killed, truth doesn’t always win the race. In the days after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the internet spun into overdrive—producing a blizzard of theories that ranged from suspicious to outlandish: a government setup, faked notes, AI-generated evidence, and even accusations that the shooting never happened at all. But somewhere in the middle of that chaos sits the public—grieving, confused, skeptical, and hungry for answers. In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski is joined by behavioral analyst and former FBI agent Robin Dreeke to discuss what really happens in the aftermath of a high-profile killing. Not just in court—but in the minds of millions of people watching from the outside. Together, they explore: Why we invent stories before the facts arrive How algorithm-fueled media encourages certainty over truth Which conspiracy claims are provably false—and which remain unconfirmed How healthy skepticism can turn toxic What the Kirk case teaches us about how truth struggles to survive in a fractured public square This isn’t about taking the government’s word. It’s about asking better questions—and knowing when the answers don’t hold up. 🔔 Subscribe for intelligent, unsensationalized coverage of the most disturbing crimes in America. #CharlieKirk #MurderConspiracy #RobinDreeke #PsychologyOfConspiracy #HiddenKillersPodcast #Misinformation #AIandCrime #FalseFlags #CriticalThinking #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is d4vd Being Framed? Inside the Celeste Rivas Case and the Swatting Twist
A teenage girl. A viral pop star. A Tesla. A fake 911 call. Is this a murder case—or is it something even more calculated? In this full-length Hidden Killers investigation, we go deep into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. The vehicle sat for weeks on a public street before being impounded. The odor led to the discovery of human remains. Since then, the internet has exploded with speculation, assumptions, and unconfirmed theories—but the LAPD has not made an arrest, and cause and manner of death remain undetermined. So what do we really know? This episode strips away the noise and asks a much sharper question: Is David Burke—better known as d4vd—being framed? We walk you through the timeline, confirmed reporting, and the forensic science behind the case, including a chilling new detail: a voice-changed 911 call sent armed police to the Texas home of d4vd’s parents, just days after the body was found. Was it a prank, or part of a wider effort to harass or implicate him? We speak about the possibilities—from digital footprints to forensic tripwires in the Tesla itself—and how investigators will use science, data, and chain of custody to separate narrative from truth. This is not about defending or accusing—it’s about what the facts actually show, and where those facts haven’t yet caught up to the headlines. If you’re here for real true crime storytelling—fact-first, emotionally grounded, never sensationalized—you’re in the right place. 📍 Featuring verified reporting from ABC, TMZ, The Guardian, LAPD statements, and expert analysis from forensic audio specialists. 📍 Trigger warning: This episode discusses the death of a minor and false emergency reporting (swatting). All content is YouTube-safe and free of graphic language. This is Hidden Killers. And this is the story behind the story. #d4vd #CelesteRivas #TrueCrime #Swatting #VoiceChanger911 #TeslaCrimeScene #HiddenKillers #CrimeInvestigation #FramedOrGuilty #ForensicBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
