Celeste Was Eleven When D4vd Allegedly Made First Contact

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was eleven years old. She reportedly loved Hello Kitty. She had braces. And prosecutors allege that is when David Anthony Burke — a rising singer building a career under the name D4vd — first entered her life.

By thirteen, prosecutors allege the contact became sexual. By fourteen, she was reportedly living in his Hollywood Hills home, traveling with him, embedded so deeply in his world that when she allegedly threatened to expose everything, prosecutors say Burke made a calculation that cost Celeste her life. When law enforcement had already contacted him — already told him she was a minor and missing — prosecutors allege he paid a thousand dollars to get a phone to her through a classmate so they could keep communicating. After she allegedly died, prosecutors describe weeks of reported purchases under a fake name: chainsaws, a body bag, an inflatable pool. Forensic evidence allegedly connects those materials to injuries on Celeste's remains.

A psychotherapist breaks down what the alleged behavior prosecutors describe reveals about the psychology reportedly at work — from alleged first contact with a child to the reported cover-up that prosecutors allege lasted months while Celeste's body remained in Burke's Tesla. Burke has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys say he is innocent and did not cause her death.
