Christopher Wolfenbarger Found Not Guilty of Dismembering Wife | Crime Alert 6AM 08.25.25

Mladen Trifunovic, the owner of the home Burke was renting for $20,000 a month has hired private investigator, Steve Fischer, to try and find out what was happening in the home he owns. Fischer was hired shortly after a forced-search entry search warrant was served at the home. Nobody was home when police served a search warrant, and no paperwork was left behind to indicate what was being sought, or what was taken. Fischer is helping provide additional information for law enforcement and make sure nothing is missed in the search for what happened to Celeste.  The LAPD says Celeste had been deceased for weeks before being discovered in Burke's Tesla.  Private investigator Steve Fischer says he has seen surveillance video from neighbor homes and knows exactly when the Tesla was last moved and who moved it to the location from where it was towed, in very late July, but cannot reveal that yet.    The Tesla owned by Burke had been his daily driver for a long time, regularly getting the car cleaned inside and out. However, when the Tesla was towed, it was dirty with body damage. PI Fischer says it looks like the car had been "off-road" in the desert with wheel wells beat up and a huge dent in the back.  While his former daily drive sits dirty by the curb for weeks, Burke keeps a clean, red Tesla in the garage.  Surveillance cameras in the Hollywood hills build a complete timeline showing when Burke's Tesla was parked on Bluebird Avenue, who parked it, and whether anything was placed in the vehicle after it was parked. There is also no evidence indicating Celeste's body was transferred into the Tesla AFTER it was parked on the street.  Joining Nancy Grace today Randy Kessler - Atlanta Trial Lawyer, Emory Law School Professor, Past Chair ABA Family Law Section, Author: "Divorce, Protect Yourself, Your Kids and Your Future", www.KSFamilyLaw.com, Instagram: @rkessler23, Twitter: @GADivorce Dr. John Delatorre - Licensed psychologist and mediator, specializing in forensic psychology, psychological consultant to Project Absents: a non-profit organization that searches for missing persons, resolutionfcs.com, Twitter, IG, and TikTok: @drjohndelatorre Steve Fischer - Missing Persons Private Investigator, Search & Rescue Specialist, & Owner of Search Investigations, He has been hired by the owner of the Hollywood Hills property where D4vd had been staying to look into this case, website: search investigations.org, Facebook: SearchInvestigations, X: @SF_Investigates Rob Shuter - Host: Naughty But Nice Podcast, Author of upcoming novel “It Started With A Whisper”, he can be found at robshuter.substack.com, Former publicist of Sean Combs, IG: @naughtygossip Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of NEW Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue”, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University) Katy Forrester - Assistant Exclusives Editor at The U.S. Sun, covering true crime and showbiz, website: www.the-sun.com, X: @katyshowbix Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kada Scott's remains have been found in a wooded area behind an abandoned school in East Germantown. Kada, 23, was last seen shortly after arriving for a shift at an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill. Police began searching the area on Saturday, Oct. 18, near the vacant Ada H. Lewis Middle School for Scott after receiving a "very specific" anonymous tip at around 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17, authorities said. Police previously searched the area of the school and arboretum in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia but reported only finding some physical evidence, without commenting on what evidence was uncovered. Community members voice anger and frustration at police while gathering behind the crime scene tape during the search on Saturday, saying they could have found the body sooner. Investigators discover a person of interest. As the investigation continued, police determined 23-year-old Keon King of Dover, Delaware, is now a suspect. Keon King had a criminal record prior to his alleged involvement in Scott’s kidnapping. Investigators say King kidnapped and assaulted another victim earlier in the year.

Taylor Meyer plans a Valentine's Day dinner for his wife, Deborah, with the theme "Bring Paris to You." Pulling out all the stops, he has their children draw pictures of the Eiffel Tower to decorate the table, buys Deborah a beautiful new dress, and orders food from their favorite Japanese steakhouse. After a lovely dinner, he gives his wife a Valentine's Day card with a personal message, and they dance to their wedding song. When the song ends, Deborah does not react as Taylor hopes, and they begin to argue. She leaves the house for about 20 minutes. When she returns, Taylor accuses her of cheating with a coworker and claims she visited her boyfriend, who had just gotten off work. He demands to see the messages on her watch and check her phone. When she refuses, a physical fight breaks out. Taylor pins her to the ground, sits on her back, and chokes her while grabbing the phone. He finds a number saved as "My Best Friend Emily" and calls it. A man answers. Taylor tells him, "It's your... fault." Deborah continues to struggle and challenges her husband, asking, "What are you going to do, kill me? You're going to hurt me and leave our kids with no parents?" She hits Taylor in the head with a water bottle. He responds by striking her in the head with a wine bottle. Deborah screams for help, calling for her children and the police.
