D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case

Shocking Update in Celeste Rivas Case: LAPD and D4vd’s Team Break Silence! The silence around the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez is starting to break — and what’s coming out isn’t helping D4vd’s case. In this episode, we break down the latest developments in the investigation into how Celeste ended up dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to music artist David Anthony Burke (aka D4vd). First, Josh Marshall, D4vd’s manager, has finally spoken publicly — but not through press or legal channels. Instead, he dropped a series of TikTok comment replies, denying involvement, claiming he never lived at the Hollywood Hills house, and insisting he had no knowledge of Celeste’s presence. His name was on the lease, but he says he worked remotely, lived out of state, and leased the house for “administrative reasons.” Then, we get key updates from LAPD, who now confirm that someone deliberately placed Celeste’s body in the trunk. The case remains open, and while no one has been charged yet, officials say they’re “looking into everything.” A separate police official even used the word “homicide” on-air — though the coroner’s report still lists the cause of death as pending. We also discuss new footage, including CCTV of Celeste running away, and a viral video of D4vd freezing when approached by a fan who resembled her. Add in death certificate details, forensic questions, and the growing suspicion around silence — and this story keeps unraveling. No speculation, no spin — just confirmed developments and what they mean for accountability.

Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession! In one of the most surreal crime stories in recent memory, Lorenz Kraus walked into a CBS6 newsroom and confessed on camera to killing his elderly parents, hiding their bodies in the backyard, and living off their Social Security checks for seven years. Now, on Hidden Killers Live, we watch that full CBS6 interview and break it down — line by line, word by word. Was it a genuine confession? A performance? A delusion? Or all of the above? Police were originally investigating financial crimes tied to the Kraus family at 6 Crestwood Court in Albany, NY, after a red flag from the Social Security Administration. But when a search warrant was executed, investigators unearthed not bank records — but two corpses in the backyard. This segment includes: The moment Kraus confesses to second-degree murder How this case exploded from welfare fraud to Albany double homicide Questions about mental health, delusional beliefs, and a potential god complex What happens when a confession is made to journalists, not police This is the full breakdown of a case that’s part true crime, part psychological thriller, and part bureaucratic failure. Watch with us. 🔖 Hashtags #LorenzKraus #AlbanyDoubleMurder #CBS6Confession #BackyardBurial #TrueCrimeAnalysis #SocialSecurityFraud #GodComplexKiller #HiddenKillersLive #ParentsKilledConfession #FinancialCrimeTurnedHomicide Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Will Anyone Ever Be Charged in the Death of Ellen Greenberg? 20 stab wounds. A knife in her chest. Bruises in various stages of healing. The official ruling? Suicide.   Now, 14 years later, with a new Hulu documentary (Death in Apartment 603) and a court-ordered review underway, the question that refuses to go away is this: Will anyone ever be held accountable for Ellen Greenberg’s death? In this special longform commentary, we cut through the noise and walk through the most disturbing, undeniable facts of this case—the forensic findings, investigative failures, and shifting stories that have led many to believe there’s been a cover-up from the very beginning. Why did the medical examiner reverse a homicide ruling under police pressure? Why was the crime scene released for cleaning before a full forensic sweep? And why does Ellen’s death certificate still say suicide, when even the original pathologist now says it shouldn’t? We also ask the harder question: What’s stopping prosecutors from filing charges, or even opening a formal investigation? From chain-of-custody issues with Ellen’s electronics to conflicting elevator surveillance and 911 call timelines, this case isn’t lacking in evidence—it’s been drowning in it. What it’s lacked is the institutional will to follow it. With the public demanding answers, Ellen’s parents fighting through the courts, and the Hulu series putting the spotlight back where it belongs, we’re at a pivotal moment. Will this be the turning point? Or will the system once again find a way to look away? Justice delayed doesn’t have to be justice denied. But it will be—if no one acts. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #TrueCrime #ColdCase #WrongfulDeath #Unsolved #ForensicFiles #CrimeSceneInvestigation #HuluDocumentary #AccountabilityNow Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Break the Case: Celeste Rivas’ Tragic Fate and the Hunt for Proof A shocking true crime mystery is unfolding in California: the tragic death of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was discovered on September 8, 2024 in the frunk—the small front trunk—of a Tesla. In this gripping episode of “Break the Case” with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, the panel digs deep into the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the frustratingly slow pace of justice. Coffindaffer is joined by Dan from the Drunk Turkey Show, a former Texas law-enforcement officer, and veteran attorney Philip Dubey, who has worked on both sides of the courtroom in Los Angeles. Together, they examine why, despite disturbing circumstantial evidence linking a man named D4vd to Celeste, no charges have yet been filed. The conversation begins with the heartbreaking backstory of Celeste—a bright but troubled teen who reportedly ran away several times earlier in the year. Questions swirl around her relationship with D4vd, a much older man whose song lyrics, artwork, and even an AI-styled image depicting a body dragged to a trunk have raised eyebrows. The panel dissects how these artistic expressions could serve as circumstantial evidence and what investigators still need to prove in court. Coffindaffer even conducted her own home reenactment to demonstrate just how small the Tesla frunk is and how difficult it would be for one person to maneuver a body inside—suggesting the possibility of additional parties being involved. Attorney Dubey offers an insider’s view on the legal hurdles prosecutors face, including California’s corpus delicti rule, and why forensic evidence—such as signs of pregnancy or DNA—may be the key to unlocking charges that could hold up at trial. This episode blends true-crime reporting with on-scene demonstrations and expert legal insight, painting a chilling yet informative picture of a case that has gripped the public. Viewers will come away with a deeper understanding of why some investigations take time, the power of circumstantial evidence, and the many hurdles between suspicion and conviction in high-profile homicide cases. #CelesteRivas #TeslaFrunk #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeNews #MissingTeenCase #RomanticHomicide #CaliforniaCrime #BreakTheCase #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrimeCommunity #D4vd Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely. What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false.We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth. In this part you’ll learn: Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive How contamination and leading questions distort memory What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation After you hear the mistakes, you’ll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can’t treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again. #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #YogurtShopCase #InterrogationTactics #TunnelVision #CriminalJusticeReform #AustinMurders #InvestigativeFailures #CriminalPsychology #InnocenceProject #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years This is the turning point. After 34 years of dead ends, the infamous Yogurt Shop murders in Austin have finally been cracked—not by a tip, not by a confession, but by modern genetic genealogy and DNA testing. In this first segment, I walk you through how investigators resurrected crime scene evidence, plugged it into public DNA databases, built family trees, and landed on Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer. It wasn’t easy. The crime scene was ravaged by fire. Early DNA testing had limits. The wrong suspects had been tried. But in 2025, cold‑case teams used new techniques to extract male DNA profiles, cross‑referenced distant relatives, and zeroed in on Brashers. A former detective has even claimed a bullet casing found in a drain matched the firearm Brashers used in his suicide. (That’s not official yet — but it’s a powerful piece of the puzzle.) Why this matters: naming the suspect doesn’t end the story. It shifts the burden to accountability, record integrity, and transparency. This first part shows how science finally caught up to a case that law enforcement once believed might never be solved. If you thought cold cases were frozen in time—this rewrites that myth. Tune in to see exactly how the match was made—how one small genetic lead led to the unthinkable: identifying a killer who died 26 years ago. After you see the method, you’ll understand the stakes of what comes next. #YogurtShopMurders #AustinColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #DNAForensics #RobertBrashers #TrueCrimeBreakthrough #ColdCaseSolved #InvestigativeScience #CrimeDocumentary #SerialKiller  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Laken Snelling & The Narcissism Epidemic: When Image Outranks Empathy Quick legal note up top: Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty. A preliminary autopsy was inconclusive with further testing pending. There is no homicide charge at this time. She waived her preliminary hearing, and the case is now with a grand jury. Those facts stand while we talk about culture. Tonight’s episode isn’t a debate over statutes—it’s a post-mortem on the air a lot of young women are breathing. The filings outline a sequence after birth—wrap, place, clean—and investigators say they found deleted photos reportedly taken during labor along with searches about a concealed pregnancy. There’s also a statement to medical staff about seeing movement and hearing a “whimper”—not a medical finding, but a detail in the documents that changed the temperature of the room the moment people read it. What ties those beats together isn’t politics; it’s image management. We dig into how a narcissism epidemic—not clinical labels, but learned habits—trains an image-first reflex: protect the brand, keep the feed clean, make the optics unbreakable, even when reality is doing the opposite. We’re not shaming grooming; we’re interrogating curation as morality. Why does “looking composed” in court hit like a symbol in a case where concealment is central to the filings? What does it mean when the best-practiced skill in a crisis is deletion, not disclosure? We walk through the verified spine (birth → concealment → court) and explain, in plain English, how algorithmic reward systems push visibility without vulnerability—and how that can harden into callousness when the stakes are human. No speculation, no graphic detail, and no shortcuts around the legal guardrails. If new lab results or grand jury actions change the record, we’ll update. But the cultural takeaway is already here: if you train kids to value the avatar over the actual, don’t be surprised when the avatar wins. The fix isn’t a slogan; it’s formation. Train empathy like a skill. Choose the human, not the brand.
