D4VD’s Tesla, a Body, and No Arrests: FBI Veteran Unpacks the Investigation
D4VD’s Tesla, a Body, and No Arrests: FBI Veteran Unpacks the Investigation Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing in April 2024. But five months later, a home surveillance camera caught her outside her house — alive. Then, a year later to the day, her decomposed body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music artist d4vd. No arrests. No suspect. And the LAPD says it’s still “unclear whether there’s any criminal culpability beyond concealment.” So how does this look through federal eyes? In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to walk us through the investigation — step by step — the way it would be handled by a federal team. She breaks down the real priorities when a child is found dead in a vehicle. What evidence disappears first. What should’ve been locked down within hours. And what law enforcement could still be missing entirely. We dig into: The administrative timeline of the Tesla — marked, ticketed, towed, then searched How the gap between April 2024 and Sept 2025 should’ve been reconstructed Why chain of custody around viral evidence like the Tesla keycard could tank a case How the FBI uses vehicle telemetry, phone records, and location data to build a profile — even when no cause of death is determined And what Jennifer would do right now if this case landed back on her desk If you’ve been asking, Where are the charges? — this is the conversation that finally explains why we might not have them yet. And what it’s going to take to make sure this case doesn’t go cold. 🔖 HASHTAGS #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #d4vd #TeslaFrunk #FBIInvestigation #JenniferCoffindaffer #MissingChildren #JusticeForCeleste #HiddenKillers #CrimeSceneAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe Trial: Why Even a ‘Dirty Cop’ Can’t Save You From Your Own Google Searches
Brian Walshe Trial: Why Even a ‘Dirty Cop’ Can’t Save You From Your Own Google Searches As the October 20th trial date approaches, the case against Brian Walshe—the Massachusetts father accused of murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe—has become one of the most closely watched legal battles in the state. And it’s not just the shocking allegations at stake. The defense is trying to pull the shadow of another high‑profile case—the Karen Read investigation—straight into this courtroom. In this episode, we break down how Walshe’s attorneys are arguing that Norfolk County is too tainted for a fair trial. They’re pointing to the now‑famous misconduct of former State Trooper Michael Proctor, who was removed from the Read case after crude, biased texts surfaced. Their message to the court: if the system was “dirty” there, it can’t be trusted here. But prosecutors say the Walshe case stands on its own—and the evidence they’re about to put in front of a jury may prove it. We examine the digital footprint investigators say Brian Walshe left in the hours and days after Ana disappeared: chilling Google searches about body disposal, decomposition, and whether you can be charged without a body. We look at the physical evidence pulled from a Swampscott dumpster—items prosecutors say carry Ana’s DNA, including a rug, jewelry, and a watch photographed on her wrist just hours before she vanished. This is where modern crime meets modern accountability: when your own clicks, purchases, and discarded objects become the star witnesses against you. In this episode, we unpack why the defense’s “crooked cop” strategy may falter in the face of independent, forensic evidence—and what this case tells us about how juries weigh misconduct claims against hard data. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #KarenRead #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #DigitalForensics #LegalStrategy #CrimeAndJustice #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Hasn't D4vd Been Charged? FBI Agent & Prosecutor Unpack Celeste's Case Tesla, Timeline, and a Celebrity’s Silence — FBI & Legal Experts on D4vd Case
Why Hasn't D4vd Been Charged? FBI Agent & Prosecutor Unpack Celeste's Case Tesla, Timeline, and a Celebrity’s Silence — FBI & Legal Experts on D4vd Case How does a 13-year-old vanish, reappear on camera months later, and still end up dead in the trunk of a Tesla? And how does that car — tied to a rising music star — sit for days on a street, then in a tow yard, before anyone makes the discovery? In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the unanswered questions in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez / d4vd case. Coffindaffer brings the federal playbook to the table: how agents work fractured timelines, what evidence degrades the fastest in cases like this, and whether the Tesla’s digital logs could be the silent witness that cracks the case. She also explains why the lack of charges doesn’t necessarily mean investigators have nothing — it may mean they’re chasing something bigger. Then Faddis steps in to unpack the legal side. What does it mean when LAPD says it’s “unclear if there’s criminal culpability beyond concealment”? Could a prosecutor really stop at improper disposal of a body, even with a celebrity connection? And is the silence from d4vd’s camp a smart legal strategy — or a growing liability? Finally, the conversation pivots to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, facing a sentencing battle that could swing from just over a year to more than a decade in federal prison. Faddis explains the tug-of-war between prosecution and defense — and what it says about how celebrity defendants are treated when their past finally collides with federal law. Two cases. Two headlines. One theme: when the system bends under the weight of fame, does justice break?

“Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg
“Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg What happens when the system doesn’t just fail you — it rewrites the story entirely? In this emotionally raw and deeply insightful episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to discuss the most disturbing layer of the Ellen Greenberg case: the aftermath. After Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 to the back of her neck — the medical examiner originally ruled her death a homicide. But that ruling was quietly reversed after a meeting with police. No new evidence. No second autopsy. Just a narrative pivot that reshaped everything. And because it was ruled a suicide, the apartment wasn’t preserved. It was cleaned. Her devices were removed by her fiancé’s uncle. Chain of custody was destroyed. Crime scene photos were incomplete. And the investigation? Essentially shut down. In this segment, we explore the psychological impact of institutional betrayal — not just on Ellen’s family, but on every family forced to accept a story that doesn’t make sense. We also dig into: Why families are often shamed into silence when they challenge suicide rulings What it means when someone close to the victim — like a fiancé — shows no visible grief or curiosity How mental health labels like “anxious” are weaponized to close cases And whether emotional closure is still possible when legal justice never comes Ellen Greenberg’s case isn’t just a forensic failure — it’s a psychological one. And if this is what happens when families ask questions, what does that say about how we treat grief, truth, and the dead? Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #DeathInApartment603 #InstitutionalFailure #CrimeSceneCoverup #JusticeForEllen #MentalHealth #GriefPsychology #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
