D4VD Used Postmates To Order WHAT After Celeste Was Killed?!

The first day of David Anthony Burke's preliminary hearing put evidence that had been under seal into a public courtroom for the first time. LAPD Detective Joshua Byers testified about a sequence of purchases prosecutors allege Burke made under fake names in the weeks and months after the alleged death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Every item was allegedly paid for with his own financial accounts and shipped to his own address.

Prosecutors presented body camera footage from a February 2024 encounter where a sheriff's deputy informed Burke that Celeste — whose family had filed a missing persons report — was thirteen years old. According to the footage, Burke claimed he had met her once and that she said she was eighteen. Prosecutors say the relationship was already well established by that date.

Burke's former financial director took the stand and put numbers to the career prosecutors allege Burke was protecting: more than ten million dollars in gross income between 2023 and 2025. The same witness described a pivot to encrypted communications within Burke's team after the body was discovered, discussions about transferring property titles, and a retainer arrangement with Burke's mother that continues to this day.

The defense challenged how key evidence was preserved and processed, securing testimony that three chainsaws recovered from the home tested negative for blood and that the cadaver bag was not fully retained. The hearing resumes with additional prosecution witnesses expected.
