  • Celeste Rivas & D4VD: A Teen Found in a Car Trunk — Still No Answers

    Celeste Rivas & D4VD: A Teen Found in a Car Trunk — Still No Answers
    Nov 18 2025
    It’s one of the most unsettling cases in recent memory: fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist D4vd, sealed inside a plastic bag, severely decomposed — and yet months later, the official cause and manner of death remain “undetermined.”

    That one word has frozen the investigation in place. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. No clarity. Just a growing list of questions.

    Tonight on Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the enormous gap between what the public sees and what investigators can legally prove. And that gap is where this entire case is currently stuck.

    The LAPD’s latest statement doubled down on one thing: the only confirmed criminal act so far is “concealment of a body.” Nothing more. Not yet. But when you place a teen inside the sealed front trunk of a car, in a state of decomposition so advanced that specialists — from entomologists to forensic anthropologists — are required just to interpret what’s left, the public is right to ask whether something more happened here.

    We explore the science, the timeline, the forensics, and the troubling silence from everyone involved. We unpack why the medical examiner is taking months, why “undetermined” doesn’t mean “no crime,” and why the search warrant executed at D4vd’s former residence was not random — it required probable cause.

    This case sits at the intersection of decomposition, legal thresholds, and a tightly controlled circle of silence. And until science gives investigators something concrete, the system remains at a standstill.

    Comment below with your thoughts: is this caution, bureaucracy… or something else entirely?

  • Melodee Buzzard. Celeste Rivas. Two Cases Nobody Can Explain

    Melodee Buzzard. Celeste Rivas. Two Cases Nobody Can Explain
    Nov 18 2025
    Some cases hit you in the gut, not because the details are complex, but because they’re painfully simple — and still, nothing happens. That’s the reality tonight as we look at the stories of Melodee Buzzard and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, two young girls caught in two different investigations that somehow keep producing the same baffling outcome: no real movement.

    Nine-year-old Melodee is missing. Her mother, Ashlee — the last adult with her — spent days traveling across state lines in disguises, swapping licenses, behaving erratically, and allegedly holding a man in her home while threatening him with a blade. Every red flag possible is waving, yet she’s free on an ankle monitor. No cooperation. No answers. No urgency from the bench.

    Fourteen-year-old Celeste was found in the frunk of a Tesla registered to musician D4vd — sealed inside a plastic bag, far into decomposition — and months later the medical examiner still can’t confirm cause or manner of death. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. Nothing but a misdemeanor for body concealment. And the silence around the investigation is deafening.

    Two different cities. Two different sets of facts. But the same disturbing theme: a system that acts confused at the exact moment when clarity is most needed.

    Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down why these cases are stalling, why their outcomes remain so unclear, and why families and the public feel like they’re shouting into a void while the clock keeps ticking.

    If you’re watching these cases and wondering how either situation makes sense — you’re not alone. Let’s dig in.

  • LAPD Says No Homicide in D4vd Tesla Death Case? What’s Really Going On?

    LAPD Says No Homicide in D4vd Tesla Death Case? What’s Really Going On?
    Nov 13 2025
    The Los Angeles Police Department just confirmed that their “previous statement stands” in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — meaning, officially, this case is not being treated as a homicide. Celeste’s body was found in September, decomposing in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist David Anthony Burke, known as d4vd. But according to the LAPD, there’s “no evidence of criminal culpability beyond concealment of a body.” That’s a misdemeanor under California law.

    In this in-depth breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks what that stunning statement really means — and why it might signal a system ready to let this case quietly fade away. Private investigator Steve Fischer, who’s working the case in Los Angeles, says there’s disturbing physical evidence from Burke’s former residence — and hints that there may have been “plans to get rid of her” before the Tesla was discovered. But with no cause of death yet determined by the L.A. County Medical Examiner, prosecutors’ hands are tied.

    Was Celeste the victim of a crime — or of institutional indifference? Why is her case the only one from September 8th still missing a cause of death? And how does a child end up dead in a celebrity’s car with no one charged and no one talking?

    We break down every angle — the silence, the legal loopholes, the unanswered forensic questions, and what this all says about justice when a famous name is attached.

  • D4VD Build-A-Bear Bombshell? New Claims From The Private Investigator!

    D4VD Build-A-Bear Bombshell? New Claims From The Private Investigator!
    Nov 6 2025
    Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to chart-topping singer D4vd — but what happened between the day she disappeared and the moment that car was opened has remained one of the most disturbing mysteries of 2025.

    In this new Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski breakdown, we go through everything the private investigator on the case, Steve Fischer, has revealed so far — what’s confirmed, what’s speculation, and what could change everything.

    From the Build-A-Bear certificate dated just days after Celeste was first reported missing… to a Six Flags roller-coaster video filmed the very same day… to items discovered inside a Hollywood Hills rental home that Fischer says “had no place being there,” this episode lays out the timeline of red flags and unanswered questions piece by piece.

    We separate what’s officially verified by police from what’s alleged by the investigator — and explore Fischer’s working theory that Celeste’s death may have been an accidental overdose followed by a devastating cover-up.

    No arrests. No suspects. No final cause of death.
    Just a 14-year-old girl, a celebrity’s Tesla, and a silence that keeps getting louder.

    If you care about truth, accountability, and the systems that fail vulnerable kids, this is the one you need to hear.

  • Why D4vd Can’t Speak — The Impossible Tightrope Between Law and Reputation

    Why D4vd Can’t Speak — The Impossible Tightrope Between Law and Reputation
    Nov 3 2025
    In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig deep into one of the most complex and misunderstood stories in music right now — the silence of D4vd.

    When fifteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in a Tesla registered to the rising artist, the headlines erupted. Fans demanded answers. Social media exploded. But from D4vd himself? Nothing. No interviews. No statements. Just total, deliberate silence.

    To some, that silence looks cold. To others, it looks calculated.
    But what if it’s neither? What if it’s the only option left?

    In this long-form breakdown, Tony unpacks the impossible tightrope D4vd is walking — between what’s right legally and what looks right publicly. Because the reality is, those two things almost never line up.

    Legally, silence is protection. It’s the first rule of survival when you’re even remotely connected to an active death investigation. Every word can be twisted, quoted out of context, or turned into evidence. That’s why attorneys tell clients: say nothing.

    But from a PR standpoint, silence is its own kind of danger. In a world that demands instant emotion and constant explanation, “no comment” feels like guilt. Online culture doesn’t wait for verdicts — it creates them.

    Tony breaks down how D4vd’s silence is both the smartest and most destructive move he could make. It’s a look at the modern collision between law, media, and morality — how public opinion forms faster than truth, how the court of social media outruns the justice system, and how one wrong sentence can destroy everything before facts even land.

    This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about the new reality every public figure faces when tragedy hits: you’re either talking, or you’re being talked about.

    🎧 Listen to this full episode of Hidden Killers for a raw look at the psychology, strategy, and stakes behind the D4vd silence — and the high-wire act of surviving both a legal battle and a public one.

  • Inside the Secret Connection Between D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez

    Inside the Secret Connection Between D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez
    Oct 29 2025
    When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez vanished from her California home, nobody imagined she’d later be found inside a Tesla — registered to viral pop star d4vd. The question haunting everyone since: what was their relationship?

    In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the connection that’s now at the center of one of the most disturbing Hollywood investigations of the year.
    Matching tattoos. An unreleased song called “Celeste.” Photos reportedly taken by him. A livestream clip that ends with the words “Delete everything.”
    What do these pieces mean — and how close were they, really?

    This isn’t gossip. It’s a deep dive into a power dynamic that may have crossed the line between fame and exploitation — and a reminder of what happens when influence meets innocence.

    Tony separates fact from rumor, walking the razor’s edge between evidence and silence in a case that’s as tragic as it is chilling.

  • What the PI Found After LAPD Left At D4VD Rental Home — A Shocking New Allegation

    What the PI Found After LAPD Left At D4VD Rental Home — A Shocking New Allegation
    Oct 23 2025
    A private investigator’s shocking account is raising new questions in the ongoing investigation linked to musician D4vd and the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

    The PI says that after LAPD executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills property, he entered and found what he describes as “sadistic plans” related to Celeste — items he claims were overlooked by investigators. LAPD has not commented publicly on the specifics, but the allegation has stirred public concern over evidence handling and procedural rigor.

    Tony Brueski speaks with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, who explains how warrant searches are supposed to work, what chain of custody means in practice, and why investigators must confirm — or refute — these types of civilian claims with caution.

    Could a procedural lapse have real legal consequences later? And what responsibility does law enforcement have to publicly clarify when private claims go viral?

    Coffindaffer lays out the stakes clearly — reminding listeners that while accusations can spread fast, only verified evidence can bring justice.

  • FBI Insider on D4VD & Celeste Rivas: The Mistakes, The Delays, The Timeline That Doesn’t Add Up

    FBI Insider on D4VD & Celeste Rivas: The Mistakes, The Delays, The Timeline That Doesn’t Add Up
    Oct 23 2025
    FBI Insider on D4VD & Celeste Rivas: The Mistakes, The Delays, The Timeline That Doesn’t Add Up

    Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing in April 2024. But five months later, she was caught on camera — alive and near home. Then, one year later to the day, her decomposed body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd.

    The car had been sitting on a public street. Then it was ticketed. Then it was towed. No one checked it. No one noticed. Until the smell.

    And now?
    Still no charges. Still no confirmed suspect.
    Just a deferred cause of death. And a growing sense that something — or someone — is being missed.

    In this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through what this case looks like through the lens of someone who’s handled high-profile, high-risk investigations — the kind where the victim is a child, the timeline is broken, and the forensic trail is already cold.

    She lays out:


    • What should have happened in the first 24 hours after the body was found


    • What kind of evidence is lost forever if you don’t move fast — and what might still be recoverable


    • How the FBI builds working timelines when a “missing” child turns up on camera months later


    • Whether the Tesla's onboard tech could actually reveal who last accessed the car


    • The red flags she sees in the tow yard timeline, family silence, media pressure, and the lack of a confirmed crime scene


    • And why “no charges” right now doesn’t necessarily mean no case — but it does mean time is running out

    This isn’t theory. This is how a real federal agent thinks, moves, and investigates when the victim is 14 — and the system may already be failing her.
