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

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.

What D4VD's Deputies Actually Missed That Day

The D4VD case starts with a welfare check that got everything right except the one thing that mattered, and it ends with a first-degree murder charge. Tony Brueski lays out the complete timeline of what happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, from her first missing person report to the arrest.  Celeste disappeared from Lake Elsinore three times in early 2024. Riverside County deputies traced her phone records to musician David Burke and called him directly. LA County deputies then conducted a welfare check at Burke's West Hollywood home, where he showed them a yearbook photo and said he'd only met her once. Deputies confirmed to him that she was thirteen and a runaway. Then they left.  Prosecutors say that's when Burke allegedly paid one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to hand her a new phone so the two could keep in touch. Over the next year, she reportedly traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and wore his name on her ring finger, all while she was in seventh grade.  The unsettling overlap between Burke's public persona and the allegations against him is hard to ignore. His breakout song, his album title, and the alter ego built around both all echo what prosecutors now allege happened inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months passed between the discovery of Celeste's remains and Burke's arrest, a window that included three grand jury panels, a friend fleeing to Montana to dodge a subpoena, and Burke's family fighting the grand jury in a Texas courtroom.  Burke now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. The financial gain charge is the one prosecutors say connects the case most directly to Burke's public career.  Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ [https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/]  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd: His Biggest Song Title Hits Differently After a Murder Charge

David Burke's breakout hit has a title that now reads like something pulled directly from a prosecutor's filing. His debut album dropped two days after prosecutors allege Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed. A 2025 music video depicts imagery that mirrors the prosecution's allegations almost point for point. This episode looks at the art, the charges, and the uncomfortable question of whether any of it will matter when a jury is seated. It also looks at what happened in the seven months between the discovery of remains and an arrest. Three grand juries. A close friend who reportedly fled across the country rather than take the stand. Burke's own parents, who allegedly challenged subpoenas in a Texas court instead of answering questions about a child who had visited their home. When the DA finally filed, they didn't go small. First-degree murder with special circumstances: lying in wait, financial gain, murder of a witness. Prosecutors also allege illegal material involving minors was found on his iCloud. Forty terabytes of evidence total. The preliminary hearing is set for July 21, 2026. This is Part Three of Hidden Killers' investigation into the D4vd case — where the music, the timeline, and the charges all land in the same place.

D4vd: Fake Amazon Name, Real Address — The Digital Trail He Left Behind

Prosecutors allege David Burke used the alias "Victoria Mendez" to order items from Amazon in the weeks following Celeste Rivas Hernandez's alleged murder. The name was fake. The shipping address wasn't. Every package went straight to his Hollywood Hills home. Here's the thing about trying to hide behind a fake name while ordering to your own front door — Amazon has records. Delivery drivers have GPS logs. And according to prosecutors, investigators now have forty terabytes of evidence. The alleged cover-up, as laid out by prosecutors, reads like someone who thought digital breadcrumbs disappear on their own. An album release party the day after the alleged murder. A shovel ordered via Postmates that same morning. Geotagged Instagram content posted on a date investigators say remains were being dismembered. And a Tesla — parked on a Hollywood street for over a month — with what prosecutors allege was inside it. Multiple friends and associates allegedly noticed a strong smell coming from that car. Reportedly said nothing. The case broke open when a tow yard worker noticed the smell and made a call. This is Part Two of a three-part Hidden Killers investigation tracing every alleged move David Burke made — and every digital receipt he allegedly left behind while making them.

D4vd Case: Two Sheriff's Departments Had His Name and Still Did Nothing

David Burke — known to millions as the artist D4vd — had his name, number, and address in the hands of two separate sheriff's departments. Both were actively investigating a missing child. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was thirteen years old. Deputies allegedly called Burke. They went to his home. According to prosecutors, they were told directly how old she was. And then — here's where it gets hard to square — they moved on. Celeste had been reported missing three times. Three times. And yet prosecutors allege that over the following year, she traveled with Burke to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. She allegedly met his family. She and Burke allegedly got matching tattoos. She had his name permanently inked on her ring finger. Prosecutors also allege Burke paid a thousand dollars to one of Celeste's junior high classmates to hand her a replacement phone — a workaround after her parents cut off contact. A thirteen-year-old. A burner phone. And two law enforcement agencies with his name already in their files. This is Part One of a three-part Hidden Killers investigation into the D4vd case — and into the adults who allegedly watched every red flag sail right past them.
