Missing Ciera Breland | Always the Husband?!

Timestamp to skip intro: (10:20) Lawyer Ciera Locklair met Xavier Breland during the pandemic.  The two were married by a Justice of the Peace via Zoom, shortly after they first met. Ciera became pregnant and gave birth to their son in October 2021.  She was becoming increasingly unhappy in her marriage and told family and friends of her plans to leave Xavier.  Ciera even had a burner phone to use in case of an emergency and she told her cousin that if anything happened to her, authorities should look at Xavier. In February 2022, Ciera, Xavier and their son traveled from Indiana to Georgia to visit family.  Ciera was last seen alive on CCTV at Xavier’s mother’s home on February 23, 2022.  After that date, Ciera vanished and no trace of her has ever been found. Xavier has given conflicting stories about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s disappearance.  He is currently incarcerated on charges unrelated to this case.

A "Romantic Homicide"? | D4vd & Celeste Rivas Hernandez

Timestamp to skip the intro: (9:00) In early September 2025, an abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles to a tow yard after it violated a parking ordinance.  Within days, employees at the yard reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle and reported that it was attracting flies.   When authorities investigated, they discovered the body of a young female in the front trunk of the Tesla.   The body was identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a California teen who had been reported missing in 2024.   Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Celeste had been associated with the musician D4vd in recent years.  The two have documented interactions online.  When Celeste’s body was discovered, she was noted to have a tattoo that matched one that d4vd has.   D4vd has since cancelled his upcoming tour and media sources report that he is a suspect in Celeste’s death.  No charges have been laid but a grand jury has been convened in the case.   Read our blog for the case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/11/30/the-death-of-celeste-rivas-hernandez-is-d4vd-involved/ [https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/11/30/the-death-of-celeste-rivas-hernandez-is-d4vd-involved/]   Join us on Patreon for weekly, exclusive content - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety [http://Patreon.com/truecrimesociety]   Be sure to follow us on all social media for the latest crime news – Instagram.com/truecrimesociety [http://Instagram.com/truecrimesociety] and search ‘True Crime Society’  on all other platforms.
