About this episode

Rapper D4vd is charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, accused of stabbing her and attempting to dismember her body.

Rapper D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, is accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez in his Hollywood Hills home. Prosecutors claim he stabbed her multiple times, attempted to dismember her body with chainsaws, and dumped the remains to cover his tracks. Burke met the girl when she was 11 and started sexually abusing her at 13. He allegedly killed her to silence her after she threatened to expose their relationship. Her parents reported her missing in February 2024, and her body was found decomposed in a towed Tesla last September. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and related charges.
