D4VD's Three Midnight Trips Prosecutors Just Exposed
About this episode
The episode discusses the prosecution's evidence against David Anthony Burke in the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
One trip to a remote highway in the middle of the night could be anything. Three trips — on April 23, May 8, and May 31 — to the same isolated stretch off SR-154 near Lake Cachuma? Prosecutors say that's a pattern. The People's Brief filed this week against David Anthony Burke describes an alleged cover-up that prosecutors say began within minutes of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's arrival at his Hollywood Hills home and continued for months. Staged text messages allegedly sent to a dead girl's phone. A shovel, chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool allegedly ordered under the fake name "Victoria Mendez." And blue plastic fragments embedded in Celeste's remains that the LAPD forensic lab reportedly matched to that pool. Celeste's U.S. Passport Card was found in the same area Burke allegedly visited three times. The brief was filed by Deputy DA Beth Silverman and made public after the judge denied the defense's request to seal it. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the prosecution's evidence roadmap and what each piece tells us about how this case is being built. Part 1 of 3.
