About this episode

The episode discusses the case of singer D4vd, accused of murdering and dismembering a 14-year-old girl he had allegedly been abusing.

Singer/songwriter D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is accused of killing a 14-year-old girl he'd allegedly been sexually abusing for years in order to keep her quiet about their relationship. Prosecutors say the singer, now 21, stabbed Celeste Rivas Hernandez to death at the Hollywood Hills home he was renting in April 2025, then allegedly dismembered her using a chainsaw. Her remains were found months later in the front trunk of a Tesla connected back to Burke.
