About this episode

The episode discusses the shocking details of the prosecution's case against David Anthony Burke in the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

For over a year, this case lived behind sealed doors and unnamed sources. That's over now. The People's Brief filed by Deputy DA Beth Silverman puts the prosecution's entire case on the public record for the first time — and what it alleges David Anthony Burke did to fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez is staggering in its detail and its darkness. Tony Brueski reads the full nine-page filing and breaks down every allegation. A child allegedly groomed from age eleven. A sexual relationship prosecutors say began at thirteen. An argument over text the night before Celeste allegedly died — where she threatened to expose everything. An Uber ride to Burke's Hollywood Hills home. Texts allegedly sent to her phone minutes after prosecutors say she was already dead. Chainsaws and a body bag ordered on Amazon. Three midnight trips to a remote highway. Forensic matches between evidence in Burke's garage and Celeste's remains. And months of an alleged cover-up while Burke went on a world tour. The defense tried to bury this filing. The judge let the public see it. Now you can hear every word. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS…
