The Trunk: From TikTok to Tragedy

About this episode

When 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to rising star David “d4vd” Burke, a death investigation began that’s shaken LA and the internet alike. In this episode, we break down what’s confirmed, what’s still rumor, and what the science of decomposition says about whether a recent concert video could really show Celeste alive. We dive into the timeline, the legal options prosecutors have, for who ever is responsible, even without a cause of death, and why, instead of sinking D4vd's career, the headlines have only fueled Burke’s streaming numbers. Where does the case go from here? A family searches for answers, an artist is innocent until proven otherwise, and will his artistry depictions interfere with facts? #truecrime
