D4VD Allegedly Kept Texting Celeste After She Was Already Gone

D4VD Allegedly Kept Texting Celeste After She Was Already Gone

Author: Hidden Killers Podcast May 5, 2026 Duration: 21:07

Retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to answer your questions about the D4VD case following the People’s Brief. The behavioral patterns prosecutors describe in this filing demand expert analysis — and your messages made clear you’re ready for it.

According to the filing, David Anthony Burke allegedly maintained a sexual relationship with Celeste Rivas Hernandez beginning when she was thirteen. Prosecutors allege he isolated her from her family, paid a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a replacement phone after her parents took hers, and lied to law enforcement about knowing her age during a welfare check. When Celeste allegedly threatened to expose the relationship, prosecutors say Burke stabbed her to death and then attended a radio interview and album release party the following day.

Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. His attorneys state the evidence will show he did not murder Celeste and was not the cause of her death.

Dreeke breaks down the alleged behavioral indicators your questions keep pushing toward: what prosecutors describe as staged text messages sent to a dead girl’s phone, the alleged use of a fake identity to order disposal materials, and the alleged ability to maintain a public persona — performing on tour, giving interviews, engaging on social media — while Celeste’s body was reportedly decomposing in his vehicle for months. Your questions push into the hardest territory: what the alleged pattern of grooming, control, and concealment reveals about the prosecution’s theory of who David Burke allegedly is beneath the stage name.
