D4VD: Three Parts. Every Angle. No Flinching.

D4VD: Three Parts. Every Angle. No Flinching.

Author: Hidden Killers Podcast April 24, 2026 Duration: 57:27

The complete three-part interview with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott on the D4VD case — all in one place.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was 13 when she was first reported missing. She was 14 when she was allegedly last seen alive at David Anthony Burke's Hollywood Hills home. Her dismembered remains were found months later in his Tesla. Burke was on a world tour. His inner circle was silent. And his biggest song was called "Romantic Homicide."

Scott — author of The Minds of Mass Killers, with over 30 years in forensic mental health and violence psychology — examines this case from every psychological angle with Tony Brueski. The vulnerability that allegedly made Celeste a target. The systemic failures that let her disappear. The alleged compartmentalization that allowed Burke to reportedly perform while carrying something this extreme. The behavior of the inner circle under pressure — the friend who fled, the parents who fought subpoenas, the wall of silence that held for months. And the question that defines this case: Does the pattern of charges, combined with the art that preceded them, reveal a scared kid or a fundamentally dangerous person?

This is the full series for anyone who needs to understand not just what allegedly happened — but why, and what it reveals about the people involved.
