What D4VD Allegedly Did the Morning After Celeste Rivas Hernandez Was Reportedly Killed

According to prosecutors, David Anthony Burke allegedly fatally stabbed Celeste Rivas Hernandez in his Hollywood Hills garage, then drove over a hundred miles to a remote location to allegedly dispose of evidence. The following morning, he reportedly gave a radio interview to promote his album. In the days and weeks that followed, prosecutors allege he ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool under a fake name — and forensic evidence reportedly connects those items to injuries found on Celeste's remains. This Hidden Killers Week in Review combines two episodes analyzing the prosecution's case through the expertise of retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott.

The People's Brief outlines what prosecutors characterize as years of alleged sexual exploitation preceding the alleged murder. Burke reportedly met Celeste when she was eleven. The relationship allegedly became sexual when she was thirteen. By fourteen, she was reportedly traveling with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. Prosecutors say Burke was informed by deputies during a welfare check that Celeste was thirteen and that she had been reported missing — and that he allegedly continued pursuing her. When her parents confiscated her phone, the prosecution alleges Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a replacement device.

Coffindaffer analyzes the alleged exploitation timeline through her FBI behavioral analysis experience and examines the systemic failure points — including what the welfare check should have triggered and how the alleged grooming pattern connects to the prosecution's theory of motive. Scott addresses the psychological profile prosecutors are constructing, including the alleged capacity to conceal both the relationship and, later, the alleged crime from associates who reportedly detected the smell of decay from Burke's home and vehicle over an extended period. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His attorneys maintain he is innocent and did not cause Celeste's death.
