In April 2024, 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez vanished from Lake Elsinore, California. Seventeen months later, her remains were found in the trunk of an impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard—registered to rising R&B star David Burke, known as d4vd. Prosecutors allege he began sexually abusing Celeste at 13 and killed her to protect his career. After a preliminary hearing, a judge ordered Burke to stand trial; he has pleaded not guilty. This week, Morgan and Kaelyn unpack the case dominating headlines all summer.
