A chilling new twist in the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez: prosecutors now say she was not pregnant at the time of her death, after her death certificate was amended from “no” to “unknown.” Musician D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, remains defiantly not guilty, facing charges that could include the death penalty. Allegedly fearing Celeste’s relationship would ruin his career, Burke is accused of stabbing her and dismembering her with a chainsaw in an inflatable pool — evidence confirmed by blue plastic fragments found in her remains inside a Tesla registered to him. Text messages hinting at a prior pregnancy and abortion — allegedly his child — were introduced, while disturbing child sexual abuse material was deemed too graphic for court. Celeste’s parents watched in agony as the evidence unfolded. With the judge approving trial and prosecutors holding back even more damning details, Burke remains jailed without bail as the case spirals toward a potentially historic verdict.
