Body of Missing Teen Found in Singer D4vd’s Abandoned Tesla
The story that has been unfolding in Los Angeles is both heartbreaking and disturbing. A teenage girl, just 15 years old, was discovered inside the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to the rising music artist known as D4vd. The girl has now been identified as Celeste Rivas , a teen who was reported missing from Lake Elsinore back in March of 2024.
The discovery was made on September 8, when workers at a tow yard in Hollywood noticed a strong odor coming from the Tesla, which had been sitting there for two days after being towed from a street where it was abandoned. Police officers responded and, upon opening the front trunk, found a body inside a bag. The remains were already in a state of decomposition, suggesting that Celeste had been dead for some time before being found.

She was described as five-foot-two, with wavy black hair, and weighing about 71 pounds. At the time of discovery, she was wearing a tube top, black leggings, stud earrings, and a yellow metal bracelet. She also had a small tattoo on her finger that read “Shhh...”
What makes this case even more shocking is the connection to singer David Anthony Burke , better known as D4vd. He’s a 20-year-old indie and alt-pop artist who first gained fame on TikTok before exploding in popularity with songs like “Here With Me” and “Romantic Homicide.” He currently has millions of monthly listeners on streaming platforms and is in the middle of a world tour. While the Tesla was registered in his name, no confirmation has been made about whether he had direct involvement in what happened. A spokesperson for the singer said he has been informed of the situation and is fully cooperating with authorities.
For Celeste’s family, this development brings a devastating end to over a year of uncertainty after she went missing. Investigators are now working to determine how she ended up in the car and who was responsible. Officials have emphasized that the body was not intact and that decomposition made the investigation more complex, but the identification was confirmed beyond doubt.
Right now, the LAPD is leading the homicide investigation. Detectives plan to interview everyone connected to the vehicle, including its owner, and piece together the timeline of events that led to this discovery.
It’s a case that has left many shaken — the tragic loss of a teenager, the mystery surrounding her disappearance, and the fact that her body was discovered in a car tied to a prominent musician. As the investigation continues, both the public and Celeste’s family are waiting for answers about what really happened to her.
