在好莱坞扣押场的可怕发现引发了长达一个月的调查，导致谋杀和性虐待费用对抗一个21岁的歌手。
在一辆废弃的特斯拉汽车中发现腐烂、肢解的遗体后，调查人员很快将这辆车与它的注册车主联系起来——当局确认其为大卫·安东尼·伯克(David Anthony Burke)，专业称为D4vd，在抖音拥有近400万粉丝。
几天后，官员们确认了受害者的身份，其遗体在车中被发现，受害者是14岁的塞莱斯特·里瓦斯·埃尔南德斯，来自河滨县埃尔西诺湖。
确定这名少年的死因需要时间，经过几个月的额外调查，检察官宣布了对D4vd的指控，指控她的谋杀是有预谋的，旨在通过暴露他们未成年的关系来阻止她破坏他的音乐生涯。
D4vd的律师和家人一直坚称他是无辜的。

D4vd murder case: A timeline of the investigation into 14-year-old girl's death
A gruesome discovery in a Hollywood impound lot sparked a monthslong investigation that led to murder and sex abusechargesagainst a 21-year-old singer.
After decomposing, dismembered remains were found in an abandoned Tesla, investigators quickly linked the car to its registered owner -- identified by authorities as David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, who has nearly 4 million followers on TikTok.
Several days later, officials identified the victim whose remains were found in the vehicle -- 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, of Lake Elsinore in Riverside County.
Determining how the teen died took time, and after months of additional investigation, prosecutors announced charges against D4vd that allege her murder was a premeditated attempt to keep her from ruining his music career by exposing their underage relationship.
