  D4vd's Inner Circle Faces WHAT in Celeste's Suit?! 19.09.2026 52мин

  D4vd Celeste Rivas Hernandez lawsuit — the family's civil case expands the focus from David Anthony Burke to the adults, companies, money, and logistics around him. The complaint asserts 12 causes of action and names Burke along with his mother Colleen Burke, management figures, live-in security guard Sheldon Jacques, and business entities tied to his career. The family's allegation is broader than simple proximity. The complaint says people in Burke's orbit knew or should have known Celeste was a minor and failed to protect her. It accuses Jacques of helping remove Celeste from her family home and transport her to Burke's Hollywood Hills residence, where he lived during part of the period described in the suit. The money trail creates a second line of civil scrutiny. The complaint alleges Colleen Burke managed significant parts of her son's finances and approved business expenses. Burke's former financial manager testified during the criminal preliminary hearing that the singer generated about $10 million to $11.5 million in gross earnings from 2023 through 2025. Records reported after Celeste's remains were discovered showed two Texas homes transferred into his mother's name. Burke has pleaded not guilty in the criminal prosecution. He was ordered to stand trial after a five-day preliminary hearing in July and remains held without bail. His private legal team later withdrew, he qualified for public-defender representation, and an October 19, 2026 status conference is scheduled. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to connect the two legal tracks. The criminal case asks whether prosecutors can prove the charges against Burke beyond a reasonable doubt. The civil suit can probe a wider circle through records, depositions, and financial discovery, potentially answering a different question: what did the people around him know, and what did they allegedly do with that knowledge? Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  D4vd's Bodyguard Was Allegedly Doing WHAT?! 15.09.2026 20мин

  The wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez against D4vd goes far beyond the artist himself. The complaint names his personal manager, his day-to-day manager who lived at the same residence, his mother Colleen Burke, his recording company, and his publishing company. Each is accused of playing a role in what the family alleges was a system of concealment.The lawsuit describes a bodyguard who allegedly drove Celeste back and forth to Burke's Hollywood Hills home. It describes a concealed phone Burke allegedly provided to maintain contact without her parents' knowledge. It describes company funds allegedly used for the house and the security that kept the arrangement hidden.David Anthony Burke faces criminal charges of first-degree murder, ongoing illegal conduct with a person under 14, and mutilation of remains. Prosecutors allege the relationship began in November 2023 when Celeste was 13. Her remains were found in the trunk of Burke's Tesla at a Hollywood impound lot in September 2025. She was 14.Burke's former legal team, including celebrity attorney Blair Berk, withdrew from the criminal case before his arraignment. He is now represented by a public defender. He has pleaded not guilty.The lawsuit does not specify a damages amount, asking instead for the figure to be determined at trial. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke examines the psychology of enablement, what it means when an entire support system allegedly participates in concealment, and how fame creates the conditions for an inner circle to rationalize silence.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What Happened To D4vd's Money Before His Arrest 01.09.2026 16мин

  D4vd made over ten million dollars between 2022 and 2025 according to testimony at his preliminary hearing. On August 31, a Los Angeles court determined he's indigent. His celebrity defense team — led by Blair Berk, the attorney who's represented Harvey Weinstein, Mel Gibson, and Britney Spears — withdrew, and the LA County Public Defender's Office stepped in. Benjamin Greger, Burke's former finance director, testified that nearly all financial decisions were handled by Burke's mother Colleen. After Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were found in Burke's Tesla, Greger testified he told Colleen to transfer property titles out of Burke's name. He testified they tried to assemble two million for bail and that the management team switched to encrypted apps. Interscope terminated his contract in December 2025 — zero income since. Burke was paying twenty thousand a month for a rental. His mother, his management, his lawyers, and the IRS all took their share before Burke touched a dollar. Now the public defenders are the ones standing between Burke and a possible death sentence. DA Nathan Hochman says he's "ready to prove all three charges beyond a reasonable doubt." This episode follows the money and asks whether the system can handle what's coming.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What D4vd's Interscope Deal Was Worth When Celeste Spoke Up 03.08.2026 16мин

  An executive from Interscope Records testified under oath that d4vd's recording contract was worth up to nineteen million dollars. His financial manager put his total earnings above ten million. Prosecutors allege that Celeste Rivas Hernandez — fourteen years old — was threatening to expose their relationship and that the money is the motive for her death.The five-day hearing produced the full evidence picture for the first time: chainsaws bought under an alias, an inflatable pool with cuts matching the victim's clothing, eleven air fresheners in a Tesla where remains sat for months, bodycam from February 2024 where a deputy said she was thirteen, Uber records placing her at his door the night she vanished, texts about pregnancy and abortion when she was thirteen, and a notarized consent form from her parents allowing international travel with him.Tony takes on the ten questions this audience will not stop asking. The money. The bodycam. The parents. The platforms. The missing chainsaw. The Uber records. The defense strategy. Everything the hearing revealed and everything it left unanswered.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  D4vd's Lawyer Says Celeste's Death Was WHAT?! 03.08.2026 36мин

  Everything connected to the d4vd murder case is moving fast, and this covers exactly where it stands. David Anthony Burke, known to millions as d4vd, has been held to answer on first-degree murder with special circumstances in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, plus charges tied to illegal conduct with Celeste and unlawful mutilation of her remains. The hearing has surfaced two very different stories. LAPD Detective Corey Farell testified that both families knew about the relationship — a notarized consent form, a Las Vegas trip with Celeste's sister, VIP concert seats, even church together. Celeste's father has since told reporters he never had any contact with Burke at all, a claim that doesn't match what's now on the record. Then came the defense. Attorney Blair Berk pressed the medical examiner on whether Celeste's wounds could have happened after she was already dead, and had a detective read messages where Celeste referenced harming herself, an early look at how Burke's team plans to fight this at trial. The physical evidence sits in the middle of it all. Prosecutors have mapped a twenty-one-minute window between Celeste's Uber arrival and her phone going permanently silent. Three chainsaws recovered from Burke's home tested negative for blood and were never collected by LAPD. His Interscope deal was reportedly worth up to nineteen million dollars. Burke faces the death penalty and has pleaded not guilty to everything. Arraignment is set for August 31st. For anyone following this case closely, the next hearing is where the real fight over evidence begins. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What d4vd Allegedly Removed From Celeste's Hand 02.08.2026 45мин

  What d4vd allegedly removed from Celeste Rivas Hernandez's hand is a detail sitting in a prosecution court brief that most people following this case still haven't seen. Two of her fingers, prosecutors wrote, were removed because of what was inked on them. That's where this breakdown starts. Work backward from there. At 12:04 in the morning, from an empty road off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County, a call went out from David Burke's phone to Celeste's number, hours after prosecutors say she was already dead. An LAPD criminalist testified about Bluestar reactions on rubber mats in Burke's garage, the bricks underneath, a rowing machine, a tarp, a cord, and a bag of wipes, all presumptive positive. Defense attorney Blair Berk got her to admit she can't call it definitively blood, and pointed to two chainsaws never swabbed for touch DNA. Then the hearing's final session. A medical examiner testified Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds and had been dead for weeks before she was found. A detective walked the court through her phone, messages tracing back to when she was eleven, close to fifty images labeled illegal material involving a minor, and texts from January 2024 indicating she was thirteen and pregnant. Her mother cried in the gallery. Her father looked at the floor. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every count. A judge now decides whether this case reaches a jury, and we go through what the record actually shows. None of it is settled. A judge still has to decide if a jury ever hears it. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  The Video d4vd Never Explained Before Celeste Died 01.08.2026 35мин

  Before the arrest, before the garage, before any of it, d4vd filmed a music video of his character dragging a body and loading it into a car. That video exists on the internet right now, and prosecutors allege he later did the real version to a fourteen-year-old girl. David Burke's rise started small and fast. A homeschooled kid recording on an iPhone in his sister's closet, building an audience inside Fortnite lobbies, a record deal and a billion streams four years later. Prosecutors say he met Celeste Rivas Hernandez online through gaming, both of them still teenagers, and the connection never drew the attention it should have from anyone around them. At seventeen, newly signed to Darkroom and Interscope, Burke built an alter ego named Itami, the Japanese word for pain, describing him as an agent of chaos who wears a blindfold, a concept from a manga about a detective whose double commits the murders he then investigates. He compared it to Tyler Durden. The character held a bloody knife in one video and took a woman's arm in another. Then came the forensic testimony. A trace analyst matched cuts on a garage pool to fragments recovered on Celeste's leggings. DNA from the Tesla and the home matched her. A criminalist described blood scrubbed from the garage near shelves stocked with fake blood. Cell tower records tracked the Tesla to Santa Barbara County three times in the weeks after Celeste allegedly died. She was fourteen when she went to Burke's Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. Her remains were found in his Tesla months later. Burke has pleaded not guilty. We go through the persona he built, the machine around him, and the physical evidence now in front of a judge. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What Celeste's Dad Denied Knowing About D4vd 01.08.2026 17мин

  After d4vd's arrest, Celeste Rivas Hernandez's father released a statement through his attorney. "I never had any contact with this guy." That denial — given to Rolling Stone, TMZ, and other outlets — ran headfirst into what surfaced at the preliminary hearing. A notarized London travel form. A Vegas trip with Celeste's sister tagging along. Burke sitting with the family in VIP sections and attending their church.A judge held David Anthony Burke to answer on all counts July 27th — first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous illegal conduct with a child under fourteen, and mutilation of remains. No bail. The DA is weighing the death penalty and says what was presented was only a fraction of the evidence. But the testimony about what Celeste's parents knew — and what they facilitated — opened a question the DA himself wouldn't answer when reporters asked.Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Celeste never got to see her fifteenth birthday.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  What D4vd’s Lawyer Claimed About Celeste In Court 31.07.2026 18мин

  After five days of preliminary hearing testimony that included DNA evidence, purchase records for chainsaws and body bags, and a twenty-one-minute timeline on the night Celeste Rivas Hernandez disappeared, defense attorney Blair Berk made moves the prosecution didn’t expect. She pressed the medical examiner on self-inflicted wounds. She introduced messages from Celeste. She highlighted three chainsaws that tested negative for blood.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines what Berk is building for trial — a genuine defense theory or a reasonable-doubt machine — and what the defense’s carefully worded claim means: “He did not murder her and he was not the cause of her death.”Bodycam from February 2024 shows Burke was told she was thirteen. The relationship allegedly continued. The Interscope deal was worth up to nineteen million dollars.

  Celeste’s Father Claimed WHAT About D4vd?! 31.07.2026 16мин

  After David Anthony Burke’s arrest, Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s father made a public claim through his attorney: he’d never had any contact with the singer. The preliminary hearing produced sworn testimony that said the opposite — church attendance together, a Las Vegas trip with her sister, and a notarized travel form bearing the parents’ signatures that sent their thirteen-year-old daughter to London with a grown man.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the legal fallout for Celeste’s parents — whether a father’s provable public denial, combined with signed documents and testimony about a pregnancy at thirteen, gives California prosecutors enough for an endangerment case.Teachers tried to warn authorities.

  D4vd's Reply To Celeste's Pregnancy Had A Laugh In It 29.07.2026 21мин

  Celeste Rivas Hernandez was pregnant at thirteen, and when she told d4vd that neither of them could care for the baby, his reply came back with a laugh attached. Those words were read into the record at the July 24 session of the preliminary hearing, by LAPD Detective Corey Farell, the prosecution's final witness. This update walks the timeline the way the courtroom heard it, with the pregnancy texts at its core. August 2022, the first messages, when Celeste was eleven. November 2023, the point Farell testified the relationship changed, two months after her thirteenth birthday. January 2024, texts indicating a pregnancy, a procedure two days away, a question Burke said his mother advised him to ask, and an answer from Celeste that carried his name. Then April 23, 2025, and silence. Alongside the texts, Farell described nearly fifty images from Burke's devices that investigators labeled illegal material involving a minor, described to the court but never displayed. Earlier in the session, Dr. Grant Ho of the county medical examiner's office testified that Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds and had been dead at least weeks before anyone found her in the Tesla, and that decomposition closed doors no examination can reopen. Prosecutors say the tattoo of Burke's name in red ink explains the two fingers missing from her hand, and their brief says so in writing. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every count. His defense contested the evidence collection throughout the hearing, and Judge Charlaine Olmedo decides whether the case is held to answer. The texts are the spine of this case, from the first message to the last. This is where they end, and this is what was said before they did.Pinned Comment:Prosecutors put on days of evidence when probable cause needed far less.

  D4vd Signed At 17 And Celeste Was HOW Old?! 28.07.2026 17мин

  By seventeen he was signed to Interscope and still in high school. Prosecutors say that by then he had already met Celeste Rivas Hernandez online through gaming, and the age they put on that first contact is the fact that changes how the whole rise reads.This one is for everybody who has followed the d4vd case from the beginning and keeps circling the same question: who was David Burke before any of this happened?Tony and Robin build the timeline. Homeschooled after seventh grade. Gospel music only until he turned thirteen. Almost every relationship he had ran through a screen. A mother who told him to stop crying about copyright strikes on his gaming clips and go write his own songs. A deal with Darkroom and Interscope at seventeen, signed while he was still in high school.And an alter ego named Itami, which is pain in Japanese. Burke described him on camera as an agent of chaos, an evil version of himself in a blindfold, lifted from a manga about a detective who has to solve the murders his other self commits.He filmed the character with a bloody knife. He animated him taking a woman's arm. He released a video in which he personally drags a body and loads it into a car.There is a serious counterargument here and it gets made: violent material proves nothing by itself, and plenty of artists build entire careers on darkness and never hurt anyone.But prosecutors allege Burke did what his character did, and now the whole persona reads differently to everyone who bought it.Tony and Robin also put the industry on the table. A label valued him in the millions and sold the darkness as the product. Does anyone in that building own a piece of this?Burke has pleaded not guilty.

  D4vd's Phone Called Celeste's Number From WHERE?! 28.07.2026 23мин

  Day three of the preliminary hearing produced the detail that stopped the room. Cell records and Tesla data put Burke's phone and his car off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County the night prosecutors say Celeste died, and at 12:04 in the morning that phone dialed her number.For everyone following the d4vd case day by day, this is the evidence conversation. Tony and Robin take the state's exhibits one at a time and hand each one to the defense.An LAPD criminalist testified that Bluestar reacted strongly on the rubber mats covering the Hollywood Hills garage floor and on the bricks beneath them. A rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag containing wipes all tested presumptive positive. A blue inflatable pool in the same garage showed nothing to the eye, smelled almost like laundry months later, and still produced a glow in one area. Another criminalist physically matched plastic fragments taken during the autopsy to the cuts in that pool.And in the same room, out in plain view, were jugs. Tested. Negative. Written up. Left in the report.The defense has a name for what those jugs were, and the whole question is whether that explanation survives being in the same room as everything else the state put on the table.Blair Berk's cross has been built on absence. Two chain saws whose handles were never swabbed for touch DNA, and a third saw found in a closet that investigators decided was not worth collecting. There were also possible footwear impressions on the pool that were never lifted or compared to any shoe.Testimony also placed a phone and a Tesla traveling together from that house to a remote part of Santa Barbara County on three separate occasions.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  Where Police Found D4vd's Missing Pool Fragments 27.07.2026 17мин

  Fragments from a blue inflatable pool in d4vd's Hollywood Hills garage were found on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's leggings. Day 3 of the preliminary hearing against David Anthony Burke put the forensic connection into the court record through testimony from three LAPD criminalists.Lisa LaHendro, a trace analyst with over twenty years of experience, described the pool's cuts as "scalloped and straight," made by a sharp object. The missing pieces were recovered from Celeste's clothing. Samantha Tosch confirmed the DNA collected from the Tesla and the rental home matched Celeste. Lauren Wallace described blood cleanup across the garage and noted the presence of jugs of fake blood — which the defense attributes to Burke's music video production for his alter ego Itami.Blair Berk, Burke's attorney, pressed police on what they didn't test. The handles of two small chainsaws in the garage were never swabbed for touch DNA after the blades came back negative for blood. Berk established that multiple people lived in the residence. Under redirect, prosecutors noted that testing for the suspect's own DNA in his own home would be meaningless.Detective Roecker's testimony placed Burke's Tesla and phone on the road to Santa Barbara County three times — April 23–24 (the night of the alleged killing), and twice more in May. Celeste's passport card was found along that Highway 154 corridor. Burke charged his EV in Santa Ynez during one trip.Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen. She went to Burke's home on April 23, 2025. She was never heard from again. The bindover ruling is imminent.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  d4vd Had Three Chainsaws And NONE Had Blood?! 24.07.2026 16мин

  d4vd case — the preliminary hearing revealed prosecutors' full digital timeline for the first time: chainsaws, a cadaver bag, laundry bags, a shovel, an inflatable pool, and a burn cage allegedly ordered under aliases but paid for with the defendant's own accounts and shipped to his own address. The digital paper trail is extensive.But the defense established a fact that prosecutors have not explained: all three chainsaws came back negative for blood. No DNA testing was ordered. The prosecution calls these tools central to the alleged cover-up. The defense says the prosecution's own lab work contradicts that claim.Court testimony also covered matching tattoos between the defendant and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, prosecutors' allegation that two fingers bearing his name tattoo were removed from her body and never found, and financial earnings exceeding ten million dollars — with the defense establishing that his mother and financial manager controlled virtually all spending.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, examines whether the defense is building a real foundation for trial or just scoring preliminary hearing points — and what three special circumstances look like when the prosecution's physical evidence has gaps.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  d4vd's Route Led Straight To WHAT On A Remote Highway?! 24.07.2026 18мин

  Day 2 of d4vd's preliminary hearing opened the financial books and then followed a trail ninety-five miles into the mountains. Prosecutors called two financial witnesses who testified Burke earned above $10 million from Interscope and brand deals between 2022 and 2025 — establishing how much he allegedly stood to lose if Celeste Rivas Hernandez exposed their relationship. Then the questioning swerved. A money manager admitted knowing Celeste's first name. The prosecutor pressed him on Burke taking her to London and to nightclubs with fraudulent identification. The defense objected and the judge cut it off. A CHP officer then testified that a Caltrans worker found Celeste's passport card in tall grass along State Route 154 in Santa Barbara County. Prosecutors allege location data shows Burke drove to that spot twice after the alleged killing. An LAPD criminologist described the Tesla at the tow yard — dust, insects, decomposition, and air fresheners stuffed throughout the vehicle. The hearing continues.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  D4VD Used Postmates To Order WHAT After Celeste Was Killed?! 24.07.2026 19мин

  The first day of David Anthony Burke's preliminary hearing put evidence that had been under seal into a public courtroom for the first time. LAPD Detective Joshua Byers testified about a sequence of purchases prosecutors allege Burke made under fake names in the weeks and months after the alleged death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Every item was allegedly paid for with his own financial accounts and shipped to his own address.Prosecutors presented body camera footage from a February 2024 encounter where a sheriff's deputy informed Burke that Celeste — whose family had filed a missing persons report — was thirteen years old. According to the footage, Burke claimed he had met her once and that she said she was eighteen. Prosecutors say the relationship was already well established by that date.Burke's former financial director took the stand and put numbers to the career prosecutors allege Burke was protecting: more than ten million dollars in gross income between 2023 and 2025. The same witness described a pivot to encrypted communications within Burke's team after the body was discovered, discussions about transferring property titles, and a retainer arrangement with Burke's mother that continues to this day.The defense challenged how key evidence was preserved and processed, securing testimony that three chainsaws recovered from the home tested negative for blood and that the cadaver bag was not fully retained. The hearing resumes with additional prosecution witnesses expected.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
