All about the D4vd's case involving Celeste Rivas' murder

As per several reports, last year, a Tesla registered to the singer was discovered on September 8 to have human remains of a teenage girl in the front trunk after the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of a foul odour coming from the vehicle. Reports suggest that due to the advanced stage of decomposition, it indicated that she had likely died several weeks or months ago and was identified through dental records.

Celeste Ribas was last reported missing by her family in April. However, it was not the first time she had run away from their Lake Elsinore home. Ever since the body of Celeste was discovered, D4vd has been the centre of investigation and speculation.
