The shocking discovery of teenager Celeste Rivas’s dismembered body inside musician D4vd’s Tesla continues to unravel, with fresh footage now raising more questions about her final days.
Investigators believe they may have traced her movements just weeks before the gruesome find in Los Angeles.
Spotted at a Concert Weeks Before
TMZ obtained video that appears to show a young woman resembling Rivas at D4vd’s August 24 show in Silver Spring, Maryland.
On the balcony, behind the stage, a girl with the same hairstyle and frame as Rivas can be seen.
She’s dressed in a black tube top and ripped blue jeans—clothes matching the description of what police say she wore when her body was later found.
She stood quietly as the crowd enjoyed the music, while a man beside her danced.
The sighting, if confirmed, could help investigators establish a timeline of her whereabouts leading up to September 8, when her remains were discovered.
Troubled Background and Rumored Relationship
Reports have also revealed that Rivas had a difficult past as a runaway.
On top of that, images recently surfaced suggesting a close relationship between the 15-year-old and the 19-year-old singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.
In one photo, the two appear cozy in a green booth, with Rivas gazing at him affectionately.
Observers noted that Burke was wearing the same black shirt with a spider graphic that he’d also been seen in while hanging out with Billie Eilish back in 2023.
Police Step Up Their Investigation
Authorities are not taking chances.
Detectives raided D4vd’s $20,000-a-month Hollywood Hills home, leaving with multiple bags of evidence, including electronic devices.
Investigators are said to be looking for traces of blood and any digital links that could tie Burke to Rivas’s death.
Social Media Adds Fuel to the Fire
The internet has played its own role in this unsettling case.
In January, Rivas was seen in a livestream with D4vd, encouraging him to answer fan questions.
Months later, the singer reposted a TikTok clip of a man chopping lunchmeat, which many now view as a disturbing echo of what happened to Rivas.
Comments flooded in, with some saying they felt sick knowing what was discovered later.
Others pointed out his old social media likes and hinted that all of this could end up in a Netflix documentary one day.
The TikTok Creator Speaks Out
Brayan, the content creator behind the chopping video, quickly clarified he had no connection to D4vd or the case.
He explained the video was part of a lighthearted cucumber-trend joke and had no sinister intentions.
He even admitted he didn’t know who D4vd was until the news broke.
Music Under the Microscope
Fans and online sleuths have also begun dissecting D4vd’s music for clues.
His 2022 hit Romantic Homicide featured a dark-haired girl in the video who many believe resembled Rivas.
More alarming is a track from late 2023 titled “Celeste_Demo unfin.”
The lyrics describe a girl named Celeste with intimate personal details: a tattoo, cigarette scent, and references to a romantic relationship.
While it’s unclear if the song directly refers to Rivas, the parallels have left many disturbed.
Questions That Remain
As the investigation unfolds, the evidence—concert footage, intimate photos, song lyrics, and troubling social media activity—paints an increasingly dark picture.
What started as the tragic case of a runaway teen has now drawn global attention, with fans, police, and the public searching for answers about what really happened between Celeste Rivas and D4vd.
