Discovery of Celeste's Body

• 💡 The decomposed and partially dismembered body of 13-year-old Celeste Rivas was found in the frunk of a dusty 2023 Tesla Model Y with Texas plates, abandoned in Hollywood Hills.
• 🚨 Employees at Hollywood Tow noticed a foul odor from the vehicle, leading police to discover the remains wrapped in plastic.
• 🔬 Celeste was forensically identified by a tiny "sh" tattoo on her finger, as her body was severely decomposed, weighing 71 lbs compared to her life weight of 120 lbs.

D4VD's Connection and Background

• 📌 Celeste, 13, reportedly ran away from home to meet multi-platinum music star D4VD (David Anthony Burke) after connecting on social media.
• 🎶 D4VD, a former gamer, gained fame with his self-produced song "Romantic Homicide," which features lyrics about killing and not regretting it.
• 👕 He also sold blood-spattered merchandise, which he later removed from online view after the discovery of Celeste's body.

Post-Discovery Actions and Investigation
