- 💡 A private investigator, Steve Fiser, has revealed the discovery of an unused high-temperature burn cage incinerator at a Hollywood Hills property linked to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- 🎯 The incinerator, advertised to burn at 1,600°, was found new in its box and delivered under a false name, raising questions about its intended use.
- 🔑 Human cremations typically occur around 1,400°, and incinerators are not legal within city limits, making its presence at a residential property suspicious.
LAPD and Medical Examiner's Office Discrepancies
- ⚠️ Authorities have sealed the medical examiner's records by court order, with the LAPD disputing earlier media claims that Celeste's body was frozen or decapitated.
- ⚖️ The LAPD stated the court order was to protect the investigation as a possible grand jury review unfolds, not to undermine transparency.
- 🔍 The robbery homicide division released a statement to dispel misinformation, asserting the body was not frozen and had not been decapitated when discovered.
Investigator's Findings and Concerns
- 🧠 Fiser suggests the burn cage and other items found could indicate plans for disposal of the body, describing them as "scary sadistic stuff."
- 📌 He questions why the burn cage was delivered to a private residence instead of a prop house and why it was ordered before a world tour if intended for video production.
- 🧐 The investigator notes the burn cage was not seized during the search warrant, possibly because it was unused and thus not deemed immediately relevant to the criminal investigation.
Expert Analysis on Evidence and Investigation
- 🧐 Retired detective Matt Irvine finds Fiser's remarks well-considered, stating there's no legitimate innocent reason for such an item to be at a private residence under a false name.
- 🚨 Irvine questions why LAPD did not seize the incinerator, suggesting a "piggyback warrant" could have been obtained to seize unexpected evidentiary items.
- ❓ The incomplete nature of the body's discovery in the Tesla trunk suggests a plan for disposal that was not fully executed, making the burn cage potentially evidentiary.
Grand Jury and Transparency Issues
- ⚖️ The unusual security hold on the medical examiner's records by court order, requested by LAPD, is seen as a point of contention, with the Chief Medical Examiner advocating for transparency.
- 🗣️ The LAPD's concern is to avoid compromising an ongoing investigation, while the Medical Examiner's office believes security holds are rarely proven to improve outcomes.
- 📈 An investigative grand jury may be used to lock in testimony and gather evidence, potentially involving immunity agreements for less culpable individuals to implicate more culpable ones.
