Episode Details

A chilling new chapter unfolds in the D4vd case as prosecutors unveil disturbing text messages, photos, and evidence linking singer David Anthony Burke to the sexual abuse and murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Conversations dating back to when she was just 11 reveal alarming intimacy, including discussions about pregnancy, contraception, and even a plan called “Operation Awesome” for her to run away with him. Graphic content recovered from Burke’s phone, including explicit images and videos, sent shockwaves through the courtroom — so much so that Celeste’s parents fled. Prosecutors allege Burke stabbed her multiple times, severed a finger tattooed with his name, and staged her death. Burke, now 20, has pleaded not guilty as the preliminary hearing continues to determine if there’s enough to proceed to trial.
