A disturbing Hollywood mystery continues to unfold after the decomposed body of a teenage girl was discovered inside a Tesla registered to American singer D4vd (David Burke). Despite weeks of investigation, key questions about her death and the singer’s connection to the case remain unanswered.
According to a report from FOX 11 on October 20 (local time), private investigator Steve Fischer, hired by the owner of the Hollywood Hills property once rented by D4vd, revealed a crucial new detail. “The last known photo of Celeste was taken on January 2, 2025,” he said, referring to the victim.

The remains were later identified as belonging to a teenage girl who disappeared last year. While speculation initially suggested the girl may have been pregnant and killed to hide the fact, a coroner’s report released last month ruled out that theory.
D4vd has since retained the services of famed defense attorney Blair Berk, whose high-profile clients have included Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Britney Spears and Reese Witherspoon. Berk is known for handling complex cases involving entertainment figures, fueling speculation about the seriousness of the investigations.
Authorities have not confirmed whether D4vd is considered a suspect, a witness or an unrelated person, but the singer has reportedly cooperated with law enforcement. At the moment, both the cause of death and how the girl’s body ended up in the car remain unexplained.
Born in 2005, D4vd rose to fame online before debuting as one of the most promising singer-songwriters of his generation. His first studio album, released in April 2025, quickly climbed the Billboard charts, cementing his global popularity. He held his first concert in South Korea in November 2024 and also appeared Mnet’s “M Countdown”.
Despite his musical success, this tragedy has cast a long shadow over the young artist’s burgeoning career as fans and investigators alike await answers in a case that grows more mysterious by the day.
