The Video d4vd Never Explained Before Celeste Died

Before the arrest, before the garage, before any of it, d4vd filmed a music video of his character dragging a body and loading it into a car. That video exists on the internet right now, and prosecutors allege he later did the real version to a fourteen-year-old girl.  David Burke's rise started small and fast. A homeschooled kid recording on an iPhone in his sister's closet, building an audience inside Fortnite lobbies, a record deal and a billion streams four years later. Prosecutors say he met Celeste Rivas Hernandez online through gaming, both of them still teenagers, and the connection never drew the attention it should have from anyone around them.  At seventeen, newly signed to Darkroom and Interscope, Burke built an alter ego named Itami, the Japanese word for pain, describing him as an agent of chaos who wears a blindfold, a concept from a manga about a detective whose double commits the murders he then investigates. He compared it to Tyler Durden. The character held a bloody knife in one video and took a woman's arm in another.  Then came the forensic testimony. A trace analyst matched cuts on a garage pool to fragments recovered on Celeste's leggings. DNA from the Tesla and the home matched her. A criminalist described blood scrubbed from the garage near shelves stocked with fake blood. Cell tower records tracked the Tesla to Santa Barbara County three times in the weeks after Celeste allegedly died.  She was fourteen when she went to Burke's Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. Her remains were found in his Tesla months later. Burke has pleaded not guilty. We go through the persona he built, the machine around him, and the physical evidence now in front of a judge.  **Links**  Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
