Episode Description from the Publisher

Messages recovered from singer d4vd’s phone indicate fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez became pregnant by him at thirteen and later had an abortion. During David Anthony Burke’s preliminary hearing, prosecutors also revealed sexually explicit evidence, matching tattoos, blood spatter inside his Hollywood Hills garage, and a disturbing series of purchases allegedly made before Celeste’s severely decomposed and dismembered remains were discovered inside the front trunk of his Tesla.In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield reconstructs the nearly three-year timeline prosecutors presented in court, beginning when Celeste was only eleven years old. From the alleged sexual relationship and abortion messages to chainsaws, body bags, an inflatable pool and the millions Burke potentially stood to lose, Ashleigh examines the graphic forensic evidence, the prosecution’s alleged motive and the significant gaps the defense could use if the d4vd murder case goes to trial.
