D4VD Murder Prosecution: Grand Jury Silence and Witness Flight
Saturday, 25 April, 2026
David Anthony Burke, twenty-one, professionally known as D4VD, has been charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under fourteen years of age, and mutilation of human remains in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke has entered a plea of not guilty. The special circumstances — lying in wait, commission of a crime for financial gain, and killing a witness to a crime — render Burke eligible for life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.The procedural path to these charges is significant. A grand jury investigation was convened and heard months of testimony. No indictment was returned. The existence of the investigation became public only when Burke's family members challenged subpoenas in a Texas court. Charges were ultimately filed through a criminal complaint by the DA's office following Burke's arrest on a Ramey warrant — a probable cause arrest warrant secured directly from a judge.The defense statement warrants close examination. Burke's attorneys stated he "was not the cause of her death" — language that does not broadly assert innocence but specifically contests causation. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides analysis of what that framing signals about the defense posture.Coffindaffer also examines the witness behavior pattern that has complicated this investigation. Burke's manager allegedly testified for three days before the grand jury and was reportedly overheard stating his role was to maintain the tour schedule, not contact law enforcement. A female associate was arrested on a material witness warrant after going into hiding. Another associate allegedly fled to Montana and was compelled to return.The Rivas family — immigrants from El Salvador — has observed this case unfold through sealed proceedings, gag orders, and a secret grand jury while a defense team with significant resources shaped the public narrative. Celeste was last known alive arriving at Burke's Hollywood Hills residence in April 2025. Tracking data allegedly places Burke in a remote area of Santa Barbara County during the window investigators believe she died. Detectives seized electronics, found a burn cage incinerator at his rental property, and continued evidence retrieval on the night of the arrest.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
