D4VD Texts Surface Abortion Talk as Murder Case Moves Forward

TL;DR
Prosecutors at a preliminary hearing in the D4VD case disclosed recovered text messages between David Burke (D4VD) and Celeste Rivas Hernandez showing she had an abortion in January 2024 when she was 13, as part of a broader case accusing Burke of murdering and dismembering her in 2025. The messages, along with testimony describing alleged child-sex-abuse material and extensive autopsy-DNA evidence, are used to argue the case should proceed to trial, while Burke’s defense raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the death.
