Grief Deepens as Prosecutors Reveal Dismemberment Details in Celeste Rivas Case

Prosecutors allege 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was murdered by musician David Burke (D4vd), who stabbed her, stood by as she bled, dismembered her with a chainsaw, and attempted to destroy evidence; investigators say Burke purchased a body bag and inflatable pool and kept her body in the trunk of a Tesla, with the case tied to multiple charges including first-degree murder with special circumstances; Burke is held without bail as a preliminary hearing approaches, and Celeste’s family, through attorney Patrick Steinfeld, described their pain and asked for privacy as authorities cite substantial evidence, including iPhone data and 40 terabytes of information, in the ongoing investigation.
