Months in the making: d4vd charged with murder in Celeste Rivas Hernandez case

Los Angeles prosecutors charged alt-pop singer d4vd with first-degree murder, mutilation of human remains, and continuous sexual abuse of a minor in connection with 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death. Investigators say the months-long delay stemmed from severely decomposed remains, complex digital and forensic evidence, and a secret grand jury process. The defense pleads not guilty, while analysts caution that the severity of the charges and required witnesses justified a careful, thorough investigation.
