Detectives Dismiss Widely Circulated Claims and Clarify Key Details as Scrutiny Intensifies
Los Angeles police pushed back Wednesday on misinformation circulating about the investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, saying several details reported by media outlets are inaccurate.
In a statement, the Los Angeles Police Department said Rivas’ body was neither frozen nor decapitated when it was found inside a Tesla at an impound yard on September 8. The LAPD also confirmed investigators have evidence that singer D4vd traveled to Santa Barbara County sometime in the spring of 2025, but emphasized that the purpose of the trip remains unclear. Detectives, the agency said, have not drawn conclusions about whether that travel is connected to the case.
Police also addressed reports regarding a sealed court order tied to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s findings. According to the LAPD, the department requested the order solely to allow Robbery-Homicide Division detectives to review critical information before it became public, adding that the move was not intended to limit transparency.
The Medical Examiner’s office said, after the court order was issued last Friday, “The practice of security holds is virtually unheard of in other counties and has not been proven to improve outcomes in the legal system. We are dedicated to serving our community with full transparency; however, the law precludes us from doing so while the court order remains in this case.”
