A major development has emerged in the ongoing investigation surrounding rising music star D4vd and the mysterious death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to him.

According to a private investigator, new evidence could completely change the direction of the case — and possibly bring an arrest very soon.

Private investigator Steve Fiser, hired by the owner of the rental property where D4vd had been staying, revealed that he has uncovered seven new pieces of evidence that could “blow the investigation wide open.

” In an interview, Fiser claimed to have obtained surveillance footage that shows the last person to drive the Tesla before it was abandoned on July 29th in Hollywood.

The footage, captured by neighborhood security cameras, reportedly shows someone parking the car late at night and stepping out wearing distinctive clothing.

 

Fiser stated that he has already turned the footage over to the LAPD, and that the person seen in the video is someone he is “certain” he can identify.

According to him, whoever parked the Tesla knew what was inside — the body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Despite these revelations, police have not yet made an arrest, reportedly waiting for toxicology and forensic results before moving forward.

 

Behind the scenes, however, pressure is mounting. Fiser hinted that an arrest could come soon, and his tone during interviews suggested that authorities are preparing for a major move.

“When an investigator says that on camera,” one report noted, “it’s not a casual remark — it’s a warning shot.”

 

Yet the video footage isn’t the only shocking discovery.

Fiser also claimed to have entered the rental property tied to D4vd and found disturbing physical evidence that could be linked to the crime — items allegedly left behind by police during their initial search.

Though he refused to disclose specifics for legal reasons, Fiser described what he found as “sadistic” and “beyond tools” — objects that could have been used to dispose of a body.

 

According to Fiser, these items included heavy-duty trash bags, cleaning agents, and chemical products that had “no reason to be there.

” His vague description sent the internet into a frenzy, with many speculating that the chemicals were industrial-grade substances used to dissolve organic matter — possibly acid.

Even more troubling, Fiser claims that the LAPD photographed but did not seize some of these materials, leaving them behind after their first search of the property.

 

The implication is chilling: if these materials are later found to contain traces of the victim’s DNA, questions will arise not only about who committed the crime, but why police didn’t act sooner.

 

But perhaps the most startling revelation concerns the timeline of Celeste’s death.

Until now, most assumed that she died sometime around late July — close to when the Tesla was found.

However, Fiser’s findings suggest something far darker: Celeste may have been dead since January 2025, six months earlier than investigators believed.

 

The last verified image of her, according to Fiser, was taken on January 2, 2025, inside one of D4vd’s rental properties.

After that date, there were no confirmed sightings, communications, or authentic social media activity from her accounts.

This revelation implies that the teenager’s body may have been stored or moved for months before being left in the Tesla.

 

Such a detail completely transforms the nature of the case. Rather than a sudden act or tragic accident, the evidence points to careful planning and concealment — a deliberate orchestration that may have involved multiple locations.

 

Fiser also introduced a new theory that upends previous assumptions: Celeste may never have stayed at the main Hollywood Hills property associated with D4vd.

Contrary to popular belief, he says there was no physical trace of her presence there — no belongings, no DNA, no sign she lived in that space.

Instead, he believes she may have been staying in a second, hidden apartment somewhere in downtown or Hollywood, possibly rented under another person’s name.

 

If true, this suggests a coordinated effort to hide her, one involving other individuals and financial resources.

Fiser hinted that the apartment could be tied to the same management circle or bank accounts associated with D4vd, which, if confirmed, could expose a wider network of people involved in covering up what happened to Celeste.

Despite the explosive nature of these claims, the LAPD has remained silent. Officials have not commented publicly on the alleged footage, the disturbing objects, or the possible secondary property.

They’ve only reiterated that the investigation remains open and that further forensic analysis is underway.

 

However, this silence is fueling public frustration. Many online have questioned why an independent investigator appears to be revealing more than law enforcement.

Why hasn’t the LAPD confirmed or denied the existence of the footage? Why weren’t potentially incriminating materials seized during the first search?

Adding to the confusion is D4vd’s complete absence from public view.

Known for his active online presence, he and those close to him have gone quiet — a silence that, as one reporter put it, “feels deafening.”

 

Fiser’s most damning statement, however, came in a subtle line that many initially overlooked: “There could have been greater plans as far as getting rid of her.” By using the word plans, he implied that this was not a crime of panic, but a premeditated act.

According to him, the evidence points to preparations made well before Celeste’s death — materials purchased, spaces arranged, and a strategy devised to dispose of her body.

 

This theory aligns with the January timeline. If Celeste died months before the Tesla was abandoned, it would mean someone took deliberate steps to store, hide, and later relocate her remains.

Such a scenario suggests not just murder, but calculated concealment.

As the investigation continues, one fact is clear: there was at least one crime — the concealment of a body.

But as toxicology and forensic results come in, authorities may uncover something even more serious.

 

Fiser remains confident that arrests are imminent. He insists the LAPD has what they need and that the delay is strategic — a move to ensure the case is airtight before it explodes into the public eye.

“They’re waiting for the science,” he said, “and once those reports drop, everything changes.”

 

For now, the D4vd case remains one of the most haunting and perplexing investigations in recent memory.

Each new discovery raises more questions than answers — about what really happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was involved, and why it took months for the truth to begin emerging.

 

The world waits for the next move — and for justice to finally find its way through the silence.
