The mystery of the dead teenager in a rapper D4VD’s Tesla is still a mystery

Back in September, the body of runaway teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in the boot of a Tesla that had been towed to an impound lot. It was easy to identify the owner of the vehicle: Rapper D4VD.

Incredibly, there are still no charges and no leads. The medical examiner still hasn’t figured out the cause or method of Celeste’s death.

Was foul play involved? That hasn’t been determined. The results of an autopsy haven’t been released. Was D4VD involved in any way? He’s been questioned but not charged. He’s not even a suspect. Did he know the teenager? Unclear, but internet sleuths are working on that.

Was this an accidental death? No idea, but failing to report such a thing in California is not a crime. Besides, it only carries a $10,000 fine. What does the district attorney say? Nothing, because they haven’t received a submission on the case. The only confirmed crime is concealment of a dead body–and no one has been charged with that.

Very strange. Read more here.
