What D4VD Allegedly Ordered Under a Fake Name After Celeste Rivas Hernandez Vanished

Eleven when they allegedly met. Thirteen when the relationship allegedly became sexual. Fourteen when she was reportedly dead. The People's Brief in the D4VD case lays out a progression that prosecutors call a years-long pattern of sexual exploitation — and according to the filing, law enforcement directly told David Anthony Burke that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was a minor before the worst of it allegedly occurred. This Hidden Killers Week in Review brings together two episodes featuring retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examining every layer of the prosecution's case.

Tony Brueski walks through the alleged deception that prosecutors say made the relationship possible. People in Burke's world reportedly believed Celeste was a nineteen-year-old USC student. When her parents found out the truth and confiscated her phone, prosecutors allege Burke drove to Lake Elsinore and paid a classmate a thousand dollars to deliver a new one. She was reported missing twice. Deputies conducted a welfare check and reportedly informed Burke she was thirteen. The prosecution maintains he continued pursuing her regardless — allegedly taking her to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, with summer weekends spent at his Hollywood Hills home.

Coffindaffer analyzes how the alleged exploitation pattern connects to the prosecution's murder motive and what systemic failures allowed it to allegedly continue. Scott examines the psychological dimensions of what prosecutors describe — from the alleged initial grooming of a child to the behavior allegedly exhibited after Celeste's death, including what prosecutors say was a radio interview to promote his album the morning after she was allegedly killed. Burke has pleaded not guilty. His defense team maintains he is innocent and did not cause Celeste's death.
