Could Anyone In D4VD's Circle Still Face Charges In Celeste's Case?

 Prosecutors have reportedly said David Anthony Burke did not act alone in disposing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. That statement, combined with the pattern of resistance from his inner circle, raises a question this look back puts directly to former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis: who else is legally exposed, and what would it take to cross the line from witness to co-defendant?

Faddis walks through each player. Neo Langston's attorneys issued a statement using specific cooperation language — "fully cooperated" and "will continue to assist the prosecution as needed" — which Faddis reads for what it likely signals about a formal deal and what terms that kind of agreement typically carries. Burke's manager reportedly testified for multiple days before the grand jury, represented by the same attorney reportedly representing another witness — a potential conflict of interest Faddis says the defense could use to attack credibility at trial. The Burke family fought their subpoenas through a Texas appeals court, arguing they couldn't even see the full basis for being called. The court ordered compliance.

Faddis also tackles the broader legal question: if others had knowledge of the alleged crimes — the relationship with a minor, the death, or the handling of remains — and stayed silent, does cooperation buy immunity, or could charges still come? Burke has been charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional counts related to the victim's age, and a separate count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting.
