rich 1.0 Day 1 of the d4vd preliminary hearing brought sealed evidence into public view. LAPD Robbery-Homicide Detective Joshua Byers testified about a chain of purchases allegedly made under fake identities — "TRavion Davis," "Victoria Mendez" — but traced back to David Anthony Burke's own cards and address. Burke faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts. Prosecutors presented the purchase timeline in sequence, showing items allegedly acquired in the days, weeks, and months following the alleged death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The gap between the earliest and latest purchases — a shovel in April 2025 and a burn cage in July 2025 — is part of the prosecution's theory about an alleged disposal plan that kept shifting. Digital forensics placed Burke's phone — registered in the Tesla's Bluetooth under an unusual name — as last connected to the vehicle on the same day surveillance footage allegedly shows him parking it and walking away through an alley before leaving on tour. The hearing also featured body camera footage from a 2024 welfare check, financial testimony establishing more than ten million dollars in career income, and revelations about encrypted communications and asset transfers within Burke's inner circle. The defense pressed hard on evidence handling gaps. Multiple hearing days remain.
