Take a look, however, and every now and then you’ll see a case that makes you stop mid-scroll: “Wait, what?! ” The 15-year-old Celeste Rivas story is one of those haunting tales that you can’t get out of your head once you know about it. Found in the most unlikely of circumstances inside a Tesla owned by up-and-coming music artist D4vd, her remains don’t answer any questions as much as ask them. And the more you scratch, the creepier it becomes.

A Tesla, an Impound Lot and a Grisly Find
Let’s start with the basics. Celeste had been missing from Lake Elsinore, Calif., for over a year. Her case stayed on the back burner until police had a disturbing breakthrough: body parts found inside a Tesla that was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. That Tesla? It's titled “D4Y,” and appropriately enough, is registered to ascending chart figure D4vd.

The car was eventually towed to an impound yard in D4vd’s hometown, and what police discovered inside left little doubt. The remains belonged to Celeste. That’s a nightmare you never want to wake up from.
A Tattoo Too Close to Home
This next part gets especially cold. When police mentioned a tattoo on the victim’s finger that read “Shhh…,” Celeste’s mom knew it was her daughter right away. She had the same tattoo inked in red at the time of her disappearance.
Now for the kicker: Fans also noticed that D4vd has the very same tattoo himself…on his right index finger. Weird coincidence, right? Except photos of him from before 2024 are also tattoo-less. His first confirmed ink doesn’t even turn up until September 2024 — months after Celeste vanished. That’s either the most disturbing coincidence in all of pop culture history or one hell of a red flag flying in neon.
A Boyfriend Named David
As if it could get weirder, Celeste’s mother tossed out a new detail: the boy who was undoubtedly her daughter’s boyfriend — his name was David. I mean really, “David’ is a pretty common name and all. You probably know three yourself. But your daughter is missing, and her body is in a Tesla connected to a guy named D4vd, and oh — he happens to have the same tattoo as she does? That’s a recipe for goosebumps.

The Final Look and the Puzzle Pieces
Celeste was last seen wearing black leggings, a tube top and an earring stud; she also wore a chain bracelet in the pattern of a “W” on the day of her disappearance. Fast-forward to when her remains are discovered: authorities find the exact same details. The tautness is eerie, the pieces of the puzzle clicking into place but leaving an even starker image.
The Tesla That Raises More Questions Than It Answers
So, about that Tesla. It was in the name of D4vd, Texas plates and all. Police have also confirmed the car had not been reported stolen. But get this — D4vd wasn’t even in Los Angeles the day when the car was left there, September 8th. He had been abroad for more than a month.
So, he didn’t drive it — who did? And how does one of the grimmest finds of the decade become tied to a celebrity’s car?
The Silence Around Suspects
There’s no confirmation yet, as police have not named any suspects or specifically mentioned D4vd in relation to the attack. But c’mon, a missing teen found in a car of a top-selling performer who somehow has her tattoo? That’s the type of PR no artist deserves. The optics are bad — really bad.
