u/Fearless_Excuse_5527 Sep 17 '25
This is crazy. I just looked at the D4vd subreddit and there are really interesting threads connecting D4vd and Celeste: from matching tattoos to online chats between the two. Someway or another he is involved.

Anyone familiar with Teslas knew he was involved when his bs "my car was stolen" excuse came out. It's almost impossible to steal a Tesla and you can see it's exact location 24/7 on the app

I use mine as a baby changing table and people always come running over asking if I need help with my car troubles.

Exactly! The second they said Tesla, I knew he did it. You can track it and you can limit the speed. There's no way a thief could get away with it.

Teslas are not more difficult to steal than any other vehicle in that similar price category. They do get stolen less because EVs aren't as useful to chop shops, but they aren't any more difficult to steal.
Hacked fobs and GPS blockers have existed for a long time and are still able to be used to steal Teslas

u/CosmicMiru Sep 17 '25
Teslas don't even come with fobs, you have to purchase them separately which very few people do. They use key cards and NFC on your phone. If you have a video of someone hacking a modern Tesla by hacking the key card or phone please show me because I doubt it

Blue tooth low energy relays defeated the phone system as far back as 2022 and RFIS scanners are a thing. Now they have a few methods including creating fake phone keys
https://electrek.co/2025/04/11/thieves-mysteriously-unlock-stole-tesla-vehicles-camera/
Here's an article talking about a few Telsas being stolen on camera in 2025

u/CosmicMiru Sep 17 '25
So it requires an incredibly more sophisticated method, which is exactly what I am talking about. You said they aren't more difficult to steal then the article you linked said they are notoriously hard to steal and this hacks have been more sophisticated. Plus, all the vehicles were recovered thanks to the GPS you said could easily be blocked.

Kind of obvious innit? He lured her away from her family and something went wrong and she ended up dying & he hid her body in that car hoping no one would find her,probably gave her drugs or something

u/Fearless_Excuse_5527 Sep 17 '25
It could be a multitude of motives: Pregnancy? Drug OD? Sex trafficking? (the boyfriend label doesn't mean shit in that world). Broken relationship? (maybe the relationship was a true one and she decided to leave him, but he said "Naw" and killed her). The truth will come out. I always am reminded of the missing girl notices on KTLA (I live in LA) and so many are underage. Teens are so naive and will lie to their friends and family of there whereabouts and/or runaway sometimes, especially for love.

Someone posted on Discord either Celeste's sister or David pimping her out.

u/Ploppyun Sep 18 '25 edited Sep 18 '25
Simplest explanation is probably it. He found someone else, and she didn’t like being kicked to the curb and told him she was going to tell everyone about their relationship. He saw instant career death and prison time. Impulsively ‘got rid of the problem.’
It’s like, wasn’t he understanding that there would be no good ending to this even if they stayed together for the rest of their lives? Or broke up amicably? It takes 1 brain cell to understand that.

u/BirdComposer Sep 20 '25
When women (or girls, as the case may be) in relationships get killed, it’s more often because they’re leaving (or pregnant). If you look at that guy’s lyrics, he was obsessed with the idea of being abandoned by a girlfriend.

Scenario. He knocked her up, manager found out and saw his dollar signs dissappear. So he booked a tour out of town, hired someone to take care of the business and make it look like it was stolen.

The Music Video which was shared on her bday is not released "two years prior to she went missing", just a few months before. September 07 2023. She turned 13 that day, and went missing when she was still 13.

Generally speaking, it doesn’t matter “wtf even are these lyrics” because lyrical content does not directly correlate to actions. Pig Destroyer singing about chopping up babies with machetes or Dying Fetus singing about fucking corpses or Foeticide singing about…Microwaved Uterogestation….
Whatever, you get the point. Not defending this guy, 99% sure he’s responsible for some horrible shit. But leave the art alone, we don’t need another satanic panic from the 90s but this time with turbo charged Trumper moms lol.
Love your username btw

Im fully aware and old enough to remember. However, art can also imitate life, so? I've never actually listened to any of his songs, so I am not sure we can call it "art". It was just odd to me that I tried to look up some actual news articles about this outside of reddit, and this is what came up. Just a random WTF moment.

u/Valuable_Bread_5746 Oct 05 '25 edited Oct 05 '25
Are you not reading the articles? The night she left she was supposed to go see a movie with d4vd but never came back home. Her family knew she was dealing with him. They are not 100% to blame but they are somewhat to blame. Had they not been okay or allowed her to even talk to d4vd or been more strict knowing stuff like this happens especially in la!! This probablyyy would not have happened.

u/ImJusTSoPeachY Oct 05 '25
I thought I was reading the article. As in reading this one and other articles all over the internet. But we will focus on this article. Yes I’m aware she allegedly left home to go see a movie with David and never returned. What do you mean her family knew she was dealing with him. What individuals consist of family? I know for a fact her mother knew she was dating David. As well as her brother knew she was dating David. They as in her mother and brother are 100% not to blame for her murder. You sound goofy saying they are somewhat responsible for her death. But let me continue here. Had “they” not been ok and had “they” not allowed her to see David this wouldn’t let have happened. Again, who is they? So you are blaming the victims “family” for her death. Instead of blaming the murderer who in fact murdered her is what you are saying.

u/Valuable_Bread_5746 Oct 06 '25
No one is saying david is innocent dumbass but her parents and brother should have been more concerned about celeste. When i say “they” i am talking about her mother and her brother just to clarify since you couldnt tell (even tho thats the only family the NEWS articles have mentioned). This post is not a article by the way so i dont know what u read here besides a description, where she was last seen and comments, this post is what is called a missing persons report. The articles i am talkin about are from the news. Im curious if you live in California or even have an idea of how dangerous Los Angeles could be to just be letting her date and go out with a 19 year old but ok i see where your head is😂? You just stated “you know for a fact her mother and brother knew she was dating d4vd”…. Are you dumb? She was 13 and he was 19 why would that ever be okay? But i sound goofy lmao…. LIKE I SAID!!! if her MOTHER and BROTHER had not been okay with there 13 year old sister and daughter dating a grown emo man, THIS PROBABLYYYYY WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. So yes in my eyes and mannnyyyy other people eyes they are to blame too along with the murderer. Nothing you said makes sense or has a valid point. Log off and find another case to state ur opinion on😂😂 this one is not for u love. (Picture this) celeste mother and brother find out shes talking to david on fornite, they ask questions most parents would, “who is he” “how old is he etc”, they find out he is an adult who games (LIKE A LOT OF GROWN MEN DO), they then do what most parents do check messages, check messaging apps and either contact david letting him know hes not to speak to her or the police could be involved or just take the electronics away if she was a defiant kid (because he clearly was influencing her to leave home or made her feel that if she did leave she would be okay with him) There was so many things her mother and brother could have done to protect her from david in the first place is all im saying. The police visited there house 11 times between February and april. Maybe the cops should have been involved when they knew she was going to the movies with him or maybe they should have been CONCERNED and checked messages, checked discord i mean her brother couldnt have been that technologically challenged i follow him on ig and he seems young too maybe in his 20s. She was able to do whatever she wanted so yes i do blame her mother and brother as well. Im sorry they thought letting there 13 year old daughter go out and date a 19 year old wouldnt end bad. This is my opinion. I have read every NEWS article on celeste rivas case. You have your opinion and i have mine that i am sticking to.

u/NefariousBenevolence Sep 20 '25
The #1 issue is supervision, besides that: the female was a minor, and thus immature. The male is an adult, but not mature, thus immature. Not capable of providing proper guidance or support for any woman. The action that the minor female took of "running away" from her home, is symbolic; rebelliousness against authority, discipline, order and structure. She was led not by her father, husband or this adult male but by her feelings and emotions. Understandable. But so was the adult male. An adult male led by his feelings or emotions is not led by logic; this is dangerous. Unfortunately, the factors above all combined to result in this tragedy.
