Celeste Hernandez was a California teen who vanished—only to be discovered days later, deceased in the trunk of a Tesla in Hollywood. The vehicle belonged to David Burke, known publicly as D4VD, a rising music artist whose meteoric career now intersects with a devastating loss of life.But here’s where the story gets more complex: D4VD has not been arrested.Killer expert William A. Noguera offers a defense-side perspective on the legal and public dynamics surrounding this case—and why neither D4VD nor his attorney has issued a public statement. Together, we break down the timeline of Celeste’s disappearance, the immediate social media reaction, and the public narrative that formed long before law enforcement provided clarity. We explore why no arrest has been made to date, the legal significance of intent and knowledge, and how being connected to a tragedy is not the same as being criminally responsible for it.This episode asks the question circulating everywhere: Is law enforcement quietly building a case behind the scenes— or is the public filling in gaps that the evidence has not yet confirmed?Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez02:17 Legal Advice for the Accused: The Importance of Representation08:50 The Investigation: Unpacking the Circumstances of Celeste's Death14:37 Public Perception and Media Influence on the Case20:32 The Role of Evidence: Surveillance and Relationships26:01 Seeking Justice: The Ethical Responsibility in True Crime Reporting28:56 The Role of Forensic Psychologists in Trials36:13 Understanding Sentencing and Parole Evaluations40:52 The Impact of Childhood Trauma on Behavior45:52 The Importance of Psychological Evaluations in Juvenile Cases51:35 Navigating the Prison System and Cold Cases#drdanaanderson #killerpsychologist #williamanoguera #deadbodysociety #serialkiller #deathrow #truecrime #americanmonster #monstersamongus #sanquentin #Unmaskingmonsters #truecrimestory #prisonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/killer-psychologist--6020549/support.Book a forensic psychologist for your next legal case at www.psychologydr.com.Disclaimer: This podcast discusses real criminal cases involving trauma, violence, and psychological analysis for educational puposes only.
