Celeste Rivas Hernandez was a teenager from Lake Elsinore, California, known primarily due to the tragic circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death. She was born around 2010 and first went missing on April 4, 2024, at the age of 13. Over the course of the next year, she was reported missing multiple times. Her family and local authorities actively searched for her, with her unique "Shh…" tattoo on her right index finger helping confirm her identity after her body was found[2][4].
Celeste gained some recognition as an actress, credited for a role in the 2024 music video *ROLE MODEL - Look at That Woman* according to IMDb, though her acting career was limited and not widely documented[5].
Her death was publicly revealed in September 2025 when her decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla owned by David Anthony Burke, professionally known as D4vd, a 20-year-old singer and songwriter who had risen to fame on platforms like TikTok. Burke and Rivas reportedly met online, and had a close relationship, with reports indicating they lived together at times. The circumstances of her death remain unclear, with authorities still awaiting toxicology and autopsy results. The Los Angeles Police Department has stated there is no confirmed suspect or clear cause of death beyond the concealment of her body[1][3][4].
Her passing deeply affected her community and family, who had hoped for her safe return. A private funeral was held on October 6, 2025, followed by her burial in Rowland Heights, California[1]. The case has attracted significant media attention due to the unresolved questions surrounding her death and her connection to a rising music artist.
