The ongoing investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas has resurfaced an old social media post by musician D4vd (David Anthony Burke), sparking renewed online speculation.
The tweet, dated May 10, 2022, mentions someone wanting to be with their mother and sister again and references circumstances preventing an ideal situation, which some users have interpreted as hinting at a possible pregnancy. Authorities have not verified these claims.

Celeste Rivas, who went missing in 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California, was found on September 8, 2025, inside an abandoned Tesla after police responded to reports of a foul odor.
Her partially decomposed body was identified with the help of a distinctive “Shh…” tattoo on her leg and confirmed via missing persons reports filed with Riverside County and later referenced by LAPD authorities.
While the resurfaced tweet has caused widespread outrage online, it offers no direct evidence about Rivas’s personal situation or any pregnancy.
Social media users have expressed anger, with some accusing D4vd of grooming and manipulation. Comments range from expressions of disbelief and disgust to condemnation of the alleged exploitation of a minor.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rivas’s death.
