Investigators find ‘sadistic’ items in D4vd’s Los Angeles home after Celeste Rivas’s death

Investigators found “sadistic” items in D4vd’s LA home after a teen’s body was discovered in his Tesla

A private investigator has revealed disturbing details about what was allegedly discovered inside singer D4vd’s Los Angeles rental home, following the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found in his Tesla earlier this year.

According to investigator Stephen Fischer, several “sadistic” items were uncovered during a search of the property, which D4vd abruptly vacated shortly after Rivas was found dead on September 8, 2025.

Fischer described the materials as “grim” and “disturbing,” adding, “They are things you could use to get rid of a person if you wanted to.”

Authorities confirmed that D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, and Rivas were in a relationship. The artist, best known for Here With Me and Romantic Homicide, has not been charged, and police continue to treat the case as a death investigation, not a homicide.

The Hollywood home, rented for roughly $20,000 a month, was located just two blocks from where the Tesla was parked before being towed.

Property owner Mladen Trifunovic said he was unaware the singer himself was staying there and later hired a private investigator after the police search.

Rivas had been missing since April 2024 and was last seen alive in January 2025. Authorities believe her body may have been in the vehicle for several weeks before being discovered.

D4vd continued performing on his Withered World Tour until September 19, when he abruptly canceled the remaining shows.

Police have not ruled out further developments, as investigators continue to examine the timeline and the “sadistic” items reportedly found inside the artist’s former residence.
