Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / LAPD Source Reportedly Says D4vd Did Not Act Alone | Murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez
Transcript
- 0:01The Los Angeles County Court has ordered the medical examiner's
- 0:05office to seal everything having to do with the Celeste Rivas
- 0:10death investigation, and the medical examiner is not happy
- 0:15about it. We're going to look into that.
- 0:17And a couple other breaking pieces of news over the last
- 0:21couple of days in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case.
- 0:23Stick with me. This video contains mature
- 0:38themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 0:42Viewer discretion is advised. Hello there my friend, welcome
- 0:47back to another true crime conversation here on my channel.
- 0:52My name is Gavin and on this channel we like to cut through
- 0:54the fluff and sensationalism of true crime.
- 0:57We like to get into the nitty gritty and if that's your kind
- 1:01of thing, then you found the right place and I'm glad you
- 1:03have. Hopefully you will stick around.
- 1:05Tonight we are talking about the case of 14 year old Celeste
- 1:12Rivas Hernandez, who was kind of a serial runaway from the Lake
- 1:18Elsinore area in Southern California.
- 1:22And her now we've discovered not only dismembered but decapitated
- 1:28and frozen body was found in the trunk of a Tesla Model X
- 1:36connected to this man. David Burke goes by the stage
- 1:39name David, curiously spelled D4.
- 1:43VD. I'm too old to really understand
- 1:46that, though I do come from a time where Prince penned the
- 1:50song Nothing Compares to You and use the number 2 that I think
- 1:55that you shouldn't do that. I think we should follow we
- 1:59should follow Weird AL's advice and don't spell letters with
- 2:05numbers unless you're 7 or your Prince.
- 2:08But either way, that's what David has done and we're going
- 2:12to get into that before we do. Hey, real quick on the live chat
- 2:18and actually in if you're a if you're on the rewatch crew in
- 2:23the regular old chat, tell me where you're tuning in from.
- 2:25I'd love to hear where you guys are from.
- 2:29Love to I don't know, I just I like it.
- 2:31I'm I'm an international man and like like knowing where people
- 2:35are from. Use GF in your comment to to get
- 2:39my attention to anything during the live stream that you might
- 2:42want me to address any questions or comments that you want me to
- 2:46that you want me to see. OK, couple things.
- 2:48Before we really get into Celeste case, I just want to
- 2:51make just reiterate a couple of announcements #1A week from
- 2:56today, which will be Monday, December 1st, we are going to be
- 3:00changing our normal time from 7:30 PM Eastern to 6:00 PM
- 3:05Eastern. And I, I've announced this
- 3:08before, but I'm going to continue to announce it.
- 3:11That's going to, that's going to do a couple things.
- 3:13Number one, it's going to help me be able to be engaged with my
- 3:16family during kind of our night time, getting everybody ready
- 3:19for bed rituals. And it's going to make me a more
- 3:23present father, which I'm I'm really excited for #2 according
- 3:30to my analytics, that seems to be where when most of my viewers
- 3:34are online anyway. And I think the third reason is
- 3:38Causeway 2 very good friends of the show, Josh over at Courtroom
- 3:42Confidential and Joel over at Surviving the Survivor.
- 3:46They have shows Joel's at 7:00 PM Eastern and Josh is at 8:00
- 3:50PM Eastern night. And according to my analytics,
- 3:53my audience watches both of those channels as well.
- 3:55So I don't want you to have to decide and just go Gavin to Joel
- 3:59to Josh and and it'll be an amazing night of it.
- 4:04It'll be like, it'll be like programming.
- 4:06It's like network TV programming.
- 4:10So hopefully that will that will go over better than a pregnant
- 4:15pole vaulter and we will all just kind of slide and ease on
- 4:19into our 6:00 PM slot. I just realized I have not put
- 4:24my phone on do not disturb. Let's do that right now.
- 4:27OK, Before we get too deeply and really dive deep into the
- 4:33Celeste Rivas Hernandez case, we are going to take a look at some
- 4:38headlines. Here we go.
- 4:47True crime. Headlines pow All right, guys,
- 4:52for true crime headlines, what I wanted to do tonight is just
- 4:54check in on several of the cases that we have our eye on.
- 4:58I think later on this week we will do more deep dives into
- 5:01those cases, but let's start, shall we, with Anna Kepner.
- 5:06This article from WFTV. Anna Kepner death on Carnival
- 5:10Cruise ruled homicide according to her death certificate This
- 5:15just came out today. Brevard County, Florida The
- 5:18death of 18 year old Anna Kepner on a Carnival cruise has been
- 5:21ruled A homicide according to a death certificate issued today.
- 5:24The certificate provided to ABC News by Anna's family states
- 5:29that her death was caused by mechanical asphyxiation.
- 5:33And then I'm on the wrong one. Sorry.
- 5:38And then in parentheses it says suffocation.
- 5:43So mechanical asphyxiation. Mechanical.
- 5:48No, we talked about suffocation before.
- 5:52I'm curious the difference. I guess they're calling, oh,
- 5:55it's not asphyxiation, it's mechanical asphyxia.
- 5:59Suffocation on. OK, I read that wrong.
- 6:02November 6th. The document specifies that the
- 6:05Anna Kepner was mechanically asphyxiated by other persons as
- 6:11in parentheses, although the time of injury remains unknown.
- 6:15Autopsy and toxicology reports have not been released, and the
- 6:19Miami-Dade medical Examiner declines to comment on Monday.
- 6:22The FBI has not commented. Did not respond to an ABC
- 6:26request for comment regarding the investigation into Anna's
- 6:29death. So that's what we know.
- 6:31We had heard it, it had leaked out that it looked like it was
- 6:36going to be suffocation and that is now official.
- 6:42In the case of Anna Kepner, let's I have a couple of photos
- 6:46of Anna, 18 year old Titusville, FL girl, and it looks like, as
- 6:53we've said here on the channel before, looks like it's her
- 6:58stepbrother who is a suspect in this case.
- 7:03So that's headline number one. Now let's head on over to #2
- 7:09this one from Bayshore Broadcasting up in Canada.
- 7:13This is from the 19th, but I found it interesting because I'm
- 7:16always looking For more information on the Jack and Lily
- 7:19Sullivan case. I do know that their stepdad
- 7:23Dan, Where are the Sullivans? Let me find my little button.
- 7:28Not Dan. David Martel has done a podcast
- 7:32interview that I watched a brief clip of which I might get into
- 7:38later on this week. But anyway, getting back to the
- 7:42headline. Local group looks for missing
- 7:44Jack and Lily Sullivan in Nova Scotia.
- 7:47A local group that looks for missing people.
- 7:49Join the search for Jack and Lily Sullivan this past weekend
- 7:52in Nova Scotia. 6 year old Lily, five year old Jack Sullivan went
- 7:55missing in the Lansdowne area of Nova Scotia, Lansdowne station I
- 7:59think in May Large scale Royal Canadian Mounted Police
- 8:03investigation has been underway since and the case has captured
- 8:07the nation's attention. Also, the attention of the
- 8:11nation to their South and the world.
- 8:15Please bring me home. Executive Director Nick Oldrieve
- 8:19says his group made the trip on the weekend after a donation
- 8:22from Barry Krusselbrink of Barry's Construction to look for
- 8:26Jack and Lily at the request of family members, Oldrieve notes.
- 8:29The search would not have been possible without the donation,
- 8:33Oldrieve says. And I'm probably butchering his
- 8:36name for that, I apologize. His group was already planning
- 8:39to organize an arm's length search in Nova Scotia for Jesse
- 8:43Morrissey, 26 year old man who went missing in 2022.
- 8:46Adding quote. Once we spoke to Jack and Lily
- 8:49Sullivan's family and you could just feel the anxiety that
- 8:52winter was coming and no searches were happening and the
- 8:55belief that they were still in the woods.
- 8:57The RCMP is stating that it is not criminal in nature, says
- 9:01Eldrief, who says the going theory is the kids wandered off
- 9:05the property. And you can continue reading
- 9:08that at Bayshore Broadcasting. So, yeah, it doesn't just
- 9:13doesn't look good for the Jack and Lily Sullivan case.
- 9:16I, I want to believe, and this is horrible, but I want to
- 9:20believe there's something criminal in nature that they
- 9:21might be alive somewhere that somebody has them, which is
- 9:26just, I mean, I don't want that for the children, but it, it
- 9:30seems like a better, a better option than them just having
- 9:37wandered off and died in the woods, which just, I don't know,
- 9:42that's just heartbreaking to me. But that's where we are.
- 9:45Hey, do you remember the case? We covered it here on the
- 9:50channel of Isaiah Joseph Dionne, A4 year old little boy who died
- 9:57in South Carolina and seems to be at the hand of his stepfather
- 10:04who was a South Carolina State Trooper.
- 10:08There's an update on this from several weeks ago that we
- 10:11haven't brought to the channel. I just wanted to bring it up
- 10:13real quick. That bond has been denied for
- 10:16the former trooper, Oconee County, South Carolina.
- 10:19Dateline, a former South Carolina trooper who was
- 10:23arrested in the death of four year old boy, requested bond
- 10:26during a hearing on Thursday, which would have been November
- 10:295th. Joshua Latimer and Destiny Dion
- 10:32were charged with homicide by CA in September after EMS was
- 10:36called to a home near Walhalla for a patient in cardiac arrest.
- 10:394 year old boy Isaiah Joseph Dion was found called to the
- 10:44touch. The coroner said Isaiah was
- 10:45malnourished and ruled his death a homicide.
- 10:50And yeah, we, we went over that. But blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 10:54blah. Vladimir.
- 10:56Vladimir has been in jail without bond since his arrest in
- 10:59September. A judge denied his motion for
- 11:01bond again Thursday's hearing. Dionne, the mom, her motion for
- 11:07bond was denied as well. So they remain in jail and there
- 11:10hasn't been an update since on that.
- 11:15Do you guys remember? Oh, this little Rebecca.
- 11:19Let me find Rebecca's little. Where is Rebecca?
- 11:25Where are you, Rebecca? On my little buttons.
- 11:30Why am I not Rebecca Baptiste? Here she is.
- 11:33Do you guys remember a little Rebecca Baptiste?
- 11:3810 years old, same kind of. Just look at that beautiful
- 11:42little child. Oh, my goodness.
- 11:46OK, an update. This came out a couple days ago.
- 11:49Four days ago. Arizona DCS director promises
- 11:52changes to agency after girls murder Dateline Phoenix This
- 11:57comes from arizonafamily.com The Arizona Department of Child
- 12:01Safety is implementing reforms following the murders of three
- 12:05children known to the system this year, including 10 year old
- 12:08Rebecca Baptiste. DCS director Katie Tack, who
- 12:12took the position in January, said in an exclusive interview
- 12:15with Arizona's Family Investigates that a review of
- 12:18Baptiste's case identified systemic factors that
- 12:21contributed to challenges in the department's decision making and
- 12:24case management. That is so written that is just,
- 12:29doesn't that not sound like it was written by a director of a
- 12:32government agency? Systemic factors that
- 12:36contributed to challenges in the department's decision making and
- 12:39case management. I'm not feeling all that
- 12:42confident the changes are going to be good.
- 12:44But real quick reminder, Baptiste was found with severe
- 12:47injuries and unresponsive in Holbrook.
- 12:50This was August 20th if I remember correctly.
- 12:54Her dad is Richard Baptiste. And then I think stepmom is a
- 13:00niece of Woods, if you guys remember this.
- 13:06So she was found unresponsive July 27th.
- 13:09She died three days later. Yeah.
- 13:12So I've got the wrong date there.
- 13:14Doctors said she was tortured. Police body camera video
- 13:18captured her father and his girlfriend, Annie C Woods,
- 13:21telling officers about the incident.
- 13:23Anyway, they're saying that there are systemic issues.
- 13:25Systemic factors where they're high turnover, low pay, intense
- 13:31caseloads and overwhelmed supervisors were also noted as
- 13:34factors. And it always does seem to boil
- 13:36down to money. And I, I don't know if I believe
- 13:38that every single time, but it always seems to.
- 13:42So that's the update there on Rebecca's case.
- 13:46Last little headline coming from Crime Cod written by Kate Byrd.
- 13:50FBI offers 15,000,000 for fugitive Olympian accused of
- 13:54drug Lord murders Dateline, Washington, DC U.S.
- 13:59Federal authorities announced that Ryan James Wedding, a
- 14:01former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, has been indicted
- 14:04on murder and money laundering charges.
- 14:07The FBI is offering a $15 million reward for information
- 14:12leading to Weddings capture. He was added to the bureau's 10
- 14:16Most Wanted Fugitives list in March.
- 14:19Wedding, 44, is accused of running one of the most prolific
- 14:22and violent drug organizations, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
- 14:26She described him as Canada's largest distributor of cocaine,
- 14:30importing 60 metric tons annually from Mexico to the
- 14:33United States. They said his criminal network
- 14:39was extensive and violent. Before his alleged involvement
- 14:43in drug trafficking, he competed in the men's parallel giant
- 14:46slalom at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT,
- 14:50finishing 24th. So there is our last headline
- 14:56and let us go ahead and move on. True.
- 15:05Crime. Headlines pow.
- 15:09OK guys, tonight we are covering the case of Celeste Rivas
- 15:13Hernandez. I I've got several notes here.
- 15:18I want to start I, I think I'm going to go backwards in time
- 15:22here. Actually before I do before I do
- 15:25just to clean the pallet just a little bit.
- 15:28See what you guys are saying over here on on the live chat.
- 15:35What do we got? We got Colorado in the house.
- 15:39We got more from Colorado. We got Seattle, WA, we got
- 15:42Hildebrand, North Carolina tuning in from Roseville, CA,
- 15:47oh, on the I-80 corridor. Glorious Roseville.
- 15:53As you know, I am a Orangevale kid.
- 15:56I now live in western PA. But Roseville, my old stomping
- 16:02grounds. My old stomping grounds.
- 16:05In fact. I mean, I don't want to give it
- 16:08away, but when I did the Quantum Mixtape interview, that was not
- 16:11aboard A Starship traveling throughout the Galaxy.
- 16:14It was, it was an old Roseville, which is pretty fun.
- 16:18Toronto, Colorado. Again in the house.
- 16:20Massachusetts. San Diego, Lexington, KY Norton,
- 16:24VA, South Alabama, Palm Harbor, FL Los Angeles.
- 16:30Well, Los Angeles is where this case is coming from, so I'm glad
- 16:33you're here. British Columbia, El Segundo,
- 16:37which everybody seems to say El Segundo.
- 16:39I just can't bring myself to do it.
- 16:41Twin Cities. We've got Cottage Grove,
- 16:44Buffalo, NY closer to me these days, Suffolk, VA.
- 16:49You guys are all over the place. So thank you very much for
- 16:51tuning in Las Vegas, we got Lincoln, NE.
- 16:56Who do you suspect the second to be the second person?
- 16:59Well, we've got got a little we've what I believe I, I don't
- 17:05know who the second person is, but one of the things that
- 17:09hadn't occurred to me is this is a Tesla.
- 17:12Everything is recorded there. Cameras everywhere on that car.
- 17:16So I'm sure police know. Yeah.
- 17:21Redondo Beach. Oh, I think Redondo is from El
- 17:24Segundo, right? And then, yeah, that article did
- 17:28say Jack was 5, but I think Jack was only four.
- 17:30I think you're correct. Annie Ruler, 69 Remember the
- 17:38show a few months back Work A local station admitted Mom had
- 17:41been on a rented ATV the night before where the remnant of her
- 17:45blanket was laid in the tree. I do not remember that.
- 17:49I do not wow. And Mel's like.
- 17:56As a Canadian, I can assure you that we only learn the facts in
- 17:59dribs and drabs and those are it is hard, it is hard.
- 18:03We got Brisbane in the House, we got Washington, we got Nevada,
- 18:09Vancouver. Awesome.
- 18:11Thanks guys. Thanks for letting me know.
- 18:12We're going to go ahead and move on and get into this case
- 18:15because I know that's why you are here.
- 18:17OK. I want to start out with a
- 18:19statement from the medical Examiner's office.
- 18:21Let me bring this up. We will bring this.
- 18:26So this is a statement just from today.
- 18:31A lot of media outlets have been reporting on this.
- 18:34I thought that I would just go right to the horse's mouth, cut
- 18:36through the the fluff. So November 24th at 10:54 AM on
- 18:44Friday, November 21st, the County of Los Angeles Department
- 18:47of Medical Examiner, the department received a court
- 18:50order initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department, the
- 18:53LAPD to place a security hold on Medical Examiner case number
- 18:58202514252, Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- 19:03No records or details associated with the case, including the
- 19:06cause and manner of death and medical examiner report can be
- 19:10released or posted on the website until further notice.
- 19:15And we reported on this on Friday when it became
- 19:23unsearchable. You could not find the case by
- 19:25searching the case number or or the name.
- 19:28OK quote. The department's mission is to
- 19:30have full transparency with the community by providing
- 19:33information about our cases to empower people to make changes
- 19:36that save lives, said Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ode Akpo,
- 19:41continuing the quote. Since becoming the department
- 19:43head, I've worked on eradicating the practice of placing security
- 19:47holds on medical examiner cases simply by law enforcement
- 19:50request. The practice of security holds
- 19:53is virtually unheard of in other counties and has not been proven
- 19:57to improve outcomes in the legal system.
- 19:59We are dedicated to serving our community with full
- 20:01transparency. However, the law precludes us
- 20:05from doing so while the court order remains in this case.
- 20:08Close quote. The Department previously
- 20:12received a request for a security hold from the LAPD on
- 20:15this case on September 15th, which was denied due to
- 20:18insufficient justification to warrant the hold.
- 20:21The Department understands the public's interest in this case
- 20:24and remains committed to transparency when possible.
- 20:26Information will be made available once the court order
- 20:29is lifted. And then for questions about the
- 20:31court order timeline and the law enforcement investigation into
- 20:34this death, please contact the LAPD.
- 20:37Basically saying, hey, leave me alone.
- 20:40I don't want to do this. I want to give you the
- 20:43information. I want to release the cause and
- 20:45manner of death. I want to release all the
- 20:47information, but the court is not letting me do that.
- 20:50So that brings me over to a report from TMZ, which, you
- 20:57know, I know that TMZ guys, I know that TMZ is really kind of
- 21:04a a tabloid celebrity news, kind of a kind of a publication.
- 21:10I get it, I get it. It's not like New York Times
- 21:13here or, you know, LA Times or whatever.
- 21:17However, I've been watching their coverage of this and I
- 21:20think they've been doing a good job.
- 21:24So until they prove to me that they're not, I, I actually think
- 21:29that they are probably the ones with with one of the ones with
- 21:34the best information on the street.
- 21:35So this is a report from the 22nd.
- 21:39This would be Saturday. Celeste Rivas's body was
- 21:43discovered frozen, cause of death likely and determined.
- 21:47OK, Celeste Rivas's body had been frozen.
- 21:51And as a result, it looks the LA County Medical examiner will not
- 21:54be able to establish A cause of death.
- 21:57Sources directly connected to the investigation tell TMZ.
- 22:01Let's talk about unnamed sources.
- 22:03I hate unnamed sources, especially if it's one source.
- 22:09However, it has been commonplace in in media here in the United
- 22:13States now for 40 years to use unnamed sources.
- 22:18And it boils down to whether I believe, whether you believe the
- 22:24media outlet, if these sources are legit, I am of the belief
- 22:30that they are. I think that I, I think that
- 22:35they probably got an inside source here, which is what
- 22:38journalists are supposed to do. It's a good thing, OK?
- 22:41According to those sources, continues the article.
- 22:43The medical examiner received the body in horrendous
- 22:45condition. It was decapitated and while the
- 22:49torso was intact, the limbs had been removed and cut into
- 22:53multiple pieces, which takes, I mean, it takes a lot of
- 23:01intestinal fortitude, I would imagine, to do something like
- 23:04that. We're told all of the body parts
- 23:08were partially frozen and had apparently been thawing out
- 23:12while sitting in the trunk of David's Tesla.
- 23:15Remember, David's vehicle had not been moved for several days
- 23:18when it was parked in a Hollywood Hills street near his
- 23:21rental home, which resulted in it getting towed and then the
- 23:24body being found. As TMZ reported, Celeste's body
- 23:28was in such bad shape, initially, investigators did not
- 23:32know if it was male or female. When the body was received by
- 23:37the Emmy's office, the initial determination was this was a
- 23:40victim of an apparent homicide. But our sources say the Emmy is
- 23:44now having trouble establishing an official manner or cause of
- 23:48death. And quote it will be, it will
- 23:51most likely be undetermined. Hey, let's see, let me finish
- 23:56the article and then I, I have some thoughts on frozen bodies,
- 24:01OK? Other sources connected to the
- 24:03investigation tell TMZ the LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division
- 24:07is reviewing Celeste's death as a homicide.
- 24:10And even if the official cause of death is undetermined,
- 24:12authorities can move forward with an arrest.
- 24:14Yes, they can. TMZ broke the story.
- 24:17David is now considered a suspect in Celeste's death.
- 24:20What's more, TMZ has learned there's a second suspect who
- 24:23authorities believe help David in the dismemberment of Celeste
- 24:26Spotty. Remember Tesla's record
- 24:34everything, guys. There are front facing cameras.
- 24:38There are rear facing cameras. There are rear side facing
- 24:41cameras. Talk about just the dumbest
- 24:44criminal to choose that place to hide A body.
- 24:51And it's recorded. It is recorded.
- 24:56And my imagination is just going what like I hadn't even thought
- 25:00of this when we lived back in California and I worked for LH
- 25:04labs. I drove a Tesla Model S Yeah.
- 25:07And it it was that one was pre self driving.
- 25:13But the, the technology on that thing, it yeah, the, it didn't
- 25:20occur to me that not only would the LAPD be able to issue
- 25:24warrants to cell phone companies and, you know, like security
- 25:32camera footage and stuff like that, but directly to Tesla,
- 25:36they, they may not have even had to download it off of the car.
- 25:41They may have been able to get it directly from Tesla
- 25:44corporate. So yeah, let me continue with
- 25:49this. Mark Geragos appeared on the
- 25:51most recent 2 Angry Men podcast and said he knows the name of
- 25:55the second suspect, and authorities have told him this
- 25:58person might be involved before, during and after Celeste's
- 26:03death. We're going to watch a clip of
- 26:05that, OK? TMZ also broke the story.
- 26:08A critical part of the case involves a trip investigators
- 26:11say David took to a remote area of Santa Barbara County in the
- 26:16middle of the night back in the spring, where he spent two
- 26:18hours. Now, if I remember my California
- 26:21geography, which I really don't, I believe Santa Barbara is north
- 26:27of the LA basin on the coast. Let me let me just go to maps,
- 26:37real quick maps. So yes, OK Oh yeah, barely.
- 26:48N so let me bring it up over here.
- 26:51So the Los Angeles area is down here.
- 26:53We're going to zoom up. Santa Barbara is along the coast
- 26:57north of north of Los Angeles, by the way.
- 27:03By the way, guys, if you ever just want to visit maybe the
- 27:09most picturesque place on earth, it's got to be the slow area.
- 27:14San Luis Obispo. They they say San Luis Obispo
- 27:16there, San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay.
- 27:20Oh, my goodness, it's beautiful. Santa Barbara, I think, is a
- 27:23close second. It's just, yeah, beautiful,
- 27:28beautiful. But apparently, they took a trip
- 27:33up to Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night back in
- 27:36the spring. And they believe, according to
- 27:39reports before Celeste was murdered in the spring and she
- 27:43has been frozen ever since. Now, before we get to let's see
- 27:47there, there's a little bit more, little bit more.
- 27:51Let's see if Celeste's body was taken to that area months before
- 27:54is discovered in LA. It seems the operating theory is
- 27:56the body parts were put in some sort of freezer for a long time
- 28:00before it ended up in David's Tesla in the late summer.
- 28:03Yeah. OK, Let me before we watch that
- 28:05clip, let me talk about the frozen body, OK?
- 28:12You guys may remember that I have covered at length a case
- 28:18so, so egregious that it is stuck with me for a long, long
- 28:25time. And that is the case of Amanda
- 28:27Lynn Winkowski. If you join me over on my
- 28:29website, Amanda was killed back in 2008.
- 28:33OK, and this is the first did I? I didn't push the right button.
- 28:38There we go. Amanda went missing in December
- 28:41of 2008, and her body was not found until the first well into
- 28:45the second week of January 2009. She was frozen solid, discarded
- 28:50into an outdoor trash can. She was naked.
- 28:53She was upside down. It it's a horrible, horrible
- 28:55story. However, I learned a lot on that
- 29:01story. I've become close with her
- 29:02family, her sister, her mother, her brothers, several people
- 29:07around that story. It's just such an egregious
- 29:09story. Check it out.
- 29:10If you if you haven't seen my coverage of this yet, this is
- 29:13way back in the day and there's so many case documents on it, so
- 29:16many news stories. But being that Celeste's body
- 29:23was frozen may give the medical examiner more ability and a
- 29:29greater chance of success with toxicology.
- 29:33Because in the TMZ article, it says that her body was still
- 29:39partially frozen, that we thaw from the outside in, right?
- 29:44So there might still be urine analysis, urine that was frozen,
- 29:49blood that was frozen, bile that was frozen.
- 29:53There could, there could be all sorts of like cardiac blood that
- 29:59was frozen, femoral blood that may have still been frozen.
- 30:04So we, we may, because of this, they may, I should say the
- 30:14medical examiner's office and investigators, they may have a
- 30:17chance at getting good toxicology on this, which I
- 30:21think I, I don't think that I, I just don't think that there was
- 30:25an overdose here. I really, I call it a hunch.
- 30:28I just, you don't hide an overdose by chopping somebody up
- 30:32into bits and, and freezing them for months.
- 30:37You don't do that, right? Who does that?
- 30:39I mean, stupid people do. And it's possible that it's
- 30:42possible, but I don't think it's probable.
- 30:44I think it's more probable that there was an actual murder, like
- 30:50a murder murder, not an overdose murderer, a hands on murder and
- 31:00proving that there was no overdose I think would go a long
- 31:03way in the investigation. OK, so that's just my thought
- 31:07about it, but let's let me take you over to I didn't get a
- 31:14button ready. That's this.
- 31:16OK, This is about a 6 minute clip from the 2 Angry Men
- 31:21podcast. Mark Geragos is the Gray haired
- 31:26man with a blue background. And then what's his name from
- 31:30TMZ? Why can't I remember his name?
- 31:35I can't, I'm blanking. It doesn't matter, but Mark
- 31:38Geragos is a long time Los Angeles County attorney.
- 31:43He is an attorney to the stars. He is a defense attorney.
- 31:47His list of clients is long. He's highly paid, He's highly
- 31:50connected. And that's the thing right now,
- 31:54TMZ, while being tabloidish in nature, they have proven
- 32:00themselves to be pretty darn good investigators too.
- 32:02So I just clipped about 6 minutes out of the 2 Angry Men
- 32:07podcast. You can get this on TMZ.com, but
- 32:11let's have a listen to what they're talking about.
- 32:16Let me tell you what what we know, because it aligns with
- 32:19what you just said, that in the spring David took a trip to a
- 32:25very remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of
- 32:28the night and spent several hours there.
- 32:32We have also been told, yes, there was another suspect, but
- 32:37the suspect is. Sorry, it's Harvey Levin or
- 32:41Levin, right? That's that's who is speaking
- 32:44here. Is somebody they believe helped
- 32:46him dismember the body because what we were told by multiple
- 32:52sources is they believe that more than one person dismembered
- 32:57the body now I don't think they can conclude that just by
- 33:00looking at it I mean look Jeffrey Dahmer dismembered a
- 33:03body completely and he did it alone so there's some reason
- 33:06they're saying he had help and it's not just the way the body
- 33:10was cut up so here's my theory and and and I've got a little
- 33:15bit of evidence on this too but my theory is that that they may
- 33:21have done this in Santa Barbara County and the reason there may
- 33:26be another suspect is that yes there was cell phone there was
- 33:32there cell phone data but I think more important there might
- 33:35be Tesla video. Remember, Tesla has cameras on
- 33:39the car and the LAPD, we're told has gained access to that data
- 33:45and pot and and clearly that video.
- 33:48What if there is video of not just David in the car, but a
- 33:54second person in the car? And then the question, do they
- 34:00have any evidence the body was possibly dismembered there?
- 34:05I'm going to tell you something and I cannot be more specific,
- 34:09but there was an offhanded comment made to me by somebody.
- 34:17Let me address this question by Garth B Nutt.
- 34:20OK, so I don't want to overstate, I just don't want to
- 34:26overstate any connection that I have to Tesla.
- 34:29I have no inside knowledge. I I have very little inside
- 34:37knowledge of Tesla. Very little.
- 34:39OK, but here's the thing. Part of the user agreement of
- 34:45driving a Tesla is that you share data back to Tesla.
- 34:50So can a user can an operator disable cameras?
- 34:56It's possible that the interface might be able to disable cameras
- 35:01maybe, but I don't think it actually does because those
- 35:05cameras are part of the sensing system in in the self driving
- 35:10features. It's it's part of it.
- 35:13And so all of that has to be processed.
- 35:16Some of it is processed on actually in real time.
- 35:21It's processed on board the Tesla, but then I believe it's
- 35:26all uploaded to Tesla for analysis later on.
- 35:30So even if they disabled it, I still think that there is a
- 35:34recording out of that Tesla. Connected to all of this about
- 35:39possibly hiding the body there and just the words hiding the
- 35:44body and it was supposed kind of as a hypothetical, but it's
- 35:48somebody with some knowledge. And So what I'm thinking is that
- 35:54I don't think they took Celeste to Santa Barbara County and
- 35:58killed her. If that's indeed what happened
- 36:00to Celeste, whatever happened probably happened somewhere
- 36:04else, maybe in LA, and that the body was taken to Santa Barbara
- 36:09County and maybe the body was dismembered there.
- 36:12And now what I can't answer is how does it then end up in his
- 36:15trunk? And that I can't figure out back
- 36:18in Los Angeles. But that Santa Barbara trip is
- 36:23the key to this case. Mark, I'm telling you, I've been
- 36:27on the phone personally on this one, and that Santa Barbara trip
- 36:31is the key. Yeah.
- 36:33And by the way, the the whiplash that I've talked about in terms
- 36:39of the reporting on this as well, that whiplash also had to
- 36:44do with at first they weren't even sure that it was
- 36:48dismembered because of the degradation.
- 36:53And so that took a little while, which was another reason they
- 36:56were being so kind of tight and close to the vest, so to speak.
- 37:01But it wasn't just, I'm told it was not just the trip itself, it
- 37:09was the confirmation of the social media.
- 37:14And for those who think that, and I know I've, I've heard
- 37:18people talk about this and, and people who are frequently on
- 37:23social media, they think that the phone is the only thing that
- 37:27is tracking you. But when you post that, whether
- 37:31it's posting on the phone or anything else, the use of the
- 37:34social media platform itself is basically something that is
- 37:40utilized as well that can determine your location.
- 37:45And so if you've got that, you've got your phone, you've
- 37:48got a time when you post some kind of a social media story, if
- 37:56you will. All of these things have now
- 37:59been utilized and is one of the reasons it's taken so long
- 38:02because search warrants have been executed on a number of
- 38:06these platforms or providers and.
- 38:09Yeah, this is this is a very good and like again, this is
- 38:13coming from a criminal defense attorney, right.
- 38:15With seriously ACV, as long as my arm, I've got long arms.
- 38:21I wish they were longer, but I mean, this guy has so much
- 38:24experience, the digital forensics on this that the LAPD
- 38:29I'm sure has access to from so many warrants they've obtained,
- 38:34including the car, including the phones, including any social
- 38:37media, anything that they did. I think they've got so much
- 38:42digital evidence that it's going to be overwhelming when it comes
- 38:46to the prosecution. They were waiting to get back
- 38:49the information. They also have clearly have yet
- 38:54another person that is a target of this, not just the David, but
- 38:58they've got somebody else. And I haven't heard yet whether
- 39:02that person is talking or cooperating.
- 39:04But if it's anything like the feds, the first person in is the
- 39:08person who's going to try to talk or cut a deal.
- 39:11We need to talk about this. So my information is that the
- 39:16other suspect and or suspects has to do with dismembering the
- 39:22body. Is your information that this
- 39:25could actually have to do with her death?
- 39:29Yeah, and I've got a name, but I'm not going to put it out
- 39:31there. I've already been told the name
- 39:32as well. And a name of a of a suspect.
- 39:35Of a of a another person besides him.
- 39:38In connection with the death or the dismemberment.
- 39:41But they're not ruling anything out.
- 39:43I mean, everything is on the table.
- 39:45They, they have kept this wide open because they believe and
- 39:50they believed since the beginning, since the get go,
- 39:54that there was more than one person involved.
- 39:56Which by the way, you and I had talked about this way back when
- 40:00that it appeared that there had to be more people than just
- 40:06David who were involved at least or knew something that was going
- 40:11on. They still, that's still a
- 40:12working hypothesis. And I I know that they focused
- 40:16in at least secondarily and have not ruled anything out as to
- 40:21another person. All right, so, yeah, now the
- 40:26question from before is who do I think the other person is?
- 40:29I would have to. I don't even know David Shtick.
- 40:32I, I, I I don't know anything about him other than you had a
- 40:38house leased for him in the Hollywood Hills.
- 40:40He drove a Tesla Model X and there was a body found drunk.
- 40:44That's all I know about his shtick.
- 40:46So I have no idea who on his crew, who in his inner circle he
- 40:50would trust with the disposal of a body, assuming he did it, of
- 40:56course, is all alleged is all just suspected.
- 41:01Yeah, I've, I have no idea. Now there was one of the
- 41:03question that I think is a good question that I wanted to bring
- 41:07up from Meredith. If she was frozen, how was she
- 41:09so decomposed it in it that Meredith that has to do with the
- 41:16the fact that the body cools. It's a it's a heat transfer
- 41:21issue, right? So the body, I'm sorry, warms
- 41:24from the outside in. So what I'm saying is there they
- 41:28said that there were still frozen pieces.
- 41:31And I would imagine that that is in the core.
- 41:34The core of each piece may have still been frozen.
- 41:38So that means the bladder, that means the gallbladder, that
- 41:42means intestines, that means the liver.
- 41:47But at the same time, I mean, it obviously started to smell.
- 41:51So decomp was happening on the outer pieces or maybe maybe even
- 41:55on smaller pieces, right? Pieces that I mean, because I
- 42:00mean, I'm just theorizing here, but if it's all put together in
- 42:04like 1 big bundle, then you know, it will, it will act as
- 42:14has one big, you know, heat transfer.
- 42:17I don't, what's the word that I'm looking for one big unit of,
- 42:22of cold that needs to transfer heat.
- 42:24But if there are multiple bags, maybe there's something small
- 42:28like, and I'm sorry to I'm sorry about this because it does seem
- 42:31so disrespectful. And I mean no disrespect to our
- 42:33victim, but something small like fingers or hands or feet or
- 42:38something like that, that are by themselves, they could decomp,
- 42:43they could warm faster, they could start to decompose sooner,
- 42:50whereas the larger pieces might stay frozen.
- 42:53But that's all just complete conjecture.
- 42:56And again, I I mean no disrespect to to our victim here
- 43:02because she is a victim. Content Angel 2131 says Geragos
- 43:06knows the Santa Barbara system too because he repped Michael
- 43:09Jackson. That's right.
- 43:10Yeah, he was Michael Jackson's attorney.
- 43:16Content Angel. So your Tesla footage isn't just
- 43:18available to the driver. I thought it worked like DVR.
- 43:22So again, not tons of inside information here, but as a data
- 43:26analyst thinking about how I would design the system, no, I I
- 43:34would, I would make it so that footage is uploaded on the
- 43:38frequent anytime, anytime there's a good Internet
- 43:41connection. And I'm not sure if Tesla's are
- 43:44now on 5G or if they're still LTEI think they're 5G.
- 43:49So anytime they're charging, I would have it uploading if if I
- 43:55designed that system. So yeah, like, don't commit
- 44:00crime or out of Tesla. Don't do that.
- 44:03You know what? Here's an idea.
- 44:06Just don't commit crime. Just don't do that and be that
- 44:09that's what we should do. OK, so let me take you over to
- 44:14this next article, also from TMZ, this one from yesterday.
- 44:22Bring this up house David rented had freezer points of interest
- 44:28for cops. This is again TMZ singer.
- 44:31David, a suspect in the presumed homicide of Celeste Rivas, had a
- 44:35large a freezer large enough to store a body.
- 44:37A relevant fact since her body had apparently been frozen for
- 44:41months. I doubt that it would be in that
- 44:45freezer. And now listen, I want that
- 44:50kitchen. Oh my goodness, what have we
- 44:53got? We've got 4 ovens.
- 44:56We've got looks like, Oh my goodness, trash compactor,
- 45:02dishwasher, convection microwave, got ATV in there, got
- 45:06that amazing refrigerator, freezer.
- 45:09You know, our kitchen, our kitchen was remodeled.
- 45:13Our house was built in 19 O3 and our kitchen was remodeled in
- 45:17like 1996. So it's, it looks old, right?
- 45:20It's a 30 year old kitchen, but the previous owners did US the
- 45:26the service of putting 3 ovens in our kitchen.
- 45:31And you might ask yourself, why would anybody need 3 ovens?
- 45:35I'm telling you, it is the most amazing thing.
- 45:39Add in the pizza oven and we got 4 ovens man.
- 45:43We got 4 ovens and we've got Thanksgiving coming up.
- 45:46Dude. Dude, I'm.
- 45:49I love, I love our kitchen. You know what I love?
- 45:53I love this kitchen more, though.
- 45:54Grass is always greener, right? Gavin.
- 45:57Gavin. Gavin.
- 46:05Yeah, that's right. It was a tangent.
- 46:06It was a tangent. I apologize, but yeah, OK.
- 46:10I don't think that they would be storing Celeste in the kitchen
- 46:14freezer, but OK. Check out this photo of David's
- 46:19rental home. It was taken a few years ago and
- 46:20it shows a kitchen with a KitchenAid refrigerator freezer,
- 46:23the freezer site. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 46:25blah. OK.
- 46:27However, there, there's one other, there was one other that
- 46:33I wanted this right here, right? There's also a video that has
- 46:37surfaced on social media from September 4th, 2024, showing
- 46:41David in a house, not his rental, with an appliance box
- 46:44behind him. The box appears to be a
- 46:45convertible chest freezer with a removable storage basket has a
- 46:50capacity of 7 cubic feet. By the way, the last video of
- 46:53Celeste we've seen was September 2024.
- 46:57We don't know if this freezer has any connection to the case,
- 47:00but the timing is off. This is kind of pretty
- 47:03suspicious journalism. And here I am reading that.
- 47:07Remember, authorities say David went to a remote area of Santa
- 47:10Barbara County in spring 2025, and that's where they believe
- 47:13Celeste's body was dismembered. As we reported, authorities
- 47:18believe the body had been frozen for an extended period of time.
- 47:22So anyway, what is this? Honestly, please don't tell me
- 47:33what? OK.
- 47:36Anyway, anyway, I wanted to bring you that story.
- 47:39So that is the update that we have so far on Celeste Rivas
- 47:43Hernandez. Let me bring her photo up one
- 47:47more time and let's just go and check in on your comments, see
- 47:51if there's anything content. Angel 2131.
- 47:55Wow, what a great set of data. I knew none of this.
- 47:59Love how you put it all together.
- 48:00Thank you. If you think it's a murder,
- 48:03what's your theory on motive? OK, Meredith, great question.
- 48:07Great question. So as you know, and we talked to
- 48:13Josh Ritter about this just what last week, motive is not
- 48:18something that has to be proven in court.
- 48:19However, it is something that that really helps with juries.
- 48:25Juries love it. Juries love a motive.
- 48:28We all love a motive. And, and I was on with Vinny
- 48:30Politan. He asked me the same question
- 48:31about the motive. In which case were we talking?
- 48:35Katie Scott, right. I I think in the case of of
- 48:42Celeste, a couple of things #1 she was a 14 year old girl and
- 48:49she was starting to say things publicly, like David was R
- 48:56wording children, essaying children.
- 49:00We've seen the clip, right? It was definitely hers,
- 49:03definitely him. Was she becoming a little bit of
- 49:06a problem? Was she becoming a little more
- 49:09assertive? Maybe it was something that was
- 49:13done accidentally in the course of of essaying her again, 20
- 49:19years old, she was 14. Their relationship is suspicious
- 49:24and should be looked into for sure.
- 49:29So I guess the, I guess to answer your question, I don't
- 49:33know, but I, I suspect one of two things.
- 49:37One, she was becoming more of a problem, or two, it was done in
- 49:43the heat of passion. So, yeah, Matthew says Gavin,
- 49:49how old was Celeste? And would that have anything to
- 49:51do with her being murdered? Yeah, she was 14.
- 49:54She was 14 when she was murdered.
- 49:57She would have, I think she was found around her 15th birthday,
- 50:02maybe like a day or two after something like that.
- 50:04Somebody remind me, But she was 14 when she was murdered.
- 50:08David was 20 when they started their relationship.
- 50:12He was 18 and she was 12. Whatever that relationship was,
- 50:16it could have been innocent. I don't know.
- 50:18But yeah, that I think that has to do.
- 50:23I think that probably has a lot to do with her being murdered.
- 50:26Also, listen, I've said this a million times.
- 50:35What was the name of the little girl down in Houston?
- 50:37Jocelyn Nungary. Do you remember that story?
- 50:40Do you remember a little Jocelyn Nungary who snuck out?
- 50:47She snuck out of her Houston area apartment to go to the 711
- 50:53and she was never seen again. Two men, 2 I think.
- 50:57Venice Solanos, if I remember correctly, murdered her, right?
- 51:06She thought that she was perfectly safe just walking to
- 51:09the 711 and this little girl, beautiful little girl, right?
- 51:15So, so much. So much in her future that could
- 51:20have could. I mean, so much that could have
- 51:23been. I think had no idea how much
- 51:28violence a man can perpetrate. Can.
- 51:37Yeah, just. I just don't think that she
- 51:40understood because of her own youth and ignorance.
- 51:44What is that line from, let's see, from Cat Stevens?
- 51:54You're too young. That's your fault.
- 51:57There's so much you need to know, Right?
- 52:00Youth, inexperience and just absolute dill.
- 52:04No, they're not dill holes. They're just ignorant.
- 52:07And I'm talking like me. And when I was that age and our
- 52:11children and everybody I've ever known, they just don't
- 52:14understand. And, and young women, girls need
- 52:19to understand that there are predators out there that can do
- 52:23so much violence. So much violence.
- 52:27Yeah. Denise White 80550.
- 52:31We're running out of time, so this will be our last comment.
- 52:33And then we're going to get to 3 questions.
- 52:35Where is her family? Do they care?
- 52:37Yeah, she was a habitual runaway.
- 52:39It does seem like there were some family.
- 52:42She's a home there in Lake Elsinore, CA, kind of north of
- 52:46the LA basin, if I remember, again, my geography correctly.
- 52:49Thank you for that. Thank you for that question.
- 52:51All right, guys, it's time for three questions.
- 52:56It's 3 questions. Pow.
- 53:06OK guys, you know 3 questions. Three questions.
- 53:09This is the deal, OK, You can ask me any question you want.
- 53:14Nothing's off the table, as evidenced by like this the
- 53:18funniest sex question that we had last week, but nothing's off
- 53:25the table. But here are the rules.
- 53:27You can't ask me the questions in the live stream.
- 53:33If you got to e-mail it to me, 3 questions at
- 53:35gavinspitgavinfish.com spelled out THR EE questions at
- 53:40gavinfish.com. And as they come in, I, I will,
- 53:46you know, I will answer them. So where do we need to go?
- 53:49We need to go right over here. So if you have questions for me,
- 53:53it could be anything, send them in.
- 53:58Where am I trying to go? First question, question number
- 54:00one, do you plan to ever permanently return to
- 54:04California? Why or why not?
- 54:08It's not out of the question. It's not out of the question.
- 54:11Kimberly and I are both pretty adventurous people.
- 54:13We've moved around a lot. The house that we live in now,
- 54:17the place that we live, we have lived over eight years, the
- 54:21longest we've ever stayed in any home.
- 54:24It's the longest by far. Previous to that, our record was
- 54:27three years. We've been married 26.
- 54:30I think I, I can, I always forget this, but I think in our
- 54:3326 years of marriage we have lived in 14 homes.
- 54:39So we move around quite a bit now.
- 54:42My parents are aging. You guys know that my dad has
- 54:46been battling lymphoma for the last about 7 years now and going
- 54:52back for my birthday to visit my parents was terrific dispense of
- 54:55time. We used to live right around the
- 54:59corner from them and you know we lived in two houses right around
- 55:03the corner from them. The last house that we lived in
- 55:05in California was maybe 3 miles away.
- 55:09So the idea of moving back to California to be close to my
- 55:13parents and close to Kimberly's parents is something that is
- 55:17becoming more important the older they get.
- 55:19Having said that, out here in Western PA, we we live in a in a
- 55:27beautiful home that we love. That is everything I ever
- 55:31wanted. It's way more than Kimberly ever
- 55:33wanted. She she's wanted out since the
- 55:35day we moved in. But to get a house even 1/4 of
- 55:39this size in the area that where we would like to live, that is
- 55:43an expensive proposition. It's very expensive.
- 55:48So yeah, in order to do it, there would have to be some
- 55:53there. There would have to be some
- 55:54incentive, some financial incentive to do it as well.
- 55:59So that's the why or why not? Also, I, I mean, I wouldn't mind
- 56:04living in Timbuktu. I'd love to live in Argentina
- 56:08again. We visited Portugal.
- 56:09I'd love to live in Portugal. There are places here in the
- 56:12United States I'd love to live. We are very adventurous people
- 56:15and nothing's off the table for us.
- 56:17And you know, any time that we say, hey, this is our last home
- 56:21and never is, never is we, we just, we're Rolling Stones.
- 56:26Kimberly and I question #2 have you ever been to my native
- 56:31country of Bulgaria? And do you know where it is
- 56:35located? I do know where Bulgaria is
- 56:37located. It's in the Balkans.
- 56:39I think the closest I've ever been to Bulgaria is probably
- 56:42Bucharest, which is in Romania. I've been to brass off in
- 56:47Romania and Bucharest are the are the two places that I've
- 56:53spent anytime anywhere near the Balkans.
- 56:56I think Romania is still part of the Balkans.
- 57:01I do have a nephew who spent time as a missionary in Albania
- 57:05and N Macedonia. I have a cousin whose son is
- 57:10doing the same thing right now in North Macedonia.
- 57:13So yeah, I'm, I'm really familiar with the Balkans and I
- 57:16think they're beautiful. In fact, I, Romania is one of
- 57:21the countries that Kimberly and I would consider living in.
- 57:23As I, I speak some romantic languages.
- 57:28Romanian is not is unlike many languages in the area that are
- 57:33more slavically based, Romania is or is a romantic language.
- 57:37So I kind of, and I used to employ so many people from
- 57:42Romania and it was really fun because we could speak to one
- 57:44another. I would speak to them in Spanish
- 57:46or Italian. They would speak to me in in
- 57:48Romanian and we could hold simple conversations with one
- 57:51another. So that's one of the places that
- 57:53I would definitely consider living one of these days.
- 57:57So yeah, I definitely know where Bulgaria is.
- 58:02When I was a kid, I thought Bulgaria was a place where it
- 58:06was a Kingdom where children were not allowed and they were
- 58:13caught by a child catcher and imprisoned.
- 58:16But it turns out that that is Vulgaria from the classic
- 58:21children's tale Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
- 58:23Bulgaria is a very different place.
- 58:27Where was your first date with your wife?
- 58:29OK, I'm running out of time. I'm trying to keep this to about
- 58:32an hour. Got a couple minutes.
- 58:34Kimberly told me to just be, just to be simple about this,
- 58:38OK, But our first date was amazing.
- 58:42OK, our first date was amazing. Here was the deal.
- 58:48OK, I need to set this up. First of all, I had spent about
- 58:534 1/2 years moping. Two of those years of course
- 59:00were in Argentina was moping. And then 2 1/2 of those years
- 59:06were back stateside moping until the day I met this heavenly
- 59:13creature on earth named Kimberly Compton.
- 59:17And we, we met on a Sunday, OK, on that Sunday.
- 59:24It was, it was the first Sunday in June of 1999.
- 59:28I don't remember the exact date. First Sunday in June, I went to
- 59:33church, to a new church and I was with my new roommate.
- 59:38We had, we had moved into an apartment together in Fair Oaks,
- 59:43CA and they're in Fair Oaks. That might be Carmichael at that
- 59:48point, but that in that area, there's there was the church
- 59:51that we went to and we went and I was chatting with my roommate.
- 59:56We're just kind of getting to know each other.
- 59:57We had gone to school together a little bit.
- 59:59And in walks this amazing woman, very different from anybody else
- 1:00:07I had ever seen in my life. It was the she she carried
- 1:00:14herself tall, she her shoulders. Were tucked back and her chin
- 1:00:21was up and she knew exactly who she was and she knew exactly how
- 1:00:26valuable she was. And I saw it.
- 1:00:29I saw her. I saw it as in the behavior.
- 1:00:33And I said in that very moment to my roommate, I'm going to ask
- 1:00:40her to marry me. And then he laughed and I was
- 1:00:43dead serious. I I saw exactly what I wanted to
- 1:00:47see. OK, now imagine my surprise the
- 1:00:51next. Now we chatted that day at
- 1:00:52church. There was like a little activity
- 1:00:55and she was friends with a friend of mine and we were we
- 1:01:00were chatting. She was amazing.
- 1:01:03She was everything that I wanted that everything that I ever
- 1:01:06thought I wanted. OK, the next day we had a little
- 1:01:10church activity again and we were going to go roller skating.
- 1:01:14For those of you in the Sacramento area, Roseville, it
- 1:01:17was not Roller King out in Roseville.
- 1:01:20It was what was it called? Is it Sunrise Roller Land in
- 1:01:27Citrus Heights where we were going to go roller skating as a
- 1:01:30little church young single adult group.
- 1:01:34I got there early excited because Kimberly Compton said
- 1:01:38she was going to be there and I was going to like, try to hold
- 1:01:42her hand. We're going to roller skate,
- 1:01:44right? So anyway, she walks in holding
- 1:01:48the hand of another guy that I did not know.
- 1:01:52And I went and I was like, devastated.
- 1:01:54I was devastated. She had a boyfriend.
- 1:01:58And so I went to the activity, but about 10 minutes in, I was
- 1:02:01just so broken hearted that I left.
- 1:02:04Tried not to pout, tried to be a good sport, just like really
- 1:02:10slyly head on out, get on home because I was just heartbroken.
- 1:02:14OK, so that was Monday. Tuesday morning I woke up and I
- 1:02:18was so broken hearted that this girl that I wanted to ask to
- 1:02:21marry me after seeing her for the first time had a boyfriend
- 1:02:26that I called in sick to work. I called in sick.
- 1:02:30OK, this is going on too long, but this, this is how it went.
- 1:02:34So that was Tuesday at about 5:00 in the afternoon when our
- 1:02:41mutual friend Tiffany came home. I called her up and I asked her
- 1:02:48if she just wanted to go grab dinner or something.
- 1:02:50So we did. We went out to dinner and we
- 1:02:52were buddies and I was obviously moping.
- 1:02:57I was obviously sad and Tiffany is like OK, what's the problem
- 1:03:00Gavin? And I was like, can't really
- 1:03:05have the morning rent. And I want to ask her to marry
- 1:03:07me, Mama. And Tiffany told me that that if
- 1:03:14I called her invite and invited her over, she would come.
- 1:03:18And I was afraid, but I'd been moping for 4 1/2 years.
- 1:03:22Guys been moping. And UN uncharacteristically me,
- 1:03:28I took Tiffany's advice. And I called Kimberly said, hey,
- 1:03:32Tiffany and her boyfriend are coming over tonight.
- 1:03:34We're just going to, like, swim and hang out in the hot tub.
- 1:03:36Do you want to come? And she said, yeah, so that was
- 1:03:41that was Tuesday night. OK.
- 1:03:44So then the four of us are there.
- 1:03:45We're hanging out and we're having a good time.
- 1:03:50And Tiffany's like, hey, David and I are are, are going to San,
- 1:03:55are going to Half Moon Bay tomorrow.
- 1:03:57Why don't you guys come? We're like, yeah, that sounds
- 1:03:59fun. Half Moon Bay is South of San
- 1:04:01Francisco, north of Monterey Bay.
- 1:04:03And David was a private pilot. I was not.
- 1:04:08At this point, I in fact, the idea of learning to fly an
- 1:04:11airplane, I thought was only reserved for people in the Air
- 1:04:14Force. And their plan was they were
- 1:04:17going to fly from Sacramento down to Half Moon Bay.
- 1:04:21And David had rented a little, little plane.
- 1:04:25And so I asked him, really, do you want to come?
- 1:04:28And she said, yeah. So the next day I go to work,
- 1:04:33I'm feeling better. I, you know, really looking
- 1:04:37forward to the evening when we, when we go on our date, I rush
- 1:04:43home from work, I get ready, I run over to Kimberly's house, I
- 1:04:46pick her up, she's looking great.
- 1:04:48And we run over to Sacramento Executive Airport and David and
- 1:04:52Tiffany are already there. They've already pre flighted the
- 1:04:54aircraft. And I don't want you to think
- 1:04:58that this was like a Pretty Woman moment, like this was a
- 1:05:01Learjet or something. This was an old 1950s model
- 1:05:04Cessna Skylane. And it's, it's, Kimberly likes
- 1:05:09to describe it as a Volkswagen Beetle with wings.
- 1:05:11Small for a place. It's, it's much better than a
- 1:05:15Volkswagen Beetle with wings. But that's what she likes to
- 1:05:17say. She thought she was doing a
- 1:05:18Pretty Woman thing. But anyway, we get in the plane,
- 1:05:23we take off out of Sacramento very, very close to sunset,
- 1:05:28right? It's late.
- 1:05:30Well, very close. It's within a couple hours, an
- 1:05:34hour, maybe something like that. We head down South and David
- 1:05:38flies us the most picturesque route just down over Oakland.
- 1:05:45We go across the Bay Bridge and just as we're crossing the
- 1:05:49Golden Gate Bridge, the sun is setting over the Golden Gate
- 1:05:54Bridge and there we are flying into the sun as it sets, going
- 1:05:59Golden Gate Bridge, going over it, and then we turn left and
- 1:06:04head South. This Half Moon Bay where we land
- 1:06:07in the dark, tie down the plane and we just walked to a pizza
- 1:06:12place right off of the airport, grabbed a pizza and then went
- 1:06:17down to the harbor, sat on the dock with our feet in the water
- 1:06:20and ate pizza. That was our first date.
- 1:06:26That was a good date. So our first date was Half Moon
- 1:06:30Bay, CA and I think, I think maybe this now the swimming you
- 1:06:35don't count as the first date. This was our first date.
- 1:06:38That was also the time that I was like, hey, I could learn to
- 1:06:42fly an airplane. I really like this.
- 1:06:43So that was that. And that is 3 questions with
- 1:06:49Gavin Fish. It's three questions with Gavin
- 1:06:53Fish. Pow OK guys, thank you so much
