- 0:53Speaker 5: twenty three Tesla model why where the Texas plate parked
- 0:56Speaker 5: on the street for a month and report the vehicle.
- 0:59Speaker 5: Days later, Employees a Hollywood Toe notice a foul odor
- 1:03Speaker 5: coming from the car and call police. Officers discover a
- 1:06Speaker 5: decomposing body found in a bag in the front of
- 1:08Speaker 5: the Tesla. Human remains wrapped in plastic, placed in a
- 1:12Speaker 5: bag and hidden in the front trunk of the Tesla
- 1:15Speaker 5: are severely decomposed and partially dismembered.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Lise.
- 1:19Speaker 5: The person was a female five foot two, weighing seventy
- 1:22Speaker 5: one pounds, with wavy black hair, and was wearing a
- 1:25Speaker 5: tube top in black leggings. The person appears deceased inside

- 1:38Speaker 1: he goes missing, found decomposing, partially dismembered, and a star's
- 1:48Speaker 1: tesla trunk who is now whining because his tour is canceled.
- 1:55Speaker 1: The music star I'm talking about has gone multi platinum.
- 2:01Speaker 1: But before I talk about all of his musical success
- 2:04Speaker 1: and how much money he's making and how famous he is,
- 2:08Speaker 1: can I show you what he just reposted? Okay of
- 2:12Speaker 1: a guy chopping up lunching me and he says me,
- 2:18Speaker 1: if I see her talk with other dudes, you know,
- 2:22Speaker 1: not a good look when you're then thirteen year old
- 2:27Speaker 1: girlfriend is found dismembered and decomposing in your tesla. And
- 2:34Speaker 1: as I recall to Israel Sala Frodriguez joining a senior
- 2:38Speaker 1: news reporter, us son not just dismembered and decomposing, I
- 2:46Speaker 1: mean you, by the way, that video is from at
- 2:50Speaker 1: Brian on TikTok, you could smell the trunk as you
- 2:55Speaker 1: approached the tesla. And isn't this true, Israel Sola Rodriguez
- 3:00Speaker 1: that the tesla was noticed by the neighborhood because it
- 3:06Speaker 1: was so dusty and it had been sitting there for
- 3:09Speaker 1: so long. My point is, how could somebody put a
- 3:14Speaker 1: a then thirteen year old little girl in a trunk
- 3:17Speaker 1: and leave the car there for weeks on And how
- 3:22Speaker 1: long was that car sitting in there?
- 3:23Speaker 6: Israel, that's right, Nancy, So the car was reportedly sitting
- 3:27Speaker 6: there for weeks, and then the fluent neighborhood in Los Angeles,
- 3:30Speaker 6: the Hollywood Hills neighbors complained about a foul older coming
- 3:33Speaker 6: from the Tesla. However, it wasn't until early September when
- 3:38Speaker 6: authorities finally impounded that vehicle from the neighborhood.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Was the Tesla moved a couple of times when it
- 3:45Speaker 1: was sitting out on the street.
- 3:47Speaker 6: That's unclear right now, Nancy. However, there was of reports
- 3:50Speaker 6: from neighbors that the Tesla was parked in a home
- 3:55Speaker 6: in that same area in the Hollywood Hills, and then
- 3:57Speaker 6: days later it was parked on this walk.
- 4:00Speaker 5: It's a little weird to see a car that I
- 4:02Speaker 5: haven't seen here for a long time, had a big
- 4:04Speaker 5: dent on it had a Texas plate on it, so
- 4:06Speaker 5: all a little odd. One neighbor says, the distinct looking
- 4:10Speaker 5: Tesla was parked on the street for some time in
- 4:12Speaker 5: front of the house that was searched, and later in
- 4:15Speaker 5: two other spots on the street. The vehicle stood out
- 4:18Speaker 5: because it has a Texas plate and a big dent.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That from our friends at WABC seven to Dave mac
- 4:25Speaker 1: joining me Crime Stories investigative reporter, isn't it true, Dave,
- 4:30Speaker 1: that she was so decomposed she had to be forensically identified.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Isn't that true?
- 4:40Speaker 3: Absolutely correct? Nancy.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Okay again, jos Gott Morgan, I'm just a felony prosecutor.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Could you explain what that means. I mean, I'm guessing
- 4:51Speaker 1: that means that they didn't open the trunk and look
- 4:53Speaker 1: at her and go, that's a little missing girl. Celested.
- 4:58Speaker 1: She had to be forensically identified.
- 5:02Speaker 7: Yeah, to give you to kind of frame this out
- 5:04Speaker 7: a little bit, Nancy, her Celeste measurements her weight specifically
- 5:09Speaker 7: in life be ready for this was one hundred and
- 5:12Speaker 7: twenty pounds. The remains that they have are somewhere in
- 5:16Speaker 7: the neighborhood of seventy, So no, they could not have
- 5:19Speaker 7: been able to actually visualize her and say, yeah, this
- 5:23Speaker 7: is Celeste, this is who we've been looking for. No,
- 5:25Speaker 7: they're going to go at this. I do understand that
- 5:28Speaker 7: she has specific tattoos and they were able to use that.
- 5:33Speaker 7: I can only assume her family's involved in put them up.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Please okay. Specifically one tattoo, a tiny tattoo on the
- 5:41Speaker 1: inside of her finger. It says sh sh and you
- 5:46Speaker 1: could only see it if that finger was held up
- 5:51Speaker 1: there it is, there's a sh. Now. I just saw
- 5:54Speaker 1: another tattoo and I'd like to see it again. That
- 5:56Speaker 1: was the other tattoo on her finger, So Mom and
- 6:00Speaker 1: I couldn't see her tattoos. David, Wow, David, David the musician,
- 6:08Speaker 1: and it's on her ring finger. Hello, David the musician,
- 6:16Speaker 1: and it's on a ring configure. But you know what's interesting?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Can I see Joe Scott please? The sh tattoo? What
- 6:25Speaker 1: a co ink? You think that he David? Some people
- 6:29Speaker 1: look at his name and it looks like D four
- 6:33Speaker 1: VD and he pronounces it David. He has the same
- 6:39Speaker 1: tattoo on his index finger. What a coincidence? Isn't that odd?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan?
- 6:47Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 6:48Speaker 7: What else is odd is that a child, a child
- 6:51Speaker 7: this age has tattoos. All right, So just let that
- 6:54Speaker 7: sink in just for a second. The fact that she
- 6:57Speaker 7: does have this tattoo, though, was certainly beneficial as far
- 7:02Speaker 7: as getting her remains identified. And listen, you can't just
- 7:07Speaker 7: go based upon the tattoo. There are other elements here we.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Have and that just got We were just showing her
- 7:14Speaker 1: with the ring on her ring finger that's on her
- 7:17Speaker 1: left hand. This when she goes mission. She's thirteen years old.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 7:26Speaker 5: The thirteen year old became friends with singer David on
- 7:29Speaker 5: social media and ran away to Hollywood deceive the rising star.
- 7:33Speaker 5: Celestia was returned home to Lake elson Or by police.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Celestia remained in school for a month. Then in May,
- 7:39Speaker 5: David picks thee lest up in a tesla to go
- 7:41Speaker 5: to the movies and she has been gone ever since.
- 7:45Speaker 1: This little girl disappears for the first time when she
- 7:48Speaker 1: is just thirteen years old, after she goes to meet
- 7:52Speaker 1: musician who has gone multi platinum and they start talking online.
- 7:57Speaker 1: She goes to a concert somehow with him and they
- 8:00Speaker 1: start talking online. That's the working theory. He's not charged
- 8:04Speaker 1: with anything, and I'm very curious about that decision. Let's
- 8:08Speaker 1: hear it all from the Horse's Mouth.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Hello.
- 8:11Speaker 9: My name is David pronounced David, not d four VD.
- 8:15Speaker 9: I'm from Queens, New York. I'm in Houston now. I
- 8:17Speaker 9: own a gamer. I love video games. I wanted to
- 8:20Speaker 9: be a professional gamer before music. That's actually what pushed
- 8:23Speaker 9: me into music was getting copyright strikes on YouTube and
- 8:27Speaker 9: I kind of just use my own music and my
- 8:29Speaker 9: montages after my mom told me too, so I was
- 8:32Speaker 9: crying to her about it.
- 8:33Speaker 1: That is from the Genius YouTube channel.
- 8:36Speaker 5: The twenty year old became a YouTube star, playing his
- 8:38Speaker 5: favorite game, Fortnite and commentary. His channel was defunded due
- 8:43Speaker 5: to his use of popular music he used on his
- 8:45Speaker 5: videos that he did not license. He says his mother
- 8:48Speaker 5: told him to make his own music for his videos.
- 8:50Speaker 5: He downloaded a free music app for his phone, and
- 8:53Speaker 5: his music career was born. Using his own music in
- 8:56Speaker 5: his gaming montages, Burke begins uploading his tracks to sound Cloud.
- 9:00Speaker 5: His music gained more attention than his gaming montages. Self
- 9:04Speaker 5: produced song Romantic Homicide goes viral, leading to a record deal.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Romantic Homicide is certified multi platinum.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Has anybody actually looked at the lyrics of Romantic Homicide?
- 9:16Speaker 1: Let's put it up on the screen so we can
- 9:17Speaker 1: all take a look. Okay, we definitely need to shrink
- 9:20Speaker 1: on this. In the back of my mind, I killed
- 9:22Speaker 1: you and I didn't even regret it. I can't believe
- 9:26Speaker 1: I said it, but it's true. Do I love you?
- 9:29Speaker 10: Know?
- 9:29Speaker 1: I hate you? In the back of my mind? You
- 9:33Speaker 1: died and I didn't even cry. No, not a single tear.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And I'm sick of waiting patiently for someone that won't
- 9:40Speaker 1: even arrive. Take a listen to David promoing his song
- 9:46Speaker 1: Romantic Homicide.
- 9:49Speaker 9: So when inspired the hook in the back of my
- 9:50Speaker 9: Mind you died, It's kind of like the storytelling aspect
- 9:53Speaker 9: of the lyrics that came before it in a way
- 9:55Speaker 9: that it builds up to the big moment where she
- 9:58Speaker 9: died in the back of my mind and killer physically
- 10:01Speaker 9: in the back of my mind. She died and I
- 10:04Speaker 9: didn't even cry, not a single tear.
- 10:06Speaker 1: That is from the Genius YouTube channel. A lot of
- 10:09Speaker 1: you may not be familiar with his music. It's not rap,
- 10:13Speaker 1: it's more like R and B. I've listened to a
- 10:16Speaker 1: lot of it, specifically Romantic Homicide. He's also ventured into clothing.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I'd like you to see some of the shirts that
- 10:28Speaker 1: he David has offered online for sale. Oh wait, hold on,
- 10:33Speaker 1: wait are those blood spattered shirts? It looks like is
- 10:38Speaker 1: it in a car? I don't know where it is,
- 10:40Speaker 1: but that's him with blood spattered shirts. To Joanna Nevis,
- 10:46Speaker 1: veteran criminal defense attorney, Joanna, you are fully versed in
- 10:54Speaker 1: guilty conscience. Sometimes the cleanup is worse than the crime,
- 10:58Speaker 1: the cover up, so to speak. Why would he suddenly
- 11:01Speaker 1: remove shots of him with bloody T shirts. It looks
- 11:06Speaker 1: like it's even in a car. Why why would he
- 11:09Speaker 1: do that suddenly? No, Nancy.
- 11:12Speaker 8: So many people, especially celebrities, are represented by what we
- 11:18Speaker 8: say like public relations representatives who will advise them to
- 11:23Speaker 8: do certain things so that a kind of attack thing
- 11:27Speaker 8: before the damage happened. And you know, this is somebody
- 11:30Speaker 8: who was in the spotlight. He's already being attacked about
- 11:33Speaker 8: his lyrics. He's already being painted as the person who
- 11:36Speaker 8: is you know, likely responsible for this because he had
- 11:39Speaker 8: a relationship with this person, and he is likely being
- 11:43Speaker 8: told that he should take these images down. Although these
- 11:46Speaker 8: images are a part of his overall brand. We're talking
- 11:49Speaker 8: about creative expression.
- 11:51Speaker 1: I can't wait, I can't wait for you to try
- 11:54Speaker 1: that on the jury. This was his artistic expression. What
- 11:58Speaker 1: more do we know about this guy?
- 12:00Speaker 5: Burke has released several singles, including Here with Me. They
- 12:03Speaker 5: charted on the Billboard Hot one hundred. He has recorded
- 12:07Speaker 5: two EPs, and last April released his first full album, Withered,
- 12:11Speaker 5: with the Withered world tourist starting last month and canceled
- 12:15Speaker 5: the day the body in his Tesla was identified as Celast.
- 12:19Speaker 5: His deluxe album is shelved. His record label Interscope, suspended
- 12:23Speaker 5: the album's release and paused all promotional activities related to David.
- 12:27Speaker 5: His endorsement deals are canceled.
- 12:32Speaker 1: What do I have? This correct to Dave Matt, Crime
- 12:35Speaker 1: Story's investigative reporter that after Celeste butchered remains are found
- 12:40Speaker 1: in his tesla trunk, he continues touring for several weeks
- 12:48Speaker 1: until the outcry online it becomes too noisy to ignore.
- 12:54Speaker 11: It's unbelievable, Nancy, that bloody remains are found in a
- 13:00Speaker 11: vehicle registered to you, Yet you continue on this world
- 13:06Speaker 11: tour like nothing was found in your car, and only
- 13:10Speaker 11: stop when the remains are identified.
- 13:13Speaker 3: As a missing child from Lake Elsinor. He went on
- 13:19Speaker 3: about his daily business after a bloody chopped up, decomposed, course,
- 13:26Speaker 3: was found in his abandoned guard. Nancy, think about all
- 13:29Speaker 3: of this, and it goes beyond the pale of what
- 13:32Speaker 3: any human being ever would do to another human being.
- 13:36Speaker 1: You know, Dave, Matt Apparently you and I are the
- 13:38Speaker 1: only ones concerned because as of this moment when we
- 13:43Speaker 1: go to air tonight, there have been no charges at all. Okay,
- 13:49Speaker 1: he's in a relationship with her. She's a runaway times two.
- 13:56Speaker 1: She's been gone over a year with him. I bet
- 13:59Speaker 1: if we timed the those photos would find out how
- 14:01Speaker 1: long she's been with him and now she's dead. Now, okay,
- 14:06Speaker 1: look at this livestream video of David and Celeste. Oh yo,
- 14:12Speaker 1: what way? Wait?
- 14:14Speaker 9: Look one.
- 14:19Speaker 12: Family? Oh thank you, Mitch, Mitchel Kanzio Mas can we
- 14:30Speaker 12: delete alls? And then as soon as the stream too.
- 14:34Speaker 1: That's around friends at the Daily Mail. An integral part
- 14:38Speaker 1: of any homicide investigation is a time line. It's critical.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Based on a timeline, you can alibi people, you can
- 14:50Speaker 1: unalibi other people that you're looking at as a suspect.
- 14:55Speaker 1: It changes everything. And in the last hours, a video
- 15:00Speaker 1: has emerged potentially placing this little girl just thirteen years
- 15:05Speaker 1: old when she goes missing at a David d four
- 15:10Speaker 1: VD concert in Maryland on August twenty four. Significance very quickly,
- 15:18Speaker 1: Dave mac When was Celeste's body found in David Burke's
- 15:24Speaker 1: Tesla Trump.
- 15:25Speaker 5: She was found on September the eighth, and it had.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Been sitting out on the street in posh Hollywood Hills
- 15:33Speaker 1: for weeks that we know of. So that gives me
- 15:37Speaker 1: a timeline, That's what I'm getting at. So if she
- 15:41Speaker 1: is alive, if this is in fact her in the
- 15:44Speaker 1: video August twenty four, and then we've got September seven,
- 15:48Speaker 1: that gives me a timeline. Let's take a look at
- 15:51Speaker 1: the video right now. This video has been circulating video
- 15:56Speaker 1: from at clips of David on TikTok Now. Is isn't
- 16:00Speaker 1: it true? Melissa McCarty joining me, I investigative reporter, host

- 16:37Speaker 1: she had been living with this grown man, David Anthony
- 16:42Speaker 1: Burke aka David for a long time. Some sources date
- 16:48Speaker 1: her relationship back to her age eleven. Did you see
- 16:53Speaker 1: that picture of her as a little girl, Yeah, age eleven,
- 16:57Speaker 1: we can establish age thirteen. You are seeing video from
- 17:04Speaker 1: atclips of David on TikTok. I want to see that
- 17:08Speaker 1: again because now we are learning. We are learning. Moses
- 17:13Speaker 1: Castillo joining me, former supervisor detective at LAPD, private investigator
- 17:19Speaker 1: for the Dordellian Law Group. Castillo, Look at this. People
- 17:23Speaker 1: are saying, no, that's not her. So it's a woman
- 17:25Speaker 1: that a young girl that looks just like her, that
- 17:29Speaker 1: is wearing her clothes, that is in a balcony reserved
- 17:33Speaker 1: for special guests and family aunt. Moses Castillo. Uh oh,
- 17:38Speaker 1: by the way, this is from atclipse of David on TikTok,
- 17:41Speaker 1: Moses same clothes. People are saying, oh, wait, I don't
- 17:45Speaker 1: think that's her. Sure looks like her. Who should? I
- 17:48Speaker 1: believe them are my lying eyes.
- 17:51Speaker 14: Yes, I believe it is her, and I believe many
- 17:53Speaker 14: people also believe it's her.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Guys. This is from a Silver Springs, Maryland concert August
- 18:00Speaker 1: twenty four, and if true, these photos create a timeline
- 18:04Speaker 1: from August twenty four until her decomposing body is found
- 18:09Speaker 1: in Burke artist known as David Tesla in an en
- 18:15Speaker 1: pound lot on September eight. Is reported the Tesla was
- 18:20Speaker 1: parked on the street for about a month before being
- 18:22Speaker 1: reported abandoned. There is I assume that is the front
- 18:28Speaker 1: of the to loot. It was reported abandoned September three.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Now we now have a timeline from August twenty four
- 18:39Speaker 1: to September three, not when the body was discovered in
- 18:45Speaker 1: the parking in the toe lot, but when it was abandoned.
- 18:49Speaker 1: The body was already in there. We have now narrowed
- 18:52Speaker 1: the timeline down from August twenty four to September three.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I want to show you another video that we dug up.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Take a look at this. The words I got time
- 19:05Speaker 1: to kill, you got time to fill, We got blood
- 19:08Speaker 1: to spill all over the new car seats that I'm
- 19:13Speaker 1: sleeping on. Okay, let that sink in just for a moment.
- 19:17Speaker 1: You got time to feel. We got blood to spill
- 19:21Speaker 1: all over the new car seats that I'm sleeping on.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Take a listen to this.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Friends of Burke thought Celeste was nineteen and his girlfriend,
- 19:32Speaker 5: describing Burke as a very shy, quiet person. Friends said
- 19:36Speaker 5: they saw Burke and Celeste together a lot as a
- 19:38Speaker 5: romantically involved couple. Thinking Celeste was a student at usc
- 19:42Speaker 5: friends of Burke saw Celesti at age restricted venues and clubs.
- 19:46Speaker 1: So apparently she was being passed off as much older
- 19:50Speaker 1: than she actually was. And I've noticed in all the
- 19:53Speaker 1: photos that are posted off her, she's always covering her face.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Very curious crime Stores with Nancy Grace, we learned that
- 20:11Speaker 1: overnight the musician known as David flees his three plus
- 20:18Speaker 1: million dollar mansi, and he was paying twenty thousand dollars
- 20:23Speaker 1: a month and breaks a lease, so getting out of
- 20:27Speaker 1: that mansion was more important to him than losing a
- 20:31Speaker 1: lot of money.
- 20:32Speaker 5: Burke was living in a home leased by his manager,
- 20:35Speaker 5: Josh Marshall, but since police served a search warrant looking
- 20:38Speaker 5: for blood at the residents, the singer decided not to
- 20:41Speaker 5: live in the twenty thousand dollars a month home. The owner,
- 20:44Speaker 5: Laden Tryfuonevic says Marshall signed the lease in February and
- 20:47Speaker 5: he didn't know Burke was living in the house. After
- 20:50Speaker 5: the raid, Tryffuonevick says, they didn't want to live there
- 20:52Speaker 5: anymore and are breaking the lease. The home was previously
- 20:55Speaker 5: owned by halle Berry.
- 20:57Speaker 1: You're not seeing really good shot of it, the beautiful
- 21:00Speaker 1: side of the front. Oh, by the way, these shots
- 21:03Speaker 1: are from our friend Harvey Levin over at TMZ. Take
- 21:08Speaker 1: a look at this. So he leaves and breaks a lease. Coincidentally,
- 21:15Speaker 1: Melissa McCarty joining US investigative reporter and host of Killer
- 21:19Speaker 1: Jeans podcast. He breaks the lease to the tune of
- 21:22Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars. He may have had to
- 21:25Speaker 1: pay out the lease. I don't know how many years
- 21:28Speaker 1: it what twenty thousand a month for how long? How
- 21:31Speaker 1: many months? How many years? He breaks the lease and
- 21:35Speaker 1: flees in the middle of the night. Tell me about
- 21:38Speaker 1: the search of that mansion that just went down, the
- 21:41Speaker 1: mansion that once belonged to halle Berry.
- 21:44Speaker 13: Well, police officers are looking for anything to help build
- 21:48Speaker 13: a case at this point, so they're looking for traces
- 21:50Speaker 13: of blood throughout the property. They're also collecting all kinds
- 21:54Speaker 13: of electronics because they also a.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Huge issue here.
- 21:57Speaker 13: They need to prove the extent of this relationship that
- 22:01Speaker 13: he had with this child, you know, So they're looking
- 22:04Speaker 13: at communications, so when they met, what age was she
- 22:08Speaker 13: when they connected, So anything that could help them build
- 22:11Speaker 13: a physical and digital forensic pathway.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Laden Travunevik, the owner of the home Burke was renting
- 22:17Speaker 5: for twenty thousand dollars a month, has hired a private investigator,
- 22:20Speaker 5: Steve Fisher, to try and find out what was happening
- 22:23Speaker 5: in the home he owns. Fisher was hired shortly after
- 22:26Speaker 5: a forced search entry search warrant was served at the home.
- 22:30Speaker 5: Nobody was home when police served a search warrant.
- 22:32Speaker 4: The LAPD says Celeste had been deceased for weeks before
- 22:36Speaker 4: being discovered in Burke's tesla. Private investigator Steve Fisher says
- 22:40Speaker 4: he has seen surveillance video from neighbor homes and knows
- 22:43Speaker 4: exactly when the tesla was last moved and who moved
- 22:46Speaker 4: it to the location from where it was towed in
- 22:48Speaker 4: very late.
- 22:48Speaker 1: July and the only way to amass that information. To
- 22:53Speaker 1: gather it is from the cams in the neighborhood.
- 22:57Speaker 5: Listen surveillance cameras in the Hollywood Hill built a complete
- 23:01Speaker 5: timeline showing when Burke's tesla was parked on Bluebird Avenue,
- 23:04Speaker 5: who parked it, and whether anything was placed in the
- 23:07Speaker 5: vehicle after it was parked. There's also no evidence indicating
- 23:11Speaker 5: Celest's body was transferred into the tesla after it was
- 23:15Speaker 5: parked on the street.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Joining me right now, private investigator Steve Fisher. He's been
- 23:21Speaker 1: on the case from the very very beginning. Missing person's
- 23:24Speaker 1: private investigator, search and rescue specialist and owner of Search Investigations.
- 23:31Speaker 1: He is the one hired by the Hollywood Hills property renter,
- 23:37Speaker 1: the leaser where the four VD David Burke was living.
- 23:42Speaker 1: You claim that you have amassed cam camera video camera
- 23:48Speaker 1: evidence from the neighborhood, and that having looked at that,
- 23:50Speaker 1: you've placed you've pieced together a timeline and you know
- 23:55Speaker 1: when Burke's tesla with a dead body in it, I
- 23:58Speaker 1: think was first part in the neighborhood. When was that
- 24:02Speaker 1: first part in the neighborhood.
- 24:05Speaker 15: It moved to that last spot on July twenty ninth,
- 24:08Speaker 15: at about eleven something in the morning, and I'll tell
- 24:11Speaker 15: you it was in the same shape that we saw
- 24:14Speaker 15: it in those toe photos where it was completely dirty
- 24:18Speaker 15: and trashed. I could tell that they had run the
- 24:19Speaker 15: windshield wiper ones just so they could see out of it,
- 24:22Speaker 15: and they had rolled the window down to move it,
- 24:23Speaker 15: even though they're moving about a block and a half.
- 24:26Speaker 15: But it was in that condition still, so it had
- 24:29Speaker 15: not been used in a long time. They had clearly
- 24:31Speaker 15: been just moving it around different areas of the neighborhood.
- 24:34Speaker 1: July twenty nine, eleven, am Burke's tesla was moved to
- 24:38Speaker 1: its last location. Is that correct?
- 24:42Speaker 2: Correct?
- 24:43Speaker 1: Okay? Do you know where it was parked before that?
- 24:49Speaker 8: That?
- 24:49Speaker 15: I don't know, because from the house that was taken
- 24:51Speaker 15: from is a little bit down the hill, but on
- 24:54Speaker 15: the same street that the rental house is on.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Okay, So you're telling me the tesla that hell Celeste
- 25:01Speaker 1: decomposing body is on the same was ultimately left on
- 25:04Speaker 1: the same street where he was living.
- 25:08Speaker 15: It looked like it was coming from the rental house.
- 25:10Speaker 15: He can't see for sure, but there's only a few
- 25:12Speaker 15: houses on that street because that's like an off street.
- 25:15Speaker 15: And it came down that road and was turning onto
- 25:20Speaker 15: where you go up the Bluebird there where it was left.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Okay, are you telling me on a video you can
- 25:26Speaker 1: see the tesla coming from the direction of his house.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:30Speaker 15: So how the road is curved, and so the house
- 25:34Speaker 15: that captured that is kind of at the base of
- 25:37Speaker 15: the curve, so you can't see you can see it
- 25:39Speaker 15: coming down the road, you can't see exactly where it started,
- 25:41Speaker 15: and you can't see the driveway of the rental house.
- 25:46Speaker 2: It stops right before that the camera angle does wow?
- 25:51Speaker 1: Okay, did you see any cam video camera video on
- 25:55Speaker 1: any nature that showed the tesla a part in that
- 26:00Speaker 1: area prior to July twenty nine.
- 26:04Speaker 15: I have seen the images that I obtained from the
- 26:07Speaker 15: Department of Transportation on the day it was ticketed and toad,
- 26:12Speaker 15: which was September fifth, And then I have seen a
- 26:15Speaker 15: video that shows it in May of twenty twenty five,
- 26:20Speaker 15: very clean, but actually parked on that Bluebird Street that
- 26:24Speaker 15: one was ultimately towed from, but it was clean at
- 26:27Speaker 15: that time.
- 26:28Speaker 1: Joining me now Scott Iiker, who has actually performed experiments
- 26:33Speaker 1: with a tesla. Founding member FBI Cellular Analysis Serve a
- 26:38Speaker 1: team former police officer, homicide detective with Norfolk, Virginia currently
- 26:46Speaker 1: precision Cellular Analysis. Scott, thank you for being with us.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Explain what you learned about this tesla other than the
- 26:55Speaker 1: fact that the trunk is open over ten minutes, an
- 26:58Speaker 1: alert is sent by text email to the owner.
- 27:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:03Speaker 14: And the tesla, as we have talked to before, has
- 27:07Speaker 14: numerous cameras on it so that you get these alerts
- 27:10Speaker 14: when the trunk is open, or the front front trunk
- 27:16Speaker 14: they call it the fronk. And and there's a small
- 27:19Speaker 14: area in front of in the in the front of
- 27:22Speaker 14: the car there in the front that you can put
- 27:24Speaker 14: baggages or groceries. That's what I use it for. But
- 27:30Speaker 14: in this in this case, you know, her body was
- 27:33Speaker 14: found inside the front of this of the tesla. It's
- 27:36Speaker 14: a very small area and you can see some of
- 27:40Speaker 14: the pictures.
- 27:41Speaker 1: Is my daughter here, that's your re enact Okay, yes.
- 27:46Speaker 14: Yes, ma'am, that's my daughter. She's about one hundred pounds,
- 27:51Speaker 14: so it's pretty tight in there for her. But as
- 27:56Speaker 14: if you know, if the victim in this case with Celeste,
- 28:00Speaker 14: you know she's already deceased, they're more foldable and bendable
- 28:05Speaker 14: at that point.
- 28:06Speaker 1: In time, Scott, Iiker, how tall was your daughter?
- 28:09Speaker 14: Five two pounds?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Okay, that's generally the same size as Celeste. Generally speaking, Scott,
- 28:17Speaker 1: it's almost a three hundred and sixty degree video of
- 28:21Speaker 1: the surroundings of the car. What all would the cameras catch?
- 28:27Speaker 14: They catch numerous aspects front, back, inside of views of
- 28:32Speaker 14: the camera. And this is me reenacting bringing a bag
- 28:36Speaker 14: to the to the front of the car, opening the hood,
- 28:39Speaker 14: placing that bag into that front area, that little space
- 28:43Speaker 14: that we saw earlier, and then showing as you can see,
- 28:45Speaker 14: that's the dash camera in front of the car and
- 28:50Speaker 14: right by the mirror, and it's facing right down the
- 28:54Speaker 14: front of the car, so anybody coming to the front
- 28:56Speaker 14: of that car will get viewed clearly as you can see.
- 29:01Speaker 14: And then there's cameras on each side of the car
- 29:04Speaker 14: and the rear of the car too.
- 29:06Speaker 1: I want to remind everyone that as we go to
- 29:08Speaker 1: air tonight, David Anthony Burke aka D four VD is
- 29:13Speaker 1: innocent in the eyes of the law, and he remains
- 29:16Speaker 1: innocent unless the presumption of innocence is pierced and overcome
- 29:22Speaker 1: by evidence that proves him guilty. Take a look at
- 29:30Speaker 1: thee lest little middle school boyfriend.
- 29:33Speaker 10: She said how her mom didn't treat her well or whatever,
- 29:37Speaker 10: and she didn't like where she was at. We were
- 29:40Speaker 10: at pe and she told me, my friend, that she
- 29:43Speaker 10: was running away, and she said it was because of
- 29:46Speaker 10: her parents, and she was like joking about it, and
- 29:51Speaker 10: she was like happy, like joking like she always was,
- 29:54Speaker 10: and like it didn't seem real because she was like
- 29:57Speaker 10: playing around, joking about it, And the next day she
- 30:01Speaker 10: wasn't at school, and then like that's the last time
- 30:03Speaker 10: I saw her. My heart job. I was like, I
- 30:07Speaker 10: don't know. I just couldn't believe it. I thought, I mean,
- 30:12Speaker 10: I kind of had a feeling when I saw, like
- 30:15Speaker 10: the first thing, I was like, what if it is her?
- 30:18Speaker 10: I just like brushed it off. But when I saw
- 30:20Speaker 10: it really was, I was like, yeah, I really knew.
- 30:24Speaker 1: That's my friends over at GMZ that Celeste revs Little
- 30:27Speaker 1: middle school boyfriend describing how years in the making she
- 30:32Speaker 1: had trouble at home. Why did Celeste Rivas continue to
- 30:39Speaker 1: run away from home? How did everybody know that there
- 30:44Speaker 1: was trouble at home? As a matter of fact, on
- 30:49Speaker 1: this occasion that she ran away from home. Her sister
- 30:53Speaker 1: went looking for her, even poking her head. The sister
- 30:58Speaker 1: into a liquor store asking if they could look at
- 31:02Speaker 1: the surveillance video and see if Celeste had walked by,
- 31:06Speaker 1: and sure enough, Celeste was caught on video cam on
- 31:11Speaker 1: the incident when she ran away from home. To Dave Mac,
- 31:16Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter, what happened in that instance?
- 31:20Speaker 3: You know, in that instance, Nancy, we actually can see
- 31:24Speaker 3: that Celeste is kind.
- 31:25Speaker 5: Of doing a walk run.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Hey, Dave, look at your monitor. We're showing the video
- 31:32Speaker 1: the sister got from the store and there she is
- 31:36Speaker 1: literally running away from home. Let me be clear, Celeste
- 31:39Speaker 1: was not in the liquor store. The surveillance video showed
- 31:43Speaker 1: her going by. This little girl running away from home,
- 31:47Speaker 1: and I got to ask why in this video from
- 31:49Speaker 1: our friend Harvey Levin at TMZ. Now, what were you saying,
- 31:52Speaker 1: Dave Mac? I just wanted you to see the video.
- 31:54Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out that that video was
- 31:56Speaker 3: at seven am. That's when it was taken at a
- 31:58Speaker 3: time when he killed one. Nor will be going to school,
- 32:01Speaker 3: but so instead Celeste is clearly kind of in a
- 32:05Speaker 3: confused state. If you watch her stride she's partially walking,
- 32:09Speaker 3: partially running. It's like she's not quite sure what she's
- 32:12Speaker 3: going to do, but she that's the last they see it,
- 32:15Speaker 3: or she takes off. And it's a fascinating reading to
- 32:19Speaker 3: the thirteen year old that is trying to figure out
- 32:21Speaker 3: what to do. And as you just pointed out, Nancy,
- 32:24Speaker 3: this is a child who spoke about being unhappy at home,
- 32:28Speaker 3: not being treated well at home, and wanting to be away.
- 32:31Speaker 3: And when I see her walking and understopping kind of
- 32:34Speaker 3: and then running, it just breaks my heart.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Imagine this Celeste, a little girl sister, also a little girl,
- 32:41Speaker 1: goes looking for her sister, asking stores and homes along
- 32:47Speaker 1: the way if they had seen her sister. Even a
- 32:51Speaker 1: young girl going in a liquor store asking if they
- 32:54Speaker 1: had seen Celestia because she looked at the surveillance video.
- 32:57Speaker 1: And here is Celeste seven a running away from home.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Now I'm certainly not the church lady, but I can
- 33:07Speaker 1: tell you this. You need to know where your twelve
- 33:10Speaker 1: year old daughter is at seven AM.
- 33:13Speaker 5: A friend of Celestial Mother, Mercedes Martinez says the family
- 33:16Speaker 5: was aware of the relationship with Burke. She doesn't know
- 33:19Speaker 5: why they didn't ask where she had been staying. Celeste
- 33:22Speaker 5: left again and went back to him. Someone called Celeste's
- 33:25Speaker 5: mother and said, stop looking for her. She's fine. Take
- 33:29Speaker 5: down social media post about Celeste being missing. She felt
- 33:33Speaker 5: scared and took down a social media post asking for
- 33:35Speaker 5: help finding Celeste.
- 33:37Speaker 1: As we go to air tonight. David Anthony Burke aka
- 33:40Speaker 1: David aka D four VD who by the way, his
- 33:44Speaker 1: music is Through the Roof on Spotify. Amazing the irony
- 33:52Speaker 1: that said he is radio silent, although we are learning
- 33:57Speaker 1: he's going on social media and monitoring Reddit users everybody
- 34:03Speaker 1: posting about Celeste's murder, and he is trying to control
- 34:09Speaker 1: the narrative as it relates to him. So he's not
- 34:12Speaker 1: totally quiet. He can go online and do that, but
- 34:15Speaker 1: not mention a word of condolence. Speaking of remaining silent,
- 34:19Speaker 1: did he not notice Celeste wasn't there? Did nobody say hey,
- 34:24Speaker 1: we're Celeste? Apparently not, because she was never reported missing
- 34:29Speaker 1: by either him or her parents. Yeah, digest that for
- 34:35Speaker 1: a minute. Nor was his car reported stolen? Interesting? Right,
- 34:41Speaker 1: That's called circumstantial evidence. And again, Burke is innocent. He
- 34:47Speaker 1: will not be guilty unless he has been charged and
- 34:49Speaker 1: proven guilty. In a court of law by a jury
- 34:52Speaker 1: of his peers. Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 35:01Speaker 3: This is real?
- 35:04Speaker 1: Has this enormous gift to the defense just dropped into
- 35:11Speaker 1: their lap It all goes to a myriad of pill
- 35:17Speaker 1: bottles found in D four vdaka David Anthony Burke's home,
- 35:24Speaker 1: A myriad of pill bottles belonging to we here, to
- 35:27Speaker 1: a myriad of people that we're living there, in and
- 35:32Speaker 1: out and in and out based on those pill bottles
- 35:37Speaker 1: and so far a lack of a cod be cause
- 35:39Speaker 1: of death. Does this mean no one will answer up
- 35:43Speaker 1: for a dead teen girl decomposing in a hot car trunk?
- 35:48Speaker 16: Listen bottles of prescription pain medication and drug pair of
- 35:52Speaker 16: fenilia are recovered inside the home, not by LAPD but
- 35:57Speaker 16: by Steve Fisher. The LAPD did not publicly disclose finding
- 36:02Speaker 16: prescription drugs or drug paraphernalia. Other people were staying there
- 36:06Speaker 16: as well, men and women, their personal belongings in guest bedrooms,
- 36:11Speaker 16: bathroom cabinets, and bedside tables. A neighbor reported seeing Celeste
- 36:15Speaker 16: sitting on the curb in front of the house as
- 36:18Speaker 16: if she was waiting for someone to let her inside.
- 36:21Speaker 1: What does it all mean, we know, based on neighbor
- 36:25Speaker 1: accounts and war that Celeste was living in the home
- 36:30Speaker 1: of David Anthony Burke aka D four VD. He says
- 36:34Speaker 1: David straight out to special guest Steve Fisher, joining us
- 36:38Speaker 1: missing person's private investigator, search and rescue specialist, owner of
- 36:42Speaker 1: Search Investigation who is hired by the owner of Burke's mansion. Now,
- 36:48Speaker 1: I want to get to the fact that there is
- 36:51Speaker 1: no cod right now. In my experience, a toxicology report,
- 36:55Speaker 1: a screening would have come back by now, which leaves
- 36:58Speaker 1: me concerns Steve Fisher that we're not going to get
- 37:01Speaker 1: an accurate toxicology report. Why because she basically baked and
- 37:06Speaker 1: melted in that Tesla trunk. What did you find in
- 37:12Speaker 1: D four VD, David Anthony Burk's rented mansion specifically, so.
- 37:18Speaker 2: There was opiate prescription medication.
- 37:20Speaker 15: Uh, there was a few bottles of that, and then
- 37:22Speaker 15: there was perphernalia they used to smoke different types of drugs.
- 37:28Speaker 15: You know, it's not for you know, one type, it's
- 37:32Speaker 15: something you find in a smoke shop, you know.
- 37:34Speaker 1: Steve Fisher, without divulging names, were their names on the
- 37:37Speaker 1: pill bottles of opiates they.
- 37:41Speaker 15: Were and they were hydro codone, they were lard Tab,
- 37:44Speaker 15: generic lord Tab, opiates, pink killers.
- 37:48Speaker 1: To Luke Kenton, joining a senior investigative reporter with Daily Mail,
- 37:53Speaker 1: Luke Kenton, thank you for being with us. You see
- 37:56Speaker 1: where I'm going with this, right, Luke. If there weren't
- 37:59Speaker 1: multi pull pill bottles of opiates, and you know from
- 38:04Speaker 1: what I've seen, and it hasn't all made it into
- 38:07Speaker 1: mainstream media, there were a lot of people in and out,
- 38:11Speaker 1: a core group living there, but a lot of people
- 38:14Speaker 1: in and out of Burke's home. There were a lot
- 38:18Speaker 1: of pill bottles reportedly in Burke's home. Where I'm going
- 38:23Speaker 1: with this is if we don't get a cod cause
- 38:26Speaker 1: of death, if she's too decomposed to get a good
- 38:30Speaker 1: toxicology screen, the argument is going to be Luke Kenton. Oh,
- 38:37Speaker 1: she voluntarily, all on her own, does gobble down a
- 38:42Speaker 1: bunch of opiates and she died. That's how she died.
- 38:44Speaker 1: Everybody we had nothing to do with it, and then
- 38:47Speaker 1: out of fear we hit her body. That's where this
- 38:51Speaker 1: is going, Kenton. Do you have any idea, Luke Kenton,
- 38:55Speaker 1: who the people were going in and out. It was
- 38:58Speaker 1: like Grand Central Station at Burke's mansion and who were
- 39:03Speaker 1: the core people actually living there? Any idea on that.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Have they been identified? And that has just not been released.
- 39:11Speaker 17: They haven't been publicly named. There has been obviously, as
- 39:14Speaker 17: I'm sure you're where, a lot of online sleuthing going
- 39:17Speaker 17: on around this case and trying to piece together the
- 39:19Speaker 17: blanks that the LAPD aren't currently filling in for us publicly.
- 39:24Speaker 17: Some of these individuals and I can't speak to the
- 39:27Speaker 17: people that may or may not have been living at
- 39:28Speaker 17: the home, but there was a group that David was
- 39:31Speaker 17: often seen with in social media. On social media, one
- 39:36Speaker 17: close friend in particular that appeared to be involved in
- 39:38Speaker 17: his music team in some capacity.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Okay, so basically what you're telling me, there's a lot
- 39:44Speaker 1: of people in and out and nobody can confirm it.
- 39:47Speaker 1: We'll see that shot control room that we got from
- 39:50Speaker 1: our friend Harvey leven Over at TMZ. The mansion is
- 39:54Speaker 1: covered in security camps, so we know who goes in
- 39:59Speaker 1: it stays overnight on a daily basis. It's not rocket science, Fisher.
- 40:05Speaker 1: To figure out who's living there. All you have to
- 40:08Speaker 1: do is ping their phone and see is it there
- 40:11Speaker 1: night after night after night. I mean, do I have
- 40:14Speaker 1: to connect the dots here.
- 40:17Speaker 15: No, it's like I said, it's not part to do.
- 40:19Speaker 15: In fact, they put it on their own sociudia. There's constantly,
- 40:22Speaker 15: you know, photos in the house. There's this group of
- 40:24Speaker 15: four or five of them that are always always there
- 40:27Speaker 15: and they're kind of David's you know, groupies or whatever.
- 40:32Speaker 2: You know, they work with them, but they're always around.
- 40:35Speaker 15: So these are people that were definitely using the house
- 40:38Speaker 15: kind of as the home base at least.
- 40:41Speaker 1: You know what, Fisher, Let's just cut it, Let's just
- 40:44Speaker 1: cut through it. All I need is one witness, one
- 40:51Speaker 1: witness to crack one of Burk's insiders to tell the
- 40:56Speaker 1: truth about the night Celeste died. Otherwise no one is
- 41:02Speaker 1: going to be held responsible. That's the way it's heading
- 41:05Speaker 1: right now. Things could change. When you say a core group,
- 41:09Speaker 1: what does that mean. Are you referring to the two
- 41:11Speaker 1: to four people we think lived there with Burke.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Yeah, or at least we're staying there often.
- 41:18Speaker 15: They might have had their own residence too, but they
- 41:21Speaker 15: had to think belongings there. The nightstands were being used
- 41:24Speaker 15: in the master bedroom, there was female products, and the
- 41:27Speaker 15: bathroom was completely filled with things where it wasn't just
- 41:30Speaker 15: an overnight type of thing.
- 41:32Speaker 1: Conspiracy theories abounding on line as to what really happened.
- 41:38Speaker 18: Listen, the David is the last thing is the most
- 41:41Speaker 18: obvious Hollywood satsandic ritual I've ever seen.
- 41:46Speaker 1: That actually hurt my ear. My ears are bleeding. And
- 41:50Speaker 1: that is from at Supreme Tings on TikTok. There's more. Listen.
- 41:56Speaker 19: I'm gonna be honest that David's situation is all the
- 42:00Speaker 19: purest Okay, you guys are all falling for him.
- 42:03Speaker 1: Do you not notice all of us literally singing in
- 42:06Speaker 1: the back of my mind like bo it's a literal
- 42:08Speaker 1: p orsunt. He hit number one on iTunes. Okay, he
- 42:14Speaker 1: lost me with the Kreuella hair right there. I'm out. No,
- 42:17Speaker 1: I'm not putting him on the stand with another crazy theory,
- 42:21Speaker 1: and that is from at light l I g h
- 42:24Speaker 1: T sun Zaane on TikTok. Take a listen to this.
- 42:29Speaker 18: If this is a setup, what a perfect person to
- 42:33Speaker 18: put it on. Right, He's got sad, depressing songs, He's
- 42:36Speaker 18: got songs about murdering. He is the perfect candidate to
- 42:42Speaker 18: set up and frame for a murder.
- 42:44Speaker 1: I don't think David did it.
- 42:46Speaker 18: I know the ruffleson feathers, y'all might get mad, but
- 42:47Speaker 18: I really don't think he did it.
- 42:49Speaker 2: I'm gona be honest. David did not do it. Man,
- 42:52Speaker 2: David did not do it. Like y'ally spread the Newsman,
- 42:56Speaker 2: David did not do it.
- 42:58Speaker 16: I think it's safe to say that David did not
- 43:00Speaker 16: kill nobody from did it do it?
- 43:02Speaker 1: Gang Yong borrow? Just think about it, bro. That is
- 43:05Speaker 1: from AT Killer A three. It is from AT que
- 43:10Speaker 1: Co two, from AT taking hooks, and from AT in
- 43:16Speaker 1: case stacks all on TikTok.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Shocking information uncovered by the LAPD has the investigation spotlight
- 43:24Speaker 5: finally pointing on Burke. Investigators have developed new information that
- 43:28Speaker 5: leads them to believe Celeste likely died in the spring
- 43:32Speaker 5: of this year, and the death is being tentatively treated
- 43:35Speaker 5: as a possible homicide.
- 43:37Speaker 1: What has changed? What has happened? Why is dfour VD
- 43:42Speaker 1: David now reportedly being viewed as a suspect. Will this
- 43:48Speaker 1: result in murder charges? How can this be without a
- 43:50Speaker 1: toxicology report as of yet? But to Dave Matt Crime stories,
- 43:55Speaker 1: investigative report of what I consider to be really validating
- 43:59Speaker 1: what court viewers knew that D four VD is being
- 44:05Speaker 1: considered as a suspect, although it has not been officially announced.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Is the change in the timeline Now we are learning
- 44:14Speaker 1: that police sources believe Celeste was killed back in the
- 44:18Speaker 1: spring and Bob Shell tonight police also looking at a
- 44:24Speaker 1: road trip taken into a remote area by D four
- 44:28Speaker 1: VD in the spring, where he stayed in that remote
- 44:33Speaker 1: area for hours before returning back. I can only assume
- 44:38Speaker 1: this information is coming from his NAV system or is
- 44:42Speaker 1: there a rat within Burks Camp because tonight I definitely
- 44:47Speaker 1: smell a rat. Let's start at the beginning, Dave Mac,
- 44:50Speaker 1: what do you know.
- 44:51Speaker 19: Well, Nancy, we know that D four VD took a
- 44:55Speaker 19: trip to Santa Barbara County, which is about one hundred
- 44:59Speaker 19: miles from the house that he was renting and taking
- 45:01Speaker 19: about two hours to drive. Okay, so he takes this
- 45:05Speaker 19: drive in the middle of the night in the spring
- 45:08Speaker 19: of this year and he stays there for a couple
- 45:12Speaker 19: of hours. Now they say remote area of Santa Barbara.
- 45:16Speaker 19: You've ever been to Santa Barbara. Remote area can include
- 45:19Speaker 19: probably eighty percent of the surrounding area, big area, and
- 45:24Speaker 19: you could actually be there and not be seen for
- 45:27Speaker 19: a long time. He was there for hours. Now they're
- 45:31Speaker 19: also saying they believe I'm talking about. The police investigation
- 45:35Speaker 19: is saying to this source they believe ce Less died
- 45:40Speaker 19: sometime in the spring of twenty twenty five. So we
- 45:45Speaker 19: have Burke driving in the middle of the night to
- 45:48Speaker 19: Santa Barbara County in the spring of twenty twenty five,
- 45:51Speaker 19: and we have them saying Celeste died in the spring
- 45:54Speaker 19: twenty twenty five.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I told Jesse mel Errat because we know, according to
- 45:59Speaker 1: the lea, he the killer did not do this alone.
- 46:03Speaker 1: He had to have help dismembering the body. According to
- 46:07Speaker 1: the report, if she is in fact dead since the spring,
- 46:11Speaker 1: which coincides with that late night trip out to the
- 46:14Speaker 1: remote area near Santa Barbara, You're gonna have to have
- 46:18Speaker 1: a witness. You're gonna have to have somebody rapped. An
- 46:26Speaker 1: arrest is eminent in the dfour VD case as a
- 46:30Speaker 1: witness is refusing to testify in front of a grand jury.
- 46:35Speaker 1: What does that mean now? Unlike a defendant who cannot
- 46:40Speaker 1: be forced to testify, a witness can be put in
- 46:44Speaker 1: jail if they refuse to testify. Straight out to Alexis Tereschuk,
- 46:49Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter Alexis, this is what I know.
- 46:53Speaker 1: I know it's a state's witness, which means it's a
- 46:56Speaker 1: witness that will testify against David Anthony Burke aka d
- 47:01Speaker 1: four VD. It's a female witness against Burke who is
- 47:05Speaker 1: refusing to testify, and she has lawyered up. She's got
- 47:10Speaker 1: the same lawyer as the record exec that just got
- 47:14Speaker 1: a let's see technical legal term in front of the
- 47:18Speaker 1: grand jury. Just wait, guys until you hear what he said.
- 47:22Speaker 1: That said, she's lawyered up female testifying against the four VD,
- 47:28Speaker 1: refusing to come in and she's about to end up
- 47:31Speaker 1: in the can in the pokey for her recalcitrants. What
- 47:35Speaker 1: do you know, Well, you're exactly right.
- 47:39Speaker 20: So there has been a grand jury that has been
- 47:41Speaker 20: called in Los Angeles County and Robert Morgenroth, who is
- 47:45Speaker 20: an executive who's in charge of David's record label, he
- 47:49Speaker 20: testified in front of the grand jury and he was
- 47:51Speaker 20: heard in the hallway outside the grand jury room talking
- 47:55Speaker 20: to his attorneys saying, I didn't even feel like I
- 47:58Speaker 20: needed to be calling the police after she was found
- 48:02Speaker 20: dead because we were on tour. I didn't want to
- 48:04Speaker 20: jeopardize the tour.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Dave mac the person that's getting arrested is the female witness,
- 48:11Speaker 1: and I'm betting, I'm betting that it's somebody that lives
- 48:16Speaker 1: in that house that basically checks up in there and
- 48:21Speaker 1: knows what happened.
- 48:23Speaker 3: Nancy. We were given a huge clue on this a
- 48:26Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago when in some of our reporting
- 48:29Speaker 3: it was that the end of the police had run
- 48:32Speaker 3: that search warrant inside the house and they were able
- 48:36Speaker 3: to determine which person in that house had been sleeping
- 48:40Speaker 3: in which room rere. They talked about how D four
- 48:43Speaker 3: VD had this very tight inner circle. Well, there are
- 48:47Speaker 3: three or four people that were with him constantly and
- 48:50Speaker 3: stayed in that house with him. One of those people,
- 48:54Speaker 3: I guarantee you is a female that they're trying to
- 48:57Speaker 3: get in court. There was also another one, another Kip
- 49:00Speaker 3: that we had and it goes back to when they
- 49:03Speaker 3: said he had help. Whoever cut up the last had help.
- 49:07Speaker 3: It went out, remember on the long drive in the
- 49:09Speaker 3: middle of the night, out in the middle of nowhere,
- 49:12Speaker 3: had help. So we've got a couple of hints here
- 49:14Speaker 3: as to who it is. The scary part of it
- 49:17Speaker 3: is that the same attorney representing his manager also represents
- 49:22Speaker 3: this unnamed female that they're trying to bring into court
- 49:26Speaker 3: to testify it in front of the grand jury.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Let me remind everybody, so, let's was just thirteen years
- 49:31Speaker 1: old when this whole thing cranked up with David Anthony Burke.
- 49:35Speaker 1: She's dead, dismembered, turning into nothing but go and someone
- 49:42Speaker 1: doesn't want to testify, really, someone that potentially stood by
- 49:48Speaker 1: and watched all this happen and did nothing. You can run,
- 49:54Speaker 1: but you can't hide. That female prosecutor knows you your name, dob,
- 50:01Speaker 1: your SSN, social Security number, your address, your mama's name,
- 50:05Speaker 1: your brother's name, your boyfriend's name, your tag number. Go ahead,
- 50:10Speaker 1: go in, go under oath and tell the truth. A
- 50:15Speaker 1: little girl is dead and you're refusing to testify, and
- 50:20Speaker 1: you know another thing to D four f D David
- 50:23Speaker 1: Anthony Burk's manager. Shame on you. You actually said out in
- 50:30Speaker 1: the courthouse hall that you didn't have any duty to
- 50:34Speaker 1: call and report a dead girl in a trunk. All
- 50:38Speaker 1: you wanted to do was continue with the tour. You
- 50:43Speaker 1: know what, conscious pilot just washing your hands and looking
- 50:48Speaker 1: the other way. It ain't working. This time. If you
- 50:53Speaker 1: know or think you know anything about the brutal death
- 50:58Speaker 1: of this little girl, so let's three please call LAPD
- 51:02Speaker 1: two one three four eight six six eight nine zero.
- 51:08Speaker 1: There will be justice in this case. Two one three
- 51:12Speaker 1: four eight six six' eight nine. Zero you can either
- 51:16Speaker 1: get involved be a part of the, solution or you
