SHOCKING TWIST IN CELESTE RIVAS' MURDER MYSTERY: NEW SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE REVEALS TEEN'S FINAL DAYS BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE

The investigation into the murder of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas has taken a dark and twisted turn with the release of new surveillance footage showing the teenager walking down the street just weeks before her disappearance. The chilling images have left investigators stunned, and the public reeling in horror.

CELESTE'S FINAL DAYS

The dismembered body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas was discovered in a Tesla registered to the social media star, 20, real name David Anthony Burke, last week

On March 19, 2024, at around 7:00 am, Celeste Rivas was spotted walking down a street in Lake Elsinore, California. She was wearing a black hoodie and white pants, just like she had on her many previous visits to the local liquor store, where owner Elie Naddaf would often see her come in to buy snacks.

But what's most disturbing is that this isn't the first time Celeste had run away from home. Her family claims she had a history of disappearing, and investigators believe she may have been running back to someone - or something.

DAVID BURKE: THE SINGER WITH A DARK SECRET?

Enter 20-year-old singer D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke), who has been at the center of the investigation since Celeste's dismembered body was found in his impounded Tesla Model Y. The car had been abandoned for days near a Hollywood rental home, just blocks from where Burke had been staying.

Burke's world tour was quietly canceled after the discovery of Celeste's remains, and he retained an attorney who has yet to issue a statement or comment on the case.

BURKE'S TIES TO CELESTE: WAS IT A ROMANCE OR SOMETHING MORE?

Law enforcement previously revealed that Rivas had run away from home multiple times and was described as coming from a 'troubled' family environment

Sources close to Burke claim that he had been dating Celeste for months before her disappearance. The pair would often be spotted together at age-restricted venues, leading many to believe she was an adult.

But what's shocking is that insiders who partied with the duo believed they were romantically linked and thought Celeste was far older than her actual age - around 14 years old!

BURKE'S TEAM CLAIMS HE WAS COOPERATING WITH POLICE... BUT IS HE TELLING THE TRUTH?

Investigators made the grisly discovery after they were called to a Hollywood tow yard to investigate a foul stench coming from the front trunk of Burke¿s impounded Tesla Model Y

Burke's team initially claimed he was fully cooperating with police after the discovery of Celeste's body. However, as more evidence came to light, Burke's representatives went silent.

The singer's demeanor has been described by friends as "super shy, soft spoken and gentle," but investigators are now questioning whether this is just a cover-up for something far more sinister.

WHAT WAS BURKE DOING WITH CELESTE'S BODY?

Rivas was reported missing from her home in Lake Elsinore by her family in May 2024 when she was just 13

Police have not established any direct connection between Celeste's death and Burke, but the discovery of her remains in his vehicle has sparked widespread speculation and unease.

The LAPD has confirmed that they are investigating a possible " homicide" in connection with the case. When approached for comment on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the department told TheScholarlyNote.com: "There are no updates, but we're working tirelessly to bring justice to Celeste's family."

NEW EVIDENCE EMERGES: A SONG THAT COULD HOLD THE KEY TO CELESTE'S MURDER

D4vd has not spoken publicly about Rivas's remains being found in his car; He is pictured in June

Internet sleuths have uncovered an alleged unreleased song by Burke, titled "Celeste_Demo unfin." Leakers claim it was recorded in December 2023, and the lyrics explicitly reference a girl called Celeste.

While the authenticity of the song has not been confirmed, many believe it could hold the key to understanding the events leading up to Celeste's disappearance.

CELESTE'S FAMILY SPEAKS OUT: "WE JUST WANT THE TRUTH"

Celeste's family is demanding answers and justice for their loved one. Her brother, Matthew Rivas, told TheScholarlyNote.com that she had left home on May 4, 2024, to go see a movie with Burke - but never came back.

"We just want the truth," Matthew said. "We need to know what happened to our sister."

As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: David Burke's life will never be the same again.
