1 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Wednesday, February twenty fifth, and 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: we are getting a new look at some court documents 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: in the case of singer David who has been named 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: a suspect in the case of a dead fourteen year 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: old girl who was found in the trunk of his tesla. Well, 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: these new court documents make clear that there is a 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: grand jury investigation and he is in fact the target 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: of that investigation. With that, welcome to this episode of 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. This is such a slow moving story 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: or body was discovered last September. Robes Here we are February. 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: Haven't heard a whole lot. We're learning more, I guess 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: on the record now than it seems we've learned in months. 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 2: Yes, we have been waiting for months. 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say at one point we 15 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 3: were checking daily, but certainly we check weekly to see 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: about any updates, any real information surrounding this case. 17 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: And finally, finally, the. 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: Only reason why we're getting some information is because apparently 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: his father doesn't want to cooperate with the investigation, and so. 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: Because of that, court filings had to be made. 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: And now we are getting a clearer picture of what's 22 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: actually happening behind the scenes. Grand juries convene in secrecy, 23 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: and that is why we haven't had really any any 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: verifiable information coming out about this case. 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: But now these documents say that, yes, this grand jury 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: is meeting and they are being asked to decide whether 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: or not charges should be coming against singer David. A reminder, David, 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: it's spelled D four v D. This is a thing 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: a lot of artists are doing now. It's an online thing. 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: It's a TikTok social media type thing, but they replace 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: letters with numbers. But David is his name. David Anthony 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Burke is his real name. Young, young, twenty years old, 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: up and coming artist and ropes. He was on tour 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: last September when her body was discovered. This was a 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: very odd time, quite frankly, because he didn't immediately stop 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: work and stopped touring when word came that a dead 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: teenager was found in his trunk. 38 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: Yes, when word came that the tesla was registered to 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: him and that he was on tour and a badly 40 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: decomposed body of a young girl was in his tesla, 41 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: we thought, oh wow, this case is going to explode 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: within days. But he kept touring. He kept singing, And 43 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: it wasn't until about a week later when police identified 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 3: who the body belonged to, fourteen year old Celestrevas Fernandez, 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: who he has now been romantically linked to. Then and 46 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 3: only then did he cancel that show for that evening 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: and then eventually, and it took him a couple days 48 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: before he canceled the remainder of his US tour and 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: eventually his European tour. But this was his big breakout tour. 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: This was his up. 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,559 Speaker 3: And coming I'm about to be a massive international success 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: tour when this all happened. 53 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: And so as we want to tell you now Robes 54 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: that you just laid out, we go from that to 55 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: very little information trickling out. This young lady's body was 56 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: released to her family, they had a funeral for her, 57 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: but still we couldn't get is there an official cause 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: of death? You remember good. 59 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: They wouldn't even say homicide. 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: They wouldn't even say at the time, that's right, And 61 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: the medical examiner out there was pissed because what they 62 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: sealed and wouldn't let him release any information. 63 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: So I believe from what we have gathered, there is 64 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: a cause of death. They do have one. The medical 65 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: examiner came to a conclusion. However, yes, he has been 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: ordered not to release any of the findings from the autopsy, 67 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: his assessment. 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: As a medical examiner. All of that has been sealed. 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: And he actually spoke out against the LADA saying, you 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: know what, yes, fine, I'll abide by this order, but 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: it doesn't change the outcome in these cases. 72 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: So he was frustrated that he was probably getting. 73 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: Hounded hourly by reporters and he was being told ordered 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: by the court to not release any information. 75 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: So he did publicly express his displeasure in that. 76 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: All right, And I should have said this apologies, should 77 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: have said this at the absolute very top. But I 78 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: just want to give your heads up. We're going to 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: share some disinformation that's court filing now, and it is 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: some pretty disturbing stuff. I just want to give you 81 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: a heads up. We will read directly from this court filing. 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: And again, this was Robes his parents. David's parents are 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: in the Houston area and authorities were trying to get 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: them to come to LA for this grand jury testimony. 85 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: They were pushing, they were fighting it, and they have 86 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: lawyers who were saying no, it's unlawful. So that was 87 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: the back and forth that we've given that context. This 88 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: now was a part of that court filing explaining why 89 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: they wanted the parents to come because their son was, 90 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: as they put it in here Robes the target of 91 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: the investigation. We'll share the details now, and again just 92 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: the heads up, some of this stuff is disturbing. 93 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: Yes, So the court filing reads like this that there 94 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: is now pending in the Superior Court of the County 95 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, the above entitled grand jury investigation by 96 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: the State of California against target David Burke, wherein target 97 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: may be involved in having committed the following criminal offenses 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: against the laws of the State of California, to wit, 99 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: one count of murder. It is alleged in this case 100 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: that the target, and when we say target, they're referring 101 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: to David, may be involved in the death of fourteen 102 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: year old victim, Celeste Revs Hernandez, who may have been 103 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: the victim of foul play. Her severely decomposed, dismembered body 104 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: was found in the front truck of Target's Tesla on 105 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: September eighth, twenty twenty five. 106 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: Yes, it is, but we they named him an account. 107 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Remember I don't think there was a big statement or 108 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: a big reveal, certainly not a press conference when it 109 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: became known he was a suspect. Do you remember where 110 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: we got that information from? 111 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 3: I remember it happened in November and there was an 112 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: acknowledgment from several police sources to reputable media outlets that 113 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 3: David Anthony Burke was the suspect in the death investigation 114 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: of celest Hernandez. And so it wasn't an official announcement 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 3: there we go, but there were several sources where every 116 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: media outlet felt comfortable reporting. 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: That as fact. 118 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: And that's important to note because it makes what you 119 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: just read here from the court filing that much more important. 120 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: This is on the record, definitive now telling us for 121 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: the first time since last September, since this young lady's 122 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: body was found, on the record, definitive singer David is 123 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: the guy that they believe, at least authorities believe killed 124 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: this girl. 125 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: Yes, and that is significant, And this is the first 126 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: time we have absolute, irrefutable confirmation that that is in 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: fact the case. 128 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: Oh and we don't we should say, I mean, rose 129 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: was the last time we heard a peep from him, 130 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: not social media anything, But there has any even been 131 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: a sighting of some kind to where anybody has any 132 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: idea where he is. 133 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 3: Can you imagine how many people. I'm sure there is 134 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of money. Obviously there's a tremendous amount 135 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: of interest on anyone who can capture a photo of him. 136 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: And now maybe after this release of documents, his parents 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: as well. They know he lives in the Houston area, 138 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: or at least his family did, and that is where 139 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: the tesla was registered to this. 140 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: Town in Texas. So everyone has assumed and presumed he 141 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: has been living with his parents in Texas, but I 142 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: haven't seen a photo or any actual physical confirmation that 143 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: that's the case, and we. 144 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: Haven't heard anything from him certainly or his camp. That 145 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: was something very very early on, but it wasn't much 146 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: of anything from somebody attached to him, but it was 147 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: reported not weeks ago, maybe a couple months. 148 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: Ago, he was not cooperating with the investigation, correct, And 149 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: the only other information we got was that one of 150 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 3: his best friends had also actually been arrested because he 151 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: too was refusing to testify before the grand jury, and 152 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: of course that is not allowed if you are Saphena. 153 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: If you are compelled to testify in front of the 154 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: grand jury, they're going to make sure you do, and 155 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: if you refuse, they will confind you and arrest you. 156 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: So that's I believe. 157 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: The last time we even reported or updated this case 158 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: was that one of his good friends had been arrested 159 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: for failing to appear in front of the grand jury. 160 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: But folks, stay here, we will share next and again 161 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: I just want to give you the heads up in 162 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: the warning some of this stuff is a little gruesome 163 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: to hear, but we will share again the new details 164 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: we're also getting from this filing about the tesla when 165 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: it was reported abandoned, when police came and checked it out, 166 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: when they came to the impound lot, and what they found. 167 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: We are hearing for the first time exactly what was 168 00:08:53,080 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: in that tesla. 169 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 3: Welcome back everyone as we discuss this major new development 170 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: where officially now we are hearing we are seeing in 171 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 3: court documents that David Anthony Burke, singer David is officially 172 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: the target of a grand jury investigation looking into the 173 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: death into the murder of fourteen year old Celeste Reves Hernandez. 174 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: You know, we had been referring to her as a 175 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: fifteen year old.

These details 179 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: are now on the record from police about what they found. 180 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 3: But clearly she had been gone for quite some time, 181 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: and so it's fair to now say she was fourteen 182 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: years old at the time of her death. 183 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: That is so young, that is, I know, it's sad 184 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: at any point, but just fourteen. Think about that, you know, And. 185 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: So that we talked about this before as well, what 186 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: the difference is between fourteen and a fifteen year almost. 187 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. And she went missing when she 188 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 2: was just thirteen. 189 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: She'd been missing for at least a year, and several 190 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: times over the past year and a half had been 191 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: reported missing. So she was again some trouble in this 192 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: young lady's life and forward to end in the trunk 193 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: of a tesla makes it all the more tragic. So 194 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: we're getting some details here, more details about the discovery 195 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: of our body in that tesla. So this court filing 196 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: goes on to say that the police received a phone 197 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: call from the manager of the Hollywood Area Official Police Garage. 198 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: The manager stated a black Tesla Model X had been 199 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,479 Speaker 1: impounded as an abandoned vehicle by the Department of Transportation 200 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: on September fifth, twenty twenty five. Now, the manager told 201 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: police there was a strong smell of decay coming from 202 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: the vehicle, which was attracting flies. Now ropes, we understood 203 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: generally that detail about this case, but this now goes 204 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: much much further than that. 205 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: Yes, because all the information we were getting was from reports. 206 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 3: This is the actual report, and it goes on to say, 207 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: and again this is pretty graphic. LAPD detectives responded to 208 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: the Hollywood tow yard to investigate. Detectives approached the vehicle, 209 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 3: which was parked on the upper deck of the impound lot, 210 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: and immediately noticed a smell of decaying biological material consistent 211 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 3: with the decomposing corpse, coming from the front storage compartment 212 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: of the vehicle. 213 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: You can only imagine, bro, this was September. It's it's 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: southern California, it's warm. They think the body had been 215 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: in there for a while, so who knows how long 216 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: you can just think. Again, it was reported early on 217 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: about the smell and the older was noticed pretty simply, 218 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: pretty quickly. 219 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: Yes, but this unmistakable. 220 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, just in our careers, unfortunately I have on two 221 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 3: different occasions. It is a smell you never forget and 222 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: it is there's no other smell like it. I'm sure 223 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 3: the detectives knew exactly what they were about to find. However, 224 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 3: this was even more gruesome when you hear the details 225 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: because detectives, yes, then had to obtain a search warrant 226 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 3: for the vehicle, and when the front storage compartment was opened, 227 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: detectives observed observed a black cadaver bag covered with insects 228 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: and a strong odor of decay. Utilizing black latex gloves, 229 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: detectives partially unzipped the bag and observed a decomposed head 230 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: and torso. Investigators and criminalists from the Los Angeles County 231 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: Department of the Medical Examiner responded then to the towyard 232 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 3: to process the decomposed body. Upon removing the cadaver bag 233 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: from the front storage compartment, it was discovered the arms 234 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: and legs had been severed from the body. A second 235 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: black bag was discovered underneath the cadaver bag. Upon opening 236 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 3: the second bag, the dismembered body parts were discovered. 237 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: She's fourteen troubled. That is in just an awful way 238 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: to hear of the end of the life of a 239 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: fourteen year old child. Rbes the details a herd we 240 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: knew decomposing this membered. I think those things. 241 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: Have been out there, but this is confirmation. 242 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: This is I mean, we say it all the time. 243 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: We cover a lot of stories. We watch a lot 244 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: of true crime stories, and the ones having to do 245 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: with this memberment of a body. We just had a 246 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: trial we watched that had a guy was accused of 247 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: chopping up his wife's body. When you add that element, 248 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: it's just there's a it's hard to get your head 249 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: around somebody doing that or being capable of doing that. 250 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: And that's why I guess Scrope some of these stories 251 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: are so fascinating. We just don't understand. 252 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: You can't imagine someone mentally being able to do that, 253 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: especially at that young of an age, to another child. 254 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: It's just it's hard to. 255 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 3: Get your head around that anybody could be capable of it, 256 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 3: but certainly this rising, young, attractive pop star who had 257 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: his whole future ahead of him. 258 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: It's just so disturbing. 259 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: And I also just think of those poor investigators, and 260 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: I know that they're trained for this and they had 261 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: to prepare themselves for what they would find with the 262 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: smell they had in front of them. But still to 263 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: see that, even to read it, it's hard to process. 264 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 3: I cannot imagine seeing it and having to have that 265 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: stay with you because it would never leave you. 266 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: It's just awful to think about. 267 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: But yes, police are looking for answers, and so they 268 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: want to speak specifically from what I've read, to David's father, 269 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: they say that his testimony is quote material and necessary 270 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,359 Speaker 3: to the investigation. 271 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: And they pointed out that David and. 272 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: His father have a very close relationship somehow that was 273 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: a big part of this, that he knows him, probably 274 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: like no one else. 275 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting as well. They want to 276 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: fly him out. They offered two round trip plane tickets, 277 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: transportation from the airport to the hotel and everything that 278 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: we're taking care of everything, and they're still getting pushed back. 279 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: And as far at least right now, there's no indication 280 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: that he has agreed and that he will be testifying, 281 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: that the parents will be testifying. But movement, even though 282 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: we weren't aware of it, there were some movement happening 283 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: behind the scenes on the s CAP it was. 284 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: Yes, it was happening behind the scenes, and they've been 285 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: trying This is now being made public. The local Houston 286 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: station got their hands on these court documents. But they 287 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: have been requesting David's father and his parents to testify 288 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: starting February third. They're saying the testimony shouldn't last any 289 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: more than three days. So if it's now February twenty fifth, yeah, 290 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 3: this back and forth or them trying to negotiate getting 291 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: them to this grand jury in California from Texas has 292 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: been going on now for around two weeks, it appears, 293 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: and so we will continue to follow where this case goes, 294 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: and eventually I would believe that his. 295 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: Parents would have to figure it out. 296 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: They'll have to negotiate it on whatever terms both parties 297 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: can agree to. But this case is moving forward and 298 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 3: it looks like we will be getting some movement on 299 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: this case at least in the weeks to come, and 300 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: we will certainly be following it for you. 301 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: So we thank you as always for listening to us.
