It is Monday, January twenty sixth, and 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: an arrest has been made high to the death of 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: a fourteen year old girl who was found in the 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: trunk of singer David's car. But David is not the 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: one under arrest, and the person under arrest isn't under 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: arrest for murder. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJS. 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: We tried to explain road. We have been waiting since 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: last September for some kind of words, some kind of arrest, 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: some movement, even the naming of a suspect in this case. 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: But we got an arrest. 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: But this takes some explaining, Yes, it certainly does. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 3: So we of course, are talking about Celeste Rives Hernandez, 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 3: the fourteen year old girl who had been missing for 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 3: about a year and a half, who was found in 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 3: the front trunk of a tesla. She her body had 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 3: been badly decomposed, it had been dismembered, and the tesla 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: was registered to singer David. So yes, David's friend now 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 3: who we know has appeared in videos and photos online 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 3: and publicly with David over the years. His name is 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: Neo Langston, twenty three year old social media streamer. 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: He has been arrested. 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: Authorities found him in Montana after he failed to appear 23 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: as a witness before a grand jury. That is the 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: charge he is facing. That is actually a felony, and 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 3: he was extradited from Montana to Los Angeles. 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 2: So a lot of. 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: Dots are being or connections are being made between the 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: fact that David's good friend who has been seen out 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: with him multiple times, has now been taken into custody 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: and handed over to California officials because he has refused 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: to appear as a witness before a grand jury. Now 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: most people are connecting the dots and saying there is 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: a grand jury that is going on that's been going 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 3: on since November as prosecutors are trying to put together 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: their case. Most people believe that charges are coming at 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: some point for singer David. But it's been four months 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 3: and there's been nothing. There's been no word, there's been 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: no information coming from the LAPD period. 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess they're getting their ducks in a row 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: and this. We still don't have a lot of information 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: on this. We just know this guy has been hauled in. 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: I have a general idea of what it was, but 43 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: still not getting a lot of specifics on what his 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: connection necessarily is to any case having to do with David. 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: Yes, so we know that this is what they have confirmed. 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 3: Helena Police out in Montana confirmed that they did assist 47 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: detectives from the LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division. So that's where 48 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: a lot of people are saying, Hey, that is the 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: exact division that is handling the Celesti Reves Hernandez case, 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: the exact division that is investigating David as a suspect 51 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: in her death. So those two things are very connected. Now, 52 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 3: they did release a mug shot. Did you get a 53 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: chance to look at it? What did you think? 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Oh, so like a young kid taking a Yeah, I 55 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: didn't think much of it, to be honest with you. 56 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: A lot for some reason. 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was smiling, yeah, a lot of Yeah, A 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: lot of folks pointed out just how bizarre it was 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: that it was almost like he was posing for his 60 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: selfie in his own mugshot. He was bizarrely smiling a big, 61 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 3: wide smile. He's twenty three years old, David's twenty, so 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 3: they're around the same while they're in the same age bracket. 63 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: But yes, so he was booked into the Detention Center 64 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: in Montana, held without bond there, then transferred to Los 65 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: Angeles Police custody and he was booked into La custody 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: just around midnight this weekend Friday into Saturday morning, and 67 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: then by the next day he was released. He posted bail, 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: according to court officials, and that bond was set at 69 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: six stee thousand dollars, so not a small fee for 70 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: him to get out of jail at least awaiting the 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: next hearing facing that felony charge that he is now facing. 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, no word on when he's going to be 73 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: in court again, so we don't know where this is 74 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: going to go. 75 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: Uh yeah. 76 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: So this is and look, people are desperate for our answers. 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: We even did a podcast a couple weeks ago with 78 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: the first of the year, trying to just bring back 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: this story to remember and to remind listeners that this 80 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: is I mean, this is about as explosive of a 81 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: case as you can imagine for this burgeoning singer, this 82 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: twenty year old David who was on a upwards trajectory, 83 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: a meteoric rise, actually going out on tour, going out 84 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 3: on his first international tour, when this young girl's body 85 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: is found in his tesla, and yet to date we 86 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: still have heard nothing from him and nothing from his 87 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: camp at all. 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: No, I guess that's what they tell you do in 89 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: a case like this, right, You're supposed to sit down, 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: shut up, and be quiet. And yeah, we haven't even 91 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: gotten good word lately about where even he might be. 92 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, he has gone dark for literally months now. 93 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 3: Yes, so his name, by the way, officially is David 94 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: Anthony Burke. And even though yes, we did get word 95 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: officially in November from law enforcement that he is a suspect, obviously, 96 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: he has still not been charged. And you may remember 97 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: his tour eventually was canceled, but he continued out on 98 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: tour even when this body was found. It wasn't until the. 99 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: Body was named. 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: And I hate to even put it that way, but 101 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: this young woman's name was revealed, So le'srievas Hernandez. When 102 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: her name was revealed, that was the day. That was 103 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: the evening that he finally did cancel one of his 104 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: concert and then it was a domino. In fact, he 105 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: ended up canceling the next couple of shows and then 106 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: ultimately his entire tour that was supposed to take him 107 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: into Europe, and we have not heard from him since. 108 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: And while his camp initially said he was cooperating with police, 109 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: by midfall, late fall we heard from police that he 110 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: was officially no longer cooperating. It seems remarkable given the 111 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: circumstances of the case. 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: Which part is remarkable, just. 113 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: The fact that we've heard nothing from him. We've heard 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: nothing from his camp. There's been and look, I get 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: that lawyers tell their clients don't speak, and yet still 116 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: when you're accused of something this heinous. 117 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: If there's so. 118 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: Much going on online, I mean, this has gone bananas 119 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: online because there's been such an emptiness, there's been such 120 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: a vacuum of information. 121 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: People are filling it in. 122 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, that is what people do. But now at 123 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: this point, I mean, he's never even said I Mahart 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: goes out to our family, just the most basic of things. 125 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: It's not an admission of guilt or innocence. It's just 126 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: it's just what a human being does. When a human being, 127 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, dies, you would say something. And so that, yes, 128 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: but doesn't mean he's guilty of anything. 129 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: It certainly doesn't. 130 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 3: But this latest twist, now knowing that, look, the idea 131 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: that one of his good friends has now been arrested, 132 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: has now been charged with a felony, and is now 133 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: I don't know what the next steps are if you, 134 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 3: I mean, if you can compel someone to testify in 135 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: front of the grand jury, you force them to show up. 136 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: Can you take the fifth when you're testifying in front 137 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: of the grand jury if you know something that might somehow. 138 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: Make you guilty of some crime. 139 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the rules are and how they 140 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: can force this twenty three year old to sit in 141 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: front of a grand jury. 142 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: Not exactly. 143 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Yes, this has happened plenty of times. They will put 144 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: you in jail if you don't testify. So he has 145 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: to see what that's worth them. 146 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that remains to be seen. Well, I'm sure. 147 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: Look, the entire country has been just spinning, and certainly 148 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: those folks in Montana, along with so many people in 149 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: the country dealing with this weather and so courts have 150 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: been off. We're actually following a number of trials right 151 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: now that are on hold right now because of the weather. 152 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: So we're going to follow this one. 153 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: But when we come back, we're going to tell you 154 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: about what authorities have said about this. David investigation that 155 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: it does remain active and that multiple people may have 156 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: been involved in a part of the disposal of miss 157 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: Hernandez's body, and the welcome back everyone to this episode 158 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: of Amy and TJ, where we are following a new development. 159 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: There haven't been many in singer David in the investigation 160 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: into whether or not he played a role in that 161 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: young fourteen year old girl's body that was found in 162 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: the front trunk of his tesla so many months ago. 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 3: Her body was discovered on September eighth, It was a 164 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: day after her fifteenth birthday. She had been reported missing 165 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: for a year and a half and police have acknowledged 166 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: that there was a relationship between the two, between Celeste 167 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: and between David. They've acknowledged that he is a suspect, 168 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 3: but they have shout to this case out now pretty 169 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: much to any public scrutiny. In terms of any leaks, 170 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: there have been none. The medical examiner has even publicly 171 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 3: come out and said that he cannot release cause of death. 172 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 3: There is a court order that basically is putting everything 173 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: under lock and key to make sure no details get 174 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: out before prosecutors are ready for them to do so. 175 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: They have run a tight ship including and look, we 176 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 3: know granduriy proceedings are secret, but they have said nothing 177 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 3: about this that has been reportedly going on since November. 178 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what? 179 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: Oh yeah? 180 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: So look, I mean there's a bunch of high profile cases. 181 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: We can't believe it's gone this long, and with one 182 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: like this where it's such a clearer, it seems so 183 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: clear who your suspects would possibly be, and seems so 184 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: clear that you have a homicide. Look, this is LA though, 185 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: They've used to scrutiny and high profile cases, so I'm 186 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: not surprised they might want to get their. 187 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: Ducks in a row. 188 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: They're keeping this quiet. But of course, now having to 189 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 3: go after this friend who didn't show up for testimony 190 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 3: certainly has caused a lot of headlines, a lot of 191 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: renewed interest in a case that never really went away. 192 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 3: But certainly people are chomping at the bit to find 193 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: out what police may know, what direction their investigation is heading, 194 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 3: because this grand jury reportedly has been convened, like I said, 195 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: I believe since November, and or it is that they 196 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: say it may continue through February, but there have been 197 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: plenty of reports saying that in the coming weeks there 198 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: should be charges at some point, but man, we've been 199 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 3: waiting those waiting for those potential charges to be released 200 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: for months now, and there's no rush at this point. 201 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: Police can take their time. They don't have to rush 202 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: to judgment. And many times the grand jury route is 203 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: the best route because they hand down indictments after reviewing testimony. 204 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: The defense doesn't get to present their case. But certainly 205 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: this is the way prosecutors vet out a case. Do 206 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: we have enough evidence? And as we watch enough trials, 207 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: that certainly is very important before you take it to 208 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: a jury. 209 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see in this one, but yeah, very curious 210 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: to see what they come back with. Is a trial 211 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: and something we literally follow every day. 212 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we of course will keep our ear to 213 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: the ground and let you all know anytime, at any 214 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: point we hear anything about this developing story. But we 215 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Roebuck alongside 216 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: my partner TJ. 217 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
