1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Hey, they're folks. It is Wednesday, November the nineteenth. Singer

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: David is now finally and formally being called a suspect

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: and the death of a fifteen year old girl who

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: was found in the trunk of his car, And with that,

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes. This

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: is the story we have been following from the absolute

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: very beginning, and from the beginning people were scratching their

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: heads about why he hasn't been called a suspect the

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: past several months.

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: Yes, there have been a lot of curious and interesting

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: questions around this case. Number one, yes, why was David

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: not named a suspect immediately or at least within a

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: few days or weeks? And number two, why have they

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: not ruled this a homicide yet? Those are two questions.

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: And look, we understand it takes time for police to

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: run the test they have to run and obviously make

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: sure that they have all of their evidence in a

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: row before they make these announcements. But it's been months.

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: Her body was found early September, so that's quite some

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: time to be waiting, especially if you're the family.

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: So they finally, it took a while before they even

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: spoke of a homicide, that that word was even used

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: in this case. And again we're talking about a fifteen

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: year old girl in the trunk. How does she get

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: in the trunk? What dismembered, dismembered and body decomposing is

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: how she was found. But if folks don't know what genre,

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: do we say of music? Neo soul. He's twenty years old.

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: David Anthony Burke is his name, but he goes by David.

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: And it's spelled D for v D right, Yes, so

30
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: spelled it?

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 2: Yes, I actually in my head have to say to forbid,

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: so I know how to spell it when I'm actually

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: googling or searching this story.

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: And we and I laughed at you the first time

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: you did it, and now that's what I do every

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: single to have to write his name to forbid, but

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: he helps. It's David, is how you say it?

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, But now we are starting to get some

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: information from the police department, and we haven't had much

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: at all, but we do know. Yes, they have acknowledged

41
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: that David is officially a suspect, and they have told

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: some media that they are certain they are going down

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: the right path for a suspect so that was the

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: closest we got to them saying we got our guy.

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: We know who he is, and they haven't announced what

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: the cause of death is. Now I don't know how

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: much robes they might know about the cause of death.

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: But once that is announced, once that's released, things might

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: move really quickly.

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Yes, they said, once the medical examiner makes that determination,

51
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: then things will progress very quickly. And according to members

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: of the media who have spoken to police, they mentioned

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: they actually got specific about Celeste and her name. By

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: the way, have we said her name Celeste Reevas Hernandez

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: fifteen years old. She actually turned fifteen the day before

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: or her body was found. Police believed that she had

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: been dead for weeks and now they're even saying potentially months,

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: So she never made it to fifteen. She was actually

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: fourteen when she died. But police say that they believed

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: the way her body was dismembered, the process by which

61
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: it was dismembered, they don't think that one person could

62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: have done it by themselves, so they say they are

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: talking to other people who they believe may have been

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: a part of the cover up or the aftermath of

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: this crime. So that is interesting.

66
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: That detail expands this story makes it in that moment.

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: It's one thing to say he's a suspect. Now we're

68
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: talking about suspects, possibility of several people being a part

69
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: of what the death or the dismemberment, we don't know.

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: But this story, it never ever sounded. It's tough to

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: explain this type of thing. It's his car registered to him,

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: parked up the street from where he's living. Her body's

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: in the trunk. Okay, there could be some explanations ropes,

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: but from the very beginning and then his behavior, what

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: we were expecting and what we were wanting from the

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: beginnings to come out. I cannot believe this has happened,

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: this poor girl. I want to get to the bottom

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: of what happened. Stone cold silence. Have we even heard

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: from a rep of his through this whole thing.

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: No, only that he was cooperating with police early on.

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: They did say that. But here's you said, stone cold. Look,

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: if he has something to do with this, if he

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: loved this girl, if he knew this girl the day

84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: her body was found. The following day, he's on a

85
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: stage in Minneapolis, continuing his tour. Yes, that is cold.

86
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: We were scratching our heads about and look a lot

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: of things. He could have been on stays to honor her.

88
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: He could have. I don't. We just didn't know. But

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: in the moment, in that moment, it seemed we say cold,

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: but it seemed borderline tacky, just out of respect to

91
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: bad taste. That's the what I'm looking for. This is

92
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: your car.

93
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, if you had nothing

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: to do with it, a young girl who had been

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: missing for a year and a half was found dismembered

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: and decomposing in your car, you don't go on stage

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: and seeing and you know, be adored by fans.

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: We were trying to understand at the time. And I'm

99
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: not sure who we were talking about the other day,

100
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: but you said, this young girl we forget, don't we

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: see her picture? Child? A child child was in the

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: trunk of his car.

103
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: She was fourteen. Yeah, and when she went missing, when

104
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: her mother put up the flyers and went to police,

105
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: I mean she had been missing, went missing several times.

106
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: There definitely was some issues for her and her family life.

107
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: But she was thirteen when her mother last saw her.

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: She was a child child, So this is really interesting.

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: So we know that what we got this fall the

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: only details we had we knew police went to the

111
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: house that David was renting twenty thousand dollars a month.

112
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: He broke his lease I believe went back home, but

113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: they were seen taking boxes of evidence out of that house.

114
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: TMC had reported that they were looking for blood evidence

115
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: in the home, so we know that they have been

116
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: on the case. We just have had almost zero weeks

117
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: about what's been happening with the case. And yes, David

118
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: has obviously he canceled his tour. He had a big

119
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: tour set for Europe as well, canceled that, so he

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: has just really gone underground at this point.

121
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, I haven't seen a report of where he

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: is or hearing anything from him lately at all. Can

123
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: imagine we are going to hear anything anytime soon.

124
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: The only thing we did here, which is a complete

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: reversal from earlier police have said now that he is

126
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: no longer cooperating with police.

127
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: This all looks bad, but he is innocent until proven otherwise,

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: and always have to caution and pump the brakes no

129
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: matter how bad something might look. We just don't know.

130
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 2: We just don't know now. We still actually don't even

131
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: have full confirmation that David was in a relationship with Celeste.

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: But there is some evidence out there that has been mounting.

133
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: Of course, you've got all these online sluice looking for

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: any sign sign of their relationship in his work, in

135
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: any photos that may have been online, and those are

136
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: all surfacing. There is a song called Celeste that he

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: had out in twenty twenty three, and people are pointing

138
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: to some of the lyrics. Have you read the lyrics?

139
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: And so just to prove at least there was a

140
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: girl that he sung about in twenty twenty three name Celeste.

141
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: The name of his song is Celeste.

142
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And people piece all these things together and now

143
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: this proves anything, and now this proves any type of relationship.

144
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: But given where we are, I mean, people just start

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: to connect some dots and that could be all kinds

146
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: of coincidences, but damn, there are these are stacking up

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: with the tattoos and the songs and the pictures and

148
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: the lyrics and the name and that I mean, yes,

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: their connection seems clear. The affection, even, I would argue,

150
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: seems that way.

151
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Yes, in the pictures. And then even her own mom,

152
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: Celest's mom said that her daughter went missing in April

153
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four and had a boyfriend named David.

154
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Her brother has been talking as well, Matthew Reeves, and

155
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: he said that the family knew that the teen girl

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: knew David. By all accounts, they believe they met online

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: and they think she might have been as young as

158
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: eleven when she first started talking with him online. He

159
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: was young too, so he was a teen at that

160
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: point too, so he was probably sixteen seventeen, but still

161
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: a big age gap between the two and her brother

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: says that his sister vanished when she was on her

163
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: way to see a movie with David. He said she

164
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: was going to the movies with singer David and that

165
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: is the last time he saw his sister.

166
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: That's tough, I mean, obviously this girl had some issues

167
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: with just who knows what her life has been like?

168
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: It seems like nobody knows. Her family hadn't seen her

169
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: in a year or year and a half. What has

170
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: her life been? Where has she been, what has she

171
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: been doing, How's she taken care of herself? How's she eating?

172
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Where does she get a roof over her head? Where

173
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: has she been?

174
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: According to people around David circle, they said that she

175
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: looked older so she was able to. She would go

176
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: out with him, she was in clubs with him, she

177
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: was living with him. This is according to folks who

178
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: are around him, but nothing has been substantiated. I have

179
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: to say, though, I was looking at some of his work,

180
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: and we're not huge fans of his music at all,

181
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: not our genre, and nothing against him specifically, but there

182
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: is a video called Rehab of one of his songs,

183
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: and he was into anime. He loved all of that.

184
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: He in this video, this music video. His anime character

185
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: is very violent and actually dismembers a girl in this video,

186
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: so people are pointing to that. Then with the situation

187
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: at hand, with what happened to Celeste, it's really eerie.

188
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: And there might not that could be a coincidence, but

189
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: that is so eerie.

190
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: They're really stacking up here. This is one of those

191
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: all this stuff on. All you can say is, Okay,

192
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, but let me explain. And

193
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: I would love to hear the explanation, but yeah, I

194
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: just don't just don't want to get too far ahead

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: of it. And we were always cautious when we first

196
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: heard this story and when we first heard about his

197
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: behavior and the concerts, and it just nothing made since

198
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: and we were waiting to hear something ropes and we've

199
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: heard nothing from police. So I don't know what else,

200
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: how else to what else to make of these facts,

201
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: including the last one you're giving about a video. It

202
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: just all looks awful.

203
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: And the lyrics of some of his songs. Romantic Homicide

204
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: is his number one song in fact, and here's the other.

205
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: I just want to point out something about us human nature.

206
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: I get that this happens, but there were many articles

207
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: when after the body was found, and when they were

208
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: rating his home within a few weeks of one another,

209
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: his songs which had not even been they had been

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: so low on any sort of Spotify chart they didn't

211
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: even really register. All of a sudden, for the first

212
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: time in David's musical career, his song Romantic Homicide shot

213
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: into the top ten in late September on Spotify's charts,

214
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: so people started getting I think there was another artist,

215
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: and it was in terrible taste. Was complaining that he

216
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: wished he could get some publicity. Like David. Maybe he

217
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: needed to have something happen so that he could get

218
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: his music played more. But it's disturbing to think that. Yes,

219
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: people were so fascinated by him and the mystery surrounding

220
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: this young girl, his music shot up the charts.

221
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: Look I was I am guilty of that. As a

222
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: matter of research, I didn't know who he was, and

223
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people didn't know who he was.

224
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: I'd never seen the name David before, so being knew

225
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: who he was, She knew that song Romantic Homicide, So

226
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I jumped on to figure out who he was, what

227
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of music if I jumped on to see if

228
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: we had heard any of his songs before, which we

229
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: had not. So yeah, there was a lot of curiosity,

230
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: morbid and otherwise.

231
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I suppose right now and just trying to figure

232
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: out who this guy is and if what people were

233
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: saying or implying could possibly be true. When we come back,

234
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the victim in this case,

235
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: Who is Celeste, who was she, who loved her? And

236
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: how did she go missing for so long? And continuing

237
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: now with this fairly breaking story, we've been waiting to

238
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: hear what might happen in the case of David and

239
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: the young girl who was found dismembered and decomposing in

240
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: the front trunk of his Tesla level. David is now

241
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: officially a suspect in the investigation into her death. We

242
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: still don't have it ruled as a homicide. We are

243
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: waiting for the La County Medical Examiner to make the

244
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: determination what her cause of death was. But this is

245
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: a young girl who actually really had a mysterious upbringing.

246
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: There isn't a lot about her out there. We know

247
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: that she was reported missing from her hometown of Lake elsen, Or, California.

248
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Do you are you familiar with that area. I understand

249
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: it's about a ninety mile drive from Los Angeles, or

250
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: at least from where her body was found. She was

251
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: last seen on April fifth, twenty twenty four, and as

252
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: we reported, her brother said, she was supposedly going to

253
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: the movies with David. And wow, it's just so ironic

254
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: and sad that her body was found the day after

255
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: what would have been her fifteenth birthday.

256
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: What were they looking for her? I mean, I just

257
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: wonder who I think we said this at the very

258
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: beginning when we heard she'd been missing so long, Like,

259
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: who loved her as a kid in southern California? A child?

260
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: What were we talking about? She started going missing? At

261
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: time thirteen thirteen.

262
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: They believe she may have started talking to David online

263
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: around the age of eleven.

264
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: So, I mean, just to think a kid does Yeah,

265
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: it's just it's tragic, Okay, it ended tragically, but it

266
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: was tragic before she ever got to Tesla.

267
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: Look, she had a history of running away, according to

268
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: family members. One of her actually a cousin of hers,

269
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: went on to TikTok. You know, it's interesting people in

270
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: the family, some of them have spoken out a little bit,

271
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: but she claims that she had run away at least

272
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: four times before the last one in April, and that

273
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: she would go and live with extended family. She would

274
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: go and live with an aunt or an uncle or

275
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: someone other than her immediate family. But everyone who described

276
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: her described her as bubbly and sweet and look, we

277
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: have a few pictures that we can go by that

278
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: we can see of her, and she did look older

279
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: than thirteen, for sure, but she did have that sweet smile.

280
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: She was a young girl who had a future. It's

281
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: just incredibly tragic, incredibly sad. And I don't know, I

282
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: just I have gotten more and more concerned by the

283
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: lyrics I have been reading in some of his songs.

284
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: They are violent. They are about being upset about a

285
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: girl finding someone else or leaving him. Or he's even

286
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: put some things on TikTok himself that we're disturbing about

287
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: what he would do ha ha joke lol, if he

288
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: caught his girl looking at another guy. I mean, it's

289
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: a little scary.

290
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Supposed to be art, all right, supposed to just be art.

291
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Folks are now wondering if there's more. Look, we always

292
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: know this. When there is a lack of information or

293
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: official information, people will fill in the blanks. And a

294
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are filling in blinks. The story has

295
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: gone a little wild in a lot of areas I'm

296
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: sure you've seen on the internet. But the facts still remain,

297
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: and the fact is now robes. I'm probably sure plenty

298
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: of police officers the moment this girl was found, had

299
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: in their mind that he was their suspect.

300
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and of course they have to make sure

301
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: they've checked out and exhausted all other potential suspects. But

302
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: now we are talking about suspects with an s potentially here.

303
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: And I am curious because we did have so many

304
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: months of complete silence, two weeks, no information, nothing, I

305
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: think TMZ was finding things here and there, but they

306
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: were getting their information from family members, from folks who

307
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: knew David, folks who knew Celeste. They weren't getting it

308
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: from police. Now that they have officially gone on the

309
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: record and said that David is a suspect, I'm curious

310
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: if more information will be coming out quicker. They know

311
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: that once they make a declaration like this or they

312
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: acknowledge something like this now, the media is going to

313
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: be even more hungry for details and what happens next

314
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: and where this is headed. So I have a feeling

315
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: this is just the beginning and we are going to

316
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: be getting a lot more information in the coming days

317
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: and weeks for sure, and we will of course make

318
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: sure we pass that along to you all because this

319
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: is a developing and morbid but it is a fascinating

320
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: case nonetheless, and we will be on top of it.

321
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: So thanks for listening to us, everybody. I'm Amy Roboch

322
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: alongside TJ. Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
