1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, September seventeenth. A body

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: found in the trunk of a car earlier this month,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and that car was registered to a singer considered one

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: of the brightest young stars in music. That body has

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: now been identified as that of a fifteen year old girl,

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Rose.

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: The singer is David. The story has been percolating for

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Today this new development, it sounds

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: like this story is now starting to roll a different direction.

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: Perhaps that's correct because the missing person has now been identified.

11
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: TMZ is reporting that the missing person has been identified

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: as fifteen year old Celeste Revs Hernandez. That is who

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: we now believe was inside the trunk of David's Tesla

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: that was impounded.

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: So to get you all caught up here and robe

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: to be honest, I wasn't familiar with David. I wasn't

17
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: familiar with David or his music, but he is wildly

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: popular online. We said it to any of our daughters

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: and they immediately jumped. No matter if the youngest we

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: have in house is twelve, she immediately knows who this

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: guy is and what's going on. But he, like I

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: think a number of singers can credit their success to

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: viral videos, TikTok.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: TikTok and gaming. He didn't. He wanted to basically put

25
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: things up on TikTok because he's a big gamer. But

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: he couldn't use music that was copyrighted, so he used

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: his own. He started making his own music and it

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: caught on, it went viral, and now he's signed with

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: a record company, he's on a world tour. I mean,

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: big things have happened to him very quickly.

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: What was it you said, You've been doing more of

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: a deep dive on his background and whatnot. But what

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: was the publication that actually said he was that name

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: of number one? A couple of years ago.

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: It was Billboard magazine. This isn't just any old rag.

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: This is a big deal in the music industry. So

37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Billboard magazine had him at the top twenty one under

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: twenty one, and he was number one. He was eighteen

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: when they did the big interview with him. But yeah,

40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: they discussed him as this big rising star. I talked

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: about how he grew up singing in church, how his

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: parents were always there by his side and supporting him

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: and rooting him on. His sister gave him the idea

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: to create his own music to put up on TikTok

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: so sounded like this, and he very well. Maybe this

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: wholesome kid who came from a great family who supported

47
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: him and his music career is literally taking off. He's

48
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: twenty years old. Well he's still he's twenty years old.

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Old, okay, so, and he's successful right now, folks, he's

50
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: on tour as millions and millions of listeners every single

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: month online. That stream storygo September eighth, Los Angeles impound lot.

52
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: They get a call police do about a foul odor,

53
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: and they show up and sure enough, there's a body

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: in the trunk. Now, I have read several reports and

55
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: some of you, but from the most part for what

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: I recognized robes the body was not in good shape.

57
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: They said, actually that the body was not intact. That

58
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: was how they described it. So it was interesting. They

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: didn't say dismembered, they didn't say decapitated. They just said

60
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: not intact. They said that it had been decomposing for

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: quite some time, So it didn't just happen in the

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: last few days. This body had been there for a while.

63
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: And they described the body basically by the clothing. They

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: said it was going to take a while for them

65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: to be able to identify the body because of the

66
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: significant amount of decomposition. But she had a tube top on,

67
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: and they also said she had black, wavy hair, and

68
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: they said she had a tattoo on her finger and

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: it said on her index finger, and so that was

70
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: a very distinguishing thing on her body and they were

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: trying to they were hoping that would help them identify her.

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: And that turns out to be another significant part of

73
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: this story that we will get into in just a moment.

74
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: But Robe, it struck me at the time, and you

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and I were debating because we've seen the story out

76
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: there for a while, and David has been on a

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: world tour. He has been touring, I believe currently on

78
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: the West coast, Yes, the US, yes, right now. But

79
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: when the story first broke, did he not go on

80
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: stage that night?

81
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Yes?

82
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I think he continued he was somewhere else, but he

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: continued to perform.

84
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: He has continued to perform, and he has not made

85
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: a public comment. His spokesperson has only told the media

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: that he is fully cooperating with police in the investigation.

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: But that's the only acknowledgment that he or his team

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: has even made about this story. But today the story

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: just got very real, very dark, now that we're learning

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: this body was a fifteen year old girl. This body

91
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: was badly decomposed. This body was of a young girl who,

92
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: according to her mother told TMZ, had a boyfriend named David.

93
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: So the young lady is fifteen years old. Again, remind you,

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: the car was only there for two days at the

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: impound lot. Badly decomposed body, so only the assumption can

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: be made the body had this person had been dead

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: for quite some time. You also pointed out robe. So

98
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: have we said yet this young lady had been missing

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: for quite some time.

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Her mother said that she had been missing for over

101
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: a year, and in fact, you can go online and

102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: see there is a missing person poster that was circulating

103
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: about her. But she was last seen April fifth, twenty

104
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: twenty four. They described her as five three, one hundred

105
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: and twenty pounds and they said she was thirteen. I mean,

106
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: that is missing. That is heartbreaking. So she's turned fifteen,

107
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: so it has been about a year and a half

108
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 2: give her to that she's been missing and her mom

109
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: told TMZ that as soon as they described that it

110
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: was a young it was a woman, black wavy hair,

111
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: and when they said the tattoo, the tattoo on her

112
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: index finger, she said she was sure it was her daughter.

113
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: Okay, so at least police right now have not put

114
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: out an official cause of death. The car again, they say,

115
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: is a registered to David Anthony Burke. Stage name David,

116
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: And if you're not familiar, we're saying David. But he

117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: spells his name in a unique, very now kind of way.

118
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I guess that's what the kids do.

119
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: I thought his name was deforvid because it's d well.

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people I think of a

121
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: certain age would absolutely think that because it is spelled

122
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: D four VD. So isn't that deforvid? It was. It

123
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: was quite It's David.

124
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: That morning was quite interesting going back and forth and

125
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: hearing you continuing to call him that. But but yes,

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: he goes by stage name of David. We mentioned a

127
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: moment ago Robes and this is something TMZ again pointed

128
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: out and is on top of the story, pointed out

129
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the tattoo that the young lady has, says on the

130
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: right index finger, I believe he just says, shush, She's

131
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: not the only one who has it.

132
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 2: David has the exact same tattoo on his right index finger,

133
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: and so that is a link that a lot of

134
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: folks are pointing to right now. Also, of note, the

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: Tesla that she was found in, which is registered to David,

136
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: has a Texas license plate. He lives in Houston, Texas

137
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: at least that's his hometown, and it was never reported stolen.

138
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: That is a very significant fact.

139
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Now. I saw some I can't remember much publication, and

140
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: I apologize because I do want to give them proper attribution.

141
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: But I saw us telling them that they wanted to

142
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: point out that he has several cars registered to him.

143
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: You saw this as well. You're checking your head so

144
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: trying to point out just because this car is registered

145
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: to him, it does not mean he was driving it

146
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: or anywhere near it, or even knew this young lady.

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't at all. But Robes it seems at this

148
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: point he is now taking this, in my opinion, with

149
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: the type of seriousness he should have taken maybe in

150
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the first place. I was shocked when he kept performing

151
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: knowing this story was out there, not coming out, and oh,

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: my god, my heart goes out to this family and

153
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: this young lady. I'm sorry, I'll help any way I can.

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Instead silence and going on as if nothing has happened.

155
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: That was disturbing. And of course any laurier would tell

156
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: you not to get out and make a statement, but

157
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: you could say at least something I can't give, I

158
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: can't get specific. I just want to let you know

159
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: that I had nothing to do do with this, or

160
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: at least just say something and say your heart goes

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: out to whoever the family members are of this person

162
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: found in your car. You are working with police to

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: figure out how this could have possibly happened. So what

164
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: innocent human beings doems like even if you were trying

165
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: to be careful and legally protect yourself, if you were innocent,

166
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: you would still know saying nothing would be a sign

167
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: of being somehow involved or having some knowledge that you

168
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: wouldn't want people to know about. I mean it just

169
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: it's not a good look.

170
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: And let's be clear here, there is no one has

171
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: suggested there. Police haven't identified a suspect of any kind.

172
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: They even came back and apologized for even suggestion this

173
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: might be a homicide when they first started this case.

174
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: So there is no one officially suggesting that this was

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: a homicide and that they are looking for a killer

176
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: out there on the loose, or that David would even

177
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: be a suspect. No one is saying that, and no

178
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: one should suggest that. The only thing now robes I

179
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: think that elevates the story for me at least, is

180
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: that he is canceling shows, is that he is now

181
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: taking a step back from the spotlight. He is now

182
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: looking at the story differently, perhaps from a pr standpoint,

183
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: or anybody can speculate what else might be going on.

184
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Yes, that is a significant development that just happened. He

185
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: was scheduled to go on at eight pm tonight in Seattle.

186
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: He had a show. People bought tickets, and it now

187
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: appears he has canceled that show. He has by doing so,

188
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: put his worldwide tour on pause. We don't know what

189
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 2: will come in the following days and his other schedule shows.

190
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 2: No one has mentioned anything beyond tonight. But that is

191
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: a significant development that he has canceled his show this evening.

192
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: And also there are some people out there who do

193
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: business with him who are certainly taking this seriously and

194
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: second guessing whether or not they should be in business

195
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: with him at all. All right, we continue now here

196
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: on Amy and TJ with singer David Now canceling shows

197
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: after news came that the body found in the back

198
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: of a car registered to him has been now identified

199
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: as a fifteen year old girl who has been missing

200
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: for a year and a half. Who want to make

201
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: sure we're clear here rose this. No one is suggesting

202
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: he was near this car. No one is suggesting he

203
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: had anything to do with it. Police aren't suggesting he's

204
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: a suspect. They've already been saying this is a homicide.

205
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: What they are saying right now is they found this body,

206
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: they know who it is, and they know the car

207
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: at least is registered to him.

208
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: They're trying to determine a cause of death right now,

209
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: but because of the decomposition, it's incredibly difficult. So it

210
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: is going to take a while for them to see

211
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: if they can figure out manner of death, because that

212
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: will be important. But I would argue, I don't understand

213
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: how you could possibly end up in a trunk not

214
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: intact and it not be homicide. So I just let's

215
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: just be let's just call it call it what it

216
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: is it's so set.

217
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: What was going on in this young lady's life. You know,

218
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: somebody thirteen years old went missing? Is someone looking for her? Right?

219
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Did somebody care enough about her?

220
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: Her mom did? Her mom had missing posters? Her mom

221
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: hadn't circulated.

222
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Everywhere she really I didn't realize.

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, there were missing posters on her if you

224
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: look it up, her mom had them circulated, that she

225
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: put them up around town. She was begging anyone with

226
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: any information.

227
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: For a year and a half.

228
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: Yes, she's been April fifth, twenty twenty three, that is

229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: the day she was last seen and her mom had

230
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: flyers up her mom was looking for She was.

231
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Thirteen years old at the time. She would have been

232
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: fifteen years old. Now, oh that's tough. So yeah, So David,

233
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I was mentioning before that. I was. I was surprised

234
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: that he continued with his world tour, and I believe

235
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: even performed the day the news broke that the body

236
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: was found again in a car registered to him only.

237
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: But other folks that he's in business with took note

238
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: of this and took it very seriously. Even before the

239
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: identity of this.

240
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little bit. It was last week

241
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: so he you know, again, this is a twenty year

242
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: old rising star, alternative star. In fact, he is one

243
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: of the first in the genre. He did a big

244
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: article with Billboard talking about how people don't believe he's

245
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: black when they listen to him, and then they say, oh, wow,

246
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: you're black. So he considered himself kind of a pioneer

247
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: in that genre and alternative alternative rock, alternative music, and

248
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: he was on his way up. Yes, he got a

249
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: big deal, a big campaign with Hollister and Crocs, So

250
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: he was modeling hoodies and sweatpants and crocs for all

251
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 2: for Hollister until September ninth, just about a little over

252
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: a week ago. They severed ties with him when it

253
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: was connected hit that body and was in his car.

254
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: They replaced him.

255
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: They did it on the ninth.

256
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: They did it on the ninth, so they replaced him

257
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 2: with another model. So all of his ads, all of

258
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: the videos, everything, he is no longer a part of them.

259
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: So we don't have any details about what transpired between them,

260
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: but it is very clear you do not see David

261
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: modeling for Hollister anymore period as of September ninth.

262
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: That's probably the right thing to do. And just to wait,

263
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: to take a pause and see what's going on. I mean,

264
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: it's I think the lack and you spoke from a

265
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: legal standpoint, and it's one of those things Robes that

266
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: we learned a lesson about nothing to this type of

267
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: seriousness of a situation. But when you don't speak for yourself,

268
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: people fill in.

269
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: The holes and they assume the worst.

270
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: And if people are assuming the worst, as details continue

271
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: to come out, this is I mean, he's got to

272
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: some point say something. He's benefit of the doubt in police.

273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying anything.

274
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: But well, he was still performing and that's what was

275
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: deeply concerning. And now that he is not, now that

276
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: he has canceled his concept for tonight, that is certainly significant.

277
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: But it is important to know the song that really

278
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: sent him up the charts, that put his name on

279
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: the radar was a song that actually has a very

280
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: disturbing title and some really concerning lyrics that people are

281
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: now looking into and even making fun of or making

282
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: a joke about the possibility that he could possibly be

283
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: a part of, or have something to do with this

284
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: young lady's death because the name of his.

285
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: Song is Romantic Homicide. The song was a few years old,

286
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. It says when it was released, it's

287
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: a very short song as far as the lyrics go,

288
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: not a lot of course and whatnot. But yeah, this

289
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: was pointed out to us by Sabine, who was watching

290
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: and looking around online about what people were talking about.

291
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: But there is a line in the song that says,

292
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, I killed you. Now

293
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: people then took that and started doing other things with

294
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: some of these lyrics. Again, I'm I guess this is

295
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: supposed to be a romantic song. It's not about literal death.

296
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: I believe in the back of my mind you died.

297
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even cry, No, not a single tear. I'm

298
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: sick of waiting patiently for someone that won't even arrive.

299
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be some kind of.

300
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: But it's romantic homicide. I mean, I understand it could

301
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: be figurative instead of literal, but yeah, in the back.

302
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: Of my mind, I killed you. I didn't even regret it.

303
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe I said it, but it's true. I

304
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: hate you is some of the lyrics, and then Sabine

305
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: just reminded us of how they're changing this lyric in

306
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: the back of my mind, you died. Folks are being

307
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: playful with it, if you will, about someone who's dead

308
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: and saying in the back of my car you died,

309
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: So it's ropes. I'm I am so curious what was

310
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: going on in this young lady's life and where she's

311
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: been for the past year.

312
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm really curious about when we are going

313
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: to hear something from David or something from police. But

314
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: certainly this does need to be cleared up. I know

315
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: you are innocent until proven guilty, of course, and to reiterate,

316
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: no one has pointed the finger at him or even

317
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: suggested he had anything to do with it. Certainly people

318
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: online are speculating, but no one in any position of

319
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 2: authority has speculated anything even close to that. However, I

320
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: do think that the time has come, and it should

321
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: probably be coming sooner rather than later, given now that

322
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: he's canceled his concert for the evening, and now that

323
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: we know who this young lady was in the trunk

324
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: of his car, I think we need to hear something,

325
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: probably sooner than later, for his sake, for his ability

326
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: to continue. If he had nothing to do with this.

327
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 2: In a career, he's twenty years old. He has a

328
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: lot of singing to do, a lot of performing to do,

329
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: but he's got to address this.

330
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: I think that's fair, folks. Top right corner of this

331
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: in the Apple Podcast app, where you see our show page,

332
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: little button says follow click that you can get our

333
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: updates coming to you don't have to go looking for them.

334
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of updates these days, a

335
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: lot of news that is coming out as you can

336
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: at this point depend on us. We're on top of it,

337
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: it seems. But for Amy Robot, I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll

338
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: talk to y'all real soon.
