CELESTE, 13, AUTOPSY: SKELETONIZED, MISSING LEFT EYE, D4VD WHINES

Celeste Rivas, 13, was found partially skeletonized, with her left eye and two fingers missing. The autopsy revealed fatal stab wounds, particularly a 1.5-inch deep wound to the liver, which would have caused a slow, conscious bleed-out. Defensive wounds were also noted, suggesting a struggle. Traces of meth and MDMA were found in her system.

Nancy Grace states, 'Her left eye gone. Traces of not only meth, but MDMA in her system. What was done to this little girl before she was killed with a quote sharp object?' Joseph Scott Morgan details the liver stab: 'A knife, a sharp instrument was inserted to a depth of about an inch and a half...it goes into that liver...This was not a quick death. She bled out.'

David Anthony Burke (D4VD) allegedly met Celeste when she was 11 or 12. Online chat logs from Discord and Reddit, dating back to 2021, suggest a relationship. Prosecutors found illegal images involving children on Burke's cell phone and iCloud, and a wiretap was utilized in the investigation.

Caitlyn Becker states, 'D4VD aka David Anthony Burke met Celeste allegedly when she was 12...as early as 11.' She adds, 'The New York Post compiled a bunch of um Discord, Reddit, chat room uh clips and screenshots going back to 2023 and then back to potentially 2021 where she was maybe 11, 12 at the the oldest where they were apparently together.' Dave Mack reports, 'Prosecutors provided new information about shocking illegal images found on accused killer David Anthony Burke's cell phone.'

Celeste's body was dismembered; her head was found in a body bag, and the rest of her body, cut into pieces, was in a trash bag underneath the body bag. The presence of a professional body bag suggests premeditation and is a critical source for DNA evidence, as its coarse nylon handles can retain touch DNA.

Nancy Grace describes, 'Her head is in an actual body bag with handles on it...underneath the body bag, an actual body bag, is a trash bag with her dismembered body in it.' Joseph Scott Morgan confirms, 'I never thought that I would read an autopsy report where I'm hearing or reading the fact that a body bag is being swabbed for DNA.'

A highly anticipated preliminary hearing was downgraded to a status conference, where terabytes of digital data were to be turned over to the defense. The defense attorney, Philip Dubet, argues that despite the horrific details, this may not be a death penalty case due to Burke's lack of prior criminal record and the difficulty of proving he is 'irreformable.'

Philip Dubet states, 'This is not a capital case. It might be on paper, but this young man has absolutely no criminal record. I do not see a jury ever executing him.' He also explains the 'three of 10' date for discovery, noting 'terabytes of digital data to be turned over.'

David Anthony Burke, held in segregation due to his celebrity status, has reportedly complained about insufficient recreation time and fresh air, a behavior characterized by a clinical psychologist as indicative of self-centeredness and a lack of empathy.

Dr. Gerylyn Udder states, 'It's not about anyone else but him. He's not getting what he wants. He's not getting his time. So really, it it's really indicative of the behavior that took place leading up to this poor girl's death. She was perceived as a possession, not a person.' Caitlyn Becker confirms, 'He gets to shower every other day. He gets a phone call every other day...only a couple hours a week of recreation time.'
