Celeste Rivas' clothing presented as new evidence in D4vd preliminary hearing
LAPD criminalist Lisa Lahendro testified that Celeste Rivas' clothing (a Victoria's Secret thong, Forever 21 tube top, and leggings) was heavily soiled, wet, and covered with insects.
Detectives found pieces of black fabric inside a trash bag in D4vd's (David Burke's) garage, which were compared with Rivas' clothing.
Criminalist Chelsea Murillo stated that D4vd's Tesla had a strong odor resembling a decomposing body and contained at least 11 air fresheners.
Criminalist Lauren Wallace testified that tests found signs of possible blood on the brick floor under mats in D4vd's Hollywood Hills home.
The court also heard details of D4vd's earnings in 2025 during the preliminary hearing.
