Overview

  • The 21-year-old was taken into custody Thursday in Los Angeles and is being held without bail as police send the case to the county prosecutor on Monday.
  • Officers found severely decomposed remains in the front trunk of a Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard on September 8, 2025, and the car was registered to David Burke.
  • Authorities identified the victim as Celeste Rivas, 14, who had been reported missing by her family in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California.
  • The coroner has not publicly determined a cause or time of death because the body was found in an advanced state of decomposition.
  • A secret Los Angeles County grand jury examined the case for months, and Burke’s lawyers deny he killed Rivas as his parents plan to travel to Los Angeles to support him.
