Several items were recently discovered inside the former rental home where singer d4vd lived before the death of Celeste Rivas. Now, a private investigator claims these items, including heavy-duty tools, could've been used to "get rid of a person."
In an interview the Daily Mail published on Wednesday, October 29, Steve Fischer, a private investigator who was hired to determine if Rivas stayed at the property, claimed he found several things that didn't seem to serve a purpose. He didn't reveal exactly what the items were, but he said they would fit better at a farm than a house in Hollywood Hills.
"There were multiple of these items that could all be used together... [that] you’d never need in a Hollywood Hills home," Fischer explained. "You’d be more likely to find them on a farm... I don’t know what impact these items could have on the overall narrative, if any."
Fischer believes that the items, if used all together, could be used to "get rid of a person," but he didn't elaborate any further. He thought it was strange that the items there, especially since one of them was still in its packaging as if it had been delivered there recently. In addition, Fischer also found prescription pain medicine and other items in guest bedrooms and bathrooms that may have belonged to multiple men and women. The female products didn't appear to belong to Rivas, but the evidence strengthened his belief that people besides d4vd also stayed at the home.
"There was a small inner circle - two, three, maybe four people - who... appeared to be living at the house and were very close with David," Fischer said. "After the story broke, they all started unfollowing each other and deleting posts that showed them together. There’s also an indication that multiple people had access to the Tesla, which I believe to be the case."
The human remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez were found in a bag inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to d4vd. The 15-year-old girl was discovered at an impound lot after the Tesla was towed due to it being abandoned for several weeks. Fischer previously said in interviews that the car had been moved several times around that neighborhood before it was left near the home. Fischer and the Los Angeles Police Department agree that Rivas could've been dead for weeks before the Tesla was impounded.
Investigators have established a connection between d4vd and Rivas, however, he has not been officially named a suspect. He's cooperated with police as the investigation into Rivas' death continues, and even canceled his world tour. D4vd has yet to comment on the investigation, but his manager, Josh Marshall, recently denied his involvement with Rivas' death in a statement he released in response to a TikTok video.
