#337 The Tale of D4VD: The Death, Degradation, & Dismemberment of Celeste Rivas Hernandez [Part 2]

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS GRAPHIC DETAILS INVOLVING THE SEXUAL ABUSE, MURDER AND MUTILATION OF A CHILD; LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED... On September 5, 2025, a seemingly abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills.  Within a couple days, tow yard employees couldn't get past the outrageously pungent odor emanating from the Tesla, along with colonies of insects making themselves at home in and around it.  The workers couldn't be sure what the smell was, but they knew.  The LAPD was contacted, the smell was reported and when officers arrived and opened the front end cargo area of the vehicle, they discovered two body bags containing dismembered human remains.  Whose remains were these?  Who did this Tesla belong to?  And how did all this end up in a tow yard in Hollywood?  This is the first part of a two part series on the 2025 murder of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
