13-Year-Old Found in d4vd’s Tesla: What the Law Needs to File Charges
She was reported missing at 13. Then caught on camera five months later — alive and near home. One year later to the day, her body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising musician d4vd.
There’s no arrest. No charges. And the LAPD says it’s still “unclear whether there’s any criminal culpability beyond concealment.”
In this episode of Hidden Killers, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to walk through exactly what’s holding this case back from being charged — and what it would actually take to move it forward.
We dig into:
How prosecutors handle a case where a “missing” teen is later seen on video- Why deferred cause of death limits what can be charged
- Whether the placement of Celeste’s body in a Tesla frunk points to concealment or something more
- How celebrity status could influence charging decisions behind the scenes
- And why timeline inconsistencies — April missing report, September sighting, 1-year delay — could make or break the case
We also get into what’s legally significant about viral evidence like the Tesla key card, whether the family’s silence holds legal weight, and how prosecutors weigh circumstantial cases when the science stalls out.
If you’ve been asking, “Why hasn’t anyone been charged?” — this is the segment that finally answers that question.
