The investigation into the death of thirteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now in its third week of testimony, and the people closest to singer D4VD are beginning to fracture under pressure.



Robert Morgenroth, general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three consecutive days being questioned by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. Three days for a non-target witness is extraordinary. According to reports, Morgenroth was overheard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive about one question in particular: why did he never contact police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla? His reported answer was that he wanted to continue with the tour.



Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury. Prosecutors responded by seeking a body attachment order, authorizing law enforcement to detain her and compel testimony. She is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, raising questions about coordination within D4VD's inner circle.



Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024. Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect. Investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in disposing of her body. The case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking.



Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what these moves signal, why extended testimony often means prosecutors are hunting for inconsistencies, and what legal exposure witnesses face when they withhold critical information. The cracks are widening.
