Celeste Rivas’ body was found frozen, and the LA County Medical Examiner may not be able to determine the cause of death. Sources indicate that her body was discovered in a severely damaged state.
Details About Rivas’ Body Discovery
According to sources, Rivas’ body was decapitated, with the torso intact but limbs cut into pieces. All parts were partially frozen and had been thawing in D4vd’s Tesla, which had been parked for days before being towed.
Initially, investigators could not identify the body as male or female due to its condition. Although considered a victim of apparent homicide, the Medical Examiner now struggles to reach an official cause of death, which is likely to be labeled as ‘undetermined.’
Investigation and Suspects Involved
The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division is treating Rivas’ death as a homicide, and authorities may proceed with an arrest even without an established cause of death. D4vd is a suspect, and there is another individual believed to have assisted him.
Mark Geragos, appearing on the “2 Angry Men” podcast, stated he knows the second suspect’s name, who possibly was involved in various stages surrounding Rivas’ death.
Theories About Body’s Location Before Discovery
Investigators noted a significant detail about D4vd: he visited a remote area of Santa Barbara County overnight in spring, where he stayed for two hours. This visit might connect to where Rivas’ body was kept before being placed in D4vd’s vehicle.
It is theorized that her body parts were stored in some sort of freezer prior to ending up in the Tesla in late summer.
