It is not until Spetmber 17th, 2025 that the body found in D4vd’s Tesla is identified as 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. And she has been missing for over a year. The last time her family saw her in person seems to be in April of 2024 though her family has remained out of the public eye with no official statements. The police are quiet. The medical examiner’s are quiet. David and his team are quiet. And Celeste’s family is quiet. The media and netizens, basically the general public, is not. People start developing their own assumptions and conclusions to the point where there’s about five main theories floating around online. One, he killed her for fame.Two, he’s innocent.Three, he’s involved but her death was an accident and he couldn’t call for an ambulance or authorities because she was a missing teen.Four, he murdered her and disposed of her body.Five, there is a lot more that we don’t know and there are other people that are heavily involved. This is what the internet thinks happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14 year old girl found deceased in the trunk of D4vd’s car.   Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

None of the people that are carrying the casket are saying anything. They just roll it into the building. Once the casket finds its spot in the room, people file in to pay their respects. It’s not an open casket but as people pass by the roses and the guestbook, they see that the casket is for a young man depicted in a blood stained dress shirt. Thankfully this is not a funeral.This is a concert. For one of the biggest rising artists of 2025, D4vd. The writer and singer behind ‘Romantic Homicide,’ and ‘Here With Me’ kicked off his international tour by holding a funeral for his ‘alter ego’ at a few of his domestic tour stops. Nobody thought twice about this. It was ‘artistic’ and ‘apart of his aesthetic.’ Just a part of his branding. Nobody thought he could actually be telling the truth right? September 8th, 2025 the news that the remains of a 14 year old girl are found in an abandoned Tesla the LAPD confirmed to be registered to D4vd goes nationwide. Despite this, he still decides to perform one last concert night before cutting his tour short. This is everything we know about the singer D4vd and the victim whose body was found in his trunk.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He will be with me while your lonely ugly ass is alone. I fucking own Owens dick. Cry more you fucking jealous bitch.” Who is sending these messages?

The story was simple. Perhaps, a little too simple. Rebecca says she pulled into the parking lot of the sports store with her 7 month old son, Emmanuel.  She went to get him from the back but a creepy man walked up to her, said “hola,” knocked her out, and stole her son.  A tragic situation. But what if it never even happened?There are so many questions that don’t make sense if her story is true -  Rebecca claims she didn’t see the man at all before he knocked her out. She says he came up from behind her. But how did she get punched in the middle of her face where she now has a black eye if he came up behind her? Also if her black eye is from the kidnapper punching her in the face - why are there reports that family members saw her with a black eye weeks before the abduction? How come she keeps using past tense when referring to her son?And why did she making missing child flyers in an effort to find her son but disconnect her phone so that no tips/sightings would actually go through? But most intriguing - how come nobody saw her with a baby that day? The day she claims her baby was abducted?    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Killed in their sleep while their two daughters slept just a few doors away. The killer is still on the loose. Kristin’s eldest daughter gives the closing line of her eulogy, “I love you guys so, so much…I’m sorry.” A relative who is present at the funeral will later recall the teenager’s cadence - how it was one of the weirdest things they have ever witnessed. What is that voice they’re doing?It sounds like crying but not a single tear… Afterwards, the teenager, whose 5 year old sister was the one to find their parents’ bodies, goes down the line of relatives repeating the phrase, “I’m sorry.” Why is 17 year old Sarah Patrick apologizing to everyone when it was her mother and stepfather that were killed? Five months later and a digital footprint of tiktoks will give the police enough evidence to make an arrest. Authorities accuse Sarah Patrick.
