Fresh speculation has emerged over whether another person could have been involved in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old girl whose remains were discovered in a vehicle linked to American singer David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd.

A report published by CrimeOnline on October 22, 2026, featured legal commentator Nancy Grace discussing whether digital evidence could point to another individual in the case.

The discussion follows remarks attributed to attorney Mark Geragos during a conversation with TMZ’s Harvey Levin. Geragos reportedly said investigators had not ruled out the possibility of more than one person being involved.

However, the comments do not establish that an accomplice has been identified or charged.

Burke was charged in April 2026 in connection with Rivas Hernandez’s death. Prosecutors allege that he killed the teenager and later mutilated her remains.

Her decomposed remains were discovered in September 2025 inside a Tesla linked to the singer at a vehicle impound lot in Los Angeles.

Burke has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His defence team has maintained that the evidence will show he did not kill Rivas Hernandez and was not responsible for her death.

The possibility of another person’s involvement has drawn attention to the role digital evidence could play in the investigation.

According to the discussion reported by CrimeOnline, Geragos referred to circumstantial evidence that could suggest a connection between another individual and events surrounding the case.

No publicly confirmed identity, formal charge or official finding establishing the involvement of a second suspect was provided in the report.

Burke remains at the centre of the criminal proceedings, while the allegations against him have yet to be determined at trial.

Any suggestion that another person participated in the killing remains unconfirmed unless established by investigators or supported by court filings.
