In connection with the murder of a 14-year-old girl, and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Roves, I say finally because from the moment we heard about the death

3:04of this young woman, this, excuse me, this child. And her connection to David, we were all kind of waiting around when is he going to be arrested. Roves didn't know he was going to take this many months. Didn't think it was going to take seven months. That's right, because 14-year-old Celeste Reves Hernandez, her body was found badly decomposing, dismembered, in the trunk of a car registered to Singer David. And by the way, his name, his official name is David Anthony Burke, but he goes by, it looks like DeFour of it, D-Four V-D. And we're going to screw that up at some point during this conversation. That's how we kind of learned to say his name, DeFour of it. That's how we learned to spell it, because it looks weird. But this is what kids do. Nowadays, everything on social media, they change it up. So we're going to make that mistake at some point. Roves, when this, how could anything else be possible? Look, this is not a criticism of the police, but they were getting their ducks in a row. But Roves, every what, there was no other suspect they talked about.

4:07There was nobody else involved. There's nobody else arrested. There was in his car all of this. And Roves, he was still on tour at the time. And Roves, seven months, you said? Yes. She was found September 4th one day after what would have been her 15th birthday. So it was, it's been a while. And it was November that he was named officially a suspect in the case. And then there were reports of a grand jury convening and different folks being brought to the Los Angeles area to testify. But this was a tightly guarded investigation. In fact, the medical examiner put out a statement. He was upset. He wasn't allowed to give autopsy results or even speak to the press. And he felt like this was a suppression of information. He wanted more transparency. So there seemed to even be infighting among officials there in LA about how to handle the information that was coming in from this case. But they managed to keep it very close to the vest.

5:08You know, let's stop for a second and give that department credit for this. This is LA. This is the LAPD and robes in Los Angeles area. They've been known for big cases, celebrity cases, leaks, all kinds of stuff. Rob, this one was handled. This was one of those cases where every day you see a headline in some tabloid that really told you nothing. They were trying to keep everybody interested in the case without information. Robes, we really have not had a lot of information on this case for seven months. Nothing official. I was going to say certainly nothing coming from the LA police department until yesterday. And it happened late yesterday. It happened around what? 8 p.m. Eastern time. Eastern time, I think, was 4.30 when they picked them up. Local says that times out. But Robes, this kind of came out of no. We keep up with the case. We keep checking in about and whatnot. Oh, we Googled the four of it. David, almost every day. The ropes, there was nothing that was bubbling up, necessarily that thought something was imminent. And I was almost even surprised. There was no press conference. There was no heads up.

6:08There were no details. They put out a statement on X, and that was it. Yes, and the statement on X red as follows. Detectives from Los Angeles Police Department, robbery homicide division, have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles for the murder of Celeste Rivas. Burke is being held without bail. The case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office on Monday for filing consideration, period, end of story. That's it. And they're keeping a lid on this thing and good for them. They don't want to compromise. I mean, people will still tell you to this day that OJ did not get convicted because of missteps and how that case was handled. They have learned their lessons. They have cut down on leaks. And this one at least robs it works. Now, David is not. Yes, he's a singer, and he was up and coming. He was nothing to the level of celebrity of a OJ, if you will. But still, robs, you did, at the time, more of a deep dive on this guy, all of our daughters know who he is, know his music, know what type of music.

7:08And he was named one of the top up and coming stars in music. Yes, his name wasn't necessarily a household hold one yet for folks our age. But you could argue that he was on his way to becoming just that. He was, he emerged to fame on TikTok. And that's why we may not know him the way our daughters did. But certainly, he became a TikTok sensation. Four million followers. He is just setting out on his world tour. His career was taking off. And he was just 20 at the time when all of these headlines started circling around him. And it just seemed like such a shame, some young artist who was literally just getting started and was touring this country about to have a European light to his tour. All of that canceled. And so much mystery surrounding this relationship that appears to have started online when Celeste Reves might have been as young as 11, 12 years old. So this has just been a story where we haven't even heard much from friends. I mean, this has been a tightly guarded story.

8:12We're just a few little hints of what may have happened. We believe they were romantically involved. And most people say that she was passing herself off as a 19 year old. But short of that, there really is just a lot of unknown. And there was, this is a young lady. I keep saying young lady, this is a kid. This is a child. She was 14 when she died. We were hanging out with 13 year olds of being having dinner and enjoying ourselves. That is a child. So I keep saying young lady for whatever reason. And yes, we see the pictures over and she, but that has to be kept in perspective. This is a baby. So this young lady, Robes, you remind me how many times she had been reporting missing like a couple of times even before she officially went missing. Correct. She officially went missing at the age of 13. So exactly. And she had not been seen for about a year and a half before her body was found in that trunk of that Tesla registered to sing her David. So she had been running to a lot of times it was relatives.

9:14She just had problems with her family apparently. And look, a lot of kids go through this. And she found it seems some sort of solace or safety or love or whatever she was looking for in the arms of David. And it was reported she was actually living with him in Los Angeles leading up to her eventual murder and death. And the death. We go back to September, Robes. This all came to people's attention because there was a car parked on the street. It was in the same neighborhood where David was living at the time. But he was on tour when the car was discovered. But it had been sitting out there on the road for quite a while. Neighbors reported it. I'm not sure if the file odor was smelled yet. Robes, but once it got certainly to the tow yard after a couple of days, a file odor was reported. Police were called in. And that's when they checked out the car. Her body was found. And it was found, Robes, in pretty horrific shape, not just decomposing. That's right. So not only was Celeste Reves' body decomposing,

10:16they say she had been dead for weeks, at least weeks. But it was also dismembered. So certainly a lot of effort went into somehow the reason why it's so confusing is if you're going to go to the length of actually dismembering a body and placing it in bags. Why leave it in the trunk of your car then in the hot summer, I guess, yeah, late summer, early fall sun, to be discovered while you're off touring. Like, none of it makes sense to go through those lengths of trying to conceal the body and be able to move the body. Why leave it in a parked car on a public street where obviously the odor is going to draw attention at some point. I give you on that one that makes no sense. Killer, chopper up, lever in my car in a public place, and then I'm going to go on tour. That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all. So there are so many questions. But yes, young Celeste Reves was last seen April of 2024.

11:21So this is, it was a terribly sad ending. We heard from her mother who said at the moment she heard the news, she was afraid it was her daughter. And then look, there were a lot of things linking David to Celeste, a matching tattoo, and certainly some photos posted online. It seemed pretty obvious. Her brother and her mother said she was, her boyfriend's name was David. So everyone had linked these two together for so long. It was interesting. It took police seven months to finally make this arrest. Well, and a big part of that was we were confused, Roves, that they had turned the body over to the family. And we thought, well, how can they continue the investigation? How can they prove how she died? How can they prove murder? They must be done with the examination of the body. We don't know, because still Roves, they haven't announced how she died. We don't have a cause of death. We don't, but they think it's homicide at this point. They think now they can prove that this girl died at the hands of someone. Now all this might look bad.

12:22It might sound bad, but David is being defended and being defended strongly by his attorneys. Now you would expect that to do their job, but they went even farther than they had to in their defense. Stay here.

All right, we continue here on this Friday episode of AMIATJ just getting word like yesterday that singer David has been arrested in connection with the death, the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Reves Hernandez, who was found in the trunk of his Tesla last September. Robes, his attorneys, did come out and put a statement. Look, they're doing their job, of course. They're not just saying, well, wait,

16:24and we're not gonna do this in public. They have gone as far as saying he absolutely did not do this. Yeah, it was a pretty specific statement. They didn't miss word, you know, standard defense attorney statement. This actually got specific and I thought it was very interesting. So this was from David's attorneys following his arrest. Actual evidence, in this case, will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Reves Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death. Robes, we hear a lot of statements. There's like the fence attorneys defend their clients without going that far. Yes, that was. It sounds like, it sounds like, to me, they are setting up somehow, she accidentally died, he panicked, he tried to remove her body and then got caught. That's what it sounds like, they're setting up. Robes in the past six months, how many of those cases have we covered? All of them. Didn't kill her, but had the chopper up after her because I panicked. Correct. Sounds like that is what they are saying. Robes, I didn't think about that until you just said it.

17:25Oh, I guess. Yes, so they went on to say, there has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case. And no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David's innocence. His innocence? Well, look, those are strong words there. I don't know what they know. But Robes, again, they did not have to go that far in defense of him. That is true. And I think it's fair to point out too. As much as we've said, we heard nothing from police. We heard nothing from the investigators on this case. There were almost zero leaks. We also have heard nothing from David, nothing. The only thing initially was an announcement or some statement by his rep saying that he was cooperating with police. Then about a month later, we got a statement from police saying David is no longer cooperating with police. And that was it. So this is the first blip of information we've gotten from the David camp at all.

18:28And as you say, it is a very strong and very specific, specifically, worded statement defending their client. I don't know how this one's going to be covered, Robes. Celebrity, trials. This guy is not the level of ditty. He's not the level of Weinstein. He's not the level of, I'm saying fame. He's not that. But this turns out now, given the victim, Robes, given the circumstances, given that he was on tool, given all of this stuff. This makes this an incredibly fascinating case that we are going now. This is going to become another one of these LA Hollywood. This is crazy. The story has gripped the nation. It certainly gripped us because there are, I think, what we've talked about is nothing makes sense. And there are so many mysteries surrounding what their relationship was, how long it had been going on, what happened between the two. How did she die? That's my question. If he did or didn't have something to do with her death,

19:31why would anyone chop up a body and put it in a car and leave it to just sit in the sun in a car registered to a up and coming artist who's whole career and livelihood were in front of him with great promise. It's a crazy story that you cannot make up. If you got this script or you saw this movie, you would say, damn. That doesn't make any sense that would never happen. And yet, here it is unfolding right before our eyes. Monday, we should know more. We're told the investigators will hand the case over to prosecutors who will determine what the next steps are, but he will remain in jail for now.
