The remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez were discovered on September 8, 2025 in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard after workers reported a foul odor, with the vehicle registered to singer D4vd, according to ABC News and NBC Los Angeles. The Tesla had been towed from a Los Angeles street two days earlier; as of April 2026, no criminal charges have been filed and the investigation remains active.
Operator takeaway
A body was in a vehicle for two days on a tow yard before anyone noticed the odor — if your intake process does not include a visual and olfactory inspection of every vehicle upon arrival, add one now.
