🚨 The Santa Barbara Key: Seven New Revelations Confirming a Second Suspect in the D4VD Homicide Case 🚨

The investigative wall of silence surrounding the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has finally cracked, revealing explosive new details that confirm what internet sleuths and legal experts have long suspected: D4VD did not act alone.

Sources close to the ongoing Robbery-Homicide Unit investigation within the LAPD are confirming that the police have identified a second suspect who they believe was involved in the crime, both before and after Celeste’s death. The key to this entire investigation hinges on a mysterious, middle-of-the-night trip taken to Santa Barbara County last spring.

Here are the seven most critical, newly revealed details that point toward multiple arrests being imminent and confirm the sophisticated nature of the police’s investigation.

1. The Autopsy is Back, and it’s Under a Security Hold

The crucial medical examiner report on Celeste’s cause of death is finalized, but the data has been scrubbed from public records and placed under a security hold.

What this means: The police and the coroner know exactly what killed Celeste. They are deliberately withholding the official cause of death (COD) to prevent the suspects from gaining tactical knowledge before an arrest is made. This is a clear, aggressive move by law enforcement, confirming that they are transitioning from investigation to prosecution. This action refutes any prior speculation that the case would be dismissed as a simple overdose (OD).

2. The Accomplice is Confirmed and Tied to Dismemberment

The LAPD has confirmed to multiple media sources that there is an accomplice in the case. Crucially, this person is not only suspected of helping D4VD but is specifically tied to the dismemberment of Celeste’s body.

The belief that more than one person dismembered the body stems from the surgical complexity of the mutilation, which experts argue is unlikely for a single, panicked actor. The police’s certainty strongly implies they have evidence—likely digital or video—showing the involvement of a second person.

3. The Santa Barbara Trip is the Case Key

The core focus of the investigation is a trip D4VD took in the spring of this year to a very remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night, where he spent several hours.

The operating theory among investigators is that Celeste’s body was transported to this remote area, and the dismemberment may have taken place there. The journey itself is a monumental piece of circumstantial evidence suggesting planning and the need for isolation.

4. Police Have Created a “Minute-by-Minute” Timeline

The LAPD has executed search warrants on multiple platforms and providers, allowing them to reverse-engineer a timeline of D4VD’s movements with frightening accuracy.

This isn’t just simple cell phone tower pinging. Investigators have layered and triangulated multiple data sources:

Cell phone records and call logs.

Social media postings (utilizing geographical data tied to the platform use).

Tesla vehicle GPS data and potentially internal video footage.

Other undisclosed GPS tracking devices.

This painstaking, methodical analysis allows them to pinpoint the location of D4VD and his associate minute-by-minute, giving them an almost irrefutable map of where the murder, dismemberment, and concealment occurred.

5. The Second Suspect Was Tracked via Devices

The identity of the second suspect was likely determined not through eyewitness accounts but through this sophisticated digital layering.

By analyzing D4VD’s call logs and comparing them with cell tower information and social media activity of other individuals, police were able to pinpoint a second person who was consistently in the same general geographical area as D4VD during the critical timeframes, including the Santa Barbara trip and the final parking of the vehicle in Los Angeles.

This confirms the theory that the police are not just targeting the person who helped dismember the body, but someone who was involved in the logistics of the entire operation.

6. The Suspects Are Connected to the Final Car Movement

The second suspect is explicitly connected to the movement of the Tesla after D4VD was out of the jurisdiction (i.e., when he left on tour).

Police have identified the person who was in some control of the car when it was parked on Dhiniti Drive with Celeste’s body inside the frunk. The ability to identify this person—the one who moved the car to its final dumping spot—is critical to proving concealment of a homicide and establishing the scope of the conspiracy.

7. The Eerie Silence of the Suspects

Sources reveal that while the police have identified the second suspect, they have not yet disclosed whether this person is talking or cooperating. However, as is common in high-stakes investigations, the pressure is immense.

The person who turns themselves in first often has the best chance to cut a deal or cooperate, potentially trading testimony for leniency. The fact that the police have gone to such lengths to build an airtight case—using highly advanced, multi-layered digital evidence—suggests they are waiting for the ideal moment to execute the arrests, ensuring they have overwhelming evidence to secure a conviction for both D4VD and his accomplice(s).

The key takeaway is clear: the secrecy and methodical effort applied by the LAPD show they are determined to get this right. They are moving slowly and meticulously, not because they lack suspicion, but because they only get one shot. The digital ghost of the victims’ last movements has been amplified by technology, and the suspects’ movements, tracked through their own devices, are now closing the circle around them. Justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez is looming.
