The tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas and its circumstances continue to unfold as the new details emerge from the ongoing investigation, exposing the troubled backdrop to her short life.
Police have now confirmed that officers had visited her home, located in Lake Elsinore, California, 11 times between February 2024 and April 2025, long before her body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla owned by singer D4vd.
Celeste’s passing has stunned many, spotlighting missed chances to support her during her struggles.
According to the police documents, multiple calls were filed as “minor crime investigations,” while at least one was recognized as “suspicious circumstances.”
Out of the 11 calls, four led to formal reports, and deputies reportedly followed up with Celeste on at least three counts.
One particular incident in March 2024 was notably distressing. When the police were called to the house three times in a single day.
Security camera footage from around that period spotted Celeste at a nearby liquor store, raising eyebrows about the environment she was in and the level of supervision she received.
Celeste’s former teachers have recalled her as a young girl facing significant challenges with emotional stability.
One teacher recalled that she once ran away to Hollywood, only to be escorted back to school by police, highlighting her struggles.
By May 2024, she went missing again, another indication of her repeated attempts to escape her circumstances, a cry for help that went unnoticed.
These instances add a heartbreaking angle to what police investigators are now piecing together.
Scott Williams of the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division stated that the Tesla where Celeste was found had been parked for weeks, suggesting a strong possibility that she had been dead for some time before being discovered.
While the investigation into the Celeste Rivas murder is still continuing, d4vd’s name has not been named as a suspect, and reportedly he’s been cooperating with the investigators.
The Romantic Homicide singer, who was touring when Celeste’s body was found, left behind a deleted TikTok comment as a trace.
But the circumstances surrounding the case continue to raise eyebrows and fuel public speculation.
