D4vd Case: Private Investigator Says He Found ‘Heavy-Duty Tools’ At His Rental Home

A private investigator looking into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas says he discovered unusual tools in D4vd’s former rental home in the Hollywood Hills. In a new interview, Los Angeles-based investigator Steve Fischer, who was hired by the owner of the home where D4vd had been living, says ”There were multiple of these items that could all be used together - heavy-duty tools and machinery you’d never need in a Hollywood Hills home. You’d be more likely to find them on a farm. “I don’t know what impact these items could have on the overall narrative, if any," he added, noting that one of the items was still wrapped in shipping packaging and that the LAPD had been notified. Earlier this month, Fischer told Court TV that he “found some things that have been delivered to the house that just don't belong there.” “They are things that you could use to get rid of a person if you wanted to. People say, ‘Oh, it's got to be tools and stuff.’ It's beyond that, it's really sadistic stuff, Fischer did not specify what the aforementioned tools were. Last month, D4vd’s Tesla had been parked a block away from the residence and was later towed to an impound lot. The lot is where police later found Rivas’ decomposing remains after tow yard staff reported a foul order. According to Fischer, the Tesla was seen parked in various neighborhood locations starting in May 2025 and was left for the last time on Bluebird Avenue on July 29, the same day D4vd departed on tour. Police said Rivas had “very likely” been dead for “several weeks” at the time she was found. Rivas had been reported missing by her family in early 2024 from her home in Lake Elsinore, California.After combing through neighborhood surveillance videos and other digital evidence, Fischer says that the last confirmed date showing Rivas alive was January 2, 2025. The 20-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer has since canceled the remaining dates of his tour, indefinitely delayed the release of his deluxe album Withered, and moved out of the rental property. It was also reported that D4vd transferred the deeds of his two Texas homes to his mother on Sept. 18, the same day that police were called to the Houston residence after someone falsely reported that there was a dead female in the home following a shooting. In a statement the LAPD said D4vd is not considered a suspect at the moment. The cause of Rivas Hernandez’s death remains unclear. "The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the cause or manner of Ms. Rivas Hernandez's death," the statement read. "As such, it remains unclear whether there is any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of her body. "They are probably relying on toxicology to better understand what happened,” Fischer says “Which means it could be an accidental overdose with a really bad decision made afterwards.”
