After d4vd's arrest, Celeste Rivas Hernandez's father released a statement through his attorney. "I never had any contact with this guy." That denial — given to Rolling Stone, TMZ, and other outlets — ran headfirst into what surfaced at the preliminary hearing. A notarized London travel form. A Vegas trip with Celeste's sister tagging along. Burke sitting with the family in VIP sections and attending their church.

A judge held David Anthony Burke to answer on all counts July 27th — first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous illegal conduct with a child under fourteen, and mutilation of remains. No bail. The DA is weighing the death penalty and says what was presented was only a fraction of the evidence. But the testimony about what Celeste's parents knew — and what they facilitated — opened a question the DA himself wouldn't answer when reporters asked.

Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Celeste never got to see her fifteenth birthday.
