Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing from her family home in Lake Elsinore, 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Celeste, at 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 120 pounds, is reported last seen wearing a black shirt, gray pants, and Hello Kitty sandals. And according to close sources and family members, she has a boyfriend named "David."

Celeste, just entering her teen years, becomes friends with singer D4vd on social media and runs away to Hollywood to see the rising star. Celeste is returned home to Lake Elsinore by the police.

Celeste remains in school for a month, then in May, "D4vd" (David Anthony Burke) picks Celeste up in a Tesla to go to the movies, and she never returns home.

Residents in the Hollywood Hills grow tired of a dusty, 2023 Tesla Model Y with a Texas plate parked on the street for a month and report the vehicle.

Days later, employees at Hollywood Tow notice a foul odor coming from the Tesla and call the police. When officers arrive, they discover human remains wrapped in plastic, placed in a bag, and hidden in the frunk of the Tesla.

Police identify the person/victim as female, 5 feet 2, weighing 71 pounds, with wavy black hair, wearing a tube top and black leggings.

Reports later state the remains are severely decomposed, partially dismembered, and identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the child who was reported missing more than a year ago.

Authorities report the Tesla is owned by singer/songwriter D4vd, who is reported to be living in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood near where the Tesla was abandoned.

A 46-year-old Alaska cardiologist charged with possessing child sex abuse material was found dead inside his burned Wasilla home just one day after his release on bond, as investigators continue to determine how the fire and his death occurred. A Christmas Day drive through the Sierra nearly ends in disaster when an SUV spins out on icy Highway 50 and hangs over a steep drop, until an Air Force staff sergeant rushes in and helps save the trapped couple. A quick-thinking Long Island seventh grader escaped through a window and called 911 after realizing a burglar had broken into his home, leading police to arrest the suspect within minutes. Drew Nelson reports.

James Fyfe leaves his Massachusetts security screening job to follow his dreams of becoming a cop.

New Orleans catches Fyfe’s eye, actually circulating ‘help wanted’ posters amid a hiring slump. Fyfe begins as a patrol officer in Algiers and works his way up the Fourth District Task Force into property crimes.

After time on the Violent Crime Abatement Investigation team, Fyfe finally gets a shot in the homicide division, just as NOLA sees a huge spike in violent crime. While many detectives only handle about five homicide cases a year, Fyfe is assigned to nearly 40 cases over three years because he keeps clearing them!

Since 2022, Fyfe has closed 24 consecutive cases he is assigned to, with his co-workers keeping track on a white board they’ve dubbed the "Fyfe-o-meter."

Fyfe’s work helps the homicide division bring its ‘clearance rate’ from 40% in 2022 to above 76%.

As 2024 nears the end, Thanh Vu tends her supermarket, but three "customers" are seeking more than groceries. Thanh, 61, was held at gunpoint while thieves emptied the register and pocketed cigarettes.

When Thanh fights back, she’s shot and left for dead. 

Joining Nancy Grace:

James Fyfe - Homicide Detective, New Orleans Police Department, Criminal Law Degree from Northeastern University, and Master’s at Suffolk University; Increased Homicide Unit’s Clearance Rate from 40% to 75% from 2022-2024
