D4vd: Who Allegedly Helped Him Reach Celeste?!

September 19, 2026·52 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

D4vd Celeste Rivas Hernandez civil lawsuit — the new legal fight asks whether people around David Anthony Burke were passive bystanders or active parts of the access and logistics described by Celeste's family. The complaint names Burke, his mother Colleen Burke, manager Josh Marshall, live-in security guard Sheldon Jacques, additional management and business entities, and brings 12 causes of action. One allegation gives the civil case its sharpest edge. The family says Jacques lived at Burke's Hollywood Hills residence during part of the relevant period and helped remove Celeste from her family home and bring her to Burke. The complaint also alleges people and companies in Burke's orbit knew or should have known Celeste was a minor and failed to intervene. The financial structure is part of the same civil theory. Colleen Burke is accused of managing major parts of her son's money and approving business expenses. A former financial manager testified at Burke's preliminary hearing that the singer generated roughly $10 million to $11.5 million in gross earnings from 2023 through 2025. Property records reported after Celeste's remains were found showed two Texas homes transferred into his mother's name. On the criminal side, Burke has pleaded not guilty. He was ordered to stand trial following a July preliminary hearing and remains in custody without bail. His private defense team later withdrew, the public defender's office took over, and the next status conference is set for October 19, 2026. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine how far responsibility could extend beyond Burke if the family's allegations are supported in discovery. They also look at which records or testimony could establish what the surrounding adults actually knew. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
