The preliminary hearing in the d4vd murder case put the spotlight somewhere nobody expected — on Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s own family. LAPD Detective Corey Farell testified that the parents knew about Burke’s relationship with their daughter. He attended their church. The sister traveled with them. They signed a notarized form for their thirteen-year-old to fly overseas with a grown man.Then her father told reporters he’d never had contact with Burke.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether that contradiction carries legal weight — and whether parents who allegedly knew about and facilitated their daughter’s contact with the man prosecutors say killed her face criminal exposure under California law.According to testimony, Celeste was pregnant at thirteen. A teacher warned authorities. Deputies showed up at Burke’s door and left satisfied. The people with the least power tried the hardest to protect this child. Faddis on what that means for the people who had the most.Burke has pleaded not guilty. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
