Don't miss the ultimate happy ending The finale season of sururvival of the Thiggest, july second only on Netflix. Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like showing up for movie night ready for a heart pounding thriller but getting a three hour documentary on lawn care. That's kind of like insurance. Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but when it comes to getting the help you need, Statefarm is the real deal You wouldn't settle for a snooze fest when you came for a thrill ride. So don't settle for just any insurance when they're state farm Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there B b being boo In the fourth of July liv stream that the Tutchreamer Sakura was filming, there's a moment. So the whole live stream, I'm just going to give you some context. This is the part of the liv stream that people have been piecing together and clipping and posting. It's gone viral because a lot of people think that there's clues in there foreshadowing, there's just a lot But she is primarily getting ready in one of David's bathrooms. I don't think that this is his primary bathroom. There were a lot of people believing it was because I watched like all two hours of it and it seems like a secondary bathroom because at one point Sakura is looking for Q tips and Asia, who's David's friend, who's also getting ready with her for this fourth of July party is like, oh, I think there's Q tips in David's bathroom So this seems like maybe a guest bath. They're getting ready most of the time and it's primarily just Sakura in Asia. Neo and David are kind of in and out of the bathroom And then once they're done getting ready, they get changed and Sakura orders food to the house, which she proceeds to eat in the bathroom. Now a lot of people have like picked up on that and they're making comments about that. I think it's just like a thing that streamers do because they don't wantan to set up too many frames. A lot of the video, they're also very stressed about doxing of showing too much of the house where people find out exactly where the house is in the hills. So maybe it's just convenient. But she has her camera set up near the bathtub. She's sitting on the ground, Neo comes in and is sitting next to her. She eats, David apologizes for the smell, and she's like, donon't worry about it. I also took a shit. And then eventually She leaves she leaves her phone and she just leaves So she's like, I gott to go do something She leaves the live stream. There's people still watching. David and Neo are now standing there. andid netizens say David starts looking a little concerned and he's like, where did they go? Where did they go A Neil responds, Oh, they went to the bathroom. and David looks behind behind him where there's a water closet in the bathroom, like a toilet in there. And he's like, there's a toilet right there.et, but all of us are in here just hearing And then David kind of blinks and he walks out and you can hear him instructing them which bathroom to use. don't necessarily think that they're is a body in the house at that point because that would be incredibly balssy, but maybe there's places where there could be evidence of something. is what most netizens believe. The prosecutor said the body has been in the car Yes, so it doesn't seem like the body is in the house, which some people were speculating like, oh, what if he was keeping her body in one of the rooms? I think that would have been incredibly balsy. I don't think balsy risky I don't think that he would have done that Now, he walks out, instructs them on the specific bathroom, and throughout the stream, you're going to hear them reference a woman named Celeste, who is also there during the live stream. And at first people thought this was proof that a lot of live streamers knew about Celeste, right? Because they're like, oh, Celeste is here, but she doesn't want to be on cama Neo keeps saying like, Celeste is here, but she doesn't want to be on the stream People thought it was the Celeste But it's not because at this point she would be deceased Now Celeste Herrera is the one that they're talking about. And if you remember the original two videos that we made, there is an older Celeste, an of age Celeste that was commonly referred to as decoy Celeste. Netizens felt like David brought this of age Celeste into his life so that when people ask about Celeste, he can say, oh, you guys are getting confused. I never dated this miner named Celeste. I was dating this girl ned Celeste and she's an adult And some people say that she even looks similar to the real Celeste. though I don't know if that's true. People think that this was his way of causing confusion about who was really with him at these concerts and at these events. But there's this very interesting moment where David takes the liv stream camera. he's holding it around like he's almost like a selfie video, right? but it's a live stream. and he turnurns to the side and shows Celeste who has not wanted to be on camera this entire time. And everyone's been like, o, Celestiaa' here, but she doesn't want to be on camera Celesta's here but she doesn't want to be on camera. He picks it up and intentionally shows her, A at least in my feeling, it feels intentional And he goes, oh, sorry And she's like, what the heck That was the end of the Yeah. Aion Yeah. But it almost seems like he's doing it to be like, oh, well, there's a missing girl named Celeste that I have ties to. so I'm showing everyone it's not that person It's just like a really weird moment One of the girls, this is another point of the livestream that has been picked apart. One of the girls tells David that he needs to get the bug spray because there's little spiders everywhere, too which he calmly responds, o for real. They ask her and she responds that it's not the oval ones. That's what it sounds like she's saying. Now some netizens believe that Ov ones she could be referencing maggots, but I I don't know if that's like a common way that someone would refer to oval ones Oh, it's bugs but they're not the oval. I think it would be very hard to not be able to clearly, distinctly differentiate between spiders and maggots So that's also weird. I guess she could be referring to American house spiders, which are over It's like a little more oval in shape. But that's also weird to differentiate. Like when you see spiders in someone's house, you're not going to be like, oh, it's this subscies of spiders, the American house spider that I'm fighting in your house. So what do you Wh Wh why they We don't know, but it seems like there's lots of bugs in the house, Maybe even different types of bugs. And you can hear someone saying, like, oh, there's, you know, a bug spray near the staircase railing So it seems like there's bugs spray readily available. Now, I will say that spiders are very attracted to decomposing bodies. They're not attracted in the sense that maggots are. Maggots will actually feast off of decomposing flesh Spiders feast off of maggots and flies. So they're not attracted to the body itself, but they are predators of what the body attracts. So but I also know that just from the live stream footage and He seems like he likes to live in disarray. There's food and trash everywhere. so I just I don't know. Then at one point, people say that you can hear David and Neo having a separate conversation in the background. And this is where people point the finger a lot at Neo, but Neo, it sounds like he's saying, oh, I forgot. And it sounds like David is saying something like, oh, you forgot about the car, huh? Wow, son Now some people are insinuating that this is, oh, Neo knows that he needs to move the Tesla and he forgot to move the Tesla and David is upset. and this is maybe when they first started moving the Tesla But I will say it maybe could also be referencing an Uber because pretty quickly after that conversation, they go outside and get into a car to go to the fourourth of July party. So it could be that And I yeah, I don't know. Now there's another part that even people like Nancy Grace have been showing on her channel, which it's Asia and Sukura are in the bathroom getting ready. And in the background, you can hear the other Celeste talking and it sounds put subtitles, right? And it's like, o, what happened to the other Celeste? We killed her. I don't think at all that that's what they're saying because first of all, you cannot I mean, if someone says that they can matter of fact for certain, say this is what they're saying, I think they're lying. becausecause you really cannot decipher anything. I think with added subtitles, our brain does the weird thing. where we're like, oh, yeah, totally, that's what I hear. But you really cannot hear it. And second of all, I don't think that they're that dumb I think David is dumb. I don't think he's that dumb because he does make effort to hide this So he's not going to suddenly be like, you know what, everyone? let me just tell you what happens Then august twelfth, twenty twenty five, less than a month before Celeste Body is found, he posts that he made a new song about like five minutes ago and he thinks it's beautiful. So he posted on Twitter. And again, I think that this is relevant because I do believe and a lot of legal experts believe that his lyrics are going to be, they're going to try to bring it into court. I don't know if they're going to get away with it in the state of California. I think that Lil Dirk There's something happening with another musician L Durk who Brian Steele is representing If you guys remember him from young Thug, Sean Combs, but this has been like a huge thing all across the states of trying to get lyrics in. But this is written after the alleged killing and dismemberment. So it's maybe holds even more importance, but the song is called Favorite. and it has since started making its rounds as people think that it sounds like Celests point of view in their relationship The lyrics read, Can you feel the weight on you? I'm running away from you. I'm hiding my face from you. I needed some space from you. I'm bleeding out and my blood stained your closed. Would you let me die on you Again, this is a song that he allegedly wrote four months after allegedly killing Celeste. He could have lied about it. He could have written it two years ago, right? But this is what he claims. The rest of the lyrics read, I can travel all night to you no matter the distance. I'm still waiting for the day when I become your favorite, but I can see it on your face. You're in love with my replacement Then august fifteenth, twenty twenty five, he writes two new songs, Home and Friends are on my archive. Now these are not bonus tracks to Withered. These are not on the Deluxe album. Netizens think that this timeframe of writing and releasing songs is again, could be more heavily analyzed because this is maybe his psyche, maybe his creative expression after the killing Notable lyrics to homeome read, No matter where I go, you still feel like home. Can't you see that I'm in pain? When I needed you the most? I started writing songs about you. Wish I had my arms around you. I was lost until I found you. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning. every single day I'm trying to find my peace, but I can't cope Notable lyrics for friends include Baby, would you lie for me? Would you die for me? Would you put yourself on the front line for me? Do it all, but don't you dare say goodbye to me There is a TikTok in August of David showing off a cut finger, which everyone at the time assumed it to be anime related. However, now people are wondering if this is Celestial finger, which I don't think is true at all. It actually does look like the finger prop of one of the famous like the Skuna finger props. It's a very famous anime. It's like a fake anime finger the Secuna fingerpp People have been now dissecting the meaning of it because it's from Jujitsu Kaisan. I've never seen it or read it, but they have Sukuna fingers in the series where Sukuna fingers are the severed mummified remains of the King of Curses. So the King of curses decided that he was going to divvy up his souls into twenty of his severed fingers and make them these indestructible cursed objects. And when you collect all twenty of them, he can be like reincarnated or something like that. The fingers are volatile objects that attract other cursed spirits. You can't destroy a finger. You can try to suppress it You can eat the finger. But that would lead you to be coming a finger vessel, a soul vessel, There's like a whole lot to this that I think it would take me quite a bit of time to really dive into accurately, though I'm not sure it really even holds much importance to the case. Just some needed context If you're going into the thick trenches of this internet discourse for this case, people think that maybe he kept the finger because it represents a soul and he seems like the type And I'm not saying that this is true, but he seems like the type to believe in the lluminati and sacrifices and self importance of, oh, if I keep this, it'll protect me from getting caught. But I don't think it's the finger. But there is a finger in that TikTok september fourth, twenty twenty five, he announces his Crocx ad on Twitter. This is huge. september seventh, twenty twenty five, he posts on Twitter, Withered Deluxe Marsesscence Out september nineteenth, featuring Malcolm Todd, Cashie, Hunjen, Julia Wolf, Hannah Bang, and Realist Kay. A lot of people have been dissecting the meaning of narccesence, which is the word that describes the phenomenon. During the winter, some trees will hold onto their withered leaves So most trees will shed all their leaves until they're just branches, but there are some trees that won't. They'll just like hold on to the dead shriveled up leaves. And throughout the winter, it just becomes more and more tattered by the elements. And like no one knows why the trees do this. People who study trees don't know why the trees do this. It could be that they shed the leaves later in spring, so the new leaves come out and the old leaves eventually fall in spring, not winter And that new the new dropping of the old leaves becomes nutrition for the tree spring So it's like they're waiting for to use it in spring if they're in an area where there's not as much nutrients in the soil. It's like a whole thing. Some people think, o, it's because it prevents deer from scavenging on the tree if there's withered old leaves on it during the wintert time when the tree is like the most vulnerable So there's like a whole lot of theories. It's like a phenomenon, right? But the fact that its people think it's a weird thing to name the Deluxe album. Because it's also not a common word. It's also not a common phenomenon that really anybody knew about unless you have a really strong liking for trees. And for the past seven months, so after that, Celeste Body is found before his Deluxe album really drops And for the past seven months, David has been free. and nobody's really heard from him There are rumors that he was watching movies with a letterbox account. Others are saying that he was On Fortnight, but nobody really knew where he was or what he was doing. There are alleged DMs between him and another artist by the name of Kaiden with Kayden DMing David october fifteenth, twenty twenty five. A month after Celeste's body is found in David's car. So Kayen released these to a TikToker and was like, ye, I was talking to him And like I don't know why Kayden is even messaging David, but he messages David in October Celest body has been found pray it's all just misinformation, the internet sucks, to which David responds really does so much twisted and fake. I'm sorry, dude God bless you twin, keepe going with your music and don't stop for nothing. That's David. Thank you, gang. I'll never forget you help me so much with the bandlab shit, Big inspo bro. I hope you're sayaying safe for real man love you. Then notably, december eighteenth, twenty twenty five, he messages David once more writing I know you're innocent, bro, but like why can't the world know these people are stupid? I do think that Kada Nice has since changed his mind up about all of this, but But were you even pomped for him to say that? Yeah, and I don't think these DMs are doing him any favors. David responds, Haha, with all humility, I would phrase it as mere ignorance rather than unintelligence. Trust in God, my friend. How is your journey into faith going? Yet David starts recommending him certain verses. He says that after reading all like the books that cover all of Jesus' life up until his death, quote Th then after that, read psalms and proverbs, which is basically the motivational part of the Bible that teaches you how to pray. Bible is confusing, but if you read it in that order, it starts to make sense. Reading it in chronological order is tricky LMo Damn dude, thank you. Of course, my go, When people stop stalking my Instagram followers to make conspiracy theories, I gotta follow you back Crying emoji. which I mean, he seems like he's if these are real and legitimate, it seems like he is to some degree keeping up with all of the internet discse about him Obviously Attention all fabulous, thriving and gorgeous quueens.

Hey, sometimes those are the best endings to a story. I really liked how Twinless ended. So these are all movies that people have been breaking down of They'll have like some sort of murderous intent to them I don't necessarily know if they're going to hold any value. But later in March, Kayen wishes David a happy birthday, to which he responds, than you brother. A month later, David ises arrested. But the fact that he's still Responding to this person on Instagram DMs, he's checking his Instagram account. He's likely reading what's been happening in the news cycle involving him. likeike what is he doing? And a big question in all of this is, what the hell was his original plan to even begin with? He allegedly kills Celeste, and then what? He allegedly goes through with the very gruesive and dangerous task of dismemembering her body for the purpose of concealment Al to just leave her in his car that he parks outside his rental house in a city like LA where street cleaning schedules, parking tickets, towing is fucking rampant Like while he goes out on tour, it doesn't make any sense whichich is not to say that he didn't do it, but rather if he did what's the plan What's the plan Eventually it would come back to him because Celeste remains Even if they weren't found, at some point they would have looked into him, No So the brief, the preliminary brief that the prosecutors dropped, they detail another thing that's happened. They believe that David met Celest back in january twenty twenty two, which is when she would have been eleven. He starts allegedly grooming her, violating her in November of twenty twenty three. And I will say that a lot of people have been using the word relationship in reference to what was happening even though charges have been filed. I think that's just a legal thing. I think because a lot of people are trying to stay as close to quoting the prosecutor's brief to legally protect themselves. But I do understand that relationship is not exactly the word that I would personally use Anyway, he starts allegedly grooming and violating Celeste, November of twenty twenty three. She's thirteen, he's eighteen Within months of what could be, again, grooming, she goes missing Her family report her missing February and April of twenty twenty four. so this is almost like exactly a year before she passes. They report this to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, so not the LAPD, because that's where Celest lives. And RCSD, they pull up Celest's phone records and notice that she's been communicating with a very specific number They call it, it's David. During this call, he's just informing the officers I probably spoke to her last like february thirteenth, fourteenth, like Valentine's Day but he states that he was not aware that she's a minor, let alone the fact that she's been reported missing. So back in twenty twenty four, you's like, I don't know she's minor Wow RCSD tell him, okay, well, we don't care because we're going to send the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department to your house because that's just what we have to do. The report reads that the LASD, this sheriff's department, comes to the house at around eight fifteen PM This is the previous rental house. I don't know if you care to know this, but it's not the one where her body was found Outside, right letting David know they're like, Hey, we're looking for a thirteen year old girl. a runaway That's how they describe her in the documents. And he's claiming, I had no idea she was thirteen. I had no idea she was minor. I only met her one time back in November of last year in twenty twenty three. So like I talked to her last maybe like a few days ago, but I have not seen her Like I haven't seen her since. I met her one time. But for whatever reason, David is like, Hey officers, do you want to see a picture of Celeste? And out of all the possible photos. And again, the document does not list what year if it was phot like If it was phhotoshopped, but he just like pulls up a yearbook photo of Celeste. Now I think that this is a yearbook photo that does not show the graduating class or like what age she is because clearly that would not line up with his live. Like I didn't know she was thirteen. But he just shows them the yearbook photo. Very odd photo And also, why would you have somebody's earbook photo after you just met them one time? Yeah, that's fucking weird. Nevertheless, the court document reads, although he claim to be unaware of where the victim was at the time, she returned home two days later. So two days after the LA shheriff's department goes to his house, she goes back home, which seems very convenient. And if there was any grace for David, it seems like it ends here because court documents read despite being informed by law enforcement, the victim was only thirteen defeendant continued to pursue her. So this is like the grace would end here. The whole I didn't know her age lie would end here And that's the first time she goes missing, which is kind of deplorable when you think that she goes missing Again, in April of twenty twenty five, and the police never went to go check up on David before her body is found, like they never went to go question him. Ct document states, throughout twenty twenty four, the victim spent a significant amount of time with the defendant, including summer weekends at his home in the Hollywood Hills and traveling with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas to meet his family Yeah, more on that later. More on London and Texas are going to be very important But sometime, november twenty twenty four, investigators put together through their text messages breaking upike they end up in that very it's like a rough area. And breaking up is obviously not the correct word, but you get what I'm saying. They're still communicating, but quote, text messages suggest they also continued to have sexual relations, but it just seems very rocky. And there's clearly a lot of people that know about this too, because when Celestes missing the first time in twenty twenty four and police had shown up to David's house It said that er parents took away her phone when she comes back So the first time she goes missing a year before her death, she comes back home, they take away her phone. But according to court documents, defendant drove to Lake Elsinonorore and paid a junior high school student in the victim's class a thousand dollars to give the victim a cell phone defendant purchased so they could stay in contact. Do you guys remember the photo of David in Lake Elin with like a bunch of kids. That's it. People think it's that. Now there's no confirmation because people haven't. I mean the prosecutors probably have confirmation, but he was like allegedly giving these young kids raising canes and money See, when I That was at first, you were like Okay, we don't know what really is happening. But knowing this It feels even worse. Yeah yeah It just seems like a lot of people knew what was going on. Even the teacher that came out, remember the teacher was like, Ohh yeah, I taught her. And then she met this rapper in LA. thoseose are his words. He came and got her. She ran away from home. She was gone for like a month. The cops found her in Hollywood brought her back to our school. She came back to our school, kind of you know, told people the story. She disappeared again. L these are his direct quotes He was like excitedly almost talking about it in class. if you guys remember in the first two videos, I covered that. So again, this just goes to show a lot of people knew what was going on to some degree. And then remember the february twenty sixth, twenty twenty four, there was a comment left on David's TikTok that read waiting for LAPD to get your ass for messing with a thirteen year old girl This was around the time that she go missing the first time. Then on Discord, there was a comment that was from August of twenty twenty four that reads, Drop the one with the missing girl Celeste Rives Hernandez in reference to the song. Netizens think that either the kids at Celeste school knew about it and were blackmailing him because that seems to be a huge theory or that he was paying kids to buy a phone for Celeste and giving them money to keep quiet so that he could continue talking to her This just doesn't seem like a very well kept secret what he was doing to Celeste. It seems like a lot of people to some degree had some sort of inkling of what was happening. So what was the plan? It makes such little sense that people have started to circulate conspiracies online that David didn't get rid of Celeste's remains because he was keeping her as a trophy to live out some sort of sick fantasy of having a sacrifice for fame I don't think is the case, but I will briefly cover some of the discourse. A lot of it stems from a manga David mentioned in an interview previously that he likes this manga where there's a detective who is investigating a string of murders. He's committing those murders. He just doesn't know it yet. So he's committing the murders and then he's investigating it. And based off the description, that manga seems to be MPD psycho, multiple persononality disorder psycho, which I mean, obviously, the name is problematic in and of itself. but it's about a detective who is investigating a serial killer, who has a penchant for dismembering their victims That is their typical MO The serial killer eventually sends the detective an ice box with another victim's torso and head The limbs have been amputated. The legs and arms are gone, just the torso and head, which is I guess people are saying it's equating to how Celeste is similarly found. The detective opens it up. It's his girlfriend who is still somehow alive during all of this. The detective hunts down the killer, kills him, and this is where he develops DID. He serves his time in prison, he's released, but then he realizes that that was him all along It's just like this very complicated multi seasonal show manga. He starts working for this PI company where he realizes that on his left eye, there's this bar coat that has been tattooed on under the eyelid He learns that there's this whole organization that tattoos the left eyes of serial killers, which is how he finds out that he must have killed before. That leads him to believe that maybe he's always had altars since his childhood. In the anime, the left eye, known as the bar code, is almost the identifying soul of the person. That has been a point of contention for netizens, and just to give you context, when they found Celeste's head, the autopsy read, the head is partially skeletonized with an absent left eye. The right eye is still there. Now side note, some believe the left eye as being intentionally gone because in the autopsy, it says that the left eye is absent It doesn't say that it was partially consumed or that it had liquefied That has led a lot of people, including even big public figures like Nancy Grace to speculate that that eye was intentionally taken. I will say it is known that during decomposition the yice can collapse inside the sockets and there's multiple different species and types of insects with high insect activity found in the body bag, so I will say it seems highly likely that it was just fully consumed magots But some people have been using that element to bolster the theory that maybe he was recreating this manga when he allegedly killed Celeste. because he does, I will say he does seem heavily interested in Japanese culture and manga. He even had his own alter ego, he called Itami that we talked about in the previous episodes. In an interview, he talks about how Itami is the Japanese word for pain. It's the villain of his album He's the one making me withered and feel all these emotions like grief and confusion. He's the one that is weaving his way into my relationships and ruining them and inducing trauma and things like that. You see him in the music videos and stuff, so he's basically the agent of chaos in this scenario In a previous interview, he states that Itami is a character that he has been ideating on for a really long time, que That's why you see him with the blindfold and the bloody t shirt aesthetic and the bow tie. I'm really big into anime, I'm really big into manga. I wanted to make my own manga series at one point and I was writing a lot of poems and writing a lot of things for it. And a big part of that manga was an evil version of me named Yami. And he wears this blindfold and he's basically an agent of chaos and kind of my alter ego. And the story of the manga went like I was a detective And there was an evil version of myself that would come out at random moments, kind of like fight Club with Tyler Durdan, and he would commit the crimes that I would have to solve as a detective, basically ripping off NPD psycho. So like when I was a detective, I'd be solving murders that I'm committing myself. Netizens think that he might have been too into it. And again, this doesn't mean that he doesn't know right from wrong, but these are just some coincidences, I guess people have been picking up I don't personally subscribe to this whole sacrifice theory, but I think it's just up for debate. The last concert before her body is found, he's also seen wearing a ninety seven shirt on stage, nine seven being september seventh, which is Celeste's birthday. Could be a coincidence, but netizens say that he likes the meaning of numbers, uses the number four in his name, which means dead Oh is that why I don't know. He kind of insinuated in previous interviews that he does it to be unique. like he just thought it was cool. but some people are using it as like, See, he really cares about numbers. So he's wearing this ninety seven shirt. It must have meant something. In an interview that's released later in May, he's asked, you know, as for if he would do anything differently with his album, Heartbreak, Eiencing Heartbreak, writing through it. He responds Everything, especially the mistakes in the music that I made in all the artistic flaws that I've had in the process of me building a great album, have been important and kind of needed for this entire process. So I wouldn't give myself any other advice than just, yeah, it wouldn't change anything because if I did, then it wouldn't be an album. There would be no progression and any evolution and maturity. So yeah, keep everything the same It seems like this is after he allegedly killed Celeste. So he's saying I would keep everything the same, which isn't really necessarily an admission of guilt, but it's just an interesting thing to note. Then there's the issue with the two fingers being missing. So the two fingers being missing, I've seen this theory circulate quite frequently is, well the left ring finger police believe prosecutors believe that the David tattoo was on Celeste's left ring finger. Now I will say it would be very tricky for him to just cut the ring finger, so that's probably why the pinky is also missing But people have kind of taken this and made it something bigger. S think that it's the Japanese tradition of atonement and remorse for the pinky finger. It's dated back to the Yukuza days. So back then when the Yuzas were heavily around, they would cut off a tip of their own pinky as atonement as remorse. It's almost like you're this is how you ask for forgiveness. orr when there were Yuakuza wars, they would cut off the remaining people who are now going into their Yakuza. So like let's say Yuza A takes over Yuakuza B. members of Yuakuza B would have their pinky finger taken off because it's very hard to hold a sword, a katana. if you have your pinky finger chopped or like severed because it'll slip out when you're fighting. No, I mean, I think that it genuinely just seems like logistically it would be very hard to take the ring finger without the pinky finger so he just took it both. It might be easier that way. But where is it? We don't know. If he did keep the fingers as a trophy, wouldn't the police have found them? Would he dispose of them after the body was found? but that would be very risky because I'm sure the police are watching as every move. Was it before the body was found and if then is it in Santa Barbara One person writes, The current theory that David kepts the last two fingers as a trophy makes me hesitate. I work in medical psych. He just sounds like a narcissistic kid, not a genius. I honestly think he took them to Santa Barbara and launched them off a cliff or into the woods. That's it. I think his thought process was, now no one will know we knew each other because he's a complete dipshit, not a mastermind People want him to be this deep, calculating killer. His lyrics were all the same and they were basic, the way he spoke in interviews sounded like a high schooler who just discovered new words he could use. He's not that guy. And honestly, if he actually kept them as a trophy, we would already know because at some point in some video, they'd be sitting in the background or hinted at because any attention is good attention to someone like him and he can't help himself. He's not intelligent He's just a moron who thought he could get away with it. So if he's not keeping Celest' remains as a sacrifice or some sort of sick trophy. What was his plan? One person theorizes, I think he put her body in his trunk intending to dispose of it, but after the nasty work of dismembering Her being in the trunk felt gone enough that avoidance kicked in. He meant to dispose of her, but at any given moment it was easier to just pretend the problem didn't exist. He had other cars to drive, plenty of friends and activities to distract him. Maybe he hadn't settled on a spot he felt confident about Plus, once the body is out of his hands, he can't control the situation. A random body out in the woods or in the desert, dug up by animals may not be reported in the news and he may have no idea she's been found. In his trunk, he stays in control, or so he thinks. Days turns into weeks, turns into months, and then nothing bad happens, just a few parking tickets, no big deal. I mean, they haven't towed the car yet Why would they now? The murder victim in it becomes easier to ignore each day, especially with the album dropping and the upcoming tour to think about. The smell isn't so bad, right? People probably think it's road kill somewhere before the breeze carries it away. right? One person comments about the smell. I don't know. I smelled a dead body after just a few days. It was summer in a hot apartment and I had to throw out my clothes and scrub myself raw in the shower because that shit Permeates nostrils. We also don't know when the body was moved to the car. The prosecutors hint at the fact that they think the body has been in the car since dismemberment. But a lot of people just don't understand how that's feasible in any sense of the word. When was the body moved to the car? Is it true? Because august twenty seventh, twenty twenty six, by this point, it would have already had multiple hot days in Los Angeles. Parking enforcement had chockked the car. Do you remember that They had come out and they chalked where the car was positioned and there was no odor complaint. And like the parking enforcement officer was close enough to mark tire positions on august twenty seventh, but apparently they didn't report any sort of smell. By september eighth, the smell triggers a police call. They just don't understand how she was kept in that trunk for that long and how nobody could even move the car, how nobody smelled it before and called the police And then suddenly it goes to the tow yard and now there's flies. L there weren't flies circling the car before. It just doesn't make sense to a lot of people. Even when they're towing the car Wouldn't the tow truck driver sense it first Unlest maybe there was just like a random heat wave, but even that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Some people think that he actually placed her in the trunk purposefully to try and speed up decomposition. and that goes back to the burn cage. The burn cage that he ordered, it seems that he kept it still in the box, according to the PI. So why didn't he use the burn cage? Some people think that he was waiting for her to decompose because it would just be easier to try and burn the human bones into ash Now, some people think, no, he got the burn cage and then he realized he couldn't use the burn cage because burn cages require very specific outlets So that was like their whole argument of like, I've worked with burn cages, like you can't just plug it up into a standard one hundred and twenty volt home outlet. I will say the specific burn cage he got is not even power generated So it's like a steel containment box. You put in all your rubbish, you light it on fire, and then you just wait until it burns out or you have a hose and you hose it down. So he wouldn't need any sort of electrical power. Or maybe he just realized burning anything in the Hollywood Hills would instantly cause a lot of attraction and attention and the firefighters would come immediately. I don't know. One comment reads the fact fucking pool was still in his house is the final piece of evidence I need to know that he simply was a dumbass. No longer, maybe he had a plan and ran out of time. Nope, just plain stupid. That could have been thrown out and long gone in a landfill, yet the idiot kept it. Yeah There's been a lot of speculation about that because people are arguing, well, if you throw out the entire inflatable pool It's just very difficult. Someone's going to see it, they're going to notice blood on it. Other people are saying, he had a lot of time. He could have slowly cut the pool into small shreds, not shreds, but small pieces and then slowly put those pieces in his trash and then eventually they would have ended up in the landfill. Others are saying, maybe that's not possible. It's sounds like he has a lot of time, but also he doesn't have a lot of time Yeah, he has a lot of enough time to hang out and relax here and there, but he is on tour a lot. He does have a lot of contractually obligated things that I think he must do, even you know the live stream the day after killing Celeste. I think one of the things is some people think that it's him showing off to the world like, Hey, I'm just gonna live stream as normal I actually think that he's probably contractually obligated to live stream if he was releasing some sort of Fortnite locker and he was the whole point of the story was he started as a Fortnite streamer Yeah, or these are probably already pre plananned. Yeah, rightight. So canceling would be more suspicious Yeah maybe. So I mean, he has time, he doesn't have a lot of time. I don't know. It's just it's odd. I think a lot of months had gone by, but I don't know what's going on. Some people are really confused why David left Celeste head and torso inside the body bag and then left the rest of her limbs inside of a trash bag underneath Whereas he could have placed the limbs in the body bag as well or at least placed the trash bag inside the body bag, but maybe it was the confinement of the front trunk. The autopsy notes that she was liquefied, which the body bag seems to have kept the liquids in. There's also a debate about the PI that was hired by the homeowner, and I'm going to go and like do a whole deep dive into him in a second, but he went into the garage and he's just really confused. Can you tell me where did this PI come from? What part of the timeline is that? So in right after Celestes body is found, the homeowners because that house was a rental home in the Hollywood Hills The homeowners are so taken aback Because they didn't know David was living in their house. The home was leased under David's manager's name So they're like, I thought a guy named Josh Marshall was living in my house. Why the fuck is this guy named David living in my house and they found a body in his car? I didn't even know he was living in our house. The homeowners have young kids. they decide I just This is so stressful. We don't even live in the state. We're gonna to hire this private investigator and we just want to know exactly who's been in the house, what's been going on in the house? like we just want answers because if we ever go back to LA with our children, like we don't want to stay in this house, like we don't know what's going on We don't know. So they hiire this private investigator and he had access to the house almost immediately after the police searched it. David quickly moved out, obviously, right after that. He moved, I guess to that house in the Hollywood Hills. But the police took pieces of evidence, but they also left a lot of things. David also left a lot of things. They left a lot of furniture, David left some SD cards that the PI has been going through. There's been nothing particularly dammning except there are some photos of Celeste, like when they went to appears to be Santa Barbara to take pictures, It's like a very scenic place. Yeah, there' the last time that they were taking pictures together was like in January. There's a little bit of like small nuggets the PI has been releasing. He's been doing his own research. Some people don't really like this PI because he is pretty vocal with pointing the fingers at people. Really? Yeah, someome might say with reckless abandon. someome might say he's ate and he's keeping in the news. I don't know, I guess it's up for you to decide. But he has been hired and he released pictures of inside the garage and that's how we know the exact burn cage. The prosecutors just said burn cage. The PI actually released pictures of this burn cage months ago, but nobody knew what was going on. He was just like, Hey guys, I found a burn cage in the garage and chainsaw, he found a chainsaw as well There was no obviously tissue or anything on there. It was just like chainsaw packaging. And he's like, so the weapon It was not found, right I think the police probably took it. Yeah. So he's like, I found this and I found the burn cage and I just can't comprehend why David would need it because this is a rental home. He's not fixing anything up. He's not doing landscaping Like this is why would he need these things? Nobody knew until the prosecutor's brief came out. So that's how we know the exact brand of the burn cage Introducing Taco Bell's new jalapeno citrus salsa with bright citrus, real red jalapenos, guailo chiles.

Try the pod by eight sleep eight sleep. com The big thing that the PI has been saying is he just doesn't understand Because once this prosecutor brief drops, it's like, oh, he did this in the garage with the inflatable pool. That's literally what the prosecutors have told us. The PI is saying, when you guys came in and searched the house, I mean, you did not crime scene the shit out of this place. Like they did some luminal tests, but it didn't seem like this massive operation where a full dismemberment took place in the garage and you guys are locking everything down. L you guys were pretty In and out quick He's also saying the garage is two stories tall. If there's any sort of spatter, that would be really difficult for David to clean and David doesn't look like a good cleaner. On top of that, the floor of the garage is like brick. It's like the craziest garage floor I've ever seen in my life. It's like the side of a house. It's brick. There's so much grout, there's so much brick. Oh, so it's hard to clean. Yeah. so he's like, I just don't understand how this happened in the garage. The PA has been saying I think he killed her in Santa Barbara. I think he did this inant. So there's lots of what whichich a lot of people are like, maybe he shouldn't put out these crazy theories. So there's a debate about that. There's a debate about everything in this case. like one sentence is twenty debates. okay They didn't do their own testing in the garage to see if there's any blood. Yeah or at least not that I know of. but maybe you guys can correct me if I'm wrong. So that's where a lot of the whole theory of, okay, well maybe he inflated the pool because oh, there's been another thing. People have kept calling it a kiddy pool. We have no idea if that's true. In fact, it seems like it was not a kiddy pool The prosecutor said inflatable blue pool, but everybody has been running with Kitty pool for whatever reason. I guess it's a better title. I guess it's a better clickbait, but it seems like it was like a full size pool size difference. Yeah, size difference and then size difference is kind of important. so it could have been inflated. And then a chainsaw. The chainsaw has been a huge point of contention. One Emmy states that a regular handsw would probably be a lot better. Like you might just get a little bit of tissue. You're gonna have some blood. Traainsaws are gonna sling actual tissue everywhere. So the idea that this had to be cleaned up completely, there's no way, No way under God's green heaven that you're going to be able to clean up every bit of tissue deposition that there is. I mean, you might think you've gotten it, but once the cops get in there and they have enough time, they're going to collect something. I did some research into it because all the Ems are say like form it's like news, o, we're here with a former forensic expert And they're all like, no, a chainsaw would have gotten blood everywhere. So I'm like, okay, this doesn't make sense. If David cleaned it, I don't think he's cleaning it alone. So that's where I went down this whole rabbit hole. And apparently, there's a whole case about it. A bit of a morbid test was done back in two thousand nine. There was a study published in the Journal of Forensic Science, where there was a real investigation into a woman who had been taken apart by a small electric chainsaw a small one. And there were multiple questions that the investigators had because the investigators, they found such little blood splatter Which didn't make sense. In everybody's mind, according to the movies, when you think of people with chainsaws, everything's splattering everywhere. The investigators were so puzzled by this, it led to a study where forensic pathologists dismembered two very large diseased pigs with small electric chainsaws under controlled conditions. and they found that depending on how you hold the chainsaw, parallel to the floor Very little splatter occurs, actually. Interesting Another misconception is that the chainsaw would get jammed, which doesn't seem to be the case even with the tiny electric chainsaws with the pigs. So those were the findings that they had that even the small ones can cut through large carcasses without much difficulty, thus disproving, I guess all the movie effects of Texas Chainsaw massacre And all the experts making comments right now But again, you would have to hold it in a very specific direction. But I guess that might be what makes sense in this so that there's not blood splatter everywhere because I think that is posing as a big question mark and everyone's like maybe he killed her somewhere else, which I feel like the police would know that However, I would imagine timing would also be important. Prosecutors believe that David dismembered the last twelve days after her death. Netizens theorize online like where was she for twelve days, you know? And then also once you're twelve days into decomposition, unless you're kept in a really Cold Guess cool environment It's going to be really hard to move somebody's body because there's skin slippage. there's a lot of fluid buildup. It's not even just about callalling dead weight, it's things are moving in the skin. Yeah, exactly. So where was she kept If you didn't get the pool until at least may first. So David lives there by himself He lives there by himself right I imagine lots of people have the keys to that place. Yeah, because isn't like his friends, his family always His family lives in Texas, his friends, I mean, it doesn't appear that anybody lives with him. If anything, I think the prosecutors believe at some point Celest was obviously living with him when she was missing. So there's just like it doesn't make any sense if there was Where was she for twelve days? Which is why TMZ initially, they reported that Celeste had been frozen at some point. The LAPD actually came out to say that's not true at all, that she was not frozen when they found her in the trunk. But that wording is also interesting of not frozen in the trunk when you know, there's no evidence that she was frozen recently But if she had been deceased for so many months, maybe she had been frozen the first twelve days There's lots of confusion there. Though I will say, I usually take everything TMZ says with A bag of salt And if he's just ordering things on Amazon, Why is he not ordering any cleaning supplies? He doesn't strike me as someone who stockpiles cleaning supplies. He doesn't seem like the type that he opens up a cabinet and he's like, I got twelve vacuums and I got all the lysells and the chloroxes, I have everything. So he didn't postm it, he didn't order it on Amazon. Maybe he went to the store and paid in cash, but that also doesn't seem like him. He's postmaking a shovel to his house I don't think that he's gonna go to a store and buy chlorox wipes. Right. So you're wondering, how come there's not much sign of cleaning? Yes, but also maybe that's where the smell is coming from. Maybe he kept her inside the house in one of the bathrooms for twelve days and then moved her to the garage to dismember her. and there could be remnants of the decomposition scent that he did not thoroughly clean and it's just been lingering inside the house So rather than the very morbid conspiracy that she was kept in the house, her remains were kept in the house up until like July. Perhaps it could be that he just did not clean well I don't know. People are just saying, it's irking me that she wasn't frozen. That's what people are saying. People are saying, this seems virtually impossible. Nothing makes sense right now. There has also been the very big discourse about whether or not she was pregnant. The autopsy report reads that it was unclear whether or not she was pregnant. That's just how they have to write it. because if they don't have definitive proof that she was or was not They can't definitively say one way or the other. However, there was no fetus found. Her ovaries were inaropriate size. There was no trauma that they could find Eise at this point in the decomp. So there's no indication that she was pregnant at the time of her passing, but a lot of people have inflated unclear to, oh, she probably was But that also doesn't mean that it hadn't happened before. So remember those discord chat logs. David was in the discord asking questions like what should I name my kid guys? Deleted user who people believe to be Celeste is writing, guysuys, I think I'm pregnant. Investigators have found messages between David and Celeste where they talk about quote, sex, pregnancy, abortion, and the use of planlan B emergency contraceptives. There are also explicit photographs documenting and corroborating their sexual relationship. And at one point, march twenty twenty five, so a month before she's killed, she messaged him. All we do is have sex and just hang out, man I want more than that for myself. They also found
