The mysterious Celeste Rivas case, which began on September 8, 2025, has continued to leave the investigators and public searching for answers. It has been several weeks since the 14-year-old’s body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to rising pop singer, David Anthony Burke a.k.a D4vd. Still, the investigation is incomplete. Authorities are waiting for the medical examiner’s final report, which will play a crucial role in determining what really happened to the young girl from Lake Elsinore. Amid this, here’s how long the whole investigation for the case takes.
When will the investigation results be out in the Celeste Rivas and D4vd case?
According to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner, the cause and the manner of death in the case have been ‘deferred’. That means initial testing could not determine how Celeste Rivas died. Consequently, the examiner has ordered more tests and studies, such as toxicology and other advanced procedures, to determine the cause of death. Some officials explained that cases like these can take weeks or even months to finalize results. It will ultimately decide whether the case will move forward as a homicide or something else entirely.
