Why is no-one talking about the d4vd situation?

Every update I see makes me feel physically sick.

Even if he’s innocent there’s no coming back from this.

But the car was abandoned over a month ago. Why would you leave a decomposed dismembered body in your own car and then abandon it somewhere it was going to be found

Bodies decompose quickly in a hot car. Even faster if they have been dismembered.

D4vd’s first tour stop was Atlanta, GA on 15th August.

His abandoned car was discovered on 8th September due to reports of the smell coming from a lock up.

The body wasn’t too badly decomposed for them to note since she went missing just before her 14th birthday, she gained a tattoo that matches a tattoo he also has.

LA PD thought there was enough evidence to issue a search warrant and seize all his devices on 17 September.

He then cancels his tour, right before he is due to leave the country.

He is a “person of interest” for sure.

As to why?
Maybe the murderer was as stupid as an ex of mine who thought plastic bin bags stop all bad smells.

Who knows? The forensic report will have more answers. I really feel for the family of Celeste though. Whoever kidnapped and murdered her should be caught and get a life sentence.

Why are people acting like a crusty old High Court judge without access to a (checks notes) 'search engine'?

From the scant information provided, I wouldn’t even know what to Google to find out what the OP is posting about.

It’s usual to give some clue as to what your post is about, rather than assume readers want to bother their arse googling it.

If people “don’t want to bother their arse” then they can just keep scrolling?

She was 14 she was killed before she had chance to turn 15. Her body was so badly decomposed they don't know if she was dismembered or not.

"allegedly" D4vid had been seeing her since she was 11 and had been bribing her mother and friends to keep their mouths shut.

I wondered if it was actually his car. I mean yes, registered to him - but bought for someone else in the girls family. If he was bribing people to keep quiet that seems even more likely.

I can't understand how anyone could be so stupid as to abandon their own car with a body in it OR why he's not been arrested - but maybe it's not as black and white as it seems.

Given the unusual spelling of his name, I’d wager that just typing in D4vd would be sufficient.

BloodandGlitter · 21/09/2025 22:58

She was officially missing 18 months but her friends hadn't seen her since August.

I thought it was a typo.

GreeneryGrass · 21/09/2025 23:02

What has happened (and the alleged info that continues to come out) is incredibly disturbing. When they first found the body, there was a rumour that his car was stolen, so I hadn't really thought it could actually be his doing. But everything I've seen online these last few days is so disturbing. Poor girl.

From what I've seen, it looks like he had been grooming Celeste since she was 11, and their "relationship" was well known amongst their online circle. They were allegedly in the same Discord server (I believe this was a Discord solely for David's fans? I could be wrong) where their interactions were common knowledge. I've just found this screenshot of a message the Mods sent out on this discord server, I feel like this says everything about their alleged relationship?

But most people have no clue who he is! He's not exactly well known. On the other hand Robert Redford dying, well everyone knows who is!

I have absolutely no idea who robert redford is and most of his films came out before I was born ! Im assuming this is a generation gap...D4vid has over 36 MILLION listeners across the world per month according to Spotify (more than the beatles) He absolutely is famous

Sure. If people read something and go 'Er - what?' they will generally scroll on by, rather than make the effort.

But the whole point of your thread is that you are asking why people aren't talking about it. And by not providing enough information in the OP, you're weren't exactly helping the situation, were you?

Oh go away. I don’t care enough to have an inane argument over something so irrelevant. Although clearly you’re gagging for the attention.

Anyone that wants to talk about the situation I’m here for it. People desperate for attention I’m not here for it and will be ignored.

Your question was why is no one taking about it. The answer to the question is that many people don’t know about it.

No one is desperate for attention but explaining that many people don’t know who this person is or what they have done.

If you want a discussion about a news story then start the thread with a link to the news story.

This thread is making me feel sick, is it even appropriate?

AmpleLilacQuail · 21/09/2025 23:59

I’ve seen quite a bit online OP and it’s just so awful.

She was seen in the background of a lot of social media posts/lives etc. Suspicion that she was pregnant at one point too.

Apparently it was partial remains found in the car. If you google you can find out the type of car and the storage space it has.

Why are people acting like a crusty old High Court judge without access to a (checks notes) 'search engine'?

There is a reason why judges, old and crusty or not, ask questions in court which they could have found the answers to by using a search engine. This thread is a good demonstration.

I have absolutely no idea who robert redford is and most of his films came out before I was born !

So you do have an idea who he was - you know he was a film actor.

?? Its almost like I did what other people on this post could've done before going "who is he ??" ...i googled his name and looked at the film tab lmaooo what a silly response

Edited

Is discussing an event that’s being publicly reported on “appropriate”? Has murder never been discussed on MN’s before? I guess all those Charlie Kirk threads I saw were a figment of my imagination.

If it’s making you feel sick you could just not read it? Or is that concept too difficult for you to grasp.

Stupidity? Or the arrogance to think that you can pay your way out of anything, from having an 11 year old 'girlfriend' to murder.

No one is talking about it because we’ve never heard of him, not seen a single thing in British media. He’s not famous here so nobody will have picked up on any stories

It was reported on the BBC News site. I’d never heard of him before that though.

It’s horrendous to think of all that poor child has been through.

Authorities say the cause and time of the 15-year-old girl's death are still unknown.

He has 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify, was doing a tour of the US, Europe and Australia, was on ad campaigns for Crocs and Hollister (now removed), I could go on … I’m not saying he’s Taylor Swift but saying he’s not that widely known is an absolute reach,

Clearly he's not well known because most people on this thread haven't heard of him, which is a fairly representative sample. People aren't lying.

FallingIntoAutumn · 22/09/2025 07:50

I think the answer may lie in the fact he’s not that well known in the U.K.
