Singer-songwriter d4vd, David Anthony Burke, in court today on charges including first-degree murder in the death of teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness to an investigation. Prosecutors allege he killed Celeste to prevent her from exposing their sexual relationship, in turn ruining his musical career.
Celeste's autopsy revealed a gruesome death from multiple stab wounds, in her torso. Her body was subsequently dismembered. Her skull was partially skeletonized and an eye was missing. Two fingers were also gone. During a court hearing today, prosecutors revealed a "significant amount" of child pornography was found on Burke's phone.
D4vd has been denied bail and is now being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. This is the same facility housing Nick Reiner. D4vd's legal team says "actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez".

Coincidence or conspiracy? Eleven U.S. space scientists dead or missing. Now we learn The White House and FBI are investigating this string of suspicious deaths and disappearances individuals involved in classified aerospace, nuclear, and defense research. From deep research into anti-gravity jet propulsion, into special alloys made for high-intensity heat (Molybdenum) and so much more that that is outside the normal realm of expertise. Is there a connect between the victims? Many of them, it appears can be linked to General William Neil McCasland, who oversaw funding and research, and at one point was commanding an entire Air Force base. Is he the lynchpin?
