The teenager's body was discovered in the trunk of singer D4vd's Tesla in Hollywood.
CELESTE Rivas Hernandez's body was found in singer D4vd's car a day after her 15th birthday.
A missing teenage girl had been dead for several weeks before her decomposing body was discovered stuffed inside the trunk of singer D4vd's Tesla, Los Angeles police said Monday.
Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Scot Williams confirmed the timeline but did not provide a precise time of death. The Los Angeles County medical examiner is now trying to determine the cause of death of the girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Detectives have been working for weeks to trace Celeste's final movements and determine any connections with D4vd, who police say has been cooperating with them.
