Basically, the crime being...

his sexual activities with a minor, and she is the witness to the crime committed against her.

And they can prove they're saying that there was a sexual relationship between David and Celeste down to using text messages exchanged between the pair, like this one that was sent from Celeste to David in March 2025, just one month before she died.

She texts David saying, all we do is have sex and hang out, man.

I want more than that for myself.

So the day after these argumentative texts, David invited Celeste over.

On the 23rd of April 2025, at 8.40pm, an Uber that he ordered picked Celeste up from her home in Lake Elsinore and drove her to his house, 90 miles away.

The pair were texting throughout this journey and Celeste was dropped off at 10.10pm.

20 minutes later, at 10.30pm, David texts Celeste's phone asking, where are you?

But she didn't reply.

In fact, Celeste never uses that phone again and was never seen alive again.

The theory is, from the prosecution, that this text was sent by David as a cover to pretend that Celeste had never arrived at his house.

You can check on Uber.

And look, this is the point, right?

Like, okay, okay.

He's trying something here.

He's like, let me send this text message, and then I've got some plausible deniability I could say she never turned up here.

But, like, let's say she got out of that Uber.

Because, again, I'm pretty sure Uber have records of all of those things, right?

People getting out.
