The night the decomposed remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez were found in David Anthony Burke's Tesla, police in Hempstead, Texas, were dispatched to Burke's parents' home. After receiving a 911 call of shots fired, a woman screaming in the background, and a report of a dead person at the location, officers approach the house with guns drawn. Burke's shocked parents open the door, and Burke's father says, "Someone is messing with us." The details adding fuel to the mystery of the death of the troubled girl as we learn deputies were called to her home 11 times in one year, including three times, March 19, 2024. This is the day Celeste is seen on surveillance video near a liquor store on the same block as her house, walk-running around 7 a.m. The investigation escalated as investigators seized electronics and computers from Burke's rented Hollywood Hills mansion. Their purpose was to locate signs of blood. Using Luminol, a chemical spray that reveals traces of blood, investigators focused their search on the floors, drains, and other surfaces inside the home.
