Description

Mladen Trifunovic, the owner of the home Burke was renting for $20,000 a month, has hired private investigator Steve Fischer to try and find out what was happening in the home he owns. Fischer was hired shortly after a forced-search entry search warrant was served at the home. Nobody was home when police served a search warrant, and no paperwork was left behind to indicate what was being sought or what was taken. Fischer is helping provide additional information for law enforcement and make sure nothing is missed in the search for what happened to Celeste. The LAPD says Celeste had been deceased for weeks before being discovered in Burke's Tesla.  Private investigator Steve Fischer says he has seen surveillance video from neighbor homes and knows exactly when the Tesla was last moved and who moved it to the location from where it was towed, in very late July, but cannot reveal that yet. The Tesla owned by Burke had been his daily driver for a long time, regularly getting the car cleaned inside and out. However, when the Tesla was towed, it was dirty with body damage. PI Fischer says it looks like the car had been "off-road" in the desert with wheel wells beat up and a huge dent in the back.  While his former daily driver sits dirty by the curb for weeks, Burke keeps a clean, red Tesla in the garage. Surveillance cameras in the Hollywood Hills build a complete timeline showing when Burke's Tesla was parked on Bluebird Avenue, who parked it, and whether anything was placed in the vehicle after it was parked. There is also no evidence indicating Celeste's body was transferred into the Tesla AFTER it was parked on the street.
