The investigation into the tragic disappearance and death of 15-year-old Celeste Reeba, whose body was discovered inside the trunk of singer David’s (D4VD) Tesla, has taken a shocking turn. For months, the public and media focused squarely on David as the prime suspect, but recent reports and leaked evidence now suggest the singer is not only not a murder suspect but may have been the victim of an elaborate, sinister setup.

The most damning evidence that shattered the initial police narrative was not found by law enforcement, but by a private investigator, Steve Fischer, hired by the owner of the house David was renting. Fischer uncovered surveillance video that revealed a key detail about the night the Tesla was abandoned.

The Mystery Driver and the Air Freshener

The critical surveillance footage showed the moment David’s Tesla was driven to the location where Celeste’s body was eventually found. Key details from the footage and the car:

A New Suspect: The driver behind the wheel was not David. The footage allegedly shows a person wearing “something pretty distinctive,” which a person at David’s house was seen wearing 12 hours earlier.
The Corpse Was Already Inside: Police have reportedly confirmed that Celeste’s body was already inside the car’s front trunk when the mystery driver dropped it off.
A Clue to Cover-Up: Fischer spotted a seemingly insignificant detail: a cheap, green Christmas tree air freshener hanging in the Tesla’s rearview mirror. This was noted as “totally out of place” for a luxury car, suggesting someone was attempting to mask a smell, indicating they knew Celeste’s body was inside.

This single piece of evidence—a non-D4VD driver and a cover-up device—immediately flipped the narrative, suggesting the car was moved by someone else to frame the singer or conceal the circumstances of Celeste’s passing. The mystery driver’s identity remains withheld by police, fueling speculation about who they are protecting.

Allegations of Police Mishandling and Setup

The video and insider leaks suggest that law enforcement severely mishandled the investigation, lending credence to the theory that David was set up:

Evidence Ignored: When police searched David’s rental home, they allegedly found heavy-duty equipment, plastic wrap, duct tape, industrial gloves, and custom knives—items suggesting a planned cover-up or desecration. Despite the chilling implications, police reportedly left the items behind, and subsequent tests revealed no DNA or fingerprints belonging to David on any of the equipment.
Contradictory Evidence: Investigators noted the Tesla had been driven off-road before being dumped, with its wheels caked in dust. This, combined with the earlier finding of a missing-person’s phone miles away from David’s home, suggests a far more complex timeline and a deliberate effort to stage the scene.
The “Swatting” History: Furthermore, an eerie pattern of targeting David has been exposed. Resurfaced body cam footage from a years-old, fake 911 “swatting” call at David’s family home—where a person claimed a shooting and death had occurred—now suggests a long-term, sinister setup against the singer.

While the police have quietly backed away from murder accusations, sources state they are embarrassed and are still trying to link David to other crimes connected to the case to salvage their investigation. The only confirmed charge related to the incident is desecration of a corpse, a charge that suggests a cover-up rather than a direct act of violence by the person who moved the body.

For now, David has hired a top-tier defense lawyer and is undergoing media training, moving like a man fighting to rebuild his life after surviving the biggest alleged frame-up in recent music history. The court of public opinion is now divided, with many demanding the police release the unedited footage to finally reveal the true identity of the mystery driver.
