Celeste Rivas Death Investigation Update – Body Frozen?

True crime followers feel very frustrated with the lack of an arrest in the Celeste Rivas case. However, as more information comes to light, perhaps the police are simply building a strong case. New information revealed that Celeste’s body had been frozen.

Slow Investigation 

The L.A. County Medical Examiner seems slow to identify a cause of death. Obviously, if the frozen body really happened, then it could have complicated matters. TMZ reported on the update this weekend. And, according to their source, freezing could prevent an exact cause of death being established.

Aside from that, people who follow the case already know that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was dismembered. Her body was also in an advanced stage of decomposition inside a Tesla owned by D4vd.

Remember, someone found her body after the rapper abandoned the vehicle. One investigator revealed a surveillance video. In that video, it suggested that an associate of the rapper might have moved the body away from the house by driving the car away. That car was parked outside the rental home he used in LA.

Updates On A Freezer

One major frustration, is the Medical Examiner’s Office difficulty with the cause of death. Obviously, that could mean if someone murdered Celeste Rivas, they might never get prosecuted.

Allegedly, the rental home had a large freezer inside it, per a private investigator. So, it is not unthinkable that someone stored her body there for a while before disposal. Meanwhile, the LAPD treat Celeste’s death as a homicide.

A Long Drive 

Recently, TMZ reported that allegedly, officials now consider D4vd a suspect. Actually, moving and dismembering the body could well have required a second person to help. Puzzlingly, a new report claimed that D4vd took a drive. He reportedly drove to Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night, spending only a few hours there.

Theories arise that perhaps he took Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body to that area months before anyone discovered her. But at this time, it’s hard to say if someone placed her in a freezer in Santa Barbara or in the rental home. Either way, it certainly seems this is a very complicated investigation.

When KTLA5 News shared the update on Instagram, the comments reflected the mood of crime followers. One of them penned, “This story gets more disturbing each time they report on it. lock him up already.”
