    LOOKS LIKE CELESTE RIVAS HERNANDEZ WAS WAY OVER HER HEAD WITH D4VD (DAVID BURKE)

    The teenage years can be difficult for parents as well as the kids going through so many physical and emotional changes. Celeste's parents tried to keep their strong willed daughter at home, safe and under their watch. When she told them she had a "boyfriend," they took her phone away. R&B singer D4vd paid a student at her school to give her a phone he bought for her to use exclusively with him. On February 14, 2024 D4vd sent an Uber to pick her up and bring her to his home in the Hollywood Hills. They named their plan "Operation Awesome." She was 13 years old and he was 19. She returned home to her Riverside County home in Lake Elsinore a few days later after her parents reported her missing the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. She left again on March 19, 2024. And again on April 5, 2024. Always reported to the Sheriffs Department. She and D4vd were dramatic and tumultuous and neither of them had the emotional intelligence to be in a "relationship." No ones brains were fully developed. Prosecutors believe on or about April 23, 2025 D4vd sent an Uber to Celeste's home in Lake Elsinore, 80 miles from his home in Hollywood to bring her to his home for a confrontation. Digital communications show that Celeste was angry at being rejected by D4vd and he was feeling threatened as she said she would tell the world he was sleeping with her an underage girl. The exact dates and what for sure happened are not fully known but you can hear how a 14 year old Celeste ended up in the front trunk of a Tesla owned by David Burke, AKA D4vd, decomposed and found one day before what would have been her 15 birthday. A year where other 15 year olds are celebrated with a Quinceanera ceremony. Even though a judge has decided that there is enough evidence to remand David Anthony Burke over for trial, there are details in the timeline that are still missing. If YOU have any information about Celeste's case please contact LAPD South Bureau Homicide Division 323-786-5100 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    LOOKS LIKE NANCY GUTHRIE'S RANSOM NOTES AE BEING DEBATED

    Four days after Nancy Guthrie turned 84 she was taken from her home overnight on February 1st, 2026. It has been 6 months now. 6 months of not knowing what happened, who did this and most importantly, WHY?!?!? Many notes, emails, communications have been sent to Tucson local TV news stations, TMZ and other news outlets. Some have been debunked after having been traced to a Los Angeles man who wasn't as graceful at hiding his online self as he thought he was. A few notes have been released by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Office. Those two notes that were the original messages that arrived at TMZ, KGUN and KOLD are thought to be the most legitimate. That is now coming up for debate. Six. Months. In. Authorities appear to be no more close to finding Nancy and figuring out who did this... Her Today Show host daughter, Savannah has pleaded with anyone, everyone to share any piece of info that they are thinking about, that the tip-ster might think is too small or insignificant. Let the FBI decide if it might be bigger than you think. If you know ANYTHING about what might have happened to Nancy Guthrie in Tucson AZ on Sunday February 1, 2026 PLEASE CONTACT the FBI at 1-800-CALLFBI Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    LOOKS LIKE NO ONE SHOULD TRUST THIS PROPHET: BLUNT FORCE TRUE CRIMEREVIEW OF "TRUST ME-THE FALSE PROPHET"

    Groups can attract those who are searching, those who are curious, those who are seekers. Unfortunately not all groups are ethical and some even morph into cults. The abuse can be severe with everything from sexual and physical to extreme mental and emotional abuse and almost always financial. Can you give your time, energy, money to something you believe in? if you are of adult age then of course. But when you are born and raised into a thought system that feels counter intuitive to your own body, mind, spirit thats when things get complicated. A small group of people were able to be swayed by a not that smart shyster who convinced grown adults much smarter than him to turn over their wives, daughters and money to him as he proclaimed he was the new prophet of the FLDS church. "Trust Me," is an amalgam of some home videos that were shot by a couple who were trying to save a group of women and girls from being under the spell of a ridiculous narcissist who had never done anything with his own life. The rest of the footage and editing was done by a documentary film crew and while it leaves much to be desired it is a fascinating look into a world few of us have been a part of or can even imagine.
