0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Monday September twenty second, twenty twenty five. You go away for two days to mock criminals Google searches, and the world completely falls apart. A teenage girl is found dead in singer David's tesla while he's on the other side of the country. Four adults in California were allegedly keeping adopted children in cages under beds like something out of a horror movie. Travis Decker, who murdered his three daughters, has been found dead, and a couple throw a carjacking victim off a bridge because apparently just stealing the car wasn't evil enough. This is what happens when I take a weekend to explore the Google graveyard, the real world graveyard gets fuller. This is Celebrity Trials. Let's start with the breaking celebrity news that has the music world in chaos. D four VD that's spelled D four VD but pronounced David because apparently normal spelling is to mainstream has canceled his world tour after a seventeen year old girl was found dead in his tesla. For those who don't know David Burke, better known as D four VD. He's a twenty two year old rising star with over fifteen million monthly Spotify listeners.

1:24 His song Romantic Homicide has over a billion streams. Yes billion with a B and Yes, the irony of that song title is not lost on anyone. Right now, here's what we know. Friday night, September nineteenth, Celeste Reevas, seventeen, was found dead in a black Tesla Model S registered to David Burke. The car was parked at his Hollywood Hills home. David was in New York at the time, confirmed by multiple witnesses, social media posts, and hotel records. So how does a dead teenager end up in a celebrities car while he's three thousand miles away. The Hollywood Hills home where the Tesla was parked isn't technically David's.

2:07 He's been staying there, according to sources, but it's owned by his label. It's essentially a party house for young artists, producers, and their entourages. Multiple people have access, Multiple people have keys to the Tesla. Celeste Revas was from Riverside, about an hour from Hollywood. Her parents reported her missing Thursday night when she didn't come home from what she said was a study group. Her last text to her best friend at nine forty seven pm Thursday, at the most Insane party. These people are famous, famous, famous famous, not just famous famous famous, the kind of famous that gets you a billion streams and a tesla you leave for other people to use. Security footage shows Celeste entering the Hollywood Hills property at ten fifteen pm Thursday with a group of people. The house was hosting what neighbors describe as a typical Thursday night party, which in Hollywood Hills means two hundred people, DJ, drugs and no supervision. David wasn't there. He was verifiably in New York doing press for his tour that's now canceled. But his car was there, his house was being used. His world is now under investigation.

3:18 The footage shows Celeste leaving the main house at two thirty a m. Friday with an unidentified mail. They walked toward the garage where the tesla is parked. Neither is seen again on camera. The mail has not been identified or located. Celeste's body was discovered at six pm Friday by David's assistant, who came to move the car for street cleaning. She was in the back seat. Cause of death hasn't been released, but sources say there were no obvious signs of trauma. Toxicology is pending. David posted a statement yesterday. I am devastated by this tragedy. I didn't know Celeste personally and was not in California when this occurred. I'm cooperating fully with investigators, and my heart goes out to her family. Didn't know her personally. That's careful language, not I didn't know her, but I didn't know her personally, like she was known to his circle but not to him specifically. The tour cancelation is costing millions. Thirty seven dates across North America and Europe sold out venues. His label Interscope is in crisis mode. Their statement is pure PR speak. We support David during this difficult time and are cooperating with authorities to determine what happened. What happened is a seventeen year old girl went to a Hollywood party and ended up dead in a celebrities tesla. Whether David was involved or not. His car was the crime scene, his house was the party venue. His world was where Celeste died. The investigation has expanded. LAPD searched the Hollywood

4:53 Hills house yesterday, removed computers, security footage, and what neighbors describe as bags of evidence. They're interviewing everyone who was at Thursday's party. That's potentially two hundred witnesses who were probably drunk or high and definitely don't want to talk to cops. Here's what's interesting. David's Tesla app shows the car was accessed at two forty seven a m. Friday, unlocked via phone app not key. That means whoever puts Celeste in that car had digital access. That narrows it down to David, his assistant, his manager, and what sources say are several friends who had app access for convenience, several friends. Multiple people could unlock a tesla worth more than most people's annual salary to potentially dump a body.

5:41 That's not friendship, that's accessory to murder. Celeste's parents held a press conference yesterday. Her mother, Maria, barely able to speak. She was a straight A student, She wanted to be a doctor. She wasn't into parties or celebrities. Someone invited her, someone killed her. Someone knows what happened. Her father Roberto more direct. These celebrities think they're untouchable. They have these parties with underage girls, they give them drugs and alcohol. Then when something happens, they lawyer up and blame everyone else. David has lawyered up. Mark Urragos, who's represented everyone from Chris Brown to Jesse Smollett, is now representing David. That's not the lawyer you hire if you're just a witness.

6:28 That's the lawyer you hire when you might be a suspect. The Reddit detectives are having a field day. They found Celeste's Instagram showing her at previous parties in the Hollywood Hills area, found connections between her and people in David's circle. Found that this isn't the first time police have been called to that house. June twenty twenty four, noise complaint turned into drug arrest, three people charged with possession. David wasn't there, but it was his house. April twenty five, assault complaint from a neighbor who said party guests attacked him, no arrests. David wasn't there, but it was his house.

7:10 Starting to see a pattern. David is never there when bad things happen at his house. He's always conveniently somewhere else with an alibi while his property becomes crime scenes. His song, Romantic Homicide has been streaming even more since Friday. The lyrics include I killed the only girl I ever loved. It's about emotional pain, not actual murder, but the optics are terrible. TikTok is full of conspiracy theories. Twitter is convinced he's guilty. Instagram is defending him. Meanwhile, Celestreevas is dead at seventeen, never made it to senior year, never became a doctor, never got to leave that tesla alive.

7:51 Her last text said the people were famous, famous. Now one of those famous people is either a killer, friends with a killer, or or so negligent that killers use his car like a company vehicle. David Burke, D four VD, whatever you want to call him, might not have killed Celeste Revas, but she died in his world, in his car, at his party, and canceling a tour doesn't cancel that responsibility more in a moment. Now to California, where four adults were arrested for something so evil it makes horror movies look like documentaries. Ricky and Starsia Myers, along with Lennon and Takia Williams are charged with caging adopted children under beds, not metaphorically, literally caging children in boxes built under beds for years. Riverside County Sheriff's Department responded to a welfare check last Tuesday at a home in Paris, Yes, the same city where the Turpen children were tortured. Apparently Paris is competing for worst place to be a child in America. They found was beyond comprehension. Custom built cages underneath beds, locks on the outside, scratch marks on the inside, children who hadn't seen sunlight in months, children who thought living in a box was normal. Four children, ages six, seven, nine, and eleven, all adopted, all receiving adoption subsidies from the state,

9:24 all being tortured while the state sent checks. The six year old was found in a cage roughly three feet by three feet by two feet high. She couldn't stand up, couldn't stretch out, could barely turn around. She'd been in there for what investigators believe was twenty hours a day for the past year, twenty hours a day in a box under a bed at six years old. The seven year old had scars, on his wrists from being tied, raw wounds from trying to escape. He told investigators he was only let out to use the bathroom and eat one meal a day, sometimes not even that. The nine year old didn't speak when found not couldn't, didn't, had learned that making noise meant punishment, had been trained into silence like an abused animal. The eleven year old tried to protect the younger ones, told investigators it was all his fault that he was bad, so they punished everyone.

10:17 An eleven year old taking responsibility for his own torture to protect siblings. Ricky Myers, thirty four, was the primary abuser, according to the charges. His wife, Startia thirty one, was the enforcer. The Williams couple, both twenty nine, lived in the home and participated in what prosecutors call systematic torture. Their defense, they claimed the children had behavioral issues that required containment. Containment like these are wild animals instead of traumatized children, they chose to adopt. The house was nice from the outside, two story, pool, three car garage. Neighbors said they seemed like a normal family. Never heard scream, never saw anything suspicious Because the children had learned not to scream, had learned that nobody was coming to save them.

11:08 Inside was different. The cages were professionally built. This wasn't improvised. Someone designed and constructed custom torture devices disguised as furniture. The beds looked normal from above. Underneath were padlocked doors to hell. The children were homeschooled, of course. No teachers to notice, no friends to question, no mandatory reporters to report. Just four adults with complete control over four children's lives. They were collecting four two hundred dollars a month in adoption subsidies, getting paid by the state to torture children the state placed with them. The adoption agency Foster Family Network claims they did regular checks. Really, how do you regularly check and miss children living in cages? The children are now in protective custody. The six year old keeps asking when she has to go back in her box.

12:02 The seven year old won't sleep in a bed, only on the floor where he feels safe. The nine year old has started speaking, but only whispers. The eleven year old keeps apologizing for getting everyone in trouble. All four adults were arraigned Friday. Bail said at one point three million dollars each. Their lawyer claims this is overblown, that the enclosures were for the children's safety. Safety from what freedom, sunlight, human dignity. The prosecutor, Jennifer Martinez put it perfectly. These defendants turned childhood into imprisonment. They took society's most vulnerable foster children who'd already suffered trauma, and tortured them for money.

12:44 This isn't discipline, it's evil. The biological parents of these children are unknown. These kids were already in the system because somewhere, somehow their first families failed them. They got placed with new families who were supposed to save them. Instead, they got cages under beds and adults who saw them as paychecks. This case is ongoing. More charges are expected. The house is being treated as a crime scene. Investigators are looking into whether other children previously lived there, whether other cages existed, whether this is bigger than four children and four monsters Paris, California, where the Turpen children were chained to beds, where these four were caged under them.

13:26 What is happening in this city that makes adults think children are property to be stored instead of humans to be loved. We'll be right back with. Travis Decker found dead after murdering his three daughters and a couple who threw their carjacking victim off a bridge. Travis Decker is dead. The man who murdered his three daughters during a court ordered visitation, has been found in the woods of northern Michigan, dead from a parent's suicide. Let me remind you what this monster did. August thirtieth. He picked up his daughters, Quincy fifteen, Charlotte twelve, and Hayden nine for his weekend visitation.

14:19 Their mother, Tiffany, had fought against unsupervised visits. The court sided with the father's rights. He drove them to his cabin. Shot Quincy first, she was the oldest, might have fought back, then Charlotte as she tried to run, Then Hayden, who was hiding under a bed. Three girls, three gunshots, three futures ended by the man who was supposed to protect them. His body was found yesterday by hunters about two miles from the cabin, self inflicted gunshot wound. He'd been dead for at least two weeks, probably died within days of killing his daughters. Good I'm not supposed to say that, I'm supposed to be objective. But Travis Decker murdered three children because he was angry at his ex wife. He executed his own daughters to punish their mother. His death is the only justice those girls will get. The note found with his body, because of course there's a note, blamed Tiffany for turning the girls against him, said she forced him to do this, said, now she knows what loss feels like. She already knew what loss felt like, Travis.

15:23 She lost the man she married to anger and violence, lost her sense of safety, lost the battle to protect her daughters from you, and now she's lost them forever because you decided murder was better than therapy. The funeral for the three girls was last week. Three coffins, three sets of friends crying, three empty desks at three different schools. Tiffany spoke at the service, barely able to stand, saying they were my everything. He knew that, That's why he took them. Travis Decker died alone in the woods, like the animal he was. His daughters died in terror at the hands of their father. There's no justice in him being dead. Justice would be those girls being alive. The system failed them. The judge who ordered unsupervised visitation despite Tiffany's concerns, still on the bench. The guardian at LTAM who said Travis posed no threat, still evaluating families. The cops who ignored previous domestic violence calls, still protecting and serving Travis Decker is dead good. But Quincy would be starting sophomore year, Charlotte would be in seventh grade. Hayden would be learning multiplication. Instead, they're in the ground because their father's rights mattered more than their safety. Finally, because this Monday wasn't dark enough, A couple in Louisiana was sentenced for carjacking and throwing the victim off a bridge, not pushing, throwing like he was trashed to be disposed of.

16:55 Marcus Washington twenty eight and Destiny Phillips twenty five were sentenced to life without parole for the murder of James Chen forty three. Chen's crime driving a nice car while these two needed transportation. March fifteenth, twenty twenty five, Chen stops at a red light in Baton Rouge. Washington yanks him out of his Audi. Phillips jumps in the passenger seat. They could have just driven away. Chen was out of the car. Crime complete, but that wasn't enough. They made Chen get in the trunk, drove him to the Mississippi River bridge, made him get out, and, according to witnesses, physically threw him over the railing a two hundred foot drop into the river. His body was found three days later, ten miles downstream. The medical examiner said he was alive when he hit the water, died from impact, trauma and drowning.

17:46 He survived the fall just long enough to know he was dying, all for an audi. They crashed six hours later during a police chase. At sentencing, Phillips cried about her two young children who'd grow up without her. The judge reminded her that James Chen had three children who'd grow up without him. Because she and her boyfriend decided throwing him off a bridge was easier than just stealing his car. Washington showed no remorse, said Chen shouldn't have resisted. Chen didn't resist. Security footage shows him raising his hands, backing away, complying completely. His resistance was existing with something they wanted. The judge called it murder for sport. They didn't need to kill Chen. They wanted to the bridge was out of their way. They went there specifically to murder him in the most dramatic way possible. James Chen was an engineer designed bridges, ironically spent his career making sure structures were safe, died being thrown from one by people who valued his car more than his life. The Audi was totaled worthless, just like the lives of Marcus Washington and Destiny Phillips. That Celebrity Trials from Monday, September twenty second. A teenage girl dead in a Celebrities tesla, children caged under beds by the people who were supposed to save them, a father who murdered his daughters found dead like the coward he was. And a couple who threw a man off a bridge for a car they destroyed hours later. This is what happens when I leave

19:17 for a weekend. The monsters come out, the children suffer, the innocent die, and Monday morning we count the bodies. Tomorrow updates from the Florida trials. Verdict Watch continues in Wisconsin and whatever fresh hell emerges overnight. Because it's always something, always someone deciding murder is the solution, Always another tragedy to cover I'm reed. Carter Celeste Reevas is dead. At seventeen, four children learned that beds could be prisons. Three sisters are buried because their father chose revenge, and James Chen died falling from a bridge. He could have designed better than his killers could spell. Some mondays make you question humanity.

20:00 This is one of them. See you tomorrow,
