L.A. County D.A. Says D4vd-Celeste Rivas Case is Under Investigation

Top Prosecutor Says He Doesn’t Have The Case

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman isn’t answering questions about the D4vd case and the Celeste Rivas death investigation, this after nearly 2 months without an arrest.
Our photog asked Nathan for an update on it all Wednesday at a press conference about an unrelated case … and all Hochman could muster up was that it’s an active investigation — even though everyone from coast to coast is fascinated with the D4vd/Celeste probe.
The county’s top prosecutor also wouldn’t get into possible suspects — and he ignored the elephant in the room — D4vd — when our photog brought up the singer by name.
It’s been nearly 6 weeks since Celeste’s body was found in D4vd’s impounded Tesla, and there haven’t been a whole lot of answers or updates from law enforcement … LAPD is clammed up, so much so, the owner of the home where D4vd was living hired a private investigator to find out if Celeste died in the home.

LAPD raided the Hollywood Hills rental pad last week and they searched the place for blood evidence … but there’s been no criminal charges filed, and cops haven’t even said if they have a suspect.
Celeste’s cause of death is unclear, too … though cops believe Celeste had been dead for weeks before her remains were found.
She’d been reported missing by her family in early 2024 from her Lake Elsinore, California home and was likely 14 when she died … but friends in D4vd’s circle say they thought she was 19 years old.
LAPD Captain Scot Williams told us at the end of September, cops were working with the L.A. County Medical Examiner to establish Celeste’s cause of death, as well as processing evidence.
Since Celeste’s body was discovered, D4vd’s been radio silent … pulling the plug on his tour, shelving the rollout of the deluxe version of his “Withered” album, and moving out of the Hollywood Hills rental home and receding from the public eye.
Cops aren’t talking … and neither is the D.A. 🤷🏽♂️
With the massive information dump of the Epstein Files from the DOJ Friday, we’re getting a close look at the various high-powered figures who surrounded the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein … including former presidents.
Bill Clinton is seen in a few new pics … he’s reclining in a hot tub with another person, whose face is obscured by a black box. Another pic shows the former president sitting in what appears to be the cabin of an airplane, with a young-looking female sitting on his lap with her arm around his shoulder.
As you know, the U.S. Dept. of Justice began releasing the long-awaited Epstein Files on Friday, the final day of a 30-day period the agency was compelled by Congress to produce all materials related to the investigation of Epstein — with victims’ identities and details redacted.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 on state charges in Florida of soliciting the prostitution of a minor in a plea deal and served a year in prison. In 2019, he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. While awaiting trial in New York City, he killed himself in his cell.
Donald Trump, Clinton and Bill Gates are among many high-profile politicians, entertainers, business titans, academics and other powerful international figures known to have been close associates of Epstein. Trump downplayed the importance of releasing the files this year — despite making campaign promises to open up the investigation — even saying he didn’t want support from anyone who was demanding more about the case.
Never-before-seen photos show late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his element … snuggling up to a very young-looking female on a sofa.
The images are from the Epstein Files being released by the U.S. Department of Justice … and there are several photos showing Epstein cozying up to an unidentified female on a couch … it’s unclear if she’s underage.
Epstein has his arms around her, and they are horizontal, side by side on a couch … wearing clothes. Her face has been redacted to protect her identity, indicating the government considers her a victim.
There are 10 photos of the convicted pedo and this young female … and Epstein looks like he’s enjoying himself.

TMZ is digging through the thousands of documents released Friday … and these are some of the most disgusting images we’ve seen so far … but it may just be the tip of the iceberg.
We’ve seen lots of other creepy Epstein photos leading up to Friday’s document dump, but this may be the creepiest yet.
