Details on Celeste Rivas Hernandez
- Missing Report: Rivas was reported missing in April 2024.
- Discovery: Her body was found on September 8, 2024.
- Location: Discovered in the trunk of a Tesla.
- Condition: There was speculation regarding her condition at the time of discovery, but the LAPD clarified she was not frozen.
Controversy and Media Reports
The LAPD addressed various media reports regarding Rivas’ death. They aimed to correct misinformation circulating online, particularly stories asserting details about her body condition and the circumstances surrounding her death.
The department emphasized that reports claiming Rivas was partially frozen are inaccurate. Additionally, they dismissed rumors that she had been decapitated.
Sealing of Medical Records
On November 25, the LAPD successfully sought a court order to prevent the Los Angeles County coroner’s office from releasing records related to Rivas’ death. The intention was to ensure detectives in the Robbery-Homicide Division received crucial information prior to public dissemination.
The LAPD insists that the order was not meant to compromise transparency but to allow for a thorough investigation into the tragic case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
