Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan.

When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas was found dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd, the public wanted answers. Fast. But weeks later, there’s still no cause of death. No suspect. No charges.
And in that silence, the noise has taken over.
In this longform breakdown, we dig into how the lack of official updates has created a vacuum—one where every lyric, property transfer, tattoo, and prank 911 call gets inflated to “evidence.” From the swatting call to the online rumor mill, we’re not just talking about the case—we’re talking about how the public is twisting it.
Is the swatting call connected? Why hasn’t anyone been arrested? And why do people think a matching tattoo is enough to prove a relationship?
This episode isn’t about wild theories. It’s about how those theories form—when law enforcement goes quiet, when the internet gets restless, and when tragedy becomes content.
We unpack what actually matters in the investigation: forensic timelines, digital records, verified access, and most importantly—cause and manner of death. Because until that autopsy report drops, everything else is just noise.
