Logline: A 14-year-old girl and the rising music star D4vd are involved in a mysterious disappearance turned gruesome murder. New details have emerged from text messages, photos and DNA that authorities say destroyed two lives.

Extended Logline:
David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, got his start as a gamer and was on the verge of stardom. He first made contact online with Celeste Rivas Hernandez when she was just 11 years old — a relationship that authorities say turned sexual by the time she was just 13. By 2025, D4vd was ready to release his first big studio album, and his exposure was increasing. According to investigators, D4vd and Celeste had a rollercoaster relationship with periods of happiness and turmoil, and her allegedly threatening to out him for having sex with a minor, all leading up to April 23, 2025 — the last day Celeste was seen alive. “IMPACT x Nightline” takes viewers through the timeline of their relationship, Celeste’s disappearance and death, the arrest, and the new details emerging from text messages, photos and DNA that authorities say destroyed two lives.
