continues without a peep from the singer. Our investigative team

I'm Drew Nelson, a neighbor of Burke's in the Hollywood Hills,
calls nine point one at four thirty eight AM on Sunday,
July twentieth with a public nuisance complaint regarding the loud
music being played at the mansion. Belize arrived four hours
after the call at eight fifty seven AM and there
was no music playing, and the officer's report indicates the
situation resolved itself. During the time Burke lived in the house,
(01:52):
this was the only time neighbors complained about noise. Lauden Travunevik,
the owner of the home Burke was renting for twenty
time thousand dollars a month, has hired a private investigator,
Steve Fisher, to try and find out what was happening
in the home he owns. Fisher was hired shortly after
a forced search entry search warrant was served at the home.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
The LAPD says Celeste had been deceased for weeks before
being discovered in Burke's tesla. Private investigator Steve Fisher says
he has seen surveillance video from neighbor homes and knows
exactly when the Tesla was last moved and who moved
it to the location from where it was towed in
very late July.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
The Tesla owned by Burke had been his daily driver
for a long time, regularly getting the car cleaned inside
and out. However, when the Tesla was towed, it was
dirty with body damage. Pi Fisher says it looked like
the car had been off road in the desert, without
wheel wells, beat up and a huge dent in the back.
While his former daily drive sits dirty by the curb
for weeks, Burke keeps a clean red Tesla in the garage.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Surveillance cameras in the Hollywood Hills built a complete timeline
showing when Burke's Tesla was parked on Bluebird Avenue, parked it,
and whether anything was placed in the vehicle after it
was parked. There's also no evidence indicating Celest's body was
transferred into the Tesla after it was parked on the street.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The LAPD has not released much information about the investigation,
but Fisher has a theory about what may have happened
to Celeste. Fisher thinks her death could be the result
of an overdose, with the body hidden to prevent the
public from finding out Burke had been sexually abusing Celeste.
A fourteen year old cannot consent to having sex with
an adult. Fisher points out that concealing a body is
(03:31):
a misdemeanor in California.
