Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Charged In D4VD Tesla Death Case? FBI Agent Breaks Down the Gaps

Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Charged In D4VD Tesla Death Case? FBI Agent Breaks Down the Gaps

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla that had been marked, cited, and towed — and no one noticed for weeks. One year earlier, she was reported missing. Five months later, she was caught on video near her family’s home. And now, a month after her body was discovered, there’s still no arrest. No charges. No confirmed suspect.

This case isn’t closed — but it’s not moving either.

In this Hidden Killers segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to walk us through the critical investigative red flags law enforcement should be acting on right now. She’s not speculating. She’s speaking as someone who’s handled these cases firsthand — when the pressure is high, the evidence is fading, and the public is losing trust.

She covers:

• 
  The tow yard failures — and what investigators may have missed in that 72-hour window
  
  
  
• How digital evidence from the Tesla or cell phones should be prioritized (and why delays can destroy a case)
  
  
  
• What the FBI would look for in the family’s timeline gaps if Celeste was known to be back home
  
  
  
• Whether law enforcement is being too cautious — or just doesn’t have the evidence
  
  
  
• Why the lack of a crime scene makes this exponentially harder — and what you chase when you have no location, no cause of death, and no murder weapon
  
  This is a behind-the-scenes look at how the federal system would handle this investigation, what law enforcement should be doing today — and why they may already be running out of time.
