Status: Untraced - E2: Walked Into Heaven

Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why.In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the disturbing case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was found stuffed in the trunk of singer David "D4vd" Burke's Tesla more than four months after she visited his Hollywood Hills home. The story exploded across the internet, and Burke's own fanbase had reason to believe his claims of innocence weren't the full picture. Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi cover the arrest and trial of David Burke.Follow and listen to more episodes of RedHanded here: https://link.mgln.ai/yrG62E

When New York State Troopers embarked on a high speed chase on Monday June 28, 1993, they did not foresee the scene they would soon stumble upon.
