The residence's owner, Mladen Trifunovic, hired private investigator Steve Fischer after the search to look into whether the teen girl had ever stayed at the home.
Now, Fischer said that a 'burn cage' with enough power to turn a dead person's body to ashes had been found at the ritzy Los Angeles spot once occupied by Burke.
'Given that Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were ultimately found in the Tesla [trunk], the presence of an incinerator at the same residence associated with that vehicle necessarily raises questions about intent,' he said Tuesday on X.
Private investigator Steve Fischer said a 'burn cage' that could reach up to 1600°F had been found at the Hollywood Hills rental where the singer D4vd stayed
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was deemed a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 15, last month, according to TMZ
Fischer said the burn cage was delivered to Burke's rented home under a false name. The deliveries had been accepted at the Hollywood Hills residence.
The private investigator called the items found in D4vd's home things that 'you would expect to find on a farm rather than in a home in the Hollywood Hills.'
Fischer said: 'One of those items was a Burn Cage incinerator, advertised to burn at 1,600 degrees. Human cremations are typically performed at approximately 1,400 degrees.'
'An incinerator is not legal to use within city limits and serves no legitimate purpose at a residential property in the Hollywood Hills,' he added.
Fischer pushed back against arguments claiming that the incinerator could have been a prop for a music video.
He asked, 'Why would a 55-pound burn cage be delivered to a private residence instead of directly to a prop designer or production house? Why would it be ordered before departing on an extended world tour? And why was it never used in any video production?'
Though the burn cage pictured by Fischer was never used, he said its mere presence raised questions about D4vd's behavior and intent.
Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 15, was found decomposing in the trunk of his impounded Tesla on September 8, one day after her 15th birthday
'We think it's important context,' Fischer said. 'Even if not criminal.'
The incinerator attached to Fischer's X posts appeared to be from DR Power Equipment. Its box read: 'Professional power done right.'
Burke's Tesla had been abandoned for days near Doheny Place and Bluebird Avenue, just blocks from the four-bedroom rental home.
The singer's manager, Josh Marshall, signed the lease in February 2024 - the same month that Celeste was first reported missing from her family's home in Lake Elsinore.
