The scented products were found in the center console, back seat pockets, and trunk, an LAPD investigator testified on the second day of the singer’s preliminary hearing
At least 11 air fresheners were found inside D4vd‘s Tesla along with the decomposing remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, including one that was found under a pile of maggots in the vehicle’s front trunk.
Testifying on the second day of a preliminary hearing, Chelsea Murillo, a criminalist with the Los Angeles Police Department, said most of the air fresheners were recovered from the center console of the Tesla Model X, while others were tucked into rear-seat pockets. She also recalled a “strong odor” when she helped process the vehicle on Sept. 9, 2025, one day after Rivas’ dismembered remains were found inside two bags in a storage compartment beneath the front hood.
“The odor resembled a decomposing body, based on my professional experience,” she said. Prosecutors showed a photo of the recovered air fresheners, as well as one depicting the large mass of fly larvae covering the Febreze pod near where the body had been concealed.
