Relationship Questions and a Growing Credibility Gap
Detectives have spent months investigating not only the circumstances of Celeste’s death, but also her relationship with the adult singer. Authorities have not filed criminal charges, nor publicly explained why no arrest has been made, even as evidence has been presented to a grand jury and multiple witnesses — including one of the singer’s managers — have been called to testify.
This silence has fueled growing public frustration.
Celeste was 14 years old when she died. Her body was discovered the day after what would have been her 15th birthday. Before records were sealed, the medical examiner’s office disclosed that she weighed just 71 pounds and had the word “Shhh” tattooed on her finger. LAPD officials have confirmed she had been dead for several weeks by the time she was found.
According to investigators, the Tesla had been parked along Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills since late July — roughly the same period the singer embarked on a national tour. The vehicle remained unattended for weeks, possibly months, until a tow-yard employee reported a foul odor emanating from the trunk.
Although portions of the tour were canceled after the investigation became public, the singer has continued to appear at venues and perform, a fact that has amplified public concern over what many view as a slow-walking investigation involving an adult public figure and a deceased minor.
To date, law enforcement has not publicly addressed allegations circulating online regarding the nature of the relationship, nor clarified what evidence — if any — is preventing an arrest while the grand jury process continues.
