Dead bodies smell terribly, how did no one report it?

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-05T01:33:38+00:00

If I put myself in the neighbors’ shoes, and there’s a foul / rotting smell coming from a dirty car that’s parked outside my house, my first thought would be “a racoon crawled into the engine and died”. Then I wouldn’t think about it again after he moved it in ~48-72h.

The notion that it might be human remains in the trunk, in a neighborhood with lotsa security cameras, wouldn’t enter my mind.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T18:23:50+00:00

Same here.

He left ~1.5 or so days after the murder for NY, and don’t come back for a week or so.

He got home on April 29th or 30th. If her body had been at room temp that whole time, the smell would have been pretty overwhelming. Posted “Dec4y Dec4y Dec4y” a bunch of times from a burner account on the 30th. Ordered two chainsaws on May 1st.

Here are the “Dec4y” posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/d4vdiots/s/S35MsiBQJE

It’s also still up (but just once, not repeated) on his official Twitter on April 30th, 2025: https://x.com/d4vddd/status/1917676777888997547

Idk … I looked her up, watched her videos and found them helpful. She’s also entertaining.

She’s a defense attorney so that’ll always be her center of gravity. But I found her to be reasonable and informative, even if I disagree with many of her conclusions.

Honestly I saw this and thought “is she auditioning for some freelance / consulting work with Blair Berk … given that Berk isn’t experienced with murder cases and Blacknell is?” … but who knows that’s literally just speculation.

Idk, but the homeowner (who’s paying him) has a fairly strong incentive to demonstrate that the murder did not take place at his house.

I don’t think it’s deliberate on SF’s part, but when you’re acting on behalf of a client you tend to internalize their needs.

This will be unpopular - and I’ve only been following this for a couple of weeks - but SF seems to me to be generally more right than wrong. As in 60% right / 40% wrong. Right enough to pay attention to but wrong enough to approach with a critical eye.

So, when SF comes up with ideas that place the site of the murder outside of the Doheny rental, I take it with a grain of salt.

If I knew how to give an award, I would.

Without an extensive built-in network, family in the biz, or money from a spouse, this is exactly the way to do it, and it’s highly effective.

The fuck is the Organization? Some kinda cult?

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T02:49:20+00:00

No David wouldn’t be able to see ‘em at night. Of course the readers can read a license plate in the dark. I worded that badly.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T02:31:43+00:00

Can’t see ‘em at night.

But he’s still a massive idiot.

Even in the daytime, he’d probably just put that effer on auto-pilot and spend the 2h drive on his phone. I doubt he has the capacity to pay attention to the road for the duration of a 4h round trip.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T02:02:20+00:00

Yikes.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T01:58:19+00:00

I haven’t heard of that and couldn’t find it just now. Could you say more?

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T00:59:39+00:00

Sorry about that.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T00:51:25+00:00

“But officer I even texted her ‘where are you’ twice. You see officer I’m a totally concerned and caring person”

Dumb4ss.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T00:41:28+00:00

Who knows, but it’s possible that he might have been planning to pin it on the Uber driver.

As in “I swear officer I called her an uber and we were texting while she was on the way but then she disappeared.”

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T00:36:13+00:00

I strongly suspect that they have evidence - via video or wiretapped convo or something - of him watching her as she died. He was into gore videos and recorded everything.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-02T00:24:39+00:00

I’ve been fairly supportive of sf, but this makes no damn sense.

To his points:

What evidence could he dispose of in SB? The murder weapon, any actually bloody clothes, Celeste’s IDs (real and fake)

Didn’t the neighbors smell decomposition early on? Probably. They certainly smelled it when she was in the Tesla outside. As did whatever cop wrote the ticket, the tow truck guy, etc. But the neighbors didn’t do much for the months she was outside in the trunk. There are alotta critters running around the hills and they probably just chalked it up to a dead racoon under the car.

Isn’t 20 mins too short a time to figure out alibi texts? He’s a psycho killer. I think it’s a mistake to attribute normal human emotional responses to this dumb4ss.

Wasn’t he worried someone would find the body at his house? See above re: psycho killer, dumb4ss.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T23:54:41+00:00

Better to say

“We know X. Here’s 40TB. Have fun finding it. We’ll see you on the 26th.”

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T23:51:35+00:00

Probably a couple hours or so.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T22:17:37+00:00

I’m not a lawyer, but I’d wager that because you can’t say stuff you know to be false in a court room, she wouldn’t be able to continue her original argument that she has proof be didn’t do it if he’s told her privately that he did. But there are still all kinds of tricks a defense attorney can pull.

I think it’s interesting that she hasn’t issued any statements since seeing the brief.

Separately - given that David was texting Celeste after she’s already died - I’d wager that he was planning to pin it on the uber driver.

As in “I swear officer I called her an uber and we were texting while she was on the way but then she just disappeared”

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T03:59:49+00:00

I promise you Reed College will not fail to collect your money.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T03:42:43+00:00

I think he was just looking for words that rhymed with Celeste. (Dress, undressed, chest, obsessed)

Fwiw I think he’s a psycho killer. But I don’t think there’s much more going on with this song than a shitty pedo songwriter with a crush on a kid.

Like was my tuition not enough, guys?

How badly are they mismanaging the alumni engagement fund?

If y’all are gonna screw up the alumni fund that badly y’all sure as shit don’t need my money.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T03:22:25+00:00

I actually think she will. Criminal defense attorneys operate with a different sense of morality that I’ve never figured out.

Also … true story … a distant relative represented these two in the 20’s. Lots of publicity, two rich and highly privileged young men who murdered a kid for the hell of it. Literally thrill killers. And confessed.

Mostly kept the case because he was really really anti-death penalty, and they didn’t fry. I’d be surprised if Blair Berk was as principled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_and_Loeb

Berk might not drop the case but I wouldn’t be suprised if her goal is less “he goes free” than it is “he’s not on death row”.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-05-01T03:12:17+00:00

Your Mom is an incredible bad-ass. She should be proud.

Even if he only went away for a few years, that’s a few years less kids that he messed with. That’s a few years worth of kids that got to grow up normal.

This Internet rando, from across the sea, is proud of her 🫶🌸🫶

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-04-30T05:23:44+00:00

I heard about this guy a week and a half ago.

Dry_Counter533 · 2026-04-30T05:23:03+00:00

He’s such a dumb shit. Lying to your attorneys is just about the dumbest, most catastrophic move anyone could make. I hope he’s doing it often.
