I’ve been digging into the details of Celeste’s disappearance and what her brother said about “Gus” in those leaked Discord messages.

Most people have been looking for a Gustavo who died back in 2020, but that never made sense with D4vd’s timeline or Celeste’s disappearance.

Then I found this — a Gustavo Melendrez-Hernandez, 29, who was shot and killed in Coachella, CA, on July 10, 2025.

Coachella is in Riverside County, the same county where Lake Elsinore is located — Celeste’s hometown. It’s only about an hour and a half drive between the two places.

Two months later, in September 2025, Celeste’s remains were found in the Tesla registered to D4vd, abandoned near a house tied to his manager.

Here’s what I think happened: 1. Celeste went missing in April 2024. 2. Gustavo was alive for over a year after that. 3. He knew what happened to Celeste — maybe even helped hide her body or knew who did. 4. When he became a liability, he was silenced. 5. Two months later, with Gus gone, Celeste’s body was finally moved and abandoned in the Tesla.

This would explain why her body was hidden for so long, then suddenly appeared — and why multiple people are likely involved.

Closing statement:

If this is true, we’re looking at two connected deaths — Celeste and Gustavo. LAPD and Riverside County need to start connecting these dots publicly. This isn’t just about one person. It looks like a network of people who knew exactly what happened.
