Investigators came across her remains on September 8 when workers at a Hollywood tow yard detected a foul smell coming from the vehicle.
Rivas was found in the trunk of the car and her remains had been stuffed in a bag.
Los Angeles cops are still probing her death but have shed more light surrounding the timeline of events.
Scot M Williams, a Los Angeles Police Department Captain and Commanding Officer, suggested Rivas had been dead for several weeks before her remains were found, as reported by People.
“We know for sure that Celeste Rivas Hernandez died and someone placed her body in the front trunk area of David Burke’s Tesla,” he added.
Rivas cause and manner or death still remains unknown.
She was wearing a tube top and black leggings when her body was found.
A metal earring was in her ear and she was wearing a chain bracelet.
But, Rivas’ final moments still remain shrouded in mystery.
Rivas was last seen in the Lake Elsinore area and had previously been reported missing by her family three times.
Sources close to her family told The U.S. Sun the pair had dated since she was 13.
And, friends close to the singer claimed they saw millionaire D4vd and Rivas at parties.
They thought she was 19 as opposed to being underage, as reported by TMZ.
D4vd’s pals thought Rivas was over 18 because they saw her at adult-only events.
Meanwhile, D4vd’s Tesla ended up in the yard after it been abandoned near a plush property he had been renting.
The car was reported abandoned on August 26, according to a California Highway Patrol vehicle report.
