Discovery of Celeste Rivas’ Passport Card 100 Miles From Los Angeles Raises Eyebrows

According to reports from TMZ, law enforcement officials have confirmed recent developments in the ongoing inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Among the revelations is the recovery of one of her personal identification items, which occurred months after her disappearance. Officials from Caltrans reported that on January 7, 2026, a maintenance worker conducting traffic control on State Route 154 near Painted Cave Road stumbled upon Celeste’s passport card nestled in the brush of a remote and wooded area approximately 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

In addition, the worker promptly informed their supervisors about the discovery, prompting them to reach out to the California Highway Patrol. This agency subsequently arrived at the scene to collect the item for further examination. Detectives revisited the location on January 17 to conduct a follow-up investigation as part of their ongoing efforts to unravel the circumstances surrounding Celeste’s disappearance.

Alarming Spread of Evidence Across Multiple Counties in Celeste Rivas Case

Investigators assert that personal items associated with Celeste were disposed of in the Santa Barbara County area following her tragic death. Court documents reveal that on the evening of April 23, 2025, D4vd allegedly arranged a ride-share service to collect Celeste Hernandez from her residence in Lake Elsinore, transporting her to his home in the Hollywood Hills. Prosecutors contend that the two exchanged only two messages before Hernandez’s phone suddenly ceased communication, raising significant concerns regarding her safety and whereabouts.

Subsequently, on that same night around 11:30 p.m., investigators claim that D4vd drove his Tesla north along Highway 101. His route reportedly led towards San Marcos Pass Road (SR-154) near Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County. However, according to the court filing, he allegedly returned to the same remote area on two separate occasions, on May 8 and again on May 31, which has raised further suspicions about his involvement in the case.
