The grand jury sat on this case for five months and never returned an indictment. LAPD arrested D4VD anyway. That decision — and what it signals about where this investigation stands — is the most important detail in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case right now.David Anthony Burke was taken into custody on April 16 at a Hollywood Hills residence by LAPD Robbery-Homicide on a probable cause warrant for alleged murder.

In the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the evidence collected in the first hours — the DNA from inside the home, the doorbell camera footage, the physical items left behind — is either going to solve this case or it isn't. The determining factor will be whether the people who handled that evidence from the very first moment were equipped for the responsibility. The Adam Walsh case is what happens when they aren't.

In Bardstown, Kentucky, that question played out in its most extreme form. The wrong person in the room wasn't just unqualified. He was actively working against the investigation.
