It’s looking more and more like it’s going to be him. It’s his car, it wasn’t reported stolen. He wrote a song about a girl named Celeste, which was her name. There’s a picture of him near her house around the time she went missing. They have matching tattoos. Though, now that I see them all listed like that, I suppose those things really only prove that they know each other and are likely close friends and/or dating. I mean, unless they don’t know each other, in which case it would seem like he’s a stalker, but I’m guessing that’s not the case. ---

But her mother said she was dating sometime named David, and this guy’s name ls Dee four veedee, so I guess it can’t be him. ---

I think the fact that they had a relationship contextualizes the part where her body is in his car. Like, it explains a lot better how that might have happened. ---

To be clear, I’m not saying that he wasn’t involved in whatever happened to her, just that IMO, those things really only prove that they knew each other. IMO they don’t, in and of themselves, prove he was involved in her death. Or, said a different way, if and when he ends up in court, those specific things, on their own, won’t prove he murdered her, but they will prevent him from suggesting he didn’t know her. ---

And while his lawyers don’t actually have to show how someone else put her body in his car, it’s not a good start. ---

I haven’t seen anything about it in a day or two, but whatever I saw last gave me the impression he’s likely to be the perpetrator. ETA: It looks like what I was seeing was reports of his house being searched for blood (and/or other evidence). But since the police didn’t release the results to the public, that doesn’t prove anything other than that he’s a suspect. ---

It’s possible that they were dating but that someone else killed her and put her body in his trunk to try to frame him… but in murders in general, by far the most common perpetrator is a romantic partner, and “but I was framed” is a pretty weak defense. I’d still want to see some more evidence before I, as a hypothetical juror, would be willing to vote “guilty”, but it’s certainly looking that way.
