Today marks six months since Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dismembered in the front trunk of a Tesla owned by David Burke, also known as #D4vd. She had been viciously hacked apart and placed into two bags. Celeste was only 14 years old when she was killed.
To this day, no one has been charged or arrested.
In other cases involving murdered children, such as Melodee Buzzard, or the recent case of two young girls found dead in suitcases, law enforcement and prosecutors held public news conferences. In the case of #CelesteRivasHernandez, there has never been one.
Instead, there has been what appears to be an ongoing effort to keep people quiet and to seal records from public view. Meanwhile, the individuals responsible for killing her and cutting off her limbs are still living among us as free citizens.
How many times can a young girl who only lived to be 14 be failed?
Maybe this case needs new investigators and prosecutors?
NEW: Movers for a Phoenix moving company spot an Amber Alert suspect at a QuikTrip, jump into action and block her car until police arrive.
The movers and a security guard are being credited for saving 2-year-old Kehlani Rogers from her kidnapper.
23-year-old Marina Noriega was arrested for the abduction.
According to the child's parents, Noriega was a transient who was staying at their house because she had nowhere to go.
She then disappeared with their daughter.
When Noriega was arrested, she told law enforcement that the girl was her long-lost daughter. She later admitted that she took the girl without giving a reason.
Foremen Ralph Vollmert and Kevin Place, who stopped at the QuikTrip, say they heard a security guard on the phone with police, saying he believed the girl was abducted.
"Our trucks are 28, 30 feet long, so we knew it was a good idea to put the truck there just because there's just nowhere you could go after that," they said
"It just breaks our heart because we have kids ourselves…nobody ever wants a kid to be harmed or to be hurt or to be mistreated."
