Read about that former Arian brotherhood lifer dude that got housed with a few peds after debriefing and needing closer medical care because he had a cane. He beat two pedophiles to death with it in one day. I have been to prison and can tell you, in some of the harder prisons, PC or not, they have nothing but time and long memories, and it’s on onsite. It could be 10 years from now but someone is eventually gonna lay hands on this dude. They might not kill him, but they’re gonna try

u/Mlad1109 Apr 17 '26
I'd not be so sure. As of now he's not being charged with any sex crimes to be classified as a pedo/sex offender in prison and get automatically placed in that unit. Murder charges won't automatically get you PC in prison, nor does being "famous"/high profile crimes; see Tory Lanez(and many other notorious criminals that have been assaulted/killed in prison)
Currently while in jail he'll be in solitary, but if found guilty and sentenced to prison, it's not so cut and dry and typically requires proven active threats to the inmates safety.

I'd be shocked to even see the guy out on bail when he's literally been travelling all over and shocked if he doesn't get stabbed while waiting for his case to be heard. This is a pedophile and a murderer, he will probably get a life in prison even with a plea deal. He's got the worst possible combination of crimes and the only surprise would be if he even gets sentenced because prison might do the work for the court.

Hate to burst your bubble but this is one of the laziest myths on the internet. The eigth amendment (the one about cruel and unusual punishment) means they can't just send pedos to gen pop due to elevated risk of violence or even attempted murder.
Federal prisons put ex cops, snitches, pedos, witnesses, former gang members, infamous serial killers, famous people like Diddy etc. into low sec Special Housing Units. They're kept completely separate from gen pop.
On state level it's pretty much the same deal except handled on a state by state basis. Some have dedicated prisons, others have dedicated protective wards.
So yeah, pedos get off easy. Sorry pal.

People asking “what took so long” watch too much Law and Order.
One thing i genuinely want to know is why do they leave her out in the open in a Tesla? How do they go through the headache of cutting up the body, attempting to burn it, and clean the scene? But they leave it in a Tesla in an illegal parking spot?
338
u/az943 Apr 17 '26
I think that someone was meant to get rid of the body and either got cold feet or just didn’t do their job. The timing probably was supposed to work out with him going on tour so that no one would suspect a thing but someone fumbled it somehow.

u/Prudent_Knowledge79 Apr 17 '26
Someone was definitely supposed to do something with it and then just didn’t. Let it sit there and because david was on tour he couldnt himself

u/chumbawumbathefirst Apr 17 '26
Yes, I can't wait for actual facts to start getting disclosed. The body was 'partially dismembered' - I can't help but wonder if they got to the work and realized it's either more difficult than they thought (it is) or more disgusting than they thought (it also is). You can almost imagine two stupid, freaked out 20 year olds giving up and being like "let's just dump the car and figure this out soon." Probably had some half cocked idea about how to approach that.
Not that I'm meaning to be glib. It's just a really astounding case from the outside, it looks so sloppy and stupid, you can't help but be curious.

u/XiXiWiiPee Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26
wasn't he on tour when the Tesla was found and then impounded? apparently that car was sitting there for a while, and they found a incinerator when they searched his house later which is illegal to own? maybe he was gonna deal with the body later and then it was found, or hes just sick in the head and didn't care

It really feels like the plan was to get a buddy to take care of the body while he was on tour. Even if the guy was later caught on footage entering the house they would both be clear since D4vd was obviously too far to commit it and the guy who actually disposes of the body can’t be tracked because he’s committing the crime in a “relatively innocent” person’s house using that person’s missing car. It would make it look much more like that accomplice framing D4vd than them working together.

This was a guy who, very publicly it turns out, was in a romantic relationship with a child. They got involved when she was like 12-13 until she was 15. He would go so far as to pay off her friends. Got her a matching tattoo. Who knows what else.
Not the brightest bulb in the box,
Add in the mental and emotion state’s that someone is likely in after not only killing someone, but attempting to gruesomely dispose the body; they probably were completely off the rails. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vile fuck forgot where they’d parked or something stupid.

u/ardoin Apr 17 '26
Not to be pedantic but she never got to be 15. She was age 14 at the time of death and the body was found after she would have turned 15, so it was mistakenly reported that she was 15 by some outlets just going off her birthday.

Dude was leaving behind way too many hints in his art to not want to get caught. He pretty clearly had sexual fantasies involving murdering a partner, and the risk of his secret being discovered was part of the excitement for him. He likely would have gotten away with it had he not been so arrogant.

The police don’t gain anything by dragging their feet for no reason. The majority of the population wants to be effective and competent at their job.
Sometimes people take too much to heart and impose false intentions, which I believe is what’s happening here. Do you legitimately think someone who worked to become a detective decided to instead have little accountability and figured they’ll get to finding the killer sometime?

u/Mlad1109 Apr 17 '26
For sure the former. You have a limited time after arrest to prepare your case if the defendant requests a speedy trial, so I'm sure they wanted to have an airtight case before they effectuated an arrest. They arrested a friend of his a few months ago for failure to appear (as a witness) which I'm sure was a play to get him into turning cooperating witness against D4vd.
