Being a busy mother of two, spare moments are likely a rarity for Amal Clooney. Balancing her personal life with her high-profile career demands a strategic approach to both diet and fitness.

At 48, the international human rights attorney has streamlined her health regimen to be both practical and effective, making it easier to maintain amid a packed schedule.

Reportedly, Amal kicks off her mornings with a nourishing bowl of Miyeokguk. This traditional Korean soup, comprising edible brown seaweed, sesame oil, and garlic, provides a nutritious start to the day.

When lunchtime rolls around, Amal, who boasts Lebanese and British roots, opts for meals rich in lean proteins. She and her husband, George Clooney, employ a private chef to prepare their daily dining experiences.

A glimpse into their midday feasts was once shared by Vogue’s Nathan Heller, who wrote about being ushered into their kitchen, where an enticing spread awaited, prepared by their culinary expert.

‘There is a salad, spaghetti with turkey meatballs, and chicken breast with lemon sauce. We help ourselves and take a seat at a small table nearby.’

She allows herself the odd treat at dinner, apparently enjoying pizza night once a week with her family, with her favourite being a margherita with a side of rocket salad. 

Amal’s husband George Clooney previously gave an insight into meal times in an interview alongside their private chef, Viviana Frizzi, who hails from Lake Como and has worked for the family since 2013.

‘She can make anything, including handmade gnocchi with pesto that would make you cry,’ George said.

‘Vivi cooks almost every night for us now because we have the twins. Going out isn’t as easy or as interesting as it used to be. 

‘Besides all of our friends would rather eat her food than hit up a local restaurant in Como or in London.

‘Honestly, Amal and I are such poor chefs that any lesson from Vivi in the kitchen would be like teaching a whale to fly.’

When it comes to exercising Amal likes to keep fit by playing tennis, and gives George a good run for his money. 

George previously revealed: ‘Amal is a really good athlete. When I was younger, I won some tennis tournaments. 

‘I played a lot of sports – I still play a lot of sports, and I can actually play [well]. And Amal just beats the hell out of me.’

Amal is also rumoured to go on walks for an hour every day, lift weights for 20 minutes and do Pilates. 

While Amal has managed to find balance in all aspects of life, she recently confessed that fame had left her feeling self-conscious about her career.

Speaking at a Cartier Dialogues event in Bangkok, Amal reflected on how her life changed after tying the knot with George, 65, in 2014.

Before meeting the actor, Amal had built a successful international legal career away from the spotlight, a separation she says became far harder to maintain once she became one half of one of the world’s most famous couples.

‘It was a weird phenomenon. I used to have my work life and my personal life, and they could look quite different, and I was able to not have them mix… and then I got married and that changed quite a lot,’ she said.

As the spotlight on the couple intensified – particularly after they welcomed twins Alexander and Ella, now nine, in 2017 – Amal said she initially felt overly conscious of how she was perceived in her professional life.

She admitted she worried about a ‘one-dimensional’ view of her public image.

‘And at first I was kind of conscious of that one-dimensional view where I felt like, well, I can’t be seen wearing this dress or doing this because I’m in front of a judge on Monday and I don’t want the judge to… but you know it just doesn’t matter as much as living your life,’ she added.

‘Ultimately if you’re good at what you do, that is going to shine through or not.’

Despite the pressures of public attention, Amal said she refused to let it dictate her choices or hold her back.

‘I wouldn’t allow that factor to stop me from doing things that were important for my family or for my relationship.

‘It was easier when I could decide what kind of exposure I got. It was something new to navigate.’

MISSISSIPPI – A wave of threats targeting individuals connected to the final moments of Nolan Wells’ life has prompted the FBI to launch a full-scale investigation, according to a leading state law enforcement official. The Mississippi teen’s disappearance and untimely death have drawn widespread attention and concern.

Eighteen-year-old Wells mysteriously vanished on July 4th during a boating excursion with friends to Horn Island, situated off the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Authorities dedicated two intense days to search operations before a ranger from the National Park Service discovered Wells’ body on the remote island’s northwestern edge on July 6th.

Sean Tindell, Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, announced on Wednesday that the FBI is focusing on threats made against government officials, individuals who were with Wells shortly before his disappearance, and their families. Tindell discussed the developments while speaking with Magnolia Tribune’s Founder and CEO Russ Latino during an episode of “The Sit Down” on Mississippi Public Broadcasting.

“State law enforcement and the FBI will undoubtedly scrutinize these threats,” emphasized Tindell. “Threatening public officials, potential witnesses, and those involved in this investigation, including the family, constitutes a criminal offense, and authorities intend to address it with utmost seriousness.”

Tindell said “false information” shared about Wells’ death has incited “rage and emotion” that has led to a higher level of calls coming into his office, some of which are “direct threats.” Tindell said he believes Wells’ mother, Christine Wonsley, has also received threats.

“I can tell you, the FBI has reached out. They’re working in any capacity. They’ve offered a hand, in this case, to do anything that that’s needed from their end. But they’re also taking a serious look, at some of these threats that have come across, to public officials, to witnesses to the family, to anybody involved in this case,” Tindell said.

The warning from one of Mississippi’s top public safety officials comes as national attention on the case has reached a fever pitch, with Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., accusing officials in Mississippi of not being transparent.

“Not only are [Nolan Wells’ family] suffering the unimaginable grief of losing a child, they’re not getting the truth, transparency, or accountability. Mississippi officials retained some of Nolan’s body parts, so yesterday’s independent autopsy leaves more questions unanswered,” Carson said.

As the speculation has grown, Mississippi’s top elected officials have begun pushing back publicly.

Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves told News Media in a statement that attorney Ben Crump and Al Sharpton are responsible for inciting the threats.

“Ben Crump and Al Sharpton are to blame for the threats. They are stoking division for personal gain. It’s sad to see, but not unexpected. This is how they’ve built their careers,” Reeves said. “Jackson County law enforcement, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, and the State Medical Examiner are conducting a thorough investigation. I’m confident they will follow the facts of the case, wherever that leads them. The state’s top prosecutor is also drawing a hard line.”

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch told News Media in a statement that her office will hold accountable anyone who threatens law enforcement working the case.

“I am proud of the professionalism with which our law enforcement, district attorney, and other local leaders are approaching this tragic case. During an open investigation, it is vital to the cause of justice that everyone respect the integrity of the process. Efforts to intimidate, disrupt, or interfere with the work of our law enforcement and prosecutors and threats to their well-being will be taken seriously and we will hold those who make them accountable. A bright young life has been lost and we extend our prayers to his family,” Fitch said.

During Wednesday’s news conference, Crump revealed that an area of “red discoloration” was found on Wells’ head, but said Dr. Roger Mitchell, who performed the autopsy, couldn’t come to a conclusion on a cause or manner of death “pending further investigation.” An official autopsy into Wells’ death hasn’t been completed, but the revelation from Crump fueled even more speculation.

Wells’ friends returned to the mainland that July afternoon without him, but Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter previously said investigators believe Wells chose to stay on the island. It wasn’t until later that night that his mother learned he was missing from one of Wells’ friends and reported it to authorities.

News Media has reached out to Crump, Sharpton and the FBI for comment.

A storm is brewing in a Long Island community as residents rally against the establishment of a new Muslim boarding school. The school, intended to accommodate 120 teenage boys, has sparked concerns that it could disrupt the tranquil ambiance of the suburban area.

Bay Shore homeowners are challenging the legitimacy of the plans, arguing that the proposed facility violates the zoning regulations for Saxon Avenue. The 13-acre site previously served as a Catholic seminary but now faces transformation into an overnight dormitory.

Kevin Colgan, a resident of Islip and leading voice of the “Saxon Says No” group, has vocalized the neighborhood’s concerns. “The proposed use by the new property owner far exceeds what is suitable for a quiet residential neighborhood,” Colgan stated, emphasizing the community’s fear of an inappropriate intensification of land use.

Colgan clarified that the battle is not against any person or faith, but a stand for the preservation of zoning integrity. “Zoning laws are crucial to maintaining the character, integrity, and quality of life in our neighborhoods, ensuring that land uses fit harmoniously with their surroundings,” he asserted.

The opposition is urging Islip’s Zoning Board of Appeals to reject the development plans for the property, which changed hands in June. Residents hope the board will heed their plea and keep the neighborhood’s peace intact.

The United American Muslim Association, a group partly based out of the Suleymaniye mosque in Dix Hills, scooped up the sprawling property from the Roman Catholic Montfort Missionaries for $5 million. 

At Tuesday’s zoning board meeting, several members of the board signaled that they think the proposed dorm is legal under town law. The meeting lasted more than five hours as hundreds of angry residents packed Town Hall.

“When my family chose to purchase this home 10 years ago — we relied on the zoning protections when making one of the largest investments of our lives — a community of single-family homes where the zoning was intended to preserve its residential character,” said Anna Chan, who lives across the street from the proposed school.

Locals speaking at the meeting said they felt the school’s opening would hurt the integrity of the neighborhood, and that their residential area is no place for a school of this scale. 

Most complaints centered around their belief that a boarding school, regardless of any religious affiliation, shouldn’t be opened in a residential neighborhood as it would cause an increase in noise and create traffic jams, as other residents had unanswered questions regarding a daycare center for small children that would be opening with the proposed school. 

“A boarding school with the noise that 120 teenage boys can generate in a recreational area — would you want that in your backyard?” asked Isla Belkitis, who lives near the site. 

Supporters of the school, along with attorney Samuel L. Bifulco, who represents The United American Muslim Association, said the proposal under town code is perfectly legal, and that strict rules on the students would keep them from causing a nuisance.

The nonprofit’s goal, he said, is to open a school on the shuttered property to provide a “comprehensive spiritual and academic training of its students,” including full-time Islamic-centered schooling, early childhood education and community programs.

In the wake of a tragic incident, a heartbroken mother has issued a stark declaration: “the truth will come out.” This follows the discovery of her 18-year-old daughter’s body in a high-profile setting—a residence tied to a prominent political figure’s family.

On a somber Saturday afternoon, the lifeless body of Yoseliani Marte was uncovered by authorities within the confines of a million-dollar estate nestled in Boston. The property, valued at $1.15 million, is owned by Conan Harris, the spouse of Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, though neither is reported to reside there.

The tragic demise of Marte, concluded by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, was caused by a single gunshot wound. However, as reported by Boston25News, the circumstances surrounding her death remain under rigorous investigation.

Elenie Ocasio, Marte’s devastated mother, stands firm in her conviction that her daughter was not suicidal, asserting instead that she fell victim to murder.

“My daughter did not deserve this, and it’s all going to come out to light,” Ocasio passionately expressed to the press. “Everything’s gonna come out.”

As of Thursday, Boston authorities had not announced any arrests or charges in connection to Marte’s death.

Marte was living at home in Dorchester, the largest neighborhood in Boston, but visiting a boyfriend on the day she died, her family told WCVB.

Ocasio said that she was still in ‘shock’ at her daughter’s death inside the eight–bedroom, four–bathroom house in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood. 

‘You look at me right now, and I’m not shedding tears,’ she told Boston25News.

The mother added that she still had ‘not seen my baby,’ as she continued looking for answers.

‘I have not seen her laid out yet,’ Ocasio said. ‘It has not hit me yet. I’m not grieving yet.’

She also asked why no one had called her or 911 in relation to her daughter’s death.

In a GoFundMe fundraiser, Ocasio wrote that her daughter ‘tragically lost her life at just 18 years old.’

As of Thursday night, the fundraiser had raised about $16,700 of an initial $18,000 goal. 

Boston police had received a call to ‘investigate a person’ but discovered Marte’s body inside the property upon arrival, Officer James Moccia previously told the Daily Mail.

Marte’s death was being investigated by the Boston police’s Homicide Unit, according to Moccia.

While the house she died in is owned by Harris, he and his wife Pressley do not live there.

Harris purchased the house for $340,000 in 2021, and the property was listed for $1.15million last month.

Pressley addressed Marte’s death on her X account on Tuesday, calling what happened a tragedy.

‘I am devastated about the death of Yoseliani Marte, an 18–year–old with so many dreams ahead of her, her life cut short by domestic violence,’ Pressley wrote.

She added: ‘As the parent of a teenager, the thought of a young person violently losing their life in this way is beyond crushing.’

The cause of Marte’s death has not yet been confirmed by the chief medical examiner’s office, and they have not concluded that it was domestic violence.

A spokesperson for Pressley’s office said that the neither the Democratic lawmaker nor her family were involved in the fatal incident, WVLT reported.

A public obituary for Marte recalled her as a ‘beautiful soul whose kindness, warmth, and vibrant spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.’

She was survived by her mother, Elenie Ocasio, and her father, Jose Marte, as well as five siblings.

‘Her memory will forever live on through the stories, laughter, and unconditional love she leaves behind,’ the obit read.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Boston Police Department for an updated comment.

CHICAGO (WLS) — In an exciting turn of events for hockey enthusiasts, Patrick Kane is making his triumphant return to the Chicago Blackhawks, as officially announced by the team on Thursday.

The contract reveals Kane’s commitment to a two-year term with the Blackhawks, marked by a salary cap hit of $8 million. Over a remarkable 16-season career with the team, Kane has been pivotal in securing three Stanley Cup victories for Chicago.

Kane’s storied journey with the Blackhawks began when he was selected as the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft. That significant year marked the start of his career, alongside fellow rookie Jonathan Toews.

The Blackhawks traded Kane to the New York Rangers during the 2022-23 season. For the past three seasons, he showcased his skills with the Detroit Red Wings.

Throughout his illustrious career with the Blackhawks, the dynamic winger has scored an impressive 446 goals and contributed 779 assists. With a striking total of 1,225 points, Kane stands proudly as the second-highest scorer in the team’s history, trailing only the legendary Stan Mikita and his 1,467 points.

In addition to three Stanley Cups, Kane individually has won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s MVP in 2016, along with the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s leading scorer, the Conn Smythe Trophy, the playoff MVP, in 2013 and the Calder Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year in 2008.

Blackhawks fans expressed excitement Thursday after learning that Patrick Kane is returning to the team on a two-year deal, a move many hope will reunite a franchise icon with a new generation of talent led by Connor Bedard.

The news prompted enthusiasm among fans at the United Center, with some anticipating increased demand for tickets and season-ticket packages as Kane returns to the organization where he became a fan favorite and a key figure in the team’s championship years.

“Just nostalgia, it takes us back to when we had the dynasty, winning Stanley cups, seeing showtime celebrations. The crowd going electric and all that is coming back,” said Adam Story, a season-ticket holder.

Kane’s No. 88 jersey remains popular among fans, including younger hockey players who said they grew up watching him and modeling their game after his style of play.

“I’m really excited because I grew up watching him. I’m from the city; so it’s nice to see him come back because he’s one of the players I looked up to growing up,” said Helen Lane, a young hockey player.

Fans also said they believe Kane’s experience could benefit a roster filled with young talent.

“He’s gonna bring the history of Stanley cup victories. He’s gonna tell them what this stadium is like when the Blackhawks are doing well, the old intangibles. It’s gonna be a very positive effect. I’m very excited,” said lifelong fan Tom McMahon. “I just have to talk my wife into it.”

The excitement has also extended to ticket sales, with fans already planning for Kane’s return to the United Center this fall.

“Already asking for more tickets for the home opener now to bring more family and friends,” one fan said.

The Blackhawks’ home opener is scheduled for Oct. 6 against the St. Louis Blues. Ticket prices were already approaching $200 for the lowest-priced seats on some third-party ticket sites.

Was Odysseus, the iconic Greek hero from ancient lore, perhaps not as valiant as we’ve been led to believe?

Critics have taken aim at Christopher Nolan’s latest epic, “The Odyssey,” particularly for his interpretation of the legendary protagonist.  

In Homer’s timeless narrative, Odysseus is portrayed as a cunning and versatile hero, credited with devising the ingenious Trojan horse strategy. After the Greeks claim victory in their prolonged war with Troy, Odysseus embarks on a perilous and lengthy voyage back to Ithaca, where his faithful wife Penelope awaits his return. 

Nolan, however, has infused Odysseus with modern sensibilities to resonate with today’s audiences, but was there any choice?

Had Nolan embraced a strictly Homeric portrayal — featuring Odysseus as a character involved in kidnapping women, killing defenseless individuals, engaging with nymphs, and commanding harsh punishments on housemaids — it’s unlikely audiences would flock to theaters for a three-hour saga of such controversial adventures.

The values of Bronze Age Greece, when Odysseus was supposedly fighting and maneuvering his way home, were emphatically not our own. 

So, Nolan had to soften him.

But he went too far in this direction, giving us an Odysseus who is wracked by war guilt and suffering from PTSD. 

In the Homeric version, his long stay with the beautiful nymph Calypso underlines how desperate he is to get home — she offers him a life of endless pleasure, and still he pines for Ithaca.

In the Nolan version, Calypso serves as the hero’s therapist, and it emerges that he truly doesn’t want to go home until he works through all his dark memories. 

If this is a bit much, there’s no doubt that Nolan is drawing on elements of the original.

Homer has Odysseus weeping when he hears songs of the Trojan war, a wrenching depiction of his sense of grief and loss. 

This isn’t all: Nolan leaves it out of the movie, but in Homer’s telling Achilles, the Greeks’ greatest warrior, meets Odysseus in Hades and tells him he regrets having chosen a short life full of glory.

After all the obsession with military fame, it would have been better to sell insurance!

There have been many different literary depictions of Odysseus over the years.

Since he wasn’t a real person, none of them should be binding.

The likes of Sophocles and Euripides gave us negative portrayals, and Dante put him in the Eighth Circle of Hell for his deceptive tactic with the Trojan Horse — a major source of his guilt in the Nolan version, as well. 

Ultimately, the director renders a Christianized version of the pagan epic.

Having sinned, Odysseus needs to repent and seek forgiveness.

The movie is more evidence for the proposition that, even in our secular age, our notions of what constitute morality — and admirable conduct — rest on a Christian edifice. 

I found the Nolan movie gripping, despite some of its flaws, and at the very end, even inspiring.

For the finale, Nolan seems to draw on the depiction of Odysseus in the Alfred Tennyson poem “Ulysses” (another name for Odysseus).

The British poet renders an Odysseus who feels compelled always to learn and experience more, as he sets out on another journey after his return to Ithaca. 

Odysseus and Penelope in the movie almost directly quote Tennyson when Ulysses speaks of following “knowledge like a sinking star, / Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”

In this, Odysseus is the very embodiment of the questing, endlessly curious spirit of Western culture that has forged so many new discoveries and transformed the human condition.

Tennyson’s Ulysses believes, “’tis not too late to seek a newer world,” and “to sail beyond the sunset.”

He ends with a ringing commitment “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

The most fevered critics of the movie on the right suggest that Christopher Nolan seeks to subvert the Western tradition.

If so, the director — who has renewed interest in a Western classic and ends with a paean to the Western zest for exploration — has a funny way of going about it.

In a heart-wrenching moment in court on Thursday, the mother of a 14-year-old girl who was found brutally dismembered in the trunk of singer D4vd’s Tesla last year broke down in tears. Despite the emotional scene unfolding around him, the singer remained unemotional.

Real name David Burke, the artist faces severe accusations, including first-degree murder, sustained sexual abuse of a minor below 14, and illegally mutilating a body, all tied to the tragic death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

According to the prosecution, after stabbing the teen to death, Burke dismembered her in his garage, allegedly driven by her threats to expose their illicit relationship and jeopardize his career.

Burke, aged 21, has entered a plea of not guilty to all charges, with his legal team committed to a rigorous defense strategy.

During Thursday’s session of the preliminary hearing—aimed at assessing if the evidence justifies a trial—Celeste’s mother was visibly overcome with emotion, needing tissues as the drama unfolded, according to a report by TMZ.

The emotional outburst came as a Los Angeles police criminalist detailed how blood stains in the garage of the singer’s Hollywood home were a strong DNA match for the young girl.

Hernandez’s parents then wound up having to leave the hearing early, before a Los Angeles Medical Examiner started to testify. 

Meanwhile, the singer sat emotionless during the testimony – but was also seen smiling, nodding and casually speaking to his attorneys, Marilyn Bednarski and Blair Berk, as the hearing continued, according to Los Angeles Magazine.

Hernandez’s remains had been found in the front trunk of Burke’s Tesla on September 8, as it sat in an impound lot.

Disturbing images previously displayed in court showed Hernandez’s bloody head and torso inside a body bag in the trunk, as well as her severed arms and legs in a garbage bag underneath it. 

When authorities then learned the vehicle belonged to the singer, police technicians took samples from apparent blood stains on a rubber floor mat, a rowing machine and a Tesla charger in the garage.

Matches of several of those samples were ‘one septillion times more likely to occur if it originated from Celeste rather than anyone else in the population,’ criminalist Samantha Tosch testified on Thursday – pointing out that the number had 24 zeroes.

Testing was also done on a trash bag in the garage and stained cleaning wipes inside it that had tested positive for the presence of blood, Rolling Stone reports.

Tosch said the bag swab showed a mixture of DNA from four people, at least two of whom were male – including one she said was Burke’s.

Hernandez’s DNA was also found on the wipes but not the bag, while Burke’s DNA was not found on the wipes.

Another police criminalist testified that most of the garage stains were not visible to the naked eye and were uncovered by a chemical test that makes the area glow blue. A photo displayed in court showed the rubber mat cloaked in bright blue.

But under cross examination, Tosch conceded that she couldn’t say with certainty that the DNA profiles came from blood, and could’ve been from touch.

Tosch also acknowledged that it can’t be determined how DNA got on a spot, and that it’s even possible for it to transfer between people. 

The criminalist further admitted there’s no way to clearly establish how long the DNA had been there.

Defense attorney Blair Berk asked Tosch about the software the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) uses – which she suggested calculated only the likelihood that Burke’s DNA was present in the mixture from four people.

‘It’s not saying David Burke’s DNA was definitively found in the mixture,’ the lawyer argued.

Tosch then agreed that it was a ‘fair’ assessment, but it remained her professional opinion that the singer’s DNA was present on the outer trash bag.   

Burke’s lawyers have previously given little indication of any counternarrative they may present about how Hernandez was killed and how her dismembered body came to be found inside the trunk of Burke’s Tesla about five months later.

But they began giving glimpses into their defense strategy as they pressed various prosecution witnesses on why they didn’t conduct more DNA testing on items found in the singer’s home and car.

Berk dwelled on a pair of small chain saws found in Burke’s garage, where prosecutors say he dismembered the body. Lauren Wallace, another LAPD criminalist, testified that initial chemical tests showed no signs of blood on the saws, so the handles were not swabbed for any DNA left behind by someone who touched them.

‘If an item has somebody else’s DNA on it, you wouldn´t be able to see that at the time,’ Berk said.

‘No you’re not able to see touch DNA,’ Wallace admitted before reiterating that the blades had tested negative for blood.

‘But that doesn´t preclude at all that there could be somebody else’s touch DNA,’ Berk noted.

Prosecutors have claimed Burke began a sexual relationship with Hernandez when she was just 13 years old and he was 18 in November 2023.

When she then went missing that year, Hernandez’s mother told police her daughter was dating a guy she had never met, named David.

Authorities then questioned Burke about his relationship with the teenager, to which he said he believed Hernandez was 18 because ‘she told me she was 18,’ LA County Sheriff’s Senior Deputy Juan Gonzalez testified on Tuesday.

The singer then allegedly shared Hernandez’s phone number with the deputies and showed them photos from his phone of her yearbook picture.

When Hernandez later returned home, her family took her phone away. 

But prosecutors say Burke continued to pursue her – even paying a junior high school student in her class $1,000 so that the classmate could get Hernandez a new phone.

‘Throughout 2024, the victim spent a significant amount of time with defendant, including summer weekends at his home in the Hollywood Hills and traveling with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas to meet his family,’ they alleged in court documents.

‘Text exchanges between the victim and defendant contain references to sex, pregnancy, abortion and use of the Plan B emergency contraceptive.’

Prosecutors further alleged that they broke up in November 2024, but they continued to communicate.

After they then broke up again last April, the teenager became jealous over Burke’s relationship with other women, the preliminary trial brief claims.

Hernandez then ‘threatened to disclose damaging information about her relationship with defendant to end his career and destroy his life,’ the documents state.

At that time, prosecutors say, Burke was set to release his first solo album and had a multimillion-dollar career at stake.

With that allegedly on his mind, Burke sent an Uber to pick Rivas Hernandez up at her home in Lake Elsinore, California, at around 8.40pm on April 23 last year, and she was dropped off at the home he was renting in Hollywood Hills at around 10.10pm.

That is when he allegedly killed the teenager. 

Prosecutors say he then kept the body for weeks or months in the front trunk of the Tesla, where it was found after the car was towed four and a half months later while the singer was on tour promoting his debut album.
