Melodee Buzzard is Missing: A Cross-Country Trip and a Mother’s Unravelling Story
9-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished in October after a cross-country trip with her mother, and the story behind her disappearance keeps getting stranger. Her last confirmed sighting was near the Colorado–Utah state line. Days later, her mother returned to Lompoc alone, with swapped license plates, changing statements, and no explanation for where Melodee went.
In this episode, I break down the complex timeline: the surveillance footage, the multi-state route, the allegations that Melodee was left with a Utah “zoo couple,” and the disturbing claim that Ashlee cut Melodee’s face out of missing posters inside her home. Private investigators now believe Melodee may still be close to Lompoc.
If you have information about Melodee’s whereabouts, contact authorities at (805) 681-4150.
