Found Deceased CA - Melodee Buzzard, 9, Vandenberg Village, 14 Oct 2025 *Mother arrested*

I have a feeling this isn't good. Let's hope it is because they have found Melodee alive

Unfortunately, I don't think Melodee has been alive for a very long time. Poor kid.

 

[Vaderman]

This is like one of three or four other cases I'm following that makes me wonder what the heck is taking so long for charges/arrests to happen given the suspects seem to be known.

 

[tlcya]

I very much doubt they will find a living safe child. I suspect they finally have enough evidence to charge her with something and this case doesn't have a happy ending. Hoping to be wrong and waiting for MSM to confirm this alleged arrest and gives us a clue as to her charges.

My wishful thinking is she got caught mailing xmas gifts to Melodee. IF ONLY!

 

[Justice101]

I'm nervous about what the charges are

Maybe Desertion and Nonsupport of dependent children?

I love the "perp walk" haha. They could have parked closer, but they decided to parade that worthless down the street in cuffs.

One neighbor described the incident as quiet and quick, starting shortly before 7:45 a.m. The neighbor says authorities banged on the door with a metal tool and eventually used it to pry open the door and gain access to the home.

The screen door on the front of the Mars Avenue home now sits slightly ajar, appearing to be unable to close following the arrest.

Ashlee Buzzard, the mother of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, has been taken into custody, and multiple sources confirm that the girl's body was found.

Multiple law enforcement sources tell ABC News that Melodee Buzzard's body was found in early December in Utah in an area where it was known the two had traveled. Law enforcement had been waiting on DNA to come back on the human remains, which have now come back confirming it was Melodee.

This is from MSM and seems to confirm rumors of Medodee's death albeit from anon sources inside investigation.
