CA CA - Melodee Buzzard, 9, Vandenberg Village, 14 Oct 2025

[Megnut]

Buzzard's attorney argued that his client is not a flight risk and that the complaint was non-violent.

The prosecutor, however, disagreed, stating that a box cutter was involved in the crime and that authorities have discovered she wore wigs and switched license plates on the road trip she took with her daughter.

Not a flight risk???? When she's been able to disappear one human being already? Road trip across the country but she's no flight risk?

If she disappears....

Thankfully it doesn't appear she has a vehicle. But at this point with all of her sneaky shenanigans I wouldn't put anything past her.

ridiculous call, but i don't think she can leave again without being watched and followed

Being manic and psychotic, she did something bad and now she just doesn't want to admit it. No good people would keep a child hidden because they know there will be a lot of problems. I hope she didn't leave her somewhere in the desert knowing those places.

i've entertained the idea that she did something idiotic like leave her in a national park with a tent and some snacks. but i think the evidence points more to her leaving her with someone, if the idea was just to hide her.

but with the continued drip of crazy coming off her (sorry), who knows

It's so strange. I'd love to see several of her pictures lined up here for comparison purposes.
Regarding the ankle monitor - she is not going to like that at all! She seems very protective of her privacy, it's going to nut her up IMO.

I tried, this is not my skill so I'm hopeful someone can improve

Ashlee Buzzard had a hearing today. She was released with an ankle monitor. View attachment 624649

Ugh!!!!!!

 

[Lebowski]

What is with moms hair? Not trying to be rude, this is a very serious matter. It she wearing another wig?

the fact that she's done something to it again is just ... off. if it's rational, it seems like she has/had more subterfuge in mind. and if it's irrational, boy that seems unstable.

 

[Gigglingtoes]

Ashlee looks significantly different in every photo and it's not just the wigs. If you told me that was the same person as this I would never believe it. Even the wig photo from the car dealership looks like a third completely different person!

I think she uses dark pencil on her eyebrows and eyes

I'm leaning that way also but wouldn't LE be able to establish who she had been in contact with for the last couple of months or so? She would have to discuss it in some manner with the other person. If not electronically was it by mail? Is that why she was burning items? (Am I remembering that right?) Maybe by snapchat?
Why was she so afraid of the then impending wellness check that she had to hide her daughter? What were they going to discover?

It’s going to get in the way of her signature boots!

I know that cameras and security cameras can make our skin look "better," but the photo from the court appearance seems to be the only one in which she is not wearing any kind of makeup. It's also the only one where her entire face can be seen in profile and is not blocked by super long, thick hair. You can see she has forehead lines/wrinkles and sagging jaw skin. This is why she looks older or more "rough" at court. MOO.

 

[Gigglingtoes]

Fake eyelashes too.

You did great! She looks so healthy in that shot of her in the apron.
I've kind of noticed, with the exception of older photo's that she is always in long sleeves. Covered, like she kept her daughter.

 

[Fromeaster]

It feels like she's aged twenty years, her face says it all. It also seems to me that she has some idiotic idea, knowing her idiotic behavior.

the mathematician, kurt godel, always went around covered up like that. even in the middle of summer. he was really smart. and a category 5 lunatic.

always thought someone was trying to poison him. the only people who could convince him to eat were his wife and (not making this up) albert einstein. whenever the latter of those two died, i think he starved within a week or so.

And why aren't they suing for fake license plates? At first I thought that someone really helped her, but then I read that it's very easy to buy other license plates online.
