What a cutie! I wish we could look into a "Meowgic" ball and find her. Healthy and happy. In a safe place.

Ironically, as I typed that phrase, realizing that is exactly what Lori Vallow Daybell said Tylee and JJ. They were in a "safe" place.

The Lompoc Unified School District said Friday that 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, missing from Vandenberg Village, was first enrolled in the district just two months ago and was last seen in August, narrowing the timeline in a case that has drawn widespread attention.

In a written statement released Friday afternoon, district officials said Melodee and her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, visited Mission Valley Independent School in August to begin the registration process for independent study, a program in which students complete coursework off campus under teacher supervision.

Under California education law, independent-study programs require ongoing contact between families and credentialed teachers. If a student does not begin attendance or fails to engage, schools must initiate truancy protocols — including phone calls, written notices, and welfare checks requested through law enforcement.

The district said it could not share the information earlier at the request of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, which is leading the investigation.

Law enforcement said they had attempted to contact the girl and her mother at their home but they were not there and 'no clear explanation was provided.'

I don't think refusing to tell law enforcement where a child is provides probable cause for an arrest. You need evidence of a crime for that, and simply not knowing where a child is doesn't rise to that level.

I wish they would create a law in all 50 states to address this. It would have to be carefully thought-out, but to prevent these exact situations.
