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

[Knox]

It’s been awfully quiet lately, SBCSO hasn’t put out a media release in a while. That’s who I want to hear from. The peripherals need to stick to social media.

Where is she? With strangers mommy met at a zoo? GMAB. I fear something terrible has happened to MB.

Hoping to get help in here.
I remember reading sometime from a neighbor stating Ashlee would not let Melodee play with her child because she didn't play well with others due to being autistic. This is the only source I've seen making that statement but I can't remember where I saw it. Article or video, or even a forum comment? Can someone point me in the right direction please.

I haven't watched the video myself but earlier in the thread, this video was linked for the source of the autism claim:

This case was moving incredibly quick last month and it seems to have slowed down considerably. I hope police know more than they are saying and are close to making some progress. Can’t stop thinking about little Melodee. I hope wherever she is that she’s safe and warm.

you never know how long a case will go on. some are solved in 5 minutes, some in 5 years, some in 5 never.

LE was clearly surveilling her at her rental and no doubt followed her to her next dwelling. We just don't happen to know where she is right now so things have died down. Part of me believes that they are waiting her out as a charge of child abandonment doesn't get much time in CA. About a year and a fine. And there needs to be, at least in the case of a living child, a certain period of time to pass before charges are pressed.

The question I can't answer is does LE know/think MB is alive or deceased. I hope they are monitoring AB's banking. I hate the wait.
