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.

does anyone have the map handy that shows the route AB took on her road trip? Did she pass through the silver springs area?

found this article about skeletal remains found in the area on the 15th of this month in a shallow grave. Trying to determine if it is related to this case.

Body of missing California girl Melodee Buzzard found after 2-month search, source says

Melodee, a 9-year-old from Lompoc, was reported missing in early October as local school district officials noted her "prolonged absence," they said.

www.nbcnews.com

The body of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard was found out of state more than two months after she went missing in Southern California, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told NBC News on Tuesday.

Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was taken back into custody, according to video shared with NBC News affiliate KSBY. The neighbors said they saw her being taken by deputies from her home in Vandenberg Village early Tuesday morning. It is not immediately clear why Buzzard was taken into custody...

I'm confused. She was reported missing 10/2025, didn't we see the both of them on CCTV at a car rental place after that? How could she have been deceased before she was reported missing?

I'm confused. She was reported missing 10/25, didn't we see the both of them on CCTV at a car rental place after that? How could she have been deceased before she was reported missing?

Either there's some timeline mistakes in the reporting or the girl in the CCTV footage wasn't Melodee.

 

[tlcya]

so, if Melodee was, as reported by ABC, dead for months before she was ever reported missing then does that mean it was NOT Melodee in the rental car surveillance videos?

Seen on video at rental car place Oct. 7th
seen alive at CO UT border Oct. 9th
reported missing Oct. 14th

the math doesn't math?

She was seen on CCTV in or around October 7th. Unless that wasn’t Melodee as LE reported.

agree, makes one wonder - if not Melodee, WHO was that on video on the 7th and witnessed at the border on the 9th??

 

[Jo in Calif]

I think ABC messed up, she was found 2 months after she was reported missing.
Props to LE for keeping this under wraps for so long. So many were saying case was cold, LE not investigating, LE just sweeping it under the rug.
