She was found dead! Just catching up, I’ll get a link! Obviously I’m late in making that statement. Didn’t read ahead. Sad news, I really thought she was still alive maybe.

Ashlee’s game face and demeanor really threw me off.

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.

Body of 9-year-old Melodee found, mother Ashlee Buzzard arrested, sources confirm

This is from MSM and seems to confirm rumors of Medodee's death albeit from anon sources inside investigation.
Presser will be at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, 3:00 PM Mountain, 4:00 PM Central and 5:00 PM. ET. Lauren from Hidden True Crime just gave a YouTube update. She will cover the presser live on HTC.

the body or remains was found earlier this month in Utah, but officials didn't make it public because they needed DNA confirmation

KTLA has a short video but we won't know more until the 2:00 PM PST presser - HTC covering it live on YouTube

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?
that wasn't Melodee. The remains were found earlier this month and they needed to do DNA confirmation so likely Melodee was dead when reported missing or earlier. Once again, live presser at 2:00 PM Pacific time and 5:00 ET

She was seen on CCTV in or around October 7th. Unless that wasn’t Melodee as LE reported.
yes. It either wasnt Melodee on CCTV or she died shortly afterward. I don't remember where that video was taken, because the body found in Utah. Hi Stacey

on edit - maybe it was Melodee and she died right after that

How frightened must melodee have been 😭 can't believe she went all that way just to then kill her

I really had hope melodee was just being hidden alive
I hoped they would find her with friends, but the mom was so sleazy I feared the worst

I recommend watching Lauren Mathias Hidden True Crime live video on YouTube. The live is finished but you can rewind and watch it. Lauren will be back to cover the live presser. I hope Websleuths will cover this tonight on YouTube ???

She went all that way to do what she did and then returned to her rental. What was her plan, if any?

Or that ABC article made a mistake in their reporting and had the timeline wrong.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office did not provide additional information and only said it will share "major developments" in Melodee's case at a news conference at 2 p.m. local time, 5 p.m. ET Tuesday.


Does anyone have a link to the presser?
The Presser hasn't happened yet, but will be covered on YouTube Hidden True Crime channel - prob others, too

Just saw this news. Horrific. I’m just so saddened for Melodee and her family. I had hope this case would end differently.

If LE says little Melodee was found in Utah, then it was very western Utah, very close to the Gandy ranch.

Was Ashlee known to be traveling along Highway 50 across Nevada into Utah?

The pin in the center of this map is at Devil's Gate Slot Canyon. It is just across the border in Utah, although the access road appears to be in Nevada.

Herat. That sounds like the route they took. I watched a couple videos on that, but don't remember exactly. At one point they did a detour off the main highways
