Sheriff’s officials say their investigation began on Tuesday, Oct. 14, when a school administrator reported that 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard had been absent for a prolonged period of time.

Deputies reportedly tried to contact Melodee and her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, at their home in the 500 block of Mars Avenue but the child was not there, and sheriff’s officials say there was no clear explanation provided for her whereabouts.

Vandenberg Village is not actually on the the AF base, but I wonder if her Mom works there or lives with someone who is in the AF? Odd that she can’t offer a location for Melodee is currently? This is local for me.

According to this news article, the last time anyone saw her was a year ago, and the most recent photo was two years old. Why is the school just now reporting it? https://ktla.com/news/california/ca...-girl-who-hasnt-been-seen-in-at-least-1-year/

They're not new to the area. (We can't sleuth the mom as she's not a suspect, but you can often verify addresses for a family through county court records). Case Records Search | Superior Court of California | County of Santa Barbara (public portal then smart search)

Last verified contact was approximately 1 year ago.

I saw that, wondering why the school took so long to report their concerns to LE? If mom sent Melodee to live elsewhere, it would have been an easy misunderstanding to clear up with LE, but evidently that didn’t happen. Super sus …

Hint - search her name on FB, that question is answered.
