The disappearance of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard just took a shocking turn. The FBI and Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office have raided her home, a storage unit, and the rental car her mother drove cross-country — and investigators now say Melodee was seen alive two days later than anyone thought, hundreds of miles away on the Utah-Colorado border. Where did she go next? And why were the car’s license plates switched from California to New York and back again?

Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished after a cross-country trip with her mother—then Mom came home alone and stopped cooperating. Surveillance shows Melodee in a hood and what appears to be a wig; a rental car logged hundreds of miles; the FBI is now involved. In this episode, we trace the paper trail, the digital breadcrumbs, and the chilling 72-hour ultimatum to “produce Melodee or face arrest,” and ask the only question that matters: where is Melodee?
