MELODEE, 9, MISSING, MOMMY: 'NO COMMENT,' WALKS FREE WITH ANKLE MONITOR

MELODEE, 9, MISSING, MOMMY: 'NO COMMENT,' WALKS FREE WITH ANKLE MONITOR

When Melodee Buzzard is first reported missing, school officials fear the little girl hasn’t been seen in more than a year.

The school district discovers Melodee was seen much more recently, enrolling in another year of homeschooling.
Santa Barbara County sheriffs then find that her mom, Ashlee Buzzard, left Lompoc with Melodee on October 7; they were spotted together at a car rental.

Security footage caught Melodee for the last time on October 9. Buzzard returns home the next day, alone. Melodee has now been missing for 35 days.

The only photo authorities have of Melodee is more than two years out of date, as the little girl is “homeschooled” in Vandenberg Village, just north of Lompoc, California.

Ashley Buzzard was arrested on Nov 7 for false imprisonment, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office. Ashley's arrest was for false imprisonment. This is not a child-related charge. So, this arrest is not related to Melodee. And it's not related to the ongoing missing person case directly. But, it is a case that came up amid this missing person case.

Four days after her arrest, Ashlee Buzzard entered a not guilty plea to false imprisonment. Prosecutors argue that Buzzard should remain incarcerated due to her flight risk and potential for violence.

However, her attorneys counter that she does not own a vehicle and did not specifically threaten Brewer with a box cutter. The judge agrees to grant Buzzard bail under close supervision and orders Buzzard to stay away from Brewer.
The 40-year-old is once again walking free.

Bonus episode:  Divers search lake for missing car after young Texas mom Emily Wade found dead; was she murdered?

Bonus episode: Divers search lake for missing car after young Texas mom Emily Wade found dead; was she murdered?

When the body of mom Emily Wade was found floating face-up in a Texas creek last month, investigators were baffled that her car could not be found upstream where they would expect to find it if the 38-year-old mom had accidentally driven into the swollen waters. Now, divers are searching a lake where a side-scan radar suggested there was a submerged vehicle. If her car is in the lake, it suggests something much more sinister in the woman's death. Nancy Grace is joined by Cajun Coast Search and Rescue Commander Toney Wade, who led the search that found Emily Wade's body. The panel of experts also includes forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober, Atlanta juvenile judge & lawyer Ashley Willcott, and reporter John Lemley.
