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The only photo authorities have of Melodee is more than two years out of date, as the little girl is “homeschooled” in Vandenberg Village, just north of Lompoc, California.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

URGENT! Missing tot boy vanishes from grandma's yard, PLUS: Male nurse rapes, impregnates disabled patient [Cops]

Hundreds of volunteers and officers from several law enforcement agencies are combing a dense and wet forest in eastern North Carolina for signs of a little boy who vanished from his great-grandmother's backward Tuesday afternoon. Casey Hathaway's disappearance is being treated for now as a missing child case and not an abduction. Nancy Grace looks at the case with experts including Southern California prosecutor Wendy Patrick, psychologist Dr. William July, Atlanta juvenile judge & lawyer Ashley Willcott, and former detective Steven Lampley. Grace is also joined by Los Angeles defense lawyer Brian Claypool and Crime Stories reporter John Lemley to discuss the arrest of a nurse in the case of an incapacitated patient at the longterm health care who gave birth.
