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The only photo authorities have of Melodee is more than two years out of date, as the little girl is “homeschooled” in Vandenberg Village, just north of Lompoc, California.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

Mom and dad distraught after son shot dead in Galleria Alabama mall cop shooting

Alabama investigators are working to sort out what happened at an Alabama mall Thanksgiving night that led to 2 people wounded and a 21-year-old man dead. Police initially said an off-duty officer working as private security shot a gunman who had just shot a 12-year-old girl and a 18-year-old man. But they now acknowledge that Emantic Bradford Jr., who was shot to death by the police officer, was not the shooter. Bradford's family is now demanding to see security and body camera video. Nancy Grace talks to the Bradford's attorney Benjamin Crump. They are joined by syndicated radio host Dave Mack, forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober, and lawyer Ashley Willcott.

Chandra Levy's mom demands new DNA technology be used could help solve daughters DC murder

Chandra Levy's mom demands new DNA technology be used could help solve daughters DC murder

Chandra Levy was a young intern at the FBI's Washington headquarters when she vanished in 2000. Her alleged romantic relationship with U.S. Rep. Gary Condit put her disappearance in the national headlines as suspicions swirled around the congressman. Levy's remains were found in a DC park a year later. Chandra;s mother wants the case reopened with new DNA testing technology used. Cold Case Research Institute Director Sheryl McCollum joined the discussion, noting that new touch DNA technology could help solve the case. Prosecutors however are reportedly not willing to spend funds to use the latest crime-solving technology, such as touch DNA or the M-Vac system, to help solve Chandra’s case. Susan said when she asked prosecutors in Washington, D.C., to retest the evidence in Chandra’s case, they told her “it’s all been done.” Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
