About this episode
Missing Melodee Buzzard, & Ashlee Buzzard’s Silence | Profiling Evil
Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished somewhere along the Utah-Colorado border after a strange cross-country trip with her mother, Ashlee Buzzard—a journey involving wigs, license-plate swaps, and days of evasive travel through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Nebraska. Ashlee Buzzard returned the rental car alone… and has refused to say where Melodee Buzzard is.
In this Profiling Evil breakdown, Mike King teams up with former Los Angeles prosecutor and criminal-defense attorney Joshua Ritter—host of Courtroom Confidential and The Sidebar—to examine the legal side of this heartbreaking case. Together, they discuss what investigators need before charging a parent, how digital forensics will guide this search, how the FBI’s involvement shifts the investigation, and what mental-health claims do (and do not) change in a missing-child case. If you know anything about the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard, contact the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office at 805-681-4150 or submit an anonymous tip at 805-681-4171.
