The return of Ashlee Buzzard to her California home following the disappearance of her daughter, Melodee Buzzard, brings a lot of scrutiny. So, it seems that commentators don’t view her as a victim. Increasingly, she seems to become a person of interest. Now, she’s making moves that raise suspicion among true crime followers.
A New Move?
Ashleigh Banfield revisited updates about Melodee’s mom on News Nation on Wednesday night. Well, she opened with a question, asking, “What has this mom been up to since returning home to California alone?” Then she answered herself, and set the tone of the vlog.
Ashleigh noted, “She ain’t moving heaven and earth to get her little girl back. I’ll tell you that,” Next, she raised the idea that Ashlee might be thinking of moving out. Evidently, footage filmed by a neighbor seemed to suggest a possible relocation. Banfield added, “Ashlee had what looked like moving boxes delivered to her home.”
Changing Hair Styles Again
Right since Melodee was first reported missing by a school administrator, folks knew that Ashlee liked wearing wigs. In fact, it was believed that the last sighting of Melodee in public showed her wearing a wig as well. Now, it seems that footage filmed by a neighbor showed the mother “appeared to have changed her hair as well, or her wig once again.”
Of course, that raises the questions as to whether altered appearances and moving boxes might precede an attempt to flee. Wouldn’t most people stay home and hope that their daughter might be located and returned home?
Puzzling Events
Updates revealed that not only did the car driven by Ashlee go on a roundabout journey, but she also switched plates. As you know by now, Melodee Buzzard never returned from the trip with her mom. Obviously, there are a lot of red flags.
Plus, Banfield reminded viewers that last week, Ashlee was “hauled out of that house and taken with what looked like detectives, plainclothes detectives with side arms,” to an “alternate location.”
Next, “police and FBI raided her home for hours and a storage locker.” The fact that she was later “allowed to return” was described by Banfield as “a head scratcher.” Actually, developments like this only make true crime followers wonder what the heck is going on.
A Uber Trip & More
More came, and Ashleigh Banfield talked about how after staying home for about 72 hours, Melodee’s mom allegedly took an Uber for a two-hour trip. Later, when a sheriff’s deputy arrived, they said they “had something to give her.” However, she “refused to answer the door.”
Clearly, her behavior seems evasive and odd for a mom waiting for her child to be found. No wonder people think it’s all very strange. The rundown by Banfield suggested that Ashlee might be the main suspect in the disappearance of her daughter: which makes people wonder why there’s been no arrest.
Allegedly, “what’s believed to be plainclothes officers or agents parked outside of Ashley’s house round the clock.” So, it’s not like the cops lost interest in the Melodee Buzzard case. Notably, moving boxes and changing appearances seem anything but innocent behavior.
Reactions In The Comments
At the time of writing this article, the update had only been up a few hours but people rushed to have their say in the comments area. One person penned, “Tell us you did something without telling us you did something.”
Mind you, some folks thought it was wrong for neighbors to film Ashlee. Here are a few other responses from the discussion area:
- Oh poor Melodee – I am so worried for your wellbeing. I’m so sorry your mother failed you. So many strangers are praying for you.
- What do you have to do to get arrested in California?
- Where’s all of the “parents know what is best for their own children” talk that we usually hear?
