"Authorities are asking the public for help locating a 9-year-old girl who disappeared last year in Santa Barbara County. Melodee Buzzard was reported missing on Tuesday after a school administrator realized she'd been absent for a "prolonged" amount of time, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Melodee is homeschooled, and no one has checked on her since October 2024, ABC News reported."
"For another case, a process server attempted to contact Buzzard at her Mars Avenue home in November 2024 on behalf of Crown Asset Management but was unable to find her, court documents show. "There was no answer at the address. House appears to be vacant but maintained house sounded empty. When I knocked garage is completely empty. There are no decorations or mats by the door,""
Melodee Buzzard, age nine and homeschooled, has not been checked on since October 2024 and was reported missing after prolonged school absence. Deputies visited her Mars Avenue home in Vandenberg Village and initially found no one; on a subsequent visit only her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was present. The sheriff's office reported no clear explanation for Melodee's whereabouts, and investigators could not confirm any recent sightings. Court records show Ashlee Buzzard faces legal actions and collections cases alleging unpaid debts from multiple creditors. A process server described the house as appearing vacant but maintained, with an empty garage and no door decorations.
