Authorities allege Ashlee Buzzard, mother of missing 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, switched license plates during a road trip to evade detection. They departed California on Oct. 7, with Melodee last seen in surveillance footage on Oct. 9 near the Colorado-Utah border. Ashlee returned home alone on Oct. 10, and investigators are focusing on the timeline between these dates. Ashlee has not cooperated with the investigation, and Melodee remains missing.
