Tonight on Hidden Killers, we’re digging into the unraveling story surrounding nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard — and the disturbing firsthand account from the only person who’s been inside Ashlee Buzzard’s home since Melodee vanished.
According to witness Tyler Brewer, Ashlee claimed she handed her daughter to strangers she met at a zoo. No names. No contacts. Constantly shifting meeting spots across multiple states. Then, moments later, she snapped, “How do you know I left her in Utah?” Her story collapsing inside itself.
Brewer describes paranoia, accusations he was undercover, fears of being tracked, deleting accounts, talk of fake plates — and inside the home, a pillow dressed in Melodee’s clothes surrounded by torn missing-poster photos. A shrine to a missing child.
Her daughter is gone.
This is the behavior she’s exhibiting.
And still — no detainment, no mental-health hold, no arrest.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what this behavior means, why law enforcement can’t force cooperation, and what investigators actually need to move this case forward.
