It’s been more than a month since 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished after being seen on surveillance video traveling from California with her mother, Ashlee Buzzard. After Melodee’s disappearance, Ashlee was arrested for allegedly holding a man named Tyler Brewer against his will. Brewer says Ashlee revealed where her daughter is. On Wednesday, Ashlee was released from jail under GPS monitoring.

On this episode of “Serving Justice,” criminal trial attorney Sara Azari is joined by former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, Law & Crime host Jesse Weber and NewsNation reporter Safia Samee Ali to break down the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard, the latest developments in the case and how it compares to other missing children investigations.
