   Missing California girl Melodee Buzzard, 9, was found dead in a rural   
   part of Utah’s Wayne County from multiple gunshot wounds to the head,   
   authorities said. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested Tuesday on   
   suspicion of murder.   
      
   Cartridge cases found at the Utah crime scene in December were linked to   
   a cartridge case that was found at Buzzard’s Vandenberg Village home   
   during a search on Oct. 30, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said   
   at a Tuesday news conference.   
      
   “This level of criminal activity is particularly shocking given the   
   calculated, cold-blooded and criminally sophisticated premeditation and   
   heartlessness that went into planning it,” Brown said. “We have   
   recovered a significant amount of evidence that clearly indicates that   
   this heinous crime was committed by Ashlee Buzzard, Melodee’s mother.”   
      
   Melodee vanished during an unusual road trip with her mother this year,   
   sparking a months-long investigation.   
      
   During the trip, Buzzard changed out the license plates on her rental   
   car, backed the vehicle into gas stations and wore wigs in what   
   detectives described as possible attempts to avoid detection, according   
   to the Sheriff’s Office.   
      
   Melodee was last seen on a surveillance camera near the Utah-Colorado   
   border on Oct. 9. Detectives believe she was killed shortly thereafter,   
   Brown said.   
      
   On Dec. 6, a couple found a decomposed body while taking photos off East   
   State Route 24 outside Caineville, Utah. On Monday, DNA analysis of the   
   remains confirmed a familial connection to Buzzard, who is now being   
   held without bail at Santa Barbara County Northern Branch Jail, Brown   
   said.   
      
   “The detective called me this morning to let me know that they found the   
   baby and the baby is with her dad,” Melodee’s paternal grandmother,   
   Lilly Denes, told The Times on Tuesday. “I knew he was telling me that   
   the baby is dead.”   
      
   Melodee’s father, Rubiell “Pinoy” Meza, died in a motorcycle accident in   
   2016.
