Judge to Set Preliminary Hearing Date For Ashlee Buzzard

LOMPOC, Calif. (KEYT) - Ashlee Buzzard is expected in court this afternoon to set a date for a preliminary hearing.

The Vandenberg Village woman is accused of killing her 9-year-old daughter Melodee Buzzard in 2025.

Earlier in May, judges denied 2 motions made by Buzzard’s attorney, Erica Sutherland.

They ruled the defense had received enough forensic evidence to proceed with the case, and that a search warrant used to find evidence was supported by probable cause.

Buzzard is charged with first-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty.
