SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT)- A new five-story campus is getting its finishing touches on Anapamu Street.

The Sanctuary Centers project will bring supportive housing, a medical clinic, and expanded behavioral health services to the area.

The campus is designed to support some of the community’s most vulnerable residents.

Construction is in its final phase as crews prepare for the crane to come down.

The non-profit is still working to close a three-million-dollar funding gap.

LOMPOC, Calif. (KEYT) – Ashlee Buzzard, the Vandenberg Village mother who is accused of murdering her daughter Melodee last year, failed to appear in court this morning – claiming illness for a second time.

Buzzard missed her initial procedural hearing back in February, her court date was rescheduled and Judge Stephen Dunkle approved a motion to admonish spectators inside the court room.

Buzzard's defense attorney says their team is continuing to comb through case warrants and forensic evidence records, but Buzzard must be present to assure a speedy trial.

The hearing was rescheduled to March 18th. If Buzzard fails to appear on that date, Judge Dunkle will issue an extraction order.
