Melodee Buzzard. Celeste Rivas. Two Cases Nobody Can Explain-WEEK IN REVIEW

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Some cases hit you in the gut, not because the details are complex, but because they’re painfully simple — and still, nothing happens. That’s the reality tonight as we look at the stories of Melodee Buzzard and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, two young girls caught in two different investigations that somehow keep producing the same baffling outcome: no real movement.
Nine-year-old Melodee is missing. Her mother, Ashlee — the last adult with her — spent days traveling across state lines in disguises, swapping licenses, behaving erratically, and allegedly holding a man in her home while threatening him with a blade. Every red flag possible is waving, yet she’s free on an ankle monitor. No cooperation. No answers. No urgency from the bench.
Fourteen-year-old Celeste was found in the frunk of a Tesla registered to musician D4vd — sealed inside a plastic bag, far into decomposition — and months later the medical examiner still can’t confirm cause or manner of death. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. Nothing but a misdemeanor for body concealment. And the silence around the investigation is deafening.
Two different cities. Two different sets of facts. But the same disturbing theme: a system that acts confused at the exact moment when clarity is most needed.
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down why these cases are stalling, why their outcomes remain so unclear, and why families and the public feel like they’re shouting into a void while the clock keeps ticking.
If you’re watching these cases and wondering how either situation makes sense — you’re not alone. Let’s dig in.
