Colby Ryan, the sole surviving child of Lori Vallow Daybell, has expressed his deep concerns over the unsettling similarities between the disappearance of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard and the tragic fate of his siblings, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow.

Ryan appeared on the “Banfield” program Monday night, just under two weeks after a Lompoc Unified School District official reported Melodee Buzzard missing.

On Friday, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office released new images thought to show Melodee Buzzard donning a wig at a car rental agency in California on October 7, before she left the state with her mother.

Investigators reveal that Melodee’s mother, Ashlee Buzzard, returned to California three days later without her daughter. A relative, Melodee’s aunt, has indicated that she believes the newly released images are indeed of her niece.

During the interview, Ryan shared his emotional reaction, stating, “First of all, it’s heartbreaking, and when you see things like this, especially involving children, it’s particularly frightening.”

“The similarities are scary,” he said of Buzzard’s situation to the murders of his siblings.

“I will personally tell you that I hope that is not the case. I never want to see what happened to my family repeated, but it’s hard to hear it, because for me, personally, just too many similarities.”

Vallow is serving four life sentences in Idaho after being found guilty in the deaths of her children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, and conspiracy in the death of her husband’s former wife, Tammy Daybell.

She has also been found guilty of conspiring to kill her estranged husband, Charles Vallow, and her former nephew-in-law.

“It should be very easy to be able to tell anybody where your children are. So I don’t have a gut feeling, but I do feel uneasy about it,” Ryan said of Melodee Buzzard’s unknown whereabouts.
