The No-Body Murder Of Codi Bigsby.. Content Warning.
The search for 4-year-old Codi Bigsby continues as authorities scratch their heads in confusion over what happened to the young boy, when he seemly vanished without a trace on the night of January 31, 2022. Codi’s father, Cory, told authorities that Codi was not in the home when he woke up on that Monday; furthermore, he said that he searched the house, but his son was nowhere to be found. At the time, authorities were hesitant to believe that Codi was abducted, but rather believed that they would find him near his father’s home in Buckroe Beach, Hampton. Hampton Police Chief Mark Talbot said, “The investigation does not indicate that he was abducted. There’s just no reason to believe it. We certainly are open to that as a possibility. It is not likely”. Authorities have stated that there were other children located within the home at the time the child disappeared, but the police chief would not elaborate on how many children there were in the home.
