At a vigil Friday night at “Codi’s Fence” at the Buckroe Point Apartments, where the 4-year-old was reported missing by his father back on January 31, nearly 30 gathered expressed they still hope for positive news.
“This child is still missing and we will continue onto bring out his name,” Klalil Cribb, a social activist and member of United We Stand of Hampton Roads, said as part of a prayer. “We pray Codi is kept out of harm.”
"I still think he's alive. I'm not going to say he's deceased. I believe he's somewhere maybe out of state or he's just missing"

“He made statements to literally everybody, so we are going to have everybody come into court to be prepared to… it’s going to be a circus. To basically have everybody come into court where there has been no statement of law concerning what has been violated,” Bell said.

The trial will be preceded by a motion to suppress evidence hearing on Sept. 20, where the team plans to ask to throw out all of Bigsby's statements made to the Hampton Police Division.
Hampton Commonwealth's Attorney Anton Bell said that prosecutors don't plan to use any of the statements Bigsby made before getting a lawyer.
"But the statements before that, that the Commonwealth said they wouldn’t use, led to the statements after," said Bigsby's Attorney Amina Matheny-Willard. "You know, when you are having a conversation with somebody, you ask follow-up questions.”

A Hampton Circuit Court judge postponed the hearing Tuesday, which was meant to debate what evidence should be permitted in his upcoming trial.

Once the subpoenas are re-filed, Bigsby’s defense team and prosecutors will discuss what evidence should be thrown out before the trial starts.
Brown is trying to subpoena 10 people in total.
“Four FBI agents and it’s about six Hampton police officers that were there,” he said.

Bigsby will appear in court again on October 13. His trial is expected to start in November.
An attorney for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Kent Porter, asserted that Bigsby’s lawyers didn’t follow federal law in how to go about requesting testimony from the FBI agents who interrogated Bigsby along with the Hampton police detectives. As such, Porter asked a judge to throw out the defense’s subpoenas for agents to testify on Tuesday.
Porter said Bigsby’s lawyers included a last name for one agent on a subpoena, but didn’t name the others at all. Moreover, Porter said, federal agents can’t testify in court without express authorization from the U.S. Attorney’s Office after a formal process to request their testimony.
Bigsby is the father of 4-year-old Codi Bigsby, who still missing after more than nine months. He faces several child neglect charges unrelated to his son's disappearance.
A Hampton judge ruled he didn’t hear enough evidence in the courtroom to suppress what Cory Bigsby told detectives on the night his son Codi was reported missing.
The specific timeline in question is between 9:33 p.m. on January 31 to 4:13 a.m. on February 1 when Cory asked for a lawyer.
That means whatever was revealed to detectives during this time can be used during the trial.
As part of the motion to suppress the questioning that took place, Cory Bigsby’s attorneys filed 10 subpoenas: six for Hampton Police officers and four for FBI agents. All 10 people are believed to have been involved in the interrogation of Bigsby.
The judge ruled to quash three of the four subpoenas for the federal agents.
