Chief Mark Talbot says there are concerns Codi Bigsby may not have gone missing when his father said he did (2A.m.) When I asked if there was reason to believe Codi was in danger…he responded “they really want to find him.”
@WAVY_News

I don't like the sound of this AT ALL!

I don't like the sound of this AT ALL!

And so it begins. Again.

Something doesn't feel right...

 

[cuffem]

Something doesn't feel right...

For me it is the flip flops at 2 am in January.

 

[insearchoflight]

For me it is the flip flops at 2 am in January.

Agree!
Weird if your kid was wearing flip flops and pjs at that time? Why? Aren’t they asleep?

 

[GuyfromCanada]

When asked whether there were signs of foul play at the home where Codi disappeared, Chief Talbot could not comment.

4-year-old Virginia boy reported missing, FBI joins as search expands

 

[LaborDayRN]

I wonder if the townhouse complex has security cameras..........
Maybe LE could see if anyone walked or drove away during the night.

Press conference transcribed.

LE - We are here on behalf of 4 yr. old Codi Bigsby. We received a call about 9 O'clock this morning from Cory Bigsby who is the father of 4 yr. old Codi. Mr. Bigsby said that he woke up this morning and he found that his son Codi was missing. Mr. Bigsby said that he reached.....I'm sorry, he searched his home and he looked all over, his son was gone. He was nowhere to be found.

Our officers responded to the residence which is located adjacent to me, to my right. Our responding officers searched the home again and we were also unable to find Codi. There were other young children inside the home. The other kids are safe and they are with us right now, along with dad.

Codi is an african american child, he is about 3 and a half ft. tall. He has a medium complexion and he's believed to be dressed in all black and he may be wearing spiderman flip flops. We immediately contacted several of our partner agencies, many of them are represented here. We've called every resource and we have every resource out here that we can think of that we can bring Codi home safely. The FBI is here assisting us, Hampton Fire is here assisting us. We've had helicopters and airplanes and drones out here and of course we're searching on foot as well. We will be working until we find Codi. We do not feel that there is any danger to the general public at this point. If that changes we will let you know. We've received numerous offers of support from other members of the public, we do not need assistance here at this time. What we do ask the public is if they see something that they believe could be related to this case, that they reach out and they call 911. We ask the public to share Codi's photo on social media and we ask them to spread the word to all of there associates. Any questions?

Reporter - Is there any reason to believe there's any danger to the public (couldn't catch the rest of it)

LE - We are searching frantically for Codi. We are obviously concerned given the resources we have out here, so we really want to find him.

Reporter - What is the latest in the investigation? Have you all found any surveillance video, dashcam footage that neighbours may have?

LE - We don't have anything more about the investigation that we can share at this point.

Reporter - Has the mother been co-operating? You said obviously the father's been co-operating.

LE - We have spoken to Codi's mother.

Reporter - Has she been co-operating?

LE - She's spoken to us and given us the answers to the questions that we've posed.

Reporter - Is there any indication whether he may have walked out the door..(inaudible)

LE - We don't know.

Reporter - If somebody has a ring camera or something, is that something your division is interested in at this time, If it's in the general area?

LE - We are interested in any video that anybody might have of something that they believe could be related. We aren't convinced that it happened, at exactly when we found out about it so if anybody out there believes that they have video or information that could be related to Codi's disappearance we want to see it as quickly as possible.

Reporter - What's the explanation for the gap in time between when the kid last seen and the father reported it to you all?

LE - The child was reportedly asleep and when dad woke up he searched for the child and said the child wasn't there.

Reporter - Does Codi live with the father full-time or does he live with his mother full-time, how does that work?

LE - Codi lives with his father.

Reporter - Has Codi ever walked off before or (couldn't make the rest out)

LE - We don't know and if somebody who lives close or is aware of the family has that information then we would like to know.

Reporter - Who made the 911 call? Was it the father this morning?

LE - Codi's father called us, yes.

Reporter - What's the relationship like between Codi and his mother?

LE - I don't know.

Reporter - Is there any indication he might be with... like outside of the family, with a family member, aunt, grandmother?

LE - There's no reason to believe that he's with another family member.

Reporter - Is there signs of foul play in the home or is that something you can't say?

LE - I don't want to comment on that.

Reporter - How many people were inside the home?

LE - The dad was home and there were other small children in the home, I'm not sure how many.

Reporter - Father still co-operating with you all?

LE - So far dad is answering our questions.

Thanks for transcribing this! The sound level on my feed was too low for me to catch it all (and, someone was loudly crinkling packaging in the same room ).

The fact that they didn't want to comment on whether there were signs of foul play in the house is particularly concerning! Hopefully that just means they haven't had the opportunity to do a really thorough forensic search.

Where are you Codi? Hope you're safe somewhere!

And this (from a link above) "Chief Mark Talbot says there are concerns Codi Bigsby may not have gone missing when his father said he did (2A.m.)"

BIG RED FLAG!

BIG RED FLAG!

And the Police Chief said the young kids were safe with them, as was Dad. Does this mean they are holding him?

 

[MsMarple]

And the Police Chief said the young kids were safe with them, as was Dad. Does this mean they are holding him?

Sounds like it. Whether the chief meant it or not it seems like much of what he said implies that LE suspects foul play. JMO I think the case will resolve soon. Unfortunately I don’t think Codi is safe somewhere but we can all hope.

This all reminds me of the Keir and Chloe Johnson case. Still unsolved. By the Hampton PD.

 

[GuyfromCanada]

There was a major search response underway all day at the complex. WAVY’s Chopper 10 got footage of the search from above around midday.

[LauraAnne]

Hmm. It's always curious to me, that anyone would see a 4 year old at 2 a.m. I wonder what the dad has said caused him to see the child at that time?

 

[charminglane]

Is there a woman that lived there, too? Or does dad live there with other little ones alone?

 

[Shanabanana]

Pls be found unharmed

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Poor little Codi. I hope he's located safe.

 

[chihuahua]

Have been following all day.
There's still some snow on the ground there.
Where are you precious little boy?
They've been asking for everyone to check ring doorbells and and other cameras.
At this point, nothing public yet.
Please let there be a positive outcome.
We wait together as always,
Chi
