VA VA - Codi Bigsby, 4, last seen at dad's home, Cory Bigsby (dad) named as POI, Hampton, 31 Jan 2022

I expect they've looked in all vehicles and trunks right?
I remember a little missing boy was finally found sleeping in a neighbor's car....it was fairly recent.

IDK, I'm a bit concerned that they finally looked in dumpsters etc hours later. I would think this would have been done much earlier IMO

I just don't see a little 4 year old going outside and away in the middle of the night, in the cold no less. Kids just don't wake up in the middle of the night unless they have a nightmare or want some water, and they go to the parent.

Then again, remember the tot who left through the front door of an apartment building, in a diaper, at night? It was on video. He was found frozen in a snow bank. I think it was in Canada.

Where was he sleeping? Alone in a bedroom or with siblings? Upstairs or downstairs?
If downstairs was the window, or door, tampered with from the outside?

I had a cousin who would sleep walk. At the age of 4 she went outside, crossed the street and walked into a home during the night. The father of the family woke up to her standing next to the bed. I would have jumped out of my skin!! He walked her back across the street to her parents.
It's possible, but highly unlikely IMO

4-year-old Hampton boy reported missing, FBI joins as search expands | WRBL
.......
Around 11 p.m., 10 On Your Side was at the apartment complex where Codi was reported missing. We saw forensic units going through a dumpster at the complex. They did remove a mattress from the dumpster, but it’s unclear whether investigators found anything pertinent to the investigation.
.......

Bolded by me.

I hope they will check dumpsters throughout the neighborhood. It always shocks me when evidence is found in the dumpsters right at the crime scene. It happens all the time though.

-Talbot declined to comment on whether there were signs of foul play in the home.
-There were other young children in the home who are all safe with police. (so not with dad)
4-year-old Hampton boy missing and endangered, police say
and
-"Chief Mark Talbot says there are concerns Codi Bigsby may not have gone missing when his father said he did"
4-year-old Virginia boy reported missing, FBI joins as search expands
And now the dumpster searches after midnight.

We know where this is likely leading..... imo

I wonder what they mean by "may not have gone missing when his father said he did".

 

[Gemmie]

I wonder what they mean by "may not have gone missing when his father said he did".

It means he may have gone missing at a time other than when his father said he did.

 

[LaborDayRN]

I wonder what they mean by "may not have gone missing when his father said he did".

It's a curious statement. I know they must be interviewing the other children. They may have shared something with LE that puts the "missing" time in question.

 

[whitelilac]

I wonder what they mean by "may not have gone missing when his father said he did".

Perhaps he contradicted himself, or one of the other children said something to put the missing time in question?

eta....I see the same in above comment now.

eta....I see the same in above comment now.

I wonder if they mean he went missing before 2am? If his father is claiming Codi was last seen at 2am and LE were called at 9am, then it must mean LE believe Codi went missing before 2am. It's just a strange thing to say, or a strange way to put it.

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.

Key words: “so far.”

It's possible that his siblings, neighbors, family or friends said it had been longer since they'd seen him. Or perhaps Dad's story is changing. Whatever it is, LE found it concerning.

The fact that he may have gone missing before Dad reported it ads interest to the statement, when asked "is the mother cooperating", and LE said "she's answering questions". Odd thing to say. Unless you strongly believe she's not telling the truth. Then it's the perfect thing to say.

I was really hoping for some good news this morning. Let's pray today is the day sweet Codi is located.

They believe the caregivers are key to finding out what happened to Codi - "this case is not an Amber alert case"

Focusing on WHEN ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC SAW CODI LAST.
