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

[MissUnderstood]

I have not read the entire thread so far(My apologies if discussed) but my first question is "Why does a 4 year old have on Spiderman flip flops at 2AM???

that stuck out for me too. Wouldn’t he be asleep at 2am? Was he not in bed under the covers nice and warm? Apparently not. Moo

 

[stattlich1]

Well, what other possibilities do we have then?

“We don’t believe that 4-year-old Codi wandered off and we don’t believe that he was abducted,” Hampton Police Chief Mark Talbot said at a press conference Tuesday morning.

Evidence on missing 4-year-old Codi Bigsby conflicts with previous info, Hampton police say

 

[stattlich1]

So, if he didn't wander off, and he wasn't abducted, and he was last seen in the home at 2 a.m., uhhhhhh, I was born at night, but not LAST night.

How'd he go missing then? I mean, he didn't walk out of there, and nobody came in and got him.

What could I be missing here?

“There is a person of interest — we are most interested in Codi’s parents,” Talbot said."

"The information from Bigsby is not reliable, according to Talbot."

I think the police are heavily implying that they believe someone close to him or in that home is responsible for his disappearance. Definitely not getting a good feeling about this one.

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.

I'm just learning about this case and reading through the thread to catch up. However, I had a thought and I aplogize if it's been already said.

The transcript says that dad woke up, searched the house and then called the police. Then how did he know that he was gone at 2am?

Dad didn't say Codi was gone at 2 am, he said that was the last time he saw Codi. Then, Dad supposedly woke up around 9 and Codi was gone. But, LE has already said that his story doesn't match evidence so we don't even know at this point that anyone saw Codi at 2 am. MOO

 

[JurassicParker]

I really don't have a good feeling about this. Another precious child who deserved better.

Court documents uncovered by our team on Tuesday show an assault allegation made in 2018 against Cory Bigsby, Codi’s father. The assault claim was made by Codi’s mother.

She told police that during a fight, Cory Bigsby threatened to kill her. When she defended herself by grabbing a knife, Bigsby bit and choked her, according to the court documents.

I have a gut feeling they may have to go back prior to the day Codi was reported missing to get to the bottom of it all.

 

[Kristin Esq.]

Dad didn't say Codi was gone at 2 am, he said that was the last time he saw Codi. Then, Dad supposedly woke up around 9 and Codi was gone. But, LE has already said that his story doesn't match evidence so we don't even know at this point that anyone saw Codi at 2 am. MOO

Thanks! This is what happens when I post without reading the whole thread

A couple of folks up thread asked about maps or a description of the area. I have attached a closeup of the complex, a wide area view which includes nearby beaches and waterways, and one of the steam plant which is about 10 miles/20 minutes from the complex and which has been searched by LE. It is where trash from the dumpsters at the complex is taken. There is a also a large wooded area adjacent to the apartment complex.

Just spoke with police. They say they don’t have any new information at this hour. So, there won’t be a press conference this morning. Police did say they are having a ‘big search’ at noon. Volunteers told me they were told to meet at Merrimack Elementary at noon.

Wow, something must be really off for them to name the parents so quickly. Are they naming the mother or the father? Don't Codi's parents live separately?
