and then there is this one:
The statement was introduced in court Wednesday in a motion by Bigsby’s attorneys to prevent four written jailhouse statements being used as evidence in Bigsby’s murder trial. The defense asserts that Bigsby made the statements under duress.

But in one statement, given to a regional jail guard in November 2022, Bigsby wrote that he killed his son.
“On June 18, 2021, I, Cory Bigsby walked in the room and grabbed Codi and drag him into the kitchen,” he wrote. Then, Bigsby said, he “thumped his head on the floor and beat him with my fist and he went into cardiac arrest.”

“He did not so I held him and prayed to God that he bring my baby back,” he said. “Then I took him the room and layed him on the bed.” After that, he said, he got a flashlight and charged it, got gas at a gas station, bought some snacks.
Bigsby wrote that he went to an empty car wash and put Codi into a bag, then drove home and put the boy “in the fridge.” Then he put Codi back in the car, and drove him to a building and dug a hole by a tree and buried him.
“Then went home and prayed for forgiveness,” Bigsby wrote. He went to King’s Dominion the next day, and later “dumped my clothes from the crime in the trash and burned them.”
“Then the next day I went back to burn Codi and cover up scars from the beatings,” he said, though the statement doesn’t explain how he accessed Codi, given that he previously wrote that he was already buried.
“Then I went home and took a bath with (another child),” he wrote. “Please except my confession! Sincerely Cory Bigsby.”

Codi has never been found.
In jailhouse statements, Cory Bigsby wrote he beat toddler son to death, buried body
This was a November 2022 jailhouse confession. I believe it's his most recent. I believe it's the closest he has come to telling the absolute truth. The previous confessions were all minimizations. I stepped outside and found him unresponsive. I stepped outside and found him at the bottom of the stairs, etc. This one . . . This one rings true IMO MOO
