What began as a frantic missing-child report quickly unfolded into one of Hampton’s most heartbreaking and troubling mysteries.

On January 31, 2025, 4-year-old Codi Bigsby was reported missing from his home. 🏠 His small frame, bright eyes, and innocent smile were suddenly the focus of an urgent search that stretched across neighborhoods, highways, and headlines.

His father, Cory Bigsby, initially told authorities that Codi had vanished overnight. 🚔 But as investigators pressed for details, inconsistencies emerged. Statements shifted. Timelines blurred.

Soon, the search for Codi was overshadowed by mounting concerns about the conditions inside the home. Authorities revealed troubling admissions — including claims that the children had been left alone in unsafe and dangerous circumstances. ⚠️

Cory Bigsby was arrested on felony child neglect charges, deepening the mystery surrounding Codi’s disappearance. ⚖️ What happened inside that home? Where was Codi? And why did the answers feel just out of reach?

Search teams combed through wooded areas, neighborhoods, and waterways. Volunteers joined law enforcement, clinging to hope with every passing hour. 🕊️ But as days turned into weeks, optimism began to fade, replaced by a heavy silence that settled over the community.

Hampton rallied together — prayer vigils, posters, and candlelight gatherings illuminated the night. 🕯️💙 A city refused to forget a little boy whose absence felt louder than words.

Codi’s case remains a painful reminder of how quickly innocence can disappear — and how vital it is to protect the most vulnerable. 👶
