Memorializing Codi Bigsby.

That was the goal of friends and family gathering at Fort Monroe Sunday.


Not only did Sunday's event celebrate Codi's birthday, but it also praised the implementation of the CODI Alert which Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed in Spring 2024.
 

Codi Bigsby case: How the missing case unfolded, 3 years later​

Friday marks three years since 4-year-old Codi Bigsby was reported missing by his father in Hampton in a case that captured the attention of Hampton Roads.

Codi's body has never been found.


The case isn't over: Bigsby faces 30 more child abuse charges with a trial set to begin Tuesday. He could receive another 162 years on those charges.
 

Prosecutors won't pursue Bigsby abuse charges following murder conviction — for now: Docs​

Prosecutors in Hampton are asking the commonwealth to "noelle prosque" child abuse and neglect charges against Cory Bigsby more than a year after he was convicted of murdering his son Codi.

This is all according to a motion filed by the commonwealth that Bigsby's attorney, Amina Matheny-Willard sent to WTKR News 3.

Last March, a jury found him guilty of killing his son, Codi Bigsby, in 2021 or 2022. He is currently serving a 45-year sentence for second-degree murder and concealment of a body.

Bigsby had been set to go to trial in July on charges of child abuse and neglect that were unrelated to Codi's disappearance.

He is facing 24 counts of gross, wanton, reckless care for a child (felony), four counts of child abuse and neglect leading to serious injury (felony), and two counts of failure to seek medical attention for an injured/battered child (misdemeanor).

But, according to the commonwealth's motion, one of the primary witnesses in the case is one of Cory Bigsby's other children, who was 4 and 5 years old at the time of the alleged offense.

The motion asks Hampton Circuit Court to "noelle prosque" the charges, from the Latin "not wish to prosecute," but they could bring the charges up again at a later date.

Now 8 years old, the child is "undergoing intensive counseling and therapy as a result of the defendant's actions that led to these charges," the motion reads.

It also says the child is a sibling of Codi.

"Due to his age and serious nature of these charges, the commonwealth would like the opportunity for [the child] to continue his counseling and therapy before subjecting him to another jury trial to better protect his mental and emotional well-being," the motion reads.
