He then concealed, transported and altered the body “with malicious intent and to prevent detection of an unlawful act or to prevent the detection of death or the manner or cause of death."

Six months later, Bigsby reported Codi missing to police.

Around 9 a.m. on Jan. 31, 2022, Bigsby contacted Hampton Police and said he last saw his son around 2 a.m.

Hampton Police held a press conference at that time and Chief Mark Talbot said he hadn’t received completely reliable information and the “evidence that we have does not completely match the stories that we have received at this point.”
