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.

Virginia appeals court upholds Cory Bigsby murder conviction​

The Virginia Court of Appeals has upheld the murder conviction of Cory Bigsby, affirming a 45-year prison sentence for the killing of his 4-year-old son, Codi Bigsby, whose disappearance in Hampton in 2022 sparked a multi-state search.

In a published opinion issued December 30, the court ruled there was sufficient evidence for a jury to convict Bigsby of second-degree murder and concealment of a dead body, even though Codi’s remains have never been found. Judges also rejected Bigsby’s claims that prosecutors improperly struck Black jurors and that the trial court wrongly allowed several jurors to serve.


With the appeals court ruling, Bigsby’s convictions for killing and concealing the death of Codi Bigsby remain intact, and his 45-year sentence stands. As of trial, Codi’s body had still not been recovered.

Thank God. POS. 45 is not enough as it is. For what he likely did. And he won't give up the poor child's body.

Child skeletal remains found in Georgia not believed to be Codi Bigsby, Hampton Police say

Child skeletal remains found in Rockdale County Georgia are not believed to belong to Codi Bigsby, the 4-year-old Hampton boy whose father was convicted of killing him in 2024.

Child skeletal remains found in Georgia not believed to be Codi Bigsby, Hampton Police say​

You may have seen rumors circulating on social media that the skeletal remains of a child discovered last fall in Rockdale County, Georgia look similar to that of Codi Bigsby, the 4-year-old Hampton boy killed by his father in 2021 or 2022.

WTKR News 3 reached out to authorities in Georgia and Hampton police to investigate the claims.

Hampton Police told us that "at this time, there is no confirmed connection between that investigation and Codi Bigsby."

The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office sent News 3 the following statement:

"The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office is aware of the case involving Codi Bigsby. We are communicating with Hampton PD to determine if there is a connection. Beyond that, we are unable to release any other information due to this being an ongoing and active investigation."

That headline is kind of wrong, the statement by Rockdale doesn't say at all that it's not Codi. I didn't read the link but would think their statement says otherwise, they don't seem to know yet, not sure why.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

ITA that he did NOT say it wasn't Codi, he said they didn't know and were investigating.
Their age estimate is a bit older than Codi though.
