HAMPTON, Va. — We’re now learning more about evidence presented in the case against Cory Bigsby, the man convicted last week of killing his 4-year-old son, Codi.
On Tuesday, March 12, a jury found Cory Bigsby guilty of second-degree murder and concealment of a body in connection to Codi’s death — over two years after Bigsby reported Codi missing on Jan. 31, 2022.

Body camera footage
The body camera footage, which prosecutors played for jurors during the trial, shows Hampton police searching Cory Bigsby's home the day his son was reported missing on Jan. 31, 2022.
In the footage, Bigsby leads a police officer upstairs where he says he last saw Codi. He says he went to get his coat after getting dressed for the morning and noticed his son wasn't in his room.

Another video shows an alleged confession Bigsby made on Aug. 3, 2022. The body camera was worn by Lt. Evans at the Hampton Roads Regional Jail and shows Bigsby writing on blank sheets of paper for more than 15 minutes.
In the video, Evans asks what Bigsby wrote.
Bigsby says he wrote down a confession, and added that he is "tired of this crap going on in [his] head."
When the lieutenant asks what is going on in his head, Bigsby responds, "I'm hearing voices."
