During Cory’s last court appearance, he was determined mentally unfit to stand trial. He was sent to Eastern State Hospital for treatment and is due back in Hampton Circuit Court on Wednesday, June 14.
Codi’s disappearance in January 2021 sparked a community-wide search effort. The “Codi Fence,” a memorial honoring Codi in Hampton, near Buckroe Point Apartments, still continues to grow. New flowers and stuffed animals have been placed at the fence since the news of Cory’s indictment. Codi was just 4-years-old when he was first reported missing, but would be five today.
