Over the last two years, a memorial on the fence behind the Hampton Soccer Park grew as the community continued to search for Codi who went missing on Jan. 31, 2022.
“This was our place to come to pray for Codi, for his safe return,” Strickland said. “To bear gifts to him, to decorate the fence for Christmas, to just let people that ride by know the baby is still missing.”
News 3 Strickland helped maintain the site and said she was brought to tears in January when she was told everything on the fence needed to come down.
The City of Hampton released a statement saying it normally does not allow signs at city parks but made an exception because of the strong community response.
