February 27 2024- Cody Stepp, missing since 1997, is believed to be dead, according to information revealed to his mother, Robin Stepp, by a private investigator. Cody disappeared while playing in a neighbor’s backyard, and his aunt, who had custody, reported him missing. Robin, who was in prison at the time, held onto hope for years but now believes her son is deceased. With declining health and receiving hospice care, Robin is desperate for closure before her death. Retired Detective Jim McCoskey, who worked on the case, also thinks Cody is dead and suspects family members may be connected to his disappearance. Both the aunt and grandmother, in whose care Cody was, have since passed away. The case remains unsolved, haunting the neighborhood on Columbus’ south side. Police have not provided an update, and anyone with information is urged to contact the CPD Missing Persons Unit.
