On the evening of July 26, 2015, a 24-year-old man named Cody Henry Turner vanished from Yakima, Washington. He had spent most of the day out with his dog, Ariel, but returned to the home he shared with his father and paternal grandmother around 9:00 p.m. Inside, he took a shower, changed his clothes, had something to eat, and picked up some cigarettes. Before heading out the door again, he told his family that he would see them the next day. That was the last time anyone in his family ever saw or heard from him. Cody, who was a father to a young daughter, had his cell phone with him, but just two days after he was last seen, all calls to his phone went directly to voicemail. Cody's sudden disappearance was uncharacteristic. Although he had a history of methamphetamine use, he rarely stayed away from home overnight and had left his young daughter behind. At the time he went missing, he was likely wearing a black t-shirt with "Metallica" written in white letters, a green jacket, jeans, and gray Nike or Adidas sneakers. Cody had several distinct physical features, including pierced ears and a pierced tongue, though he hadn't worn jewelry in them for some time before his disappearance. He also had a scar on his abdomen and another on his left wrist. His body was adorned with several tattoos: the name "Natilie" with flames on his right bicep, three skulls with swords through them on his left bicep, and a tribal stamp on his upper left inside arm. Known by the nickname "Cooter," he typically kept his sandy-colored hair short and neatly trimmed and often had a mustache and a two-inch goatee. The family believes that Cody met with foul play, a sentiment that has shadowed the case since its inception. The investigation into his disappearance has been complex, marked by rumors and potential links to other local cases. Another young man, Chad Stotz-Gomez, also went missing from the Yakima area around the same time, and it is believed the two men knew each other. While there have been whispers and theories connecting their disappearances, law enforcement has not found concrete evidence to formally link the cases. The years have passed without any definitive answers, leaving a void for his loved ones. The Yakima Police Department continues to investigate, and Cody's case remains an unsolved and painful mystery for his family and community, who continue their search for answers.
