Cody Henry Turner was 24 when he disappeared from Yakima, Washington, on the evening of July 26, 2015. He returned to the home he shared with his father and paternal grandmother about 9:00 p.m., showered, changed clothes, ate, grabbed cigarettes, and told family he would see them the next day — his last confirmed contact. He had his cell phone; two days later calls to it began going straight to voicemail.

Cody, a father to a young daughter and known as Cooter, rarely stayed away overnight. At the time he went missing he was likely wearing a black Metallica t-shirt, a green jacket, jeans and gray Nike or Adidas sneakers. Distinguishing features included pierced ears and tongue (though he hadn’t been wearing jewelry), scars on his abdomen and left wrist, and tattoos: Natilie with flames on his right bicep, three skulls with swords on his left bicep, and a tribal stamp on his upper left inside arm.

The family believes foul play may be involved. Investigators have noted possible connections and rumors tying Cody’s disappearance to another Yakima-area missing person, Chad Stotz-Gomez, who was thought to have known him, but police have not found conclusive evidence linking the cases. The Yakima Police Department continues to investigate. If anyone knew Cody’s movements on or after July 26, 2015, or has information connecting these cases, please come forward.
