Cody Scott Matney was 24 when he disappeared from Bristol, Tennessee, in the spring of 2002. He was last seen the evening of April 28 at Confetti’s Sports Bar on West State Street wearing a navy blue long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans and a blue University of Florida Gators hat. Witnesses saw him use a payphone inside the bar, walk out to his 1991 Ford Ranger, and then talk with an unidentified person in another truck in the parking lot.

Five days later his Ford Ranger was found abandoned in that parking lot with his checkbook on the dashboard. Investigators reported no signs of a struggle; his bank account showed no activity and calls from his calling card led nowhere. For more than two decades the case remained unsolved and his family continued to seek answers.

New information in 2024 prompted a renewed investigation involving the Bristol Police, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Virginia State Police. An arrest was reported in March 2025, but Cody’s remains have not been found. Does anyone who was in Bristol that night or who remembers seeing that truck in 2002 have information that could help bring clarity to what happened to Cody?
