I came across this missing child by accident and was moved to post.
Richard Lee Haynes- nickname Cody -is an 11 year old little boy who is missing under suspicious circumstances from his father’s home in Kittitas, Washington on September 12th, this year.
It was first suspected that Richard might have run away, but authorities aren’t so sure now……
"At this point our whole area has been thoroughly searched," said Dunnagan. "We are comfortable he is not within the general area. We have no idea where he is. We have exhausted our leads. We are committed to finding this child. We are in it to find him."
One week after the disappearance of Cody, law enforcement authorities and CPS representatives removed his four sisters from their home. The girls were placed in foster homes. A court order had been issued alleging abuse, neglect and lack of supervision. Police wanted to speak to each child, individually, regarding their brother's disappearance.”

Please take a GOOD LOOK at his photo - have you seen him recently? Do you live in the Kittitas area or maybe in Florida when Richards mother lives? 11 years old is too young to run away and be able to fend for yourself for any amount of time……………..
Weirdly, I think he bears a passing resemblance to missing Australian child Daniel Morcombe.

I gotta wonder about the mum-she's in an "undisclosed" location in FL? What does that mean? Is she hiding from an abusive man? Or is this a story to explain her disappearance? I wonder if she's come out of the woodwork to help hunt for her son...
Odd story.
Praying for Cody.

Thats what I thought!!! Very weird that theres no info about this case anywhere, but Codys not listed as a family abduction either.
He is a very young child who seems to have vanished off the face of the earth- we all know thats not possible, but WHERE IS HE??

Theres a reason the Mother didn't have custody *but* the Father was apparently abusive(that many CPS calls? And one from the school principal? Something was up and just because they were dismissed means nothing) so it seems a bad situation from the beginning.
I hope the siblings will give more info and I wish this case had more attention!
Far more males go missing than females but they just dont get coverage!

The "number" of CPS calls means nothing here in Washington state...if anyone with kids irks someone else, people call CPS...so don't use that to draw conclusions...use other info, it's way more reliable.

I think a number of CPS calls means something no matter what state you live in and while not proof of abuse...it certainly is an area of great concern especially in a case where a child is missing from the home. Praying for this boy and his loved ones....

Cody is still missing. There have been no reports of sightings anywhere. Thank you all for your concern. A little background info... Cody and his "step mother" (his father's live in pardner) had a disagreement and he was sent to his room until his father got home. His family hasn't seen him since. It gets a little complicated here but it wasn't realized until the next afternoon that he was missing. He arranged his bedding to look like he was in bed. He would often pretend to be asleep and cover his head if he didn't want to bo bothered.
Yes, there had been CPS visits. The one involving the school was when one of Cody's sister's was bitten by a family puppy. CPS ruled the report as "unfounded". The puppy was given away. Washington and Oregon CPS workers conduct business as tho they were using the Gestapo operations manual so don't put to much into thier visits.
Because they did not know where Cody was or why he left, they took his four sisters and have not allowed us to see them. A judge ordered them to allow the father to visit them on week-ends. They have been interviewed and do not appear to know any thing about where thier brother is.
The mother and father have been divorced for some time and she had no reason to fear him and was not hidding from him. Actually, it turned out that she was in Colarado instead of Florida. The police have determined that she was at her mother's in Colarado the day Cody disappered and that he is not with her. This is not a family custody event. Cody has just diappeared and is not with any family members. The police and the family are still looking. Thanks again for your concern.

Its hard to believe this kid is still missing. I live in the same county and their really hasnt been much news coverage. The hunting seasons are pretty much over so the chance of a hunter stumbling onto something is getting kind of remote. Unfortunately the county is not heavily populated and the hills are forested. Recently a jet crashed over here and after a week of looking for a 40 foot jet authorities gave up. Soon the hills will be covered with snow and unless a snowmobiler finds something it might be a while until something turns up.

Thanks for posting this David. Cody is such a cute little boy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and you family. Please try and keep us up to date with any developments as best you can- and let us know if we can do anything.
This set my hinky meter off, much like the JonBenet Ramsey and Laci Peterson cases did. Boy argues with dad, dad leaves in the middle of the night and drives hundreds of miles "looking for car parts" until early morning hours, and reports boy missing just hours after returning home. :(

This really angers me!!!!
I pray to God that Cody just ran away from an abusinve relationship, and some grandmotherly woman is taking good care of him. But, I DON'T think so. Someone should forcibly make this maggot talk! AND, the ditzy scum girlfriend, too! At the very LEAST charge him with neglect and a couple of other who cares what charges, and throw his butt in the jail--general population, of course. HE, AND HIS girlfriend are PIGS, and need to be locked up like the filthy animals they are!!!
So is the lawyer who would take this one on!
My heart aches for the sadness this child has had to endure from both of his DNA donors.
I hope the FOUR? daughters are in a safe place now, as well. Prayers for the children!
Yeah, right. Car parts at 2:30 am.

WasBlind, I'm praying for this child.
Kittitas is in Eastern Washington. Eastern Washington is desert. You can drive for miles and miles in between towns. Just brown hills. Kittitas is not a large town and not a large county. You wouldn't have to go far to lose someone, but, if you did, you wouldn't necessarily be noticed. Vast areas to search. I'd be interested to know if any SAR dogs got involved.

this whole story really sounds to me like the boys father and stepmom are involved in his disappearence, it is really weird for anyone to get up and go out at 230am to look for car parts. I wonder if the police got to talk to the girls after they were taken from the home? sounds strange that they would ask them not to talk to the girls too, this man and woman are certainly hiding something, after all if you have not done any wrong doing than you don't need a lawyer present. if you go looking for lawyers right off the bat then they are feeling guilty about what they did and having a lawyer is like having a coach to help you get thru this without looking suspicious. I sure hope they finally put all this together and finally find out that the ones the little boy trusted the most was the ones that caused him some harm. those little girls might know a whole lot about the way he was treated that day and even days and months leading up to sept 12.

I just read about this and I am so saddened that there has been so little media attention to this story. This man goes looking for car parts for 13 1/2 hours? Yikes! And obviously the girlfriend, who is a former CPS worker that was fired and denied unemployment, has not told anyone when he went missing! This is so horrendous and I can not believe that these people have not been arrested. And the MOTHER was in jail for child abuse? These poor children. :furious:
Just found this thread while googling for anymore information on this case. I'm curious to know if Cody's Grandpa posting on this thread is his maternal or paternal grandpa.
I hate to even think it but I have a feeling this is going to be a case I follow, kinda like JBR.

Nothing new on Cody's whereabouts. Here is a link to a recent news article in the local paper that tells the story fairly well: http://www.kvnews.com/articles/2004/12/03/news/news03.txt
Thank you all for your interest. The news hasn't said much about it but the father did cooperate completely with the police at first. He even went with them as they searched for Cody. It wasn't until he felt he was being accused of something that he withdrew. Also, the lawyer was first retained to help get the girls back from CPS.

Thank you for link. I am so sorry about your grandson. Cody looks like a sweet boy. I have had him posted on my forum since mid-September, hoping he would be found by now.
We all that the media can spin things a certain way, which is not always the truth. The main thing here is to find Cody.

KITTITAS, Wash. -- Police on Monday executed a search warrant at the home where an 11-year-old boy was living when he disappeared last Sept. 12.
Police said they were looking for any evidence that Cody Haynes might have been assaulted inside the home the night before he disappeared, KNDO-TV of Yakima reported.
"Apparently, he was subjected to some kind of physical discipline, which could very well border on an assault of a child or child abuse," said Chief Steve Dunnagan of the Kittitas Police Department.
Dunnagan said police got the warrant because of statements made by the boy's father, Richard Haynes.

**The police chief speaking by phone on Greta said it was not the father or girlfriend who made the statement...evidently it was someone very close to the family.
Prayers for this little boy.

I have been following the story as I am from the same area. There are good articles in the Ellensburg Daily Record and there is another in the Spokeman Review (Spokane). If you want to read the whole article in the Spokeman Review you have to pay $1.95.
I have been very suspecious of the whole story that the father and "girlfriend" have reported. First of all, who goes out at 2:30 am to find car parts. And then the father supposedly got lost, he was supposed to be going south to the Tri-Cities but ended up near Spokane (east of here). Then before he left he told the girlfriend not to bother the boy because he was in trouble. Apparently in the 18 hours between when he was sent to his room and when he was next checked on, nobody saw or heard from him. I don't know about Cody but in 18 hours I would need to go to the bathroom.
The "parents" will not cooperate with authorities and when interviewed by a Yakima tv station, they would not allow their faces to be shown. The father said that Cody ran away. At first they were looking for his mother in Florida, when in actuality she was in Colorado and had had no contact with Cody for years. If he had ran away, wouldn't somebody have seen him?
The jist of the Spokesman Review article was that there was evidence of a severe beating and that one of his sisters was the one who told police. The girls have since been placed in foster care. This was not the first time the family had contact with Child Protective Service (CPS). The kids were taken out of public school to be home schooled.
It is a sad story, with, I have a feeling, a sad ending.

As of today Cody Haynes is still missing. The most current info is that the Washington State Crime Scene Unit did a search of his father's house. The siblings have been removed from the home into Child Protection Service. According to an article in the Spokesman Review (Spokane, WA paper) when one of his sister's was interviewed she apparently implicated that something happened to Cody. I did put an update in his section for more info.

It seems really strange to me that this little boy went missing at the same time his dad went hunting for car parts at 2:30 a.m. I have never heard of any place being open at that time of the night. I hate to think the worst but this boy has never been found....never been a trace of him anywhere. I just wonder if things didn't get out of hand between dad and Cody and Cody ended up dead. His body could be buried miles and miles and miles away from home. No one really knows where dad went in the middle of the night. The whole story is strange to me. I wonder if dad and his girlfriend ever took a lie detector test...probably not. Something is fishy here.

'Cody is not forgotten here'
Kittitas boy disappeared one year ago today
Posted: Sept. 12, 2005
By ANDREA PARIS
KITTITAS -- It's been a year since 11-year-old Kittitas boy Cody Haynes disappeared under questionable circumstances. What remains is a haunting picture of a smiling boy whose bright eyes and grin peer at passers-by from a simple 8 1/2-by-11 piece of paper announcing he is missing and endangered. That and a lot of unanswered questions.
Sept. 12, 2004
Richard Cody Haynes always preferred to be called by his nickname, Cody. He lived with his biological father Richard Haynes, his father's new wife, Marla Harding-Haynes as well as his four sisters inside a run-down two-story building in the heart of Kittitas's downtown.
Harding-Haynes once described Cody as a deceitful child who needed limitations and a strong sense of discipline. Cody's grandmother, Audrey Haynes, said earlier Cody was a "normal, rambunctious little boy." Others have said Cody was a caring, playful and artistic child.
On Sept. 11, 2004, Cody had been sent to his room for disciplinary reasons. Harding-Haynes reported earlier she was told by Richard Haynes to have no contact with the boy as Haynes himself said he would speak to his son when he returned home later on Sept. 12.
Richard Haynes told police he left his home in the early morning hours of Sept. 12. Haynes said his route took him first to the Lower Valley to look for car parts and then on to Sprague west of Spokane where he encountered car problems. Haynes reported he did not get home until the late afternoon of Sept. 12.
Missing
Nearly 17 hours after the boy was sent to his room, Cody's father reported his son missing to authorities. Haynes told police Cody was being disciplined and was made to stay in his room without meals or contact from the rest of the family during that day. Haynes and Harding-Haynes reported Cody had arranged his stuffed animals under his covers to make it look as though he were in bed, took a bag of clothes, and managed to slip away unnoticed.
Officers reported finding a bag of clothing inside a shed on the Haynes' property along with the boy's bicycle.
Officials learned much later Cody and Harding-Haynes had a heated argument on Sept. 11 in which the boy was made to stay at the kitchen table for nearly four hours after reportedly refusing to do dishes and put leftovers away. Cody was told to go to his bedroom around midnight.
That was the last time anyone has seen Cody.
Alone
The Haynes family was insular by choice.
Cody and his sisters had been removed from the public school system and were being home schooled by Harding-Haynes. The children weren't often in the company of those from outside the family unit, and when they were, oddities were noticed.
School friends reported the children were made to stand outside for extended periods of time during the winter without shoes or a coat. In 2002, an Ellensburg elementary school principal reported he believed the children were suffering from emotional and physical abuse and neglect at the hands of their father and Harding-Haynes. None of the allegations were proven, and the children remained inside the home until Cody's disappearance last year when officials removed the four Haynes girls from the home on Sept. 17, and placed them into foster care.
Kittitas Police Department Chief Steve Dunnagan said the Haynes girls have since been found dependent and currently are wards of the state.
The case
Dunnagan and Kittitas County Sheriff's Office detective Jerry Shuart have spent countless hours working the Cody case, a case Dunnagan himself admits haunts him.
"It's been a year," he said sitting at his desk surrounded by mounds of paperwork he has either collected or generated in the Cody case. "It's draining me. Every day it's 'what are we going to do to find Cody today?' It's constant. Eighty five percent of my time is spent on this case."
Dunnagan said the case has led he and Shuart to California, Oregon, Idaho and a farmer's field in Sprague. Cadaver dogs, aerial searches, national television exposure and good old-fashioned police work have yet to bring hoped for results though leads continue to trickle in.
Officials from the FBI, Washington State Patrol, Green River Task Force and national organizations like the Center for Missing and Exploited Children have lent a hand in the investigation. Sex offenders living in and outside Kittitas County have been interviewed and eliminated as suspects including the notorious Joseph Edward Duncan.
Nothing tangible has been found to lead police to a suspect though many items have been collected from the Haynes' home and automobiles and taken to the state's crime lab where it is being processed as evidence.
Dunnagan said he does have an active DNA sample and said Cody's biological mother, whose name has not been released, is very cooperative as is the rest of Cody's family. That is except father and stepmother who have refused to talk with police since last October and who do not make inquiries into the progress of the case, he said.
What's next
Dunnagan grimly said all that's left to do is "chase leads."
"There are things that just don't make sense," he said.
Meanwhile Dunnagan continues to try to prove Richard Haynes' story of his early morning jaunt around Central Washington the day his son disappeared. Dunnagan plans a trip to Naches and Toppenish where he will circulate pictures of Cody and Richard at car shows Richard Haynes reportedly attended last year at this time.
"I'm trying to retrace his steps to confirm his route," Dunnagan said. "The only person who says he was there is Richard. I can't confirm or deny Marla's story."
When the case will break is unknown, Dunnagan admits, though he is hopeful Cody is alive, somewhere.
"This case has had its ups and downs every time I get a tip," he said. "I keep wondering how many more I'll get until I find the truth or what happened. I'm still going. Cody is not forgotten here."

I don't know about anyone else but when the father doesn't even bother to keep in contact with LE to check on his son's case that tells it all as far as I'm concerned. Look at the parents of other missing children...it may be years since their child disappeared but they are still looking and hoping. I've never heard of any other parent, with the exception of this father, who just moves on and doesn't look back.
I think the dad killed Cody. Whether it was intentional or not I think he is guilty as heck. His story stinks. The stepmother didn't even check on that little boy for all of those hours? She didn't check because she knew he wasn't in his bedroom. I'm glad that the girls no longer live with their dad. It's a darn shame that Child Protective Services waited until after Cody disappeared to determine that the children weren't safe. Maybe Cody would have been saved if they had been on the ball.
I hope LE can find something so that they can make the arrests and put that father and stepmother away for good. No one should get away with murder.

It has been a very long year and still no word on Cody and no good leads.
The police have certainly not given up nor has the family. The FBI is very involved and still looking and interviewing people. Cody is not a pretty young woman so the press has kind of lost interest although there was some "one year" coverage.
As for his sisters... They are in good foster homes and doing quite well. They pray every day that their brother is safe. We see them often.
Cody not being seen after he was sent to bed is not exactly correct. A neighbor swore in court that she saw him coming down the steps on the day he disappeared while his father was gone. The police tend do not believe her but the judge did. Also the father and what is now the step-mother do talk to the police just not to the local police. They think the locals are trying to pin something on them instead of trying to kind the boy, although I do not think that. I think the chief is looking at that but also trying to find him.
Thank you all for your concern. Everyday we hope to get that good phone call.

Kittitas boy has been missing since September 2004
Posted: October 28, 2005
KITTITAS — It has been nearly 14 months since 12-year-old Cody Haynes disappeared without a trace from the town of Kittitas, though it seems to be only yesterday for Steve Dunnagan.
And even though the soft-spoken police chief has spent countless hours gathering scraps of information from across the nation, dealt with silent, hostile parents, battled public rumors and spent many sleepless nights trying to find the boy, Dunnagan decided to release the case to FBI agents late last week.
“He’ll always be there for me and I always will be an intrinsic part of the investigation,” he said. “But turning the case over to them was the best thing I could do for him.”
“We are pleased to have the case and intend to work it very aggressively,” FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs said. “We have been anxious to play a bigger role in this case and you can be sure it will be a priority for us.”
Background
Cody Haynes was reported missing Sept. 12, 2004 by his father, Richard, after the boy reportedly had been sent to his room the previous evening to be punished. The Haynes family sticks by its story; Cody was last seen that night. The boy managed to creep from a room he shared with his father inside a run-down apartment building, drop a bag of clothing inside a shed on the family’s property, and vanish into the night, never to be seen again.
But police learned through investigation that Cody had been in an altercation with Haynes’ live-in girlfriend, Marla Harding, on Sept. 11 after refusing to do dishes and put leftovers away. Police also learned Cody was made to sit at the kitchen table until midnight when he was reportedly sent to his room and told not to come out for any reason.
After Cody’s disappearance authorities unearthed a can of worms including allegations of child abuse and neglect at the hands of Harding and Haynes. Cody’s sisters were removed from the home mere days after his disappearance and since have been declared dependent by the state. Dunnagan said the children are now doing “very well” in their foster homes, and are leading the lives of happy, secure children.
Harding and Haynes have since married but according to Dunnagan, still refuse to speak with police about their missing son or make inquiries about the case.

he was made to sit at the table till MIDNIGHT because he didnt want to do dishes? poor kid...i never had to do everyone's dishes when I was 11 years old!
I think this is a case of child abuse gone wrong. At 2:30 is when the dad went to go dispose of the body...no doubt in some rural place where he won't be found for a good while.
I'm sure the sister had to have heard some commotion going on as well.

The parents said that Cody packed a bag or his backpack...threw it out a window and then hid it in an outer building the night that he disappeared. Now how would they know that he hid a bag in an outer building? They haven't seen him since he disappeared.
I still believe that the dad's story about going to find a car part in the middle of the night is total bull. I believe that he did something with that little boy and he might never be found. I wonder if the girls are still in state custody?
I hope so. At least they will be safe. Poor little Cody didn't have a chance.
The parents don't even contact the police to see how the case is going???
That speaks volumes.

Cody's story sounds so much like the Ricky Holland story. I just wonder if his body will ever be found. After a year its unlikely that Cody is still alive. Kids that young usually don't just strike out on their own and live on the streets.
I hope Cody is found and that whoever or whoevers did this to him are found out. I still don't buy the dad's story. I've never even heard of a junkyard or car parts store that is open in the middle of the night.

Cody may have left of his own accord, but after receiving the information from his sister investigators announced that he could be the victim of a homicide. They have no evidence that he was killed inside his home, but the fact that he has not been heard from in so long is indicative that he met with foul play. Due to his age and family background, Cody is considered to be in danger. His case was turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in October 2005; it remains unsolved.
Sounds to me like his father is the cause of his disappearance.

They've gotten away with it this long so they probably think they are home free. I wonder how good of a look they gave to the woman who was at that time the girlfriend of the dad. If my memory serves me I don't think that she was real nice to Cody. Maybe she did something to him and the dad is covering for her. Kind of like a few others we have heard of....Ricky Holland's family.

Just have a little compassion, admit what you did and get the punishment you so richly deserve instead of covering up and trying to get away with things. :behindbar

What I had heard was Cody had been disciplined and sent to his room; the family then left and when they arrived home, Cody was gone. There was also mention that Cody said he was going to live with his mother who lived in a south-eastern state.
Just a hunch but I do think Cody fell victim to Duncan ... that Duncan was traveling between his family's home in Washington state and his college in North Dakota when I suspect he stopped for a break and saw Cody perhaps hitch-hiking or at a bus station / bus stop.
Duncan's blog had one one entry for that entire month ... Sunday September 12th 2004. And he called it CHICKEN POT PIE ...
I'm home, Sunday Afternoon, nothing to do, everything being undone. Nobody to remind me. Life is about giving your choices over to God. Chicken pot pie in the oven. Why can others not see the unity of the universe. Why are they so blind in their dungeons.
September 12th 2004 was the day Cody went missing... Maybe just a coincidence ... maybe something more.

As much as it pains me to even think that Duncan has a hand in all of these tragic cases (one person being responsible for so much pain) I can see the connections.
I have always hoped that Cody got out of a horrible circumstance at home and has made a life for himself somewhere else and is living happily ever after - my head tells me that probably isn't the case. Duncan wants all this attention, why doesn't he come clean and tell everyone all about what he's done and get even more fifteen minutes of fame?

I had hoped Cody would be located but after reading Duncan's blogg, I think Cody fell victim to a perp if not to Duncan.
If Duncan tells all now unconditionally, he gets a death sentence ... but if he uses what he knows as a bargaining chip, he'll likely avoid the DP but get life w/o parole.
IMO, Duncan's lawyer is getting states to sign-off on life w/o parole ... and some may be reluctant to sign-off. If one state does not sign-off, then what Duncan knows may go with him to his grave (or maybe a few days before being executed he'll have a tell-all news conference).

From what I remember Cody had gotten trouble for something...not eating his dinner or doing the dishes or something. He was made to sit at the table for a long time...must have been dinner. Anyway, the dad's girlfriend finally told him to go to bed and not come out. Sometime in the night 3 or 4:00 am the dad went to a junkyard quite a ways away to get some car or truck parts.
Later in the morning the girlfriend went to the store and when she came back she looked in Cody's room and she said that he was gone.
I think it was the girlfriend or the dad. And yes, I believe that the dad covered for her if she was so upset with Cody that she ended up killing him.
Think about the Hollands. She killed Ricky but the dad helped bury him and then they both lied and whined about LE searching the house, etc. It all came out when the wife threw the hair dryer at the husband in the shower.
Also like Shelley and what's his name Jackson who said that his little girl got upset about a cookie and ran away. You can bet one of them killed that little girl and the other one was covering.

I've been looking at all the old news paper reports about Cody and just read one where one of Cody's sisters said she saw Cody being beaten severely by the girl friend that evening so it looks like the report she made about Cody's 'punishment' was having him sit in the kitchen until midnight is horse manure. She killed him and his dad disposed of his body IMO:sick: . There are some very interesting blogs and articles about Cody out there. some of the links are below. How so many people can just let kids slip through the cracks and then pay the untimate price becasue no one cares. Makes me so sad.

It's beyond me. I belive a mom and her kids or a dad and his kids come as a package. If you can't accept the whole package then hit the door. Abuse my kids and you had better run and run fast and never come back. I raised 4 by myself and if any guy had ever mistreated them I would have had his head.
Here is a story for you.....
I knew a guy who married a girl from Japan. They had three cute little boys. Later on she decided she wanted to go back to Japan and she didn't want the boys. He kept them and was a good dad....I thought.
A couple years later he meets a girl with two little girls. Nice little family combined I thought. Not so, the girl didn't want to raise his three little boys.
So what does he do....he adopts them out to a Navy General on a nearby Navy base and proceeds to raise her two little girls :furious: The boys probably have a good life with their new family but they knew their dad! I wonder what those little guys thought? How that guy can stand to look at himself in a mirror every morning is beyond me. All for a woman :furious:

It really is amazing the amount of 'parents'who put their kids to one side in order to keep a spouse.I mean not necessarily on the scale of murder but just little things.
I work in a school with young children and some of them cant keep up with the amount of men travelling thru their home. I mean if I met a man I would like to make sure I had at least tried to get a good overall view of him and his general beliefs beofre I even tried to intriduce him to my kids but this one little lad in my class said to me just before the summer holidays, 'mum had a new man in her bed when i went into her room this morning' and that was that. I may be petty but how can that be ok? To not even have met a man and then to have him turn up in mums bed all of a sudden is not right.

It's sad how many uncles and daddy's these little kids have while they are growing up. I think if mom and her man want to sleep together the man should pay for the babysitter and they should go to his home for a few hours. That way the adults can do their thing and the kids are left out of it. If all it is is sex it really needs to be kept away from the kids.
I think it is sad the way that people don't take the time to get to know each other before they jump in bed together. When they start having sex right away the woman's emotions get involved and she may miss some red flags she would have seen if they had just been dating but not sleeping together. Once those emotions are involved we can make every excuse in the world for those traits that we don't like in that person.

I hope that Cody's dad is in fear every minute just waiting for a knock on his door. I've never heard of anyone who goes looking for car parts in the middle of the night and drives 250 miles to do it. That is just so much B.S.

Just like Ricky Holland's mom and dad. He knew what had happened to Ricky and covered for that wife of his. I think both of these woman should be put away for ever. They are both full of evil...it makes me sick to think that they could treat those little boys like they have and then be able to live with it. The men are so darn whipped that they don't have a back bone left I guess. Neither would do anything to protect those little guys. It is just pitiful. They deserve to be put away for life too.

From the article:
It's not clear how long they were there. Tests may reveal the age and sex of the child.
Yakima county coroner Maury Rice says the fastest way to find out is through dental records.
D.N.A. testing could take a long time.
"You might even have to go from our state crime lab to Texas. Texas as this time isn't charging for it but we gotta stand in line, and I've been waiting for about a year now," says Rice.

The article is kind of confusing. At the end of it it says that the bones have been sent to Texas.
Maury Rice says that she has been waiting for about a year now....but it hasn't been that long since the bones were found has it? Doesn't seem that long ago anyway. Seems like a few months though.
I just hope that once the bones are identified that the parents are arrested.
Another thing that is confusing in the article is the mother...Lisa. Is that Cody's bio mother? She says that she had a closer relationship with Cody then she had with her daughters or something to that affect. She wasn't raising Cody though. He lived with his father. I hope that isn't that girlfriend turned wife that is talking. I can't remember her name but it doesn't seem like it was Lisa. Anyone know?
I guess we just have to keep hanging in there and hope and pray that we get an answer soon and that little Cody can be laid to rest. Bless his little heart. I want to see his dad and stepmother with handcuffs on in their jail suits.

Is there anyone posting from Texas who might know a bit more about the lab the remains were sent to? Is there anyone to contact anyone for an update? I don't know much about what can be made public etc.

From the article:
It's not clear how long they were there. Tests may reveal the age and sex of the child.
Yakima county coroner Maury Rice says the fastest way to find out is through dental records.
D.N.A. testing could take a long time.
"You might even have to go from our state crime lab to Texas. Texas as this time isn't charging for it but we gotta stand in line, and I've been waiting for about a year now," says Rice.

I found this in one of the articles:girlfriend, Marla Jaye Harding so I guess that is the biological mother who is talking.
It is a shame that it will take so long. I went back to the link I put up a few posts back and watched the video. It says basically the same things...that it will take a year to get DNA results back from the Texas lab. It also says there is a chance this is the missing 5 year old girl Sophia Juarez.

RITZVILLE -- DNA tests have failed to establish the identify of a child whose skull was found last summer in a field near Ritzville.
Adams County Sheriff Douglas Barger said Wednesday that technicians at a laboratory in Texas were unable to extract enough DNA from the bones. Now Barger says the FBI is offering to help.
A farmer found the skull in three pieces on August 12th in a field along U.S. Highway 395 just south of Ritzville. Despite an extensive search, no other bone fragments were found.
Authorities have said the skull might be from one of two missing children - 11-year-old Cody Haynes, who vanished from his family's home in Kittitas in September 2004, or five-year-old Sofia Juarez, who was last seen in Kennewick in February 2003.

In searching for information about the bones found in Ritzville, I found this:
Skull found in field near Ritzville is 600 to 770 years old
The Associated Press
RITZVILLE — Pieces of a small skull that were found in a field south of town along U.S. Highway 395 last year have been found to be 600 to 770 years old, Adams County sheriff Douglas Barger says.
The results of FBI carbon dating ruled out any link to two missing children in the region, Barger said Monday.
Three bone fragments that were found on Oct. 12, 2006, after a backfire from a car started a fire in a field south of Ritzville were quickly identified as pieces of the skull of a child, but DNA testing was inconclusive.
No other bones or human remains were found in an ensuing search.
Authorities hoped the remains might shed some light on the disappearance of 11-year-old Cody Haynes of Kittitas in September 2004 or 5-year-old Sofia Juarez of Kennewick in February 2003.
Richard Haynes, the missing boy's father, was under scrutiny from authorities in Kittitas County. He reportedly told investigators he took a meandering 250-mile drive — including the stretch of U.S. 395 where the bones were found — in search of auto parts the night his son vanished. He said he believed his son was a runaway.
The little girl disappeared after being given $1 by her mother to buy candy at a convenience store.
The carbon-14 testing made it clear that the skull pieces were from an American Indian, so steps are being taken under federal law to return the bone fragments to tribal authorities, Barger said.
The Washington state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation also has been contacted, Undersheriff John W. Hunt said.

I'll always believe that the dad is the guilty party. His story had so many holes in it. Heaven only knows what he did with the body if he really did drive that many miles. I wish guilt would get to him or something.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but it might be because she listed CODY's age instead of hers.

I will try to leave her a message and see what can be done.

Friends & Family Host Vigil For Missing Kittitas Boy
Kittitas County residents are holding a vigil tonight for a boy who went missing 8 years ago.
[snip]
Authorities say they have no leads.
More: http://www.kapptv.com/article/2012/sep/12/friends-family-host-vigil-missing-kittitas-boy/
Vigil for Cody Haynes planned
A vigil for missing Kittitas boy Richard “Cody” Haynes is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Kittitas Community Center, 200 N. Pierce St. in Kittitas.
[snip]
Police have said Cody’s father and stepmother have not cooperated with investigators from the beginning. According to earlier reports by the Daily Record, police learned an altercation took place between Marla Harding-Haynes (Cody’s stepmother) and Cody when he refused to do the dishes and put leftovers away.
The boy reportedly was made to sit at a table for nearly four hours before being told to go to his bedroom around midnight. Cody was to stay in his bedroom throughout the day of Sept. 12. No one reportedly checked on Cody until 5 p.m. on Sept. 12. That left about 17 hours in which no one had contact with Cody. The family said the boy disappeared during that time.
Cody would be 19 today.

missing from Kittitas Wa Cody Haynes. He went missing in 2004 at age 11. His father and step mother were the last people to see him. Cody was severely beaten the night he went missing for refusing to put away the leftovers. His siblings were in the home at the time and the oldest daughter witnessed him being beaten before she to was sent to her room. Cody's sisters could hear the cry's from the kitchen until they heard a loud thud and his sisters could no longer hear there cry's. The hallway to Cody's room that he shared with his father was blocked off and his sisters were told to stay away from his room. The girls still remember the regular beatings they had to endure and still have not gotten any help with there emotional problems. The oldest daughter now has multiple personalities and suffers from actual pain with she remembers or see's the house they lived in. Cody's father took a very suspicious trip the night Cody went missing. He Left at 2am on the night Cody went missing. He claimed he went to look for car parts for his truck but has now changed his story to "I went to cool off". He did not return to the home until 4pm the next evening and that is when Cody was checked on for the first time since he was sent to his room the night before. For 14 hours nobody checked on Cody at all. It was a 2 story home and his room was upstairs and there would be no way he could jump from that high up. Cps was called to the home several times by the school and other departments. The kids were made to stand outside in the cold with no shoes or coats as a form of punishment. After that the children were taken out of school to be home schooled by the stepmother. She actually worked at the kittitas Cps so somehow the cps reports were not looked at and the children were left in the home. It wasn't until after Cody went missing that the children were taken. They all suffer from the abuse they went through by their father and stepmother Richard Haynes and Marla Harding. We dont understand why Cody's case was allowed to slip through the cracks of the system that was supposed to protect him. Especially after Cps was already called by the school principle. The van that Richard Haynes left in that night was seen backed up to the house by a neighbor. A few days after that night Cody's father sold that van to a cab company and it just happened to catch fire within a week. A cab company would not buy a beat up 20 year old van to use as a cab so we believe the van was purposely caught on fire to get rid of evince. After Cody went missing the PD treated the case as a runaway until a witness came forward. The floor in the kitchen was investigated only to find out that Richard Haynes replaced the floor of there rental house without the landlords permission. When the chief of police started questioning Richard about where he went that night Rick filed a restraining order on the Chief for harassment. The restraining order was never put in place. The Police station was less that 2 blocks from the home where he went missing and the Chief of police made a statement that he knew of the girls in the Haynes home but never know there was a boy living there until Cody went missing. People who know of the family have said Cody was treated different because of the way he talked. Throughout the years we have had Vigils and fundraisers for Cody and Richard Haynes has never come to one. He hasn't put up one flier or made any effort to find Cody. Richard Haynes left the state of Colorado and took the children without permission of his mother. Richard stated that Cody's mother Lisa was serving time in prison which was not true. That information got out to reporters and it was posted everywhere that Cody's case was told. We recently had a national radio station interview Cody's Mom Lisa and the rumor was cleared up by a statement by the Chief of Police in Kittitas. We have sent out documents to the sites that are posting this lie allowing 72 hours for the content to be removed before we transfer each individual case to out attorney to be held accountable in court. These accusations are stalling our efforts to find Cody as we are constantly having to defend and explain that what they are reading is false.
Kittitas is a very small town and it was a 2 man police force. With little to no media coverage we need some kind of help to get this story out. We have tried to get Cody on America's Most Wanted but they need the cooperation of the Kittitas Police Department but they are for some reason unwilling. We are not sure why they are keeping very quiet about this case. We have become our own investigators and have given the department several leads but they never follow through. We need help from all sides and we are not sure if we can even trust the police department. Cody's father has till this day never been questioned and bothe he and the stepmother walk free even after all the reports of physical and sexual abuse against the children. We just dont know what else to do.
This is the interview by the radio station.

Cody apparently slipped out unnoticed during this time and arranged his stuffed animals on the bed to make it look like he was asleep. He took a black and green camouflage-patterned bag of clothing with him, but it was later found in a shed near his house. Investigators believe Cody may have hidden the bag there and planned to return for it later. His bicycle was also found in the shed.

SELAH, Wash.-- The return of the missing Cleveland women has given renewed hope to a Selah mom who's spent roughly the same amount of time searching for her son.

Here is a bit about Cody's story.
Richard “CODY” Haynes was only 11 years old when he vanished from his father’s home, on September 12, 2004. His father, Richard “RICK” Haynes and his girlfriend, Marla Jaye Harding, beat Cody for more than 6 hours. He was made to stand in a 5 gallon bucket, with his urine on his feet, as they continued to torture Cody unmercifully. Around 12:30 am, Cody’s older sister went into the kitchen and begged them to stop. She was then hit over the head, told to go to her room and mind her own business. She heard Cody getting hit a few more times, then heard a ‘thud’ on the floor. The beating had stopped. At this point is when Rick decided to go looking for car parts for a 1954 Kaiser. He left that house reportedly at 2:30 am. (mind you it’s a SUNDAY)
When Cody’s sisters awoke in the morning, they were told by Marla to not go near Cody’s room. Chairs had been placed in the hallway, preventing his sisters to check in on him. During the time that Rick was wondering around rural Washington, Marla had gone across the street from the apartment in Kittitas more than 5 times, ’to buy cigarettes’. Around 3 pm, she ’looked in’ Cody’s room, and noticed he wasn’t there. She called Rick to come home, then she called police, to report Cody missing, at 6pm.
With incriminating statements to law enforcement, such as, “I’m not loosing my freedom for anything”, by Marla, and Rick stating “I’m not talking without my attorney present, No way!” really makes one wonder what exactly would they loose their freedom over, and why would he need an attorney to find Cody?!
Here we are, more than 8 ½ years later, without Cody. We have more questions than answers.
Cody was just a young, rambunctious little boy, with the mind of a scientist. Always wondering what next he could figure out on his own. He made is own bubble gum, rock candy and crystals. A very bright mind, with an entire future of science in front of him. All taken away on that horrible night by 2 ’adults’ that were suppose to nurture his creativity.
Cody was last seen wearing his blue pajamas, with a design of planes or trucks on them.
Green eyes, brown hair, a birthmark on the inside of his thigh, and dimples to fall in love with.
Throughout this ordeal there has been reports by the media that his mother was in prison at the time of his disappearance. TOTALLY untrue. She never spent any time in prison and that was confirmed by the Chief of police in a radio interview. Blog talk radio has done interviews of Lisa (Cody's Mother).

Hi all. I am Cody's Cousin. He didnt slip out on his own. That is what his father and his live in girl friend says. .
Please visit his page. We will be in sprague WA, to search for Cody. We have gotten information leading to this location from the locals that knew Codys father and step mother. we have had to become our own investigators and this is the hardest thing our family has had to go through. We are on our own. Without the public we are at a stand still. The local police wont even cooperate with Americas Most wanted to get Cody on the show. We have no idea why. They along with CPS has failed Cody from the very beginning.

Here is a bit about Cody's story.
Richard “CODY” Haynes was only 11 years old when he vanished from his father’s home, on September 12, 2004. His father, Richard “RICK” Haynes and his girlfriend, Marla Jaye Harding, beat Cody for more than 6 hours. He was made to stand in a 5 gallon bucket, with his urine on his feet, as they continued to torture Cody unmercifully. Around 12:30 am, Cody’s older sister went into the kitchen and begged them to stop. She was then hit over the head, told to go to her room and mind her own business. She heard Cody getting hit a few more times, then heard a ‘thud’ on the floor. The beating had stopped. At this point is when Rick decided to go looking for car parts for a 1954 Kaiser. He left that house reportedly at 2:30 am. (mind you it’s a SUNDAY)
When Cody’s sisters awoke in the morning, they were told by Marla to not go near Cody’s room. Chairs had been placed in the hallway, preventing his sisters to check in on him. During the time that Rick was wondering around rural Washington, Marla had gone across the street from the apartment in Kittitas more than 5 times, ’to buy cigarettes’. Around 3 pm, she ’looked in’ Cody’s room, and noticed he wasn’t there. She called Rick to come home, then she called police, to report Cody missing, at 6pm.
With incriminating statements to law enforcement, such as, “I’m not loosing my freedom for anything”, by Marla, and Rick stating “I’m not talking without my attorney present, No way!” really makes one wonder what exactly would they loose their freedom over, and why would he need an attorney to find Cody?!
Here we are, more than 8 ½ years later, without Cody. We have more questions than answers.
Cody was just a young, rambunctious little boy, with the mind of a scientist. Always wondering what next he could figure out on his own. He made is own bubble gum, rock candy and crystals. A very bright mind, with an entire future of science in front of him. All taken away on that horrible night by 2 ’adults’ that were suppose to nurture his creativity.
Cody was last seen wearing his blue pajamas, with a design of planes or trucks on them.
Green eyes, brown hair, a birthmark on the inside of his thigh, and dimples to fall in love with.
Throughout this ordeal there has been reports by the media that his mother was in prison at the time of his disappearance. TOTALLY untrue. She never spent any time in prison and that was confirmed by the Chief of police in a radio interview. Blog talk radio has done interviews of Lisa (Cody's Mother). Any search engine will pop up those interviews.

It sounds like you could use a little help making folks aware of Codys case again.
Ya know...the mods here at WS are amazing,and Ill bet if you gave SheWhoMustNotBeNamed a holler,perhaps they could bump up this case...and get us talking about it again. Its been awhile,and maybe theres some new info out there.

Hi Aujum9.
I've heard a little bit about the search for Cody coming up from the Facebook page. Is a specific group putting it on, or just your family/friends organizing it? I wish you luck. If I could get away from work that day I'd be there, but unfortunately I can't. But I'll spread the word on Facebook and see what we can do here as well.
Has anyone contacted Texas Equusearch? They are an amazing search organization. However...Law Enforcement has to give their consent for Texas Equusearch to become involved. So that may be a hurdle.

We (Cody's family on his Moms side) are leading the search for Cody. We have reason to believe he is there. We have contacted Texas Equusearch and you are right about needing permission by local Police. unfortunately they are unwilling to cooperate. They wont even cooperate with Americas most wanted to get Cody on the show. Sad really. Sharing would be great. Thank you so much for any help.
Are Richard and Marla still a couple?
Best of luck with your search! I hope Cody can be brought home and your family finds peace.

Rick and Marla got married right after Cody went missing to avoid being questioned. As a couple they got "lawyer-ed up" (as the police chief put it) and have never been re-questioned again. The police had evidence that brought them back to the home Cody lived it, only to find the Rick and Marla had replaced the flooring in the kitchen without the consent of the landlord. I would have thought the police would have talked to them again. So many things were mishandled and overlooked that we are so frustrated. We are hoping that our search is almost over and we can bring Cody home to a proper burial and closure.

I have started a page on Facebook for all the missing children in Washington State. https://www.facebook.com/NationalMissingChildrensDayInWashingtonState Cody's cased made me want to help in any way I can. Sharing and posting for other parents and family is a great way to get there faces out at a very rapid pace. I also help create the flyers on some other pages I admin. If anyone needs or wants a poster made, I would be happy to take on that task. Here are a few I have recently done as well as the missing child posters on Washington State Missing Children Facebook page. Not sure if the pictures will show up but I will have them on the link above.
