Cody Lillich

Cody Lillich joined Arizona's Family Investigates in January 2022 and is the team's senior investigative producer. Before Arizona, Cody was an investigative producer for WVUE-TV in New Orleans where he worked alongside the station's chief investigative reporter Lee Zurik. During his time in New Orleans, Cody was part of an investigative team honored with multiple regional Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Awards. The team's 'Inspecting the Inspectors' investigation looked into the missteps by city inspectors before the 2019 deadly collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel. The reports exposed that three city inspectors signed off on building inspections, while GPS coordinates on their city vehicles show they were never at the site on the dates in question. The team's series of reports was honored with the 2021 National Edward R. Murrow Award for Large Market Television Investigative Reporting and nominated for a national Emmy award.

Cody is a Texas native and previously worked at stations in Dallas, Bryan/College Station and Tyler, Texas.
