22 Year Old Pregnant Woman Found Dead, Multiple Arrests Follow

Authorities confirmed on December 3 that remains recovered in Manistee National Forest on November 25 were those of 22 year old Rebecca Park. Park had been about 38 weeks pregnant when she disappeared on November 3. The subsequent autopsy determined the infant was not present at the time her body was recovered, intensifying the investigation into the baby s whereabouts.

In late November and early December investigators arrested several people connected to Park. Those arrested include Park s mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and the mother s partner, Bradly (Brad) Bartholomew. Park s sister, Kimberly Park, and Park s fiancé, Richard Falor, were also taken into custody. Prosecutors later filed charges that include first degree murder, torture, and related offenses against Cortney Bartholomew and Bradly Bartholomew according to local court filings. Other defendants face charges or are being questioned as the probe continues.

The Wexford County Sheriff s Office is leading local efforts in coordination with the Michigan State Police and the FBI. Officials emphasize the investigation remains active, and investigators are pursuing forensic testing, witness interviews, and search efforts for the missing infant. They have asked the public for patience while legal and forensic steps are completed.

For the community, the case raises pressing safety and information priorities. Verify sources before sharing social media information, and report any tips or sightings to the Wexford County Sheriff s Office or the Michigan State Police. Even small pieces of information can be critical in locating a missing child and in building a complete timeline of events. Residents should expect increased law enforcement activity and may be contacted as part of routine follow up.

This remains a developing investigation with significant legal proceedings pending. The confirmation of Park s identity and the autopsy findings provide grievous answers about her condition, but they also leave unanswered questions about the infant s fate. Continued cooperation between local agencies and the public will be essential as authorities seek to resolve those questions and move toward accountability.
