Rebecca Park: Mom & Stepfather Accused in Pregnant Daughter’s Murder

Today we’re talking about the case of Rebecca Park, a 22-year-old Michigan woman who was 38 weeks pregnant when she disappeared after visiting her biological mother. Weeks later, Rebecca was found dead in the Manistee National Forest, and prosecutors accused her biological mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and stepfather, Bradly Bartholomew, of luring her home, attacking her, and cutting the baby from her body. In this video, I’m walking through the timeline, the changing stories, the affidavit details, and where the case stands now.

As always, everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. At the time of filming, both Cortney and Bradly had pleaded not guilty, the case was tied up in competency proceedings, and Kimberly Park’s separate case had been dismissed without prejudice. If there are major updates, I’ll continue following this case.
