Her Mother Lured Her Home With Ice Cream — Then Cut The BABY From Her Body!-WEEK IN REVIEW

Rebecca Park was twenty-two years old and thirty-eight weeks pregnant when she disappeared from rural Michigan on November third, 2025. Three weeks later, her body was discovered in Manistee National Forest. Her abdomen had been cut open. Her baby was gone.

Now her biological mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and stepfather Bradly Bartholomew face eight felony charges each, including first-degree murder and torture. But the allegations in this case extend into territory almost too disturbing to process.

According to the eighteen-page probable cause affidavit, Cortney had been having an affair with her own daughter's fiancé, Richard Falor, the man who fathered Rebecca's unborn child. Rebecca's sister Kimberly also allegedly told investigators she was in a relationship with Falor. Prosecutors say the murder was premeditated. Court documents reveal Cortney researched the killing in advance and texted family members claiming she had given birth to a baby that did not exist days before Rebecca vanished.

Rebecca was allegedly lured to her mother's home with the promise of laundry soap and ice cream. She was taken into the woods and stabbed thirteen times. According to investigators, Cortney admitted she removed the baby while Rebecca was still conscious as Bradly held a knife to her throat. The baby's remains were reportedly placed in a lunch cooler and discarded in a residential trash bin. They have not been recovered.

Both defendants are now pointing fingers at each other while simultaneously admitting they were present during the killing. Cortney allegedly told investigators that Bradly, a registered sex offender with multiple convictions, was the biological father of the unborn child.

Rebecca's adoptive mother told reporters she spent eighteen years hiding her children from Cortney because she knew she was dangerous. Rebecca leaves behind two sons, ages two and three. Probable cause hearings have been postponed until January. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
