🚨 BREAKING: CCTV CAPTURES PREGNANT MOM’S FINAL MOMENTS: Rebecca Kay Park, 22, stumbles down snowy two-track road in Boon Township – then VANISHES forever 😱❄️🪦
Midnight. November 3. Freezing darkness. A remote barn security camera catches 22-year-old Rebecca – 38 weeks pregnant – getting out of a dark vehicle outside her mom’s house… She walks unsteadily down the isolated two-track road, phone in hand… Suddenly drops it. Keeps walking. Disappears into the woods. That’s the last anyone sees her alive.
Three weeks later, searchers find her bo-dy along that SAME road – baby bru-tally cut from her womb. Both de-ad. Now her own biological mom Cortney Bartholomew and stepdad Bradly are charged with premeditated mur-der, torture, and sta-bbing her as they removed the unborn child. Fiancé and sister already jailed for lying and tampering. Prosecutor calls it “evil personified” – they researched it, lured her home, and executed the plan in cold blood.
The footage is short, chilling, and spreading like wildfire… but cops want it gone. Why was she dropped off there? Who was driving? And where is the baby really buried? Watch the full CCTV clip everyone’s sharing before it gets scrubbed – thread below 👇
What started as a desperate search for a missing pregnant 22-year-old in rural northern Michigan has exploded into one of the state’s most gruesome homicide cases, with Rebecca Kay Park’s own biological mother and stepfather accused of luring her to their home, driving her to remote woods, stabbing her, and cutting her unborn baby from her womb in a premeditated act that killed both mother and child.
Rebecca Kay Park, a soft-spoken mother of two young boys known as “Becca” to friends, vanished on the night of November 3, 2025, after arranging a ride to her biological mother’s home on South 21½ Road in Boon Township, a sparsely populated area in Wexford County surrounded by the vast Manistee National Forest. She was 38 weeks pregnant and due to give birth any day.
Surveillance footage from a nearby barn captured the last known moments of her freedom: Around 11:30 p.m., a dark-colored vehicle pulls up. Rebecca, wearing a black coat, light blue jeans, and gray shoes, exits the passenger side carrying a black bag. She walks down the snowy two-track road, drops her cellphone (later recovered by investigators), and continues into the darkness before vanishing from view. No screams. No struggle on camera. Just eerie silence.
Her disappearance triggered an immediate manhunt. Rebecca’s adoptive mother, Stephanie Park – who raised her and her siblings since Rebecca was one year old – grew alarmed when she didn’t hear from her. By November 4, the Wexford County Sheriff’s Office issued a public alert, describing Rebecca as 5-foot-2, 140 pounds, and possibly endangered. Tips flooded in, but leads dried up fast. Her financial accounts showed no activity, and despite a $12,000 reward, weeks passed with no sign.
Community volunteers, family, and multiple agencies – including Michigan State Police, the FBI, and K9 units – scoured the forest. Drones buzzed overhead. Social media exploded with theories, vigils, and pleas. Rebecca’s fiancé, 43-year-old Richard Lee Falor, spoke tearfully to local media: “She’s an amazing person. She deserves better.” He insisted her disappearance was out of character.
Then, on November 25 – 21 days after she vanished – a citizen search party made the horrific discovery. Volunteer Amy Letterman spotted Rebecca’s body along the same two-track road near her mother’s home, partially concealed in the underbrush. Her father, searching nearby, was among those who confirmed the grim find. An autopsy the next day verified her identity but delivered a gut-wrenching twist: Rebecca was no longer pregnant. The baby had been removed, and both were dead from the brutal procedure.
Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey called it “evil personified.” On December 2, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges against Rebecca’s biological mother, Cortney Marie Bartholomew, 40, and stepfather, Bradly Alan Bartholomew, 47, both of Boon. The couple was arraigned in 84th District Court in Cadillac on a litany of felonies: premeditated homicide, felony murder, torture, conspiracy to commit torture, assault on a pregnant individual causing miscarriage or stillbirth, unlawful imprisonment, and removal of a dead body without consent. Bradly faces additional habitual offender enhancements.
According to prosecutors, the Bartholomews researched cesarean procedures online, crafted a plan, and lured Rebecca to their home under false pretenses. They allegedly forced her into a vehicle, drove her deeper into the Manistee National Forest, stabbed her multiple times, pinned her to the ground, and performed a crude surgical extraction of the fetus – all while Rebecca was alive and suffering. The baby died during or shortly after the act. They then dumped her body back near the two-track road and attempted to cover their tracks.
“This case involves a truly horrific homicide in which a young woman and her unborn child endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of the defendants,” Carey said in a statement. “The brutality and disregard for human life displayed here are deeply troubling.”
The Bartholomews appeared via video from jail, bonds denied. Dozens packed the courtroom, many wearing “Justice for Rebecca and Baby Park” shirts. Cars outside bore messages scrawled in window paint: “Say her name – Rebecca Kay Park.” Cortney’s public defender argued she was disabled and needed home confinement; the judge wasn’t swayed.
This wasn’t the first arrests in the case. On November 26, Rebecca’s younger sister, Kimberly Park, 21, and fiancé Richard Falor were charged with unrelated offenses: Kimberly for tampering with evidence, lying to police, and filing a false felony report; Falor for two counts of delivering methamphetamine. Detectives say Kimberly falsely claimed the Bartholomews struck Rebecca in the head, causing a seizure, then disposed of the body – a story meant to mislead investigators. Both posted reduced bonds and were released by December 3, but remain under scrutiny.
The investigation ramped up quickly after the body was found. Search warrants executed at the Bartholomews’ home on November 30 uncovered electronic devices with incriminating search history, knives, notebooks detailing the plan, and evidence of collusion. Witnesses reported seeing law enforcement digging for “suspected burial sites” on the property, hunting for the baby’s remains or other evidence. The FBI joined to assist with the newborn’s recovery, but as of press time, the infant has not been located.
Rebecca’s backstory adds layers of heartbreak. Adopted as a toddler by Stephanie Park along with her siblings, she had limited contact with her biological mother. Friends described her as a loving mom to her sons, ages 3 and 2, whom Stephanie now cares for full-time. She worked odd jobs, adored animals (once nursing a stray cat she named “Homeless”), and dreamed of a stable future with Falor and their baby. “She was the sweetest one in the family,” said friend Page Nolf.
The case has gripped northern Michigan and gone viral nationwide. TikTok sleuths dissected the barn CCTV frame-by-frame, speculating on the driver’s identity. Protests formed outside the Bartholomew home, with “Justice for Rebecca” spray-painted in snow. A candlelight vigil in Cadillac drew hundreds, purple balloons (Rebecca’s favorite color) floating skyward. A GoFundMe for funeral costs and her boys has topped $150,000.
Bradly Bartholomew’s estranged sister, Stacey Davis, told reporters the couple desperately wanted a baby but couldn’t conceive – a possible motive prosecutors haven’t confirmed. Both Bartholomews and Falor appear on Michigan’s sex offender registry for prior convictions, fueling online rumors, though unrelated to this case.
Wexford County Sheriff Trent Taylor urged calm: “We don’t believe the public is in danger.” But the tight-knit community of Boon (population under 700) is reeling. “This is a tragic time in our county,” Taylor said after the body was found.
As winter deepens and searches continue for the baby – possibly buried in the forest or on the property – questions linger. Why lure her that night? How did the plan unfold undetected? And will the full truth emerge in court?
Rebecca’s adoptive mom, Stephanie, summed it up at the vigil: “She was a beautiful soul. She deserved the world.” For now, the snowy two-track road in Boon Township stands as a silent witness to unspeakable betrayal – a mother’s love twisted into murder.
