Feeling contractions at 38 weeks pregnant, Rebecca goes to the hospital on November 2, even though her due date is not until November 18.
An exam reveals she is not in labor, and Rebecca goes to pick up her biological mother to run errands. Rebecca has $2,000 cash she receives as an inheritance from family in preparation for her baby.
Rebecca Park’s fiancé, Richard Lee Falor, is trying to get in touch with Rebecca, but she is not answering or replying to text messages.
Knowing Rebecca has been shopping with her biological mother, Falor calls Cortney Bartholomew, who says Rebecca got into a black-colored sedan with tinted windows just before midnight and left.
Falor reports Rebecca missing with the Wexford County Sheriff’s office. Searches organized for the 22-year-old mom-to-be, who is 38 weeks pregnant, are done with a sense of urgency.
Michigan State Police find Rebecca’s phone alongside the road near her mother’s house.
On a trail directly behind the home of Rebecca’s mother, Cortney Bartholomew, a volunteer finds the body of Rebecca Park.
Investigators are not releasing information about the condition of the body or if a newborn baby has been found.
