S10 E1 - The Murder of Rebecca Kay "Becca" Park

In November 2025, 22-year-old Rebecca “Becca” Park — 38 weeks pregnant — vanished from Boon Township, Michigan. Days later, volunteer searchers found her body in the woods of the Manistee National Forest. Prosecutors allege that her biological mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and Cortney’s husband, Brad, lured her into a vehicle, forced her into the forest, and brutally murdered her — allegedly removing her unborn baby from her womb. This episode chronicles Becca’s life, the desperate community search, the gruesome discovery, and the early days of a legal case that has shaken Michigan. We speak her name, we honor her life, and we present the known facts with care and respect.
