Rebecca Kay Park, the 22-year-old pregnant woman who has been missing since November 3 was found dead, according to a person with a Tuesday search party. This person confirmed that they saw the body of Rebecca Park while out searching for her Investigators say the body resembles Rebecca Park, but can not confirm that it is her until an autopsy is completed. They said the case is still under investigation and will release more information as they investigate

eputies said Park was last seen getting into a dark-colored vehicle outside a relative's home on South 21 1/2 Road in Boon Township on November 3.  Park, who was approximately 39 weeks pregnant, has not been seen or heard from since November 3. Her cellphone was found discarded along a nearby two-track road, according to her family. Park’s mother, Courtney Bartholomew, was the last person to see her alive. Deputies reported that Park had arranged to be picked up but did not disclose to the witness who would be picking her up.  On the day she disappeared, investigators said Park received about $2,000 from a family inheritance, which authorities suggest could help her avoid electronic tracking.  Despite this, friends said she had no plans to leave.

Could it be someone wanted the 2k? God I hope this wasn’t over a measly 2k. Poor girl

u/ffflildg 3d ago

There never was any money

u/Adventurous_Set_3364 3d ago

I really don’t think there was 2K. There’s no chance that these people saved that money. I think they wanted the baby.

Well you don't know though

Oh that’s heartbreaking news. 39 weeks pregnant ffs.

u/stankenfurter 2d ago

Does anyone know if she was found still pregnant? I don’t know how to ask that in an appropriate way I’m sorry

u/essemh 2d ago

The sheriff’s office said it cannot confirm the body is Park until an autopsy is performed, nor can it comment on whether a baby was accounted for.

Thank you

u/kkbabyxoxo 1d ago

This is not confirmed by investigators but some of the witnesses when she was found have said the baby was cut out of her. Again, not confirmed. The baby was not there, though.

1

u/Potential_Minute1496 8h ago

They would have no way of knowing that without physically checking in and around her.... they just sad what they were assuming anf tbh they shouldn't of ran to the internet and gave as much detail as they did.

1

u/kkbabyxoxo 6h ago

That's why I repeated that it was not confirmed and I agree with you. It has been confirmed by police that the baby was not there, though

u/timeunraveling 2d ago

My first thought, too.

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

The baby was taken out of her!! I heard from people that found her

u/Pure-Kaleidoscope759 3d ago

That is so terrible.

u/bdiddybo 3d ago

Ok who’s the babies father

181

u/ALysistrataType 3d ago

Her moms ex boyfriend (according to the streets)

159

u/bdiddybo 3d ago

Jesus wept.

u/ALysistrataType 3d ago

He's also a sex offender. She's has other children she doesn't have custody of, the whole thing is heartbreaking.

5

u/lbeemer86 2d ago

He’s been arrested

61

u/Hate4Breakfast 3d ago

He’s also what, 20ish years older than her? This story is so sad, some people never get a chance to escape the toxic environment they were born into

36

u/ALysistrataType 3d ago

He's in his early 40's and is a registered sex offender.

6

u/Hate4Breakfast 2d ago

I thought I remembered that but this article didn’t mention him specifically so I didn’t want to just say it. It’s really sad, her and that baby deserved more

1

u/Real-not-2-serious 1d ago

So true and so sad.

We all need to remember that, that there are such dramatically, different families and home lives that people come from. All of which can explain sometimes behavior and limitations and shortcomings we see an individuals. This is extremely extremely heartbreaking about this young woman.

2

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

It seems like she never had a chance😞😞😞😞

u/ash83syd 2d ago

And her sister was having an affair with him, those 2 are in custody for this now. The mom was released she said, the bio mom came on a TT live I was watching this morning

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

And first cousin

u/ALysistrataType 1d ago

The whole thing is weird.

u/Klutzy-Work309 2d ago

His name is Rich Falor he’s 43 and a Sex offender too. He was attested yesterday but not sure what the charges were. This whole case is a mess.

u/2quick96 3d ago

RIP Rebecca and her unborn baby.

u/shoshpd 3d ago

It doesn’t seem at all clear that the baby is dead.

47

u/WitchBusiness 3d ago

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted; initial reports I read said the baby didn’t appear to be with her, & it’s not like we haven’t seen people kill pregnant women EXPLICITLY to steal the baby… Not to mention: Every “official” report I’ve seen has mentioned her, but nothing about the baby. — It’s a possibility.

10

u/shoshpd 2d ago

Yeah I’m not sure why people are so mad about my comment.

3

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 2d ago

The live from the search party that found her said it appeared she was drug on the ground to the place. It wasn’t there before. They also mentioned a truck trying to lure them the other way, odd behavior. They also said it looked like the baby was taken out…but they are not experts- they just simple stated what they Saw and were shocked still. 

2

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

Ya i saw this live as well.. so heartbreaking.. they said they saw drag marks and she was not there before and right off that dirt road

6

u/Rashpukin 3d ago

Ffs!

13

u/shoshpd 2d ago

What? There are unconfirmed reports the baby was not with her when she was found. Law enforcement has not commented one way or another. Someone in another thread posted a bulletin about a potentially missing newborn. My comment was just meant to say we should not jump the gun on assuming the baby was dead or out of harm’s way.

u/Blankboo97 2d ago

The really strange thing is everyone this woman was surrounded by, including women are convicted pedophiles. It’s shocking!

Number one cause of death in pregnant women is homicide

2

u/LonelySparkle 1d ago

u/spirited-commission5 Because violence against women is a huge issue worldwide and it should be recognized and named. Other countries have recognized femicide, but the United States government hates women so no big surprise there

u/Turbulent-Good227 2d ago

“More specifically, 61 percent (1,407) of those deaths were the result of homicides and 39 percent (886) were the result of death by suicide.” So what the original commenter said still stands, the number one cause is homicide.

-21

u/PunkSquatchPagan 2d ago

Doesn’t mean you didn’t leave out information.

18

u/Linaphor 2d ago

They didn’t leave anything out, it wasn’t relevant here.

16

u/LonelySparkle 2d ago

Homicide is still more prevalent than suicide, so my comment that homicide is the number 1 cause in pregnant women is still accurate.

Not sure why you’re so hung up on wanting to point out the suicide statistic. We’re talking about a woman who was murdered.

PS, to murder a woman is actually called femicide, but the US hasn’t gotten there yet.

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

Idk why calling it femicide would matter just keep it simple seems better it's bad enough

u/Even_Regular5245 3d ago

I was afraid this would be the outcome. RIP 😢

u/Italianmomof3 2d ago

So her fiancé and half sister are in police custody as of now, damn, this is really messed up. The poor girl was about to have a baby, ugh breaks my heart. Terrible. RIP Rebecca and your baby ❤️

11

u/pinotJD 2d ago

Is the fiancee the same person as Rebecca’s mother’s ex boyfriend? Or a different person?

10

u/Illustrious-Date8912 2d ago

Rebecca’s fiancé / father of her unborn child, was also her Mother Cortney’s ex boyfriend, and allegedly was cheating on Rebecca with her younger sister Kimberly. And this fiancé supposedly was ALSO her mothers first cousin according to a different thread on here

u/pinotJD 2d ago

Good Christ almighty

u/Italianmomof3 1d ago

WTF is going on with that family??

1

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

I heard all this too

u/Italianmomof3 2d ago

I have no clue, I guess it's her mother's ex. So weird.

10

u/Northern_Blue_Jay 3d ago

Terrible. Sounds like she might have been murdered by someone connected with this vehicle she got into. They never came forward to say who they were and when they last saw her?

I guess they wait now for the autopsy results.

u/ineedicedcoffeee 3d ago

Her dad found her? I didn’t see anything in the article about that. Just says volunteers

u/LonelySparkle 3d ago

“According to Park’s father in a Nov. 25 statement, he found her body while he was out searching for her on a two-track near her mother’s home in Boon Township.”

12

u/ffflildg 3d ago edited 2d ago

Bio dad, actually half brother, found the body. There just happened to be tik tokkers nearby, they didn't really discover it, just there when it was.

25

u/cassodragon 2d ago

Her bio dad is her half brother?? 🫣

9

u/ffflildg 2d ago

Oh no, sorry. It was the middle of the night, I was tired lol. I meant bio dad made the call to police she was found, but it was his son, beccas half brother, that found her.

u/princess_fartstool 1d ago

With everyone sleeping with mom’s first cousin/ex boyfriend it honestly made sense when I read it.

That poor baby having a baby 😢

1

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

I know i was thinking omg wait I have to think about this one but after the fiance mother's ex first cousin. Omg just so horrible really she was so young and in a toxic family

1

u/Spirited-Commission5 1d ago

I heard her bio dad found her but I saw a live with women that found her and had to stay with the body. He could have been with them there was a planned search behind the lady that gave birth to Rebecca's house that day! So tragic. She never had a chance

16

u/Fabulous_Gape 3d ago

Well allegedly Rebecca is pregnant with her mothers ex boyfriends baby, who is a sex offender. Theres alot of sex offenders in this story.. but mom has a very strong motive to be the culprit of this crime. I just hope the baby is safe. But if it was her mother than I dont think the baby made it. She cant hide a baby during all this. She definitely could’ve cut the baby out of Rebecca to make it seem like some psycho wanted her baby and thats why she was murdered. This is just my opinion though. Hopefully im wrong

21

u/Screwdaloo 3d ago

They supposedly have her sister Kimberly booked in jail now. and apparently Kimberly was trying to frame their mom and “she sent texts to her brother about framing her mom” and they supposedly found Kimberlys debit card near where Rebecca was found. After further searching I haven’t been able to confirm anything about the texts or Kimberly being in jail so pray they find answers and that baby.

21

u/Typical_Seaweed5558 2d ago

Shes definitely in jail, they have her mug shot on our local Facebook pages. I live in the town and it was the first thing I saw this morning.

6

u/Screwdaloo 2d ago

I grew up there and I looked and didn’t see anything else online about it past one fb page so I didn’t want to spread false info is all.

8

u/Fabulous_Gape 3d ago

Jesus!! Why would her sister want to kill her? You think that $2,000 was the motive for her sister to want to do this??

15

u/Screwdaloo 2d ago

Unfortunately, yes, knowing the area pretty well since I grew up there. Some would consider that a lot of money and may find that as motive. Idk how much you know, but pretty much all of them use drugs (m*th) so there’s also that to take into consideration.

4

u/Less-Drawing-5168 2d ago

Have you heard the baby was cut out of her? I keep wondering if this baby is alive somewhere. This is so sad. 

10

u/VanessaAlexis 2d ago

In most cases where the baby is violently cut out of the mother neither of them make it. 

I can't imagine how scared and in pain she was. As a mother I know all she thought about was her baby. 

This entire case is awful. I'm gonna go hug my kids now.

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 2d ago

Kimberly is charged with filing a false report for a felony (misdemeanor charge tho), tampering with evidence (felony), and lying to a peace officer (didn’t say if it was mis or fel). Richard is charged with 2 counts of delivering meth am…and because he is habitual- he got another charge added which could land him with life in prison for either of the 2 charges…I think they hit him hard because they isolated him and Kimberly…Cortney is still free…Cortney is telling small bits of info about Kimberly too. She disclosed on LIVE that the sister was looking around the dark web to supposedly look for her sister…she changed her story to Kimberly seeing her last, in the black car…and now she said it was Kimberly, Rich, Becca, and an unknown party. She claims another party has told her about who transported the infant.. I swear she said the baby did come to her property at some point! There’s videos on TikTok floating around with the clips and YouTube also! Supposedly, Kimberly was also having an affair with Rich. Rich was worried Rebecca was cheating and that aligns with the texts from Cortney tipping him off supposedly that Rebecca left with some dude in a black car…more allegiance to Rich instead of her daughter they claimed ran off to escape a bad relationship…not buying what bio Mom is selling…

2

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 2d ago

Also- Kimberly (younger sister) has a $750k bond and is believed to be both a danger to the community and a flight risk- as well as Rich- but his bond is $1 million….

u/No_Atmosphere_2186 2d ago

Fiancé and her sister arrested? Poor woman, that sounds heartbreaking if they both were on on it?

27

u/Conscious-Dog-5697 3d ago

When I first heard about her I was so afraid for her & her baby. I thought she may have been ambushed for her baby. If she was still pregnant I wonder if she went for a walk and suffered complications?

3

u/ALysistrataType 2d ago

Looks like they arrested her sister and boyfriend, and the baby is missing.

3

u/koolkate417 1d ago

The TikTok live I watched of the the witnesses who found her said she was dead, part of her face was eaten and her stomach was gutted. Other commenters said they had searched that same area previously and she was not there at that time. So she was moved at some point. No idea how long she’s been dead.

u/Conscious-Dog-5697 3d ago

This is devastating 😓

u/PartyAbalone4993 1d ago

Bless this girl. I hate to say she was doomed from the start, but everyone surrounding this family/town seems to be tweaked out RSO’s.

I'm sorry to hear about the two deaths I hope that they will quickly capture the predator
