Rebecca Park disappeared while 38 weeks pregnant. When her body was found, she was dead and the baby was gone. A series of arrests have only raised more questions, as authorities continue their search for her baby.
Park, 22, was reported missing on November 4, and her body was found in the Manistee National Forest on November 25, about 100 miles north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Park's baby was due three days before her body was found and she was no longer pregnant when searchers found her dead body, Cadillac News reported.
Currently, Park's mother and stepfather, Cortney and Brad Bartholomew, are being held on unspecified charges, ABC-74 reported. The pair originally were set to be arraigned on Monday, but prosecutors asked for a delay. They are expected to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"If there was ever a case where circumstances justify a delay of any type, it's this case. This is as serious as it gets. It's as horrible as it gets — to preserve the integrity of the case," prosecutor Johanna Carey told the court, according to ABC-74.
Cortney and Brad Bartholomew are currently being held in the Wexford County Jail. The arraignment is expected to provide some details regarding any potential charges and possibly results from an autopsy on Park.
Park's sister and fiancé also currently face criminal charges although it is unclear if those criminal charges relate to her disappearance and death.
Cadillac News reported that Park's sister, Kimberly Sue Park, was charged with tampering with evidence in a criminal case punishable by more than 10 years, lying to a peace officer during a violent crime investigation, and filing a false report of a felony. The newspaper reported that those charges apparently stemmed from incidents that happened on November 22.
Meanwhile, Park's finance, Richard Lee Falor, 43, was charged with two counts of delivering methamphetamine. Those charges stem from incidents that happened between June 17 and Aug. 11, the Cadillac News reported.
PEOPLE reported that the pair were arrested within a day of Park's body being found. Falor was arrested and charged at 7:30 p.m. on November 25 and Kimberly Sue Park was arrested the morning of November 26.
