Murder of Rebecca Park: Biological mom, husband allegedly placed dead baby in a cooler

Park, 22, was found dead in a wooded area in Northern Michigan in November after being reported missing more than three weeks earlier.

Officials allege on Nov. 3, Cortney Bartholomew, 40, and Bradly Bartholomew, 47, lured Park, who was Cortney Bartholomew’s biological daughter and was 38 weeks pregnant, to their Wexford County home. That is when officials say the couple tortured Park in an attempt to remove the unborn infant, resulting in the death of both.

New Details:

On Monday, court documents revealed even darker details in the already disturbing case, as the couple allegedly placed the baby in a lunch cooler and disposed of it in the trash.

Park’s remains were then found in the Manistee National Forest on Nov. 25.
