Investigators in Michigan allege that 22-year-old, 38-weeks-pregnant Rebecca Park was murdered, stabbed, and forcibly cut open to remove her unborn baby, a crime prosecutors say was carried out by her own mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and stepfather, Bradly Bartholomew. Newly obtained court documents reveal the pair gave dueling, gruesome confessions, each accusing the other of stabbing Rebecca, performing the crude cesarean section, and lying to police as investigators uncovered cell phone evidence, burned items, and disturbing autopsy details. Meanwhile, other early suspects, Rebecca’s sister Kimberly and boyfriend Richard Falor, gave conflicting accounts and were accused of misleading police, but only Cortney and Bradly now face first-degree murder and torture charges as prosecutors work to untangle a web of lies, shifting stories, and possible motives. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber explains the twisted new details in the case with former state attorney Dave Aronberg.
