Overview
- Cortney and Bradly Bartholomew remain jailed without bond on counts including first-degree murder, felony murder, torture, unlawful imprisonment and related charges tied to the deaths of Rebecca Park and her near‑term fetus.
- Recently released probable‑cause affidavits say Cortney told investigators she cut the baby from her daughter to try to save him, with documents alleging the infant was placed in a small cooler and discarded; investigators have not confirmed recovering the remains.
- Both defendants gave shifting accounts and blamed each other for the stabbing, while filings cite texts and statements suggesting competing motive theories and messages in which Cortney falsely claimed to have given birth days before the killing.
- Preliminary hearings were pushed back: Kimberly Park’s is set for Dec. 16 on evidence‑related charges, and the Bartholomews’ hearings were moved to mid‑January to allow defense review of discovery.
- Rebecca’s fiancé, Richard Falor, was arrested on unrelated drug charges and not charged in the homicide after investigators said claims implicating him were unsubstantiated.
