Overview
- MLive reports that Kimberly Park is charged with lying to police, tampering with evidence, and filing a false report after statements that led to fiancé Richard Lee Falor’s arrest for open murder, a count he was not charged with.
- Falor was later released on the homicide suspicion and now faces unrelated drug charges, including two counts of delivery or manufacture and a habitual offender enhancement.
- Cortney and Bradly Bartholomew remain jailed on first-degree murder, felony murder, torture, unlawful imprisonment, assault on a pregnant individual, and improper removal of a body, with preliminary proceedings delayed into January.
- Arrest documents allege Cortney admitted cutting the unborn baby from Rebecca Park in what she claimed was an attempt to save him after stabbings, as each spouse blamed the other for the fatal wounds.
- Affidavits describe sharp-force injuries to Park’s neck and abdomen with the placenta still attached, witness accounts of her entering a dark vehicle near her mother’s home, and documents alleging the fetus was placed in a cooler and discarded.
