Overview
- Newly released probable-cause records say Cortney Bartholomew told investigators she cut her unborn grandchild from Rebecca Park and that the couple reported placing the infant in a small cooler and discarding it.
- The documents describe Park being stabbed multiple times and recount conflicting interviews in which Cortney and Bradly Bartholomew each blamed the other for the stabbing.
- Both Bartholomews told police they attempted CPR on the baby at home before disposing of the body, and authorities have not confirmed any recovery of the remains.
- Text messages cited in the affidavits show Cortney previously claiming a premature birth and naming a baby despite no evidence she was pregnant.
- In court Tuesday, a judge postponed probable-cause hearings for Kimberly Park to Dec. 16 and for Cortney and Bradly Bartholomew to mid-January, while not guilty pleas remain in place and a separate drug case for Richard Falor was set for this afternoon.
