Jealous Mom Kidnaps Her Own 22 YrOld Pregnant Daughter, Takes Her Into Forest & Cuts Unborn Baby Out

25:26That's lasagna day. That's weird lasagna inheritance dinner with her biological mom, Courtney, and her half-sister, Kim. Half-sister, you know, that reports her missing to the police. Yeah, and the husband, Bradley, sitting in the car. Yes. So then November 2nd, Becca goes to the hospital. Becca thinks she's in labor. She's not in labor. She gets turned, the hospital sends her back out. She's only one centimeter dilated, I think out of like 10 centimeters dilated. But it's very interesting. People say the timing of the hospital visit right after a suspicious gluten-free, nasty-tasting lasagna is a little weird.

26:02Goes to the hospital, hospital sends her back home. November 3rd, one day before she's called to be reported missing, Becca goes out to get ice cream and run errands with her bio mom, Courtney. She disappears November 3rd that night. She's only reported missing the day after on November 4th. But really, the last time anybody's seen her is November 3rd. And so everybody's got a different story of the last few days before Becca goes missing. and I will say the more frequently someone or anyone involved with this case opens their mouths to talk the more suspicious each one of them seems obviously with a case like this everybody knows the statistics the statistics are much higher for a pregnant woman to be abused by her partner Becca's partner Rich who is basically double her age and is also having an affair with Becca's biological mom he's a very shady guy I mean that's putting it very lightly he also deals meth.

26:57Okay, the police are definitely looking at him. But also to the last people who saw Becca alive. Deputy Reed is talking to the biological mom, Courtney. You were one of the last people to see Becca alive. Courtney doesn't disagree. She's like, yeah, she was. You know, she was probably with Becca until maybe like 8.30 p.m. the night before. She picked up Becca from Becca and Rich's house to go get ice cream at Culver's, which is surprisingly an underrated spot for ice cream. Then Courtney states that Becca was interested in getting Tide Pods. They gotta go run errands to buy Tide Pods. Target, Walmart, Kroger, Ralph's, where do you get Tide Pods?

27:39Bio mom Courtney is like, well, I had Tide Pods. So rather than going to the store to get some Tide Pods as one would very naturally do. Courtney decides to drive Becca back to her house to go into her laundry room and fetch out some Tide Pods. Maybe she's a Tide Pod hoarder. Maybe there was a sale at Costco. Maybe she didn't want to disrupt the supply chain. I don't know why. Courtney is like, here, just take my Tide Pods. I mean, Tide Pods aren't even a thing that really expired. It's weird. Was there anything eventful that happened that day? Well, sure. Okay. Becca was complaining about her fiance rich what's new he was just hounding her this is like courtney's perspective he was just hounding her so that he could get money to fix his truck but she's so pregnant where is she going to come up with this money she doesn't have a job courtney is encouraging becca you gotta leave rich he's not even great he's not even rich but becca seems scared or at least that's what courtney says becca said with her own words that she was very afraid of her fiance rich courtney pulls out an envelope to becca that night the night she was missing yes this time it has money it has two thousand dollars of cash in there and this is when according to courtney she notices something so bizarre and so odd she said i saw becca using two phones i don't know why she has two phones for what reason but two phones i saw two phones i imagine this is like a investigation through from the police yeah it was that's from their report okay i mean i imagine she states in a conspiratorial way as she seems to do in lots of interviews that she had gone into the house to get laundry soap tide pots because outside and when she brings them outside quote i noticed that she had deleted something courtney doesn't know what, nor does she know which phone she was deleting stuff off of.

29:34Anywho, don't ask questions. Courtney's like moving on in the interview. She's just like, okay, well, I saw her delete something. And then all of a sudden, a mysterious black SUV with tinted windows pulls up. How do we know it's a mysterious black SUV with tinted windows? We don't know other than the fact that Courtney is telling us this information. And it's a Chevy. How do we know that? Courtney told us that. She could just tell it's a Chevy. And then it pulls up rather dramatically. She can't even see who's driving inside the car. And Becca tells her, this is something I have to do. What does that mean?

30:09Courtney says she doesn't ask further questions. She doesn't press Becca on why she's being so cryptic because she doesn't want to push Becca away. She just watches as her pregnant daughter gets into the passenger seat of this black SUV mystery and then they drive off. There is this brief idea Courtney said she had where she was like I know I'm gonna get Bradley my husband who my biological daughter despises to get in his car and follow the black SUV but then Courtney decided no no no no because if Becca ever finds out that we followed her she would be so mad which one would imagine that if you feel the urge or the inkling to follow a black SUV that you're suspicious enough to go chase after it, that's a pretty alarming thing.

30:55Like you've got to have a very strong feeling about this SUV. But Courtney does not act. She does not call the police. She doesn't do anything. She just goes to sleep and she realizes the next morning Becca had never gone home. The next morning, November 4th, everyone knows that Becca hasn't gone home. She's pregnant and she's missing. Courtney says she gets a text message from her other daughter, Kim, Becca's half sister It's just coordinates What do you mean it's just coordinates? Coordinates Kim tells her mom This is where Becca's phone is Courtney types it into her maps Starts walking And it leads her right Wait, this is when they are like Where's Becca?

31:34Where's Becca? And Kim just sends a coordinate That's it? Yeah It's like she has her find my iPhone? Okay And it leads Courtney And her husband Bradley straight to a phone. Becca's phone, but no Becca. Where was it? In the woods behind their house. They live on the edge of Manistee National Forest. Okay. In Michigan. Like really close by? Yeah. I mean, they, I mean, you could pretty much walk into the national forest from their backyard. Yeah. I would say, okay, the forest, the national forest is not like the vibe of Yosemite or like Yellowstone. It's just like lots of densely wooded areas. And there are trails, but they don't live on the side where there's a lot of tourist groups and lots of scenic trails.

32:21So just think like densely packed woods. The police now have that phone and they know that Becca wasn't using it to coordinate with some black SUV Uber driver or any sort of black SUV driving friend or anybody. They just, there's nothing on that phone. So that means that this SUV driver just materialized out of thin air to take her on to a mysterious location. It doesn't make any sense. The biological mom, Courtney, tells the officer, well, that's because, like I said, she had two phones, maybe three. So she could have been using her other phones to coordinate with the SUV driver to get picked up from my house that night.

33:00The police are confused by all of this. How would Kim have the coordinates to Becca's phone? And why was Becca's phone found behind Courtney's house if she was picked up in a black van? It doesn't make any sense. Courtney responds, I don't fucking know.

33:20Courtney Bartholomew is a woman whose explanations defy logic. She just has a tendency to say things. they kind of make sense if you decide to completely disregard any signals coming from your prefrontal cortex but if you just think about it for a moment longer it starts sounding weird courtney says before becca is whipped away in a scary big black van they were just having a normal bio mom daughter date like any good mother who is rarely present in her daughter's life until recently four years ago courtney has this ingenious idea she's like i'm gonna plan you a baby shower for your baby, your son that's about to be born.

34:00However, she tells the police Becca was not interested. She said that CPS was going to come and take her baby. Do you see why that's weird? Because your baby's not born when you have a baby shower. I mean, maybe the fear is that people are going to post the baby shower on social media, thus alerting CPS that Becca is pregnant. But that doesn't seem to be accurate because when you go online, they're all posting frequently about pregnancy it just kind of doesn't make sense it feels like that story was thrown in there to be like i'm such a good mom i wanted to throw her a baby shower and also becca's bad because cps would probably take her kid that's the vibe it was giving it was it's just it's weird doesn't make sense it doesn't make any sense now courtney thinks specifically if she had to put her money on it.

34:49If she had to think about who had something to do with Becca going missing, it's probably a guy named Mike and a woman named Ashley. Who the hell are Mike and Ashley? Courtney says they were the ones that were going to help Becca run away from Richard. She could be in hiding right now. Who is Ashley? Quote, oh, Rich's other baby mama. so now she's saying you gotta look into these two people the police look into these two people and they have nothing to do with it what do you mean like they're real so they're ashley yes they do exist and they have nothing to do who is with anything mike is friends with ashley is related to Ashley.

35:42Okay, okay, got it. And it just leads them onto this wild goose chase and there is nothing there. Okay. So the police think, okay, well, maybe we should just look into Rich then. Is Becca's fiance and the father of her unborn child, Rich, suspicious? By default, based on statistics, perhaps, I mean, amongst other very concrete reasons, but a lot of Becca's former classmates, family members, and more on her real family members later like Stephanie Park, but a lot of Becca's friends, they don't particularly appreciate Courtney's passionate story and pointing the finger at Ashley, Rich's other ex-girlfriend, mainly because, first of all, Ashley and Becca had a very close relationship, so it doesn't seem like Ashley would do anything nefarious to Becca.

36:35And Ashley would not just let Becca go missing and not inform the police if they're on this wild goose hunt for Becca. But also, a lot of people are mad because you've been in your daughter's life for like two minutes. Becca was placed in foster care at one years old, was adopted by a woman named Stephanie Park. That's her real mom. Becca only reconnected with her biological mom, Courtney, at 18 years old. And now Courtney is out here pretending like she's known Becca for her entire life and is supporting her and is fighting to find her. one of Becca's friends takes issue with this and then Courtney decides she's gonna get mad at all of Becca's friends Courtney goes on social media and she gives a very important message this is during the very critical time that her daughter is missing she says fuck you Araya Araya is Becca's friend who has been trying to figure out what happened to Becca and has naturally become pretty suspicious of Courtney because none of her stories are making sense she's got two phones she's got three phones she didn't want a baby shower it's just a whole bunch of nonsense that's coming out of courtney courtney responds by going on live and screaming one they have searched my property two i didn't touch my fucking daughter and three we already know the fucking info that you're fucking telling us aria bradley the husband chimes in we got fucking cameras watching the fucking road you dumb bitch what what did aria said before this that courtney is suspicious that Courtney doesn't want the cops to search her house.

38:00And these are all happening on Facebook. Yeah. And then Courtney goes back to screaming. So you better fucking watch it. Rusty, Rusty is Araya's dad. Rusty, you better get your fucking child under control because she's taking a mother's pain and turning it into a goddamn circus. Fuck you, Araya. You don't have fucking kids that you actually take care of. I do, unfortunately. You don't have yours because you fucking can't be a mom to yours. So you know what? Fuck you, bitch. You're going to get an ass whooping. You keep it up. I'm not playing with you anymore. I already know the goddamn information.

38:35My daughter probably left rich. Y 'all can't accept it. Get over it. If that's what she fucking did, then I'm happy for her. I just want to know where she's at and that she's okay. That's all that counts anymore. And you know, whatever you fucking say, I laid a hand on my fucking pregnant daughter, Araya. So help me fucking god you will not like me bitch don't play with me wow but just because courtney hasn't been present in her life her now missing daughter's life doesn't mean that courtney is automatically the most suspicious one right in fact rich failer becca's fiance is a very shady person i mean that's just factually correct the police question where he was when his pregnant fiance becca went missing and he explains from the top that the day that she vanished her stomach had been hurting all morning so it was lasagna inheritance day hospital day and then the next day her stomach is still hurting a lot she's not feeling good so they spent the entire day laying in bed and watching movies she wasn't talking to anyone she wasn't texting anyone i mean she wasn't texting anyone particularly who drives a big black suv a chevy suv with tinted windows but what does rich know rich doesn't know a lot of things.

39:51Rich says he had no clue that Becca was even going to Courtney's house. He thought that they were just gonna go get ice cream at Culver's because that's what Becca was craving. When Courtney comes to pick Becca up around dinner time, he says, Becca gave me a hug. We gave each other a kiss. What normal couples would do when somebody's leaving, she said, give her about an hour and a half to two hours and then she'd be back. But then he falls asleep 45 minutes later after she leaves he wakes up at 1 a.m he tries to call Becca trying to figure out where she is but she's not picking up he doesn't freak out because he just assumed that his pregnant fiance who had been at the hospital the night before is just at a friend's house even though she states that she's going to be home in two hours and it's now many hours he doesn't think that this is alarming and then the next morning he starts calling Courtney because he's like, wait, Becca's still not home.

40:47So like, where's Becca, Courtney? Courtney tells him that Becca was picked up by somebody in a black SUV, but Rich doesn't believe her. Yeah. And the way that Courtney says it is really bizarre. She says, your old lady left with someone in a black SUV. First of all, Courtney, you're 40. This is your biological daughter and she's 22. I don't know. It's weird. Rich does not believe Courtney. He goes from being so trusting. He goes from waking up at 1am, I'm sure my 38 week pregnant wife is totally fine, to all of a sudden, hey, I am the most skeptical person on the block. And I don't believe that Becca would leave in a black SUV.

41:24But nothing comes of any of this. I mean, this is no clue. There's no hint. There's nothing to lead the police closer to finding Becca. And as the days pass, Becca's friends start coming out to talk about how, hey, this guy sucks. He's not the amazing attentive fiance that he probably wants everyone to see him as he is straight up a creep he admits on a podcast called Steph's Case Files he's confronted about whether or not he cheated on Becca before because he clearly did what's a Steph case file it's a podcast um I I think Steph's Case Files is fine um no I think they're really good it's a podcast name and this is after this whole case has happened and they are doing interviews with rich right it's when becca goes missing okay got it yes okay but i will say um the reason that i am having like i don't know i guess people um stephanie park along with becca's family her real family have come out like stephanie park's family have come out to say that all of the internet rumors and speculations are getting out of hand and it's impeding with the police investigation before the case goes to trial.

42:34I will say that there are lots of different live streamers and podcasts where they'll all kind of dial in and call each other and they will call in Courtney or Richard and there's a lot of rumors that take place in the comment sections that are voiced out loud that then kind of become a life of its own. So I would just be careful with this case in regards to going to but I will say it's complicated because at the same time that these are the podcasts that got the word out so Steph's Case Files I think is doing a really good job but there might be other podcasts that are not doing a splendid job is just all I'm trying to say I see so it seems like Becca's family her real family are a little frustrated with that I see not saying that that's what Steph's Case Files did but I'm just saying when you go down the rabbit hole of listening to all these live streams because there were issues with live streamers then going to courtney and bradley bartholomew's house and filming them from outside their house across the street it's just a lot so they're all talking these people they're talking on every podcast yeah i see yeah now he is confronted about whether or not he's cheated on becca before because clearly he did with not just anybody but with becca's biological mom courtney and rich says yeah i never lied every time becca came to me and asked me if i talked to a female sexually i never lied to her about it because why would she come to me asking me about it if she didn't know the truth so is rich corny's ex or is corny rich so who like who was the ex or okay cheating that is very unclear it seems like he is probably courtney's ex they all kind of knew each other and then he starts dating becca that is crazy and then when becca and rich are on and off dating and back and forth he would still be sleeping with courtney i see so he's asked on the podcast if he was abusive or not to becca because there was rumors that he was violently abusive and he says verbally yes physically i never harmed her Is he proud?

44:46Is he like He's just like He thinks it's normal I think to be verbally abusive Is the sound Wow Is it true that you didn't want the baby at all? I wanted the baby At first Before she got pregnant I kept telling her Let's wait Because neither of us Were financially stable And I wanted to have a full-time job But when she came back With the pregnancy test Stating she was pregnant I always wanted it When asked if he thinks Courtney would harm Her own biological daughter Becca Because I mean she's already harming her biological daughter Becca by having an affair with Rich. Well, Rich is asked about whether or not, and he says, I feel like Courtney wouldn't harm Becca until after the baby's born.

45:27Until after the baby's born. Does Courtney have a weird obsession with being a grandmother? Like that's where she draws her moral line. Rich elaborates, a lot of it's got to do with the baby. I know when Courtney first found out Becca was pregnant, she sent threatening messages to Becca's phone. Rich is asked, I mean I heard that Kourtney has a weird obsession with always liking to be pregnant but do you think that she's jealous that Becca is having your child? Rich says yeah because October of last year when Becca was pregnant she had a miscarriage which back then I feel like it was mine but there was a chance it was somebody else's because she conceived shortly before she quit cheating on me.

46:01We've been told that Kourtney was pissed off because Becca was pregnant and then when she found out that she was pregnant we both said it was mine and it just so happened when she got pregnant this time, Courtney threatened Becca a few times, stating she wasn't going to let Becca have my child. It's all making Courtney look pretty suspicious. However, Courtney tells the investigators that, okay, fine, she and Rich have been on and off seeing each other when Becca wasn't with Rich. It is bad, yes. However, however, is it the worst thing in the world? No, not compared to what Rich does.

48:48Courtney is explaining to the officer, like she said, Becca and Rich are not the most stable couple that she has ever witnessed. They're on and off off again. And one time earlier in 2025, when they were in their off period, which is a shame, but while they were broken up, Courtney decides the best way to comfort her daughter, Becca, is to sleep with Rich again. That's not how she puts it, though. She just states that they start dating. And it was evidently very serious because she decides that she is going to go through the logistics of divorcing her husband, Bradley. But then she gets pregnant.

49:24and she doesn't know if it's Rich's baby or Bradley's baby. Wait, what? What? This is earlier in 2025. But that's not the baby that she was telling her sister about, right? No, no. So she says that she got pregnant and she didn't know whose baby it was. And because there was a chance that it could be her husband Bradley's, she decided to just stay with Bradley. That's just the plan. She's going to stay married. It's not like she can just ask her stomach, who's your dad? Although I do think that Courtney would be the type to try. She's like diagnosed with the terminal illness of stupidity. I don't know how else to put it.

50:01Okay, she decides to put her family first, stay with Bradley. She's no longer going to get a divorce and Rich is going to go then resume his relationship with Becca. However, everyone is on board, except Courtney says Rich was not. She tells the police, Rich doesn't want Becca. He wants her, Courtney. He's so angered by the fact that he has to be with Becca while Becca's mom, Courtney, biological mom, just has a child who may or may not be his that he breaks into Courtney's house to essay her and that causes her to miscarry. Now, we are typically never ones to doubt someone's account of being essayed.

50:45But these people like to make up new things every two seconds, so I can't be sure of anything at this point. But Rich argues that is not at all what happened. And it doesn't even make sense because Courtney has cameras inside and outside her house. If he did come in with a gun and SA her at gunpoint, wouldn't she just turn that footage over to the police? To which Courtney then argues, well, it's only a live feed. I don't have money for SD cards, so it doesn't actually record anything. I can only watch live. Rich then argues, can you really believe anything Courtney says? she's the one during Becca's first pregnancy.

51:21So Becca has two other children, two sons before her third pregnancy. She's pregnant with her third pregnancy when she goes missing. But she has two other sons and they're now being raised by Stephanie Park. They were actually being raised by Stephanie Park even when Becca, before she had gone missing. How old are they? Do we know? It's like they're like one and three, I believe. Very young. Yeah. So they're being raised by Stephanie and when Becca was carrying her very first child so this is not Rich's child Courtney is still so upset at the idea that her biological daughter is pregnant with her grandchild she tries to hit Becca on the stomach with a baseball bat how do we know that that's what Rich is saying so what is happening like police is trying to figure out the backstory and all Courtney and Richards are doing just pointing finger at each other is that what's going on yes I will say that Becca goes missing and the police, I don't know if they put a lot of effort into finding Becca.

52:21There are lots of things that they had recorded interviews with some of the people that seemed the most suspicious. Those interviews have not been released, but in an affidavit, their conversations were recounted in the legal document, but that the video of like the interrogations were not released yet. So they're gathering a few things, but a lot of this is happening online they're just going online these things online rich are saying like she's baseball batting yes i see yeah now i i don't know maybe he also told it to the police maybe he didn't because it's not true and he doesn't want to lie to the police i don't know but now in steph's case files the podcast rich asked basically if courtney did want becca's baby her grandson they're like you think that courtney did something to her own daughter becca for the child that she's pregnant with.

53:11And they're asking, so is Courtney possibly trying to take this baby and maybe sell it? Or is she in like a financial situation? Or would she be trying to keep this baby herself? I don't know. I'm speculating, but I can't help it. Rich responds, it could go either way. Now, Rich points the finger at Courtney. And sure, Courtney has argued that there's no way she could ever feasibly do anything to Becca considering she is missing one of her legs from the knee down, which she is missing. It is believed that she did use a prosthetic previously, but according to internet rumors, and again, these are rumors, I don't even know if they're verified, okay?

53:48She got her prosthetic taken away because she took off her prosthetic and then tried to hit some police officers with it. I don't know how accurate any of this is. However, that's the allegation online, but I do know she is missing one of her legs from the knee down. She does use crutches and she does use a wheelchair. But Rich says, that's not a valid alibi. He says, I've seen Courtney and her husband Bradley go at it. And quote, I mean, it'll go both ways. There's times Bradley would overpower her and times she would overpower Brad. So this becomes like a battle of the who's the least trustworthy person.

54:21We are in a shitty situation, especially when you factor in Rich's criminal history. He has multiple charges against him for SA against minors, against a child who is 13 to 15 years old, against an incapacitated victim. he has committed at least five sexual crimes and he is on the sex offender registry. But if you ask Shady Rich who he thinks took Becca, his pregnant fiance, he will likely tell you it's going to be Courtney and her husband, Bradley Bartholomew. The cold hard truth for Bradley Bartholomew, Courtney's husband, is that nobody likes Bradley. Courtney's biological daughters, Becca and Kim, don't like Bradley.

54:58And even Courtney doesn't like Bradley because just earlier this year, she was trying to divorce him and go run off with Becca's fiance, Rich. So it makes sense that everyone, if they had to point their finger at someone, that it would be pointed directly at Bradley Bartholomew's face. But everyone has problems with everyone. Bradley argues even Becca and her mom, Courtney, had problems. They barely got along. Courtney felt resentful of Becca because, you know, sure, it was Courtney's decision and incompetency that caused her to not be able to raise her daughter, Becca, for the first 18 years of her life.

55:33but now that she suddenly is in her life, she wants to be treated with respect and be treated like a good mom. Becca won't even give her that chance. However, Bradley is adamant that he had nothing to do with Becca going missing. He wasn't even around when Becca was picked up by that black SUV and when Courtney was inside getting Tide Pods. He wasn't even home the entire day that they were getting ice cream. He was out at his place. He's got his own place. He doesn't live with Courtney. Where does he live? he does live with courtney but he also has his own place out in the woods what this is not it's not a shed it's not a cabin he just like called dibs on a spot in the woods like camping i don't even know if he has a tent he just has a spot in the woods that he really really likes and he spends a lot of time there and sometimes he'll sleep is it like in the back of corny's house or no i think like further further back i don't think this is like backyard camping i think this is he's walking to his points at the forest and say i i sleep there that's my house basically but is there a a a spot or where he's making this up nobody knows okay yeah but he says he's got a place in the woods and the police like where is it yeah okay okay yeah there's no way to confirm that he was at his place in the woods because he left his phone at courtney's house there's no way to track him through the cell towers i mean all you can take is his word and someone's word in the middle of the woods i wouldn't even take it if they were free anyway he's at his place in the woods when he gets back he is told that becca is missing at which point Courtney sends him a coordinate and is like you need to go find Becca's phone here he's like what so Kim had sent Courtney the coordinates this is next morning yeah November 4th Kim sends Courtney the coordinates Courtney sends it to Bradley Bradley's like I'm not gonna go looking out there alone the police are like why did you not go alone quote I'm not gonna be accused of anything so when Courtney gets home her and Bradley both go into the woods together and they find Becca's phone.

57:47Bradley has no clue how her phone got there. Mind you, he just got home. He was living in the woods, living off nature. He just got here. How would he know how Becca's phone got here? But if he had to take his best guess and if he had to voluntarily tell the police, he said, Becca had walked that trail before. I don't know what that means. One would imagine that perhaps Bradley is the safer of the two to trust in the situation between Courtney and Bradley because Courtney is Becca's biological mom. Rich is Becca's fiance. say, there's a lot of interpersonal relationships there and the potential growth of resentment and some nefarious plots.

58:20Bradley kind of has nothing to gain from lying to the police or doing anything to Becca. Well, there might be something to gain. Bradley Bartholomew, Courtney's husband, is also a registered sex offender. And just the year before, he was thrown into jail for breaking probation. And according to Courtney, the person who reported him that sent him away, Rich. Rich Fahler, Becca's fiance, sent Bradley Bartholomew to prison last year. What happened? He broke his probation. And he went to jail. He broke his probation because he's a registered sex offender. He can't be around kids. He can't do lots of things.

59:01And he broke that probation. rich allegedly turns him in and he had to spend probably not that long in jail but he spent some time in jail wow i will say there's a lot of weird stuff about bradley being a sex offender other than the fact that he's a sex offender there's insane posts on courtney's facebook page that show her absolute lack of self-awareness being at its peak she complains about how the county parole office won't let her husband bradley take care of her and you're like that doesn't make any sense why right we can assume it's because Courtney actually has another son another child who's 14 and I want to put him on the map because he's not as relevant and his voice is out there and that's like another problematic thing but she has a 14 year old son and he cannot be in a house with a 14 year old boy right and she's complaining about the parole office right right right she's complaining about that rather than you know wow yeah so she would write online on facebook so wexford county parole office refused to allow my husband to care for me so fuck i'll sue them and have all of them fired spoiler alert none of them were fired nobody was sued when authorities ask bradley bartholomew who he thinks is responsible for becca disappearing he says that he didn't want to say anything but you know i saw i saw kim asking about the trails behind the house i think it was kim basically saying i think it was becca's half-sister and he says quote i believe she's dead saying he believes that becca is dead and her half-sister kim is the one that killed her this is what a mess so bradley is like it's her half sister kim what motive would kim have in getting rid of her sister bradley says he heard kim say once that she needs becca out of the picture then he says something weird he says you know courtney she likes to sleep with scapels next to her nightstand disposable scapels to drain like some of the cellulitis markings she has scalpels and something interesting to note is that now one of them is missing and guess who has access to those scalpels?

1:01:20Kim. There are a few ways to frame somebody for murder and the easiest, simplest, fish brain one would just be take an item that belongs to the person that you're trying to frame and plant it at the scene of the crime. It's easy, it's simple, it's clean. November 25th, 2025. Three weeks after Becca goes missing, civilians stumble upon her body in the Manistee National Forest. They find Becca and they find what appeared to be remains and when they walk up close it was very clear that it belonged to a human and not animal remains and it looked like someone didn't want Becca to be found. She was covered in leaves and she appeared quote gutted.

1:01:59Deputy Jacob goes down into the wooded area and he had seen this human body female with a tattoo above her left eye that matches Becca and Deputy Jacob reports her stomach had been cut open. There are clear wounds to her stomach. The placenta was hanging out of her open abdominal wound with an attached umbilical cord that appears to have been cut with dental floss. There are stab wounds all over Becca, which later it's confirmed that she was alive when she was stabbed and alive when later her stomach was cut open and someone forcibly ripped her baby out of her and cut her umbilical cord before they slit her throat and then dragged her.

1:02:36They hooked her up to a car and then dragged her into the woods and then left her for dead. Whoever did this, they wanted Becca's baby no matter what. They didn't care if Becca felt all of the pain of her baby being taken out. They didn't care if Becca died or lived as long as they could take Becca's 38-week-old son. Whoever did this did not just kill Becca and steal her unborn baby. They wanted Becca to suffer. They essentially tortured her. There are two very important details about where Becca's body is found. One, she's found on Federal Forest Service Road 9784. And if you were to clear all of the trees and you were to walk in a straight line two and a half miles, you would make it straight onto Courtney and Bradley's porch.

1:03:19And two, at the crime scene, there is a debit card that has been left behind. And that belongs to none other than Kimberly Park, Becca's half-sister. So was she framed or was this the dumbest accident to leave her debit card at the scene of the crime? And that is where I leave you with part one. Part two will be up very quickly and let me know your thoughts so far on this case. Be safe and I'll see you in the next one. There's a difference between liking a house and actually getting it.
