Could a mother’s jealousy, lust, and greed lead to the most unthinkable act of violence against her own child? Cortney Bartholomew, 40, allegedly confessed to a horrifying crime: cutting her 9-month-pregnant daughter, Rebecca Park, 22, open to remove her unborn baby, just days before Rebecca was due. Initially denying involvement in Rebecca’s murder, Cortney changed her story after police confronted her with compelling cell phone evidence. Shockingly, she claimed her motivation was to save the child for Rebecca’s fiancé, Richard Falor, with whom Cortney had previously engaged in an affair. The depravity deepens as Cortney also alleged that her husband, Bradly Bartholomew, 47, was not only Rebecca’s stepfather but also the father of her unborn child and the primary murderer. Cortney horrifyingly recounted how Bradly allegedly stabbed Rebecca and held a knife to her throat while she, Cortney, cut the non-breathing baby from her womb. This innocent life, allegedly born into such terror, was then tragically discarded in a dumpster, while Rebecca’s body was hidden, only to be found weeks later. Bradly’s purported motive was retaliation against Falor, who had reportedly informed authorities about Bradly’s violation as a convicted sex offender. Text messages from Cortney even showed her falsely claiming to have given birth to a baby and then announcing its death around the same time Rebecca’s baby was killed. Both Cortney and Bradly now face severe charges, including first-degree murder and torture, each carrying potential life sentences, with Rebecca’s sister, Kimberly, also facing charges for tampering with evidence.
