The sister and fiance of a missing pregnant woman have both been arrested, a day after a body believed to be Rebecca Park was found.
The body, found in Manistee National Forest Tuesday afternoon, has not been confirmed to be the 22-year-old woman, although the searchers who found the body were certain that it was, as CrimeOnline previously reported.
The Wexford County Sheriff’s Office said the body “resembles” Rebecca Park but that the coroner would make the determination if it, in fact, is the missing woman.
Meanwhile, social media was rife with speculation despite the sheriff’s office cautioning that misinformation had hindered its investigation. Much of that speculation centered around Parks’ family, including her fiance, Richard Lee Falor, her sister, Kimberly Park, and her mother, Cortney Boatwright.
Kimberly Park was taken into custody early Wednesday morning, just hours after the arrest of Falor, who was charged with two counts of delivering methamphetamine, WPBN reported. He given a $1 million bond after a judge deemed him a flight risk.
Park was charged with tampering with evidence, lying to a police officer, and filing a false report of a felony. She was also deemed a flight risk and was given a $750,000 bond.
Should either of them post bond, they will be on a GPS tether.
The sheriff’s office and state investigators have not provided any further information, including regarding the condition of the body.
“There’s a lot of moving parts, and the sheriff will give updates as soon as they become available,” said Michigan State Police Seventh District Public Information Officer Ashley Miller. “Right now, it is very active. We have a lot of detectives and department members working on this.”
Miller told the Detroit Free Press that an autopsy has not yet been scheduled.
Rebecca Park was last seen on November 3 when she got into a car outside her mother’s home after reportedly telling a family member someone was picking her up. She was about 38 weeks pregnant.
Falor and Kimberly Park are scheduled for probable cause hearings on December 2.
