No, husband isn't there.

He is now! https://vinelink.vineapps.com/person-detail/offender/51785172;tabIndexToSelect=0

Right?

Do we know what CB was charged with?

I think it's important to reiterate that the charges brought against boyfriend and sister do not involve murder, kidnapping, or assault.

Still looking for information about the baby from an approved source... So frustrating!

My guess would be that we'll find out the charges when there's a hearing, most likely some time today

So far, they can always add new charges.

Hoping the baby is ok somehow.

I'm sure whatever happened will make zero sense to reasonable people. But I'm still so bewildered. Why would this have happened this way? Did the party or parties who murdered her WANT the baby or did they want to get rid of him? Because it seems pretty likely that her adoptive parents would have taken him (they have custody of her older two small children). Is the difference that the father of this one was this guy who has been reportedly making the rounds in their whole family? Did they want to steal the baby and pass him off as someone else's? Sell him? Remove him from the sexual partner equation? Whatever their plan was, did it go wrong (other than being caught, I mean)?

This is where you can watch all Wexford county arraignments, but it’s unlikely they CB and BB will have theirs life streamed.
We can only hope that up north live has another reporter in the court drool to provide updates.

When Becca's sister Kim was arraigned, it was a closed court, they turned the cameras off.

Add in the investigation into the missing baby - and the FBI being brought in to work on the case - and questions are swirling across Northern Michigan and beyond.

Online amateur sleuths have only added more speculation to the internet frenzy surrounding the case, reaching levels that drew a strong rebuke from law enforcement last month as they very publicly squashed rumors about bloody clothing being found that was connected to the case.

Some of this online fervor is what you’d expect in a case rooted in a small town: Lots of speculation about Park’s family members and others connected to her. Chatter about people’s past criminal history and past Child Protective Services investigations. Mug shot photos being shared online.

But other parts of this social media surge have been eyebrow-raising: Armchair investigators whose guesswork includes photo-heavy graphics of who might be involved and “breaking news” alerts when a new piece of speculation is floated online.

Mom, stepdad in custody after missing Northern Michigan woman’s body found in forest

The two are expected to be arraigned on undisclosed charges later today.

UpNorthLive reports that Wexford County Jail records show Park’s biological mother and stepfather are listed as being in custody today. There is no specific information showing if they have been charged with a crime, or if they were taken into custody for a reason linked to Park’s case.

According to 9&10 News, the court arraignments for the mother and stepfather on undisclosed charges is scheduled for 1 p.m. today.

Media was allowed to record Kim and Rich’s arraignments but not allowed to live broadcast. Hopefully, it will be the same for Cortney and Brad’s arraignments later today.
Also, the third person Cortey implicated, but refused to identify, in a social media interview..could that be her husband Brad?

What is this for? It's not about Becca as she went missing less than a month ago. The dates on what you posted are for earlier this year.

 

[Gemmie]

I think this is what y'all have been waiting for.

just in case the hearing livestreamed (although I doubt very highly it will be since Kimberly and Richard's were not shown to protect their right to a fair trial)
Eightyfourth District

I fully expect the judge to follow a similar path this afternoon (provided Cortney and Brad are even on his docket for this afternoon)

Thank you!
I was going to go looking for the courthouse link you posted when it was Kim & Rich before the judge.

Animal predation usually begins in areas where the tissue is easier to breach and mucosa is present (nose and mouth, eyeballs, anus, etc).. it would be unusual for animal predation to start at a stomach which is rounded and has thick tough skin, and no open areas that attract scavengers. Holding my tongue until autopsy preliminary is released...

 

[tlcya]

it is 1:22 in MI I think. waiting anxiously for MSM updates as to the charges against Cortney and Brad.

Arraignment updates:
1:26 p.m. : Cortney Bartholomew, biological mother of Rebecca Park, is in court right now. Just waiting for the judge to arrive.

[tlcya]

They were scheduled to be arraigned on charges, but the prosecutor asked to delay the arraignment until Tuesday because a complaint was not yet ready.

The prosecutor requested that both suspects be held without bond due to the severity of the case.

Cortney and Brad Bartholomew are now scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.

[Herat]

Article indicates prosecutor has asked for the arraignment to be postponed until tomorrow as the complaint is not yet complete.

Asks for both CB and BB to be incarcerated, without bond, overnight until the Tuesday arraignment.
