About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The Murder of Rebecca Park - Part Two: The Investigation | #469" from RedHanded covers the investigation into the killing of a heavily pregnant 22-year-old Rebecca Park and her unborn child. The hosts examine why fetal abduction wasn't initially considered a likely motive when Rebecca first went missing, given how rare such cases are, and this is explored in detail as fetal abduction forms the central thread linking the crime to its perpetrators.
The episode traces how the pieces of the case fall into place after reviewing countless Facebook livestreams and interviews given by Rebecca's biological mother, Cortney Bartholomew, and her husband, Bradley. What emerges is a picture of a mother allegedly jealous of her own child and willing to kill her in order to take her baby. The hosts comb through hours of livestream footage and police interviews to reconstruct not only what happened on the day Rebecca and her unborn baby were killed, but also to unpack the account her killers attempted to give to authorities.
