WEXFORD COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) — Rebecca Kay Park, the 22-year-old pregnant woman who has been missing since November 3, was found dead, according to a person with a Tuesday search party.
This person confirmed that they saw the body of Rebecca Park while out searching for her.
In a Tuesday night press conference, the Wexford County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police confirmed a body was found in the Manistee National Forest, in Boon Township.
Investigators say the body resembles Rebecca Park, but can not confirm that it is her until an autopsy is completed.
They said the case is still under investigation and will release more information as they investigate.

Deputies said Park was last seen getting into a dark-colored vehicle outside a relative’s home on South 21 1/2 Road in Boon Township on November 3.
Park, who was approximately 39 weeks pregnant, has not been seen or heard from since November 3.
Her cellphone was found discarded along a nearby two-track road, according to her family.
Park’s mother, Courtney Bartholomew, was the last person to see her alive.
Deputies reported that Park had arranged to be picked up but did not disclose to the witness who would be picking her up.
On the day she disappeared, investigators said Park received about $2,000 from a family inheritance, which authorities suggest could help her avoid electronic tracking.
Despite this, friends said she had no plans to leave.
