In a brief press conference Tuesday evening, the Wexford County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police announced that a body had been found in the Manistee National Forest.
The body was discovered around 2:15 p.m. on a two-track road in Boon Township by an independent search party that included family members. While authorities cannot confirm the identity until a full autopsy is completed, Wexford County Sheriff Trent Taylor said it “resembles Rebecca Park.”
According to other news outlets, the body was found about 2 miles from Rebecca’s mother’s residence by family members. Park, 22, had been missing for 21 days and was last seen getting into a vehicle the night of her disappearance. Her phone was also reportedly found previously along a two-track road, but it is unclear if it was the same road or in the same area.
Neither the Wexford County Sheriff's Office nor Michigan State Police commented on the status of the baby or if any arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing and details will be released as they become available.
