Prosecutor calls murder of pregnant woman 'evil personified'

The mother and stepfather of a Wexford County, Michigan woman who vanished after being last seen on Nov. 3 have been charged with murder. “This is a case of premeditated torture and murder,” said Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey while arguing for no bond at the arraignment. “These two individuals created a plan, conducted research. Mr. Bartholomew brought Rebecca to their home, forced her into another vehicle and took her into the woods where they stabbed her, forced her to lie on the ground while they cut her baby out, ultimately caused her death and the death of the baby. The judge denied any bond in the cases and both remain in custody. Not-guilty pleas were entered on the couple’s behalf. (Gus Burns/MLive.com) Full story: https://www.mlive.com/news/2025/12/st...
