Police are still searching for the baby of a pregnant mother-to-be found dead in a woodland just days before she was due to give birth.
Rebecca Park, who was 39 weeks pregnant, was found dead in Manistee National Forest, but there was no sign of her baby.
Rebecca was last seen leaving her mother’s house in Michigan on the evening of November 4.
Earlier this month, she was reported missing from Boon Township, nearly 50 miles away from where her body was found.
Witnesses said she was last seen getting into the passenger side of a dark-coloured car outside the home.
She was not heard from again, and days later, her phone was found near her mother’s home.
Her fiancé, Richard Lee Falor, and her 21-year-old sister, Kimberly Park, have since been arrested but not charged in connection with Rebecca’s death.

Falor, a 43-year-old convicted sex offender, was detained the same night as when Rebecca’s body was found just 50 miles from where she was last seen.
He was charged with two drug-related crimes and is facing a life sentence due to his past as a habitual offender.
Described as a community and flight risk, Falor remains in jail, held on a $1,000,000 cash bond.
He had spoken to the media when Rebecca first vanished.He said: ‘Becca told her mom, “Hold on. I got somebody to pick me up. This is just something I got to do. I’m sorry,”‘ Falor said.
‘A black sedan pulled up, and she got in. Nobody’s heard from her since.’
He added: ‘Me and her have been together for a little over two years, and even when she’s not around me, she’s always in contact with me.
‘Me, her mom and sister, we’ve all been calling the hospitals. I just want to know that she’s safe. Our son is safe,’ Falor said.

She is being held on a $750,000 cash bond at Wexford County Jail.

Rebecca’s cause of death is still being investigated, and police have said they can only release ‘extremely limited’ information to the public due to the nature of the case.
Her adoptive mother Stephanie Park said she’s been silent during the search to protect her family, but now she wants people to know that Becca had a family.
She said: ‘We have been silent because we do care. We wanted her found. We did not want a push anybody that would be involved in this way so that she would be able to be found. I never suspected her as running away with the baby. So, we have been preparing ourselves for this outcome.
‘She was deeply loved. She was. She had some mental illnesses and some troubles. She was a loving person, but she had her problems. She deserves to be remembered, as the sweet girl that she was when she was younger.’
