Police said she was last seen getting into a dark-colored vehicle outside a relative’s home on South 21 1/2 Road in Boon Township.
Her family reported that her cellphone was found discarded along a nearby two-track road.
According to a report from UpNorthLive, Park, who was 39 weeks pregnant, had arranged to be picked up on the day she disappeared.
However, she did not disclose who would be picking her up.
Investigators noted that Park received $2,000 from a family inheritance that day, which police believe could have helped her avoid electronic tracking.
A member of a search party on Tuesday confirmed seeing Park’s body while searching in the area.
During a Tuesday night press conference, the Wexford County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police confirmed a body was found in Manistee National Forest in Boon Township.
Officials said the body resembles Park but will not confirm the identity until an autopsy is completed.
They added that the case remains under investigation and more information will be released as it becomes available.
