Missing 19-year old Brooke Carol Wilberger, a freshman at BYU, was last seen on Monday, May 24, 2004 by her sister cleaning lighting fixtures in the parking area of her sister's apartment complex in Corvallis, Oregon. Her cleaning supplies were left behind and police found a piece of her clothing in the lot. Police and volunteers have been searching a rugged park area near the complex. Her father, Greg Wilberger, is a process engineer for Borden Chemical, and the company today announced a $25,000 contribution to a reward fund established for information leading to Brooke Wilberger's return.
Brooke Wilberger is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weight 105 to 110 pounds, with shoulder-length blonde hair, blue eyes. She has a scar on her right arm from her elbow to her wrist and was last seen wearing jeans and a Brigham Young University sweatshirt.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Corvallis Police immediately at 877-367-2270.

UPDATE 2009
"He abducted her, he raped her, he murdered her
and left her body in the woods."
-- District Attorney John Haroldson
Corvallis, Oregon. -
As a result of a deal to take the death penalty off the table, Joel Courtney, the kidnapper, rapist and murderer of Brooke Wilberger, plead guilty to aggravated murder and will spend life in prison without any possibility of release. In return, Courtney revealed the location of Brooke's corpse. Police recoverd Brooke's body from a hidden gravesite in the woods of Benton County, Oregon.
While still mourning for their daughter, this closure has given the family relief. They have been spared the long court battles, the appeals, the sentencing, and the endless death penalty process. Now, with Courtney getting "true life" behind bars, they've been spared parole hearings.
"Thank you for being so supportive over the last five and a half years. It's been a long haul for all of us, but today we are grateful. At this time, we really feel gratitude, even to Mr. Courtney, who could see fit to tell us where he left Brooke. What happens to him, we are thankful that justice was served."
-- Cami Wilberger
Justice may have been served, but that doesn't bring a dead girl back to life. Neither would execution.
