MURDERED: Brooke Wilberger

About this episode

In May 2004 19 year old Brooke Wilberger was home in Oregon on her Summer break from BYU, UTAH. She had just finished her Freshman year of college. While home on break Brooke was working for her sister and her brother-in-law at at an apartment complex they manage in Corvallis, OR right by the OSU campus. That’s when one morning, while washing and cleaning up some light poles in the complex’s parking lot Brooke disappeared, leaving only two, now mangled flip flops behind. The search for Brooke would be come the most publicized in OR’s history. This is her story.
