Brooke Wilberger Family, friends express relief Wilberger’s body is finally found Brooke Wilberger’s memory has faded on the BYU campus, but former roommates of the BYU sophomore who vanished five years ago in Corvallis, Ore., embraced with a sense of release Monday the news that her body had been found.
“It has felt like an eternity to every person involved in this,” said Brittany Bennion, one of Wilberger’s Deseret Towers roommates.
“I’m happy that there is closure and I’m happy that they found her body. I know that this is what Brooke’s family was hoping for.”
The search for Wilberger, who disappeared from an apartment building near the Oregon State University campus in May 2004 shortly after finishing her freshman year at BYU, ended Monday when a man pleaded guilty to her murder after leading police to her body near the rugged Oregon coast.
Defendant Joel Courtney’s confession concluded one of the most publicized murder investigations in Oregon history.
