Brooke Carol Wilberger (born February 20, 1985 in Fresno, California) is a woman who was abducted from Corvallis, Oregon on the morning of May 24, 2004. A freshman at Brigham Young University in Utah, she was cleaning lamp posts in the parking lot of the Oak Park Apartments on the edge of the Oregon State University campus while on summer break at the time of her disappearance.

In Fall 2004, Wilberger was falsely impersonated on the MySpace website. The perpetrator of the hoax claimed that she had been found and was interested in dating again. The profile was quickly taken down, either by MySpace or by the individual involved.

On March 1, 2005, a "person of interest" in the disappearance, Sung Koo Kim, was granted bail of US$2.4 million. He was later ruled out as a suspect. In August 2005 Joel Courtney of New Mexico was charged on 19 counts of aggravated murder, kidnapping, rape and sodomy regarding her disappearance. Her body has not yet been found.
