Searching For Brook
The immediate search for Brooke started on that same day she went missing. Apparently, this was not the traditional routine for the Corvallis Police Department. Lt. Ron Noble said, “Normally, we would wait. Because adults can come and go as they please, and we would normally wait to see if she showed up maybe the next day.” But the slippers, and the fact that the family was hugely concerned and had said that this was not a regular behavior for Brooke, they decided to start right away.
Where Could She Be?
The amazing church family of the Wilberger’s formed a huge search party with hundreds of Corvallis residents and scoured various areas. They began in the areas near the apartments and ventured further out. Cammy Wilberger, Brooke’s mom had even said, “The community of Corvallis was wonderful. That first night they had hundreds of people helping search. Our church organized it, but everyone in the community filled in.” Sadly for everyone involved, at the end of the night, Brooke was still nowhere to be found.
