World Watch Brooke Wilberger on Dateline NBC

Brooke Wilberger, Ted Bundy, Joel Courtney. Brooke Wilberger was a beautiful girl who tragically lost her life to the hands of a man named Joel Courtney. Dateline aired Brooke Wilberger’s story tonight, and perhaps the most incredible part of the story is the fact that Brooke Wilberger’s mother was able to thank Joel Courtney for finally revealing where Brooke’s body was located after he took her life.

Brooke Wilberger was abducted from an apartment complex by Joel Courtney. He lured her to his car by asking her for help moving a package, but when she approached him, he held a knife to her and told her to get into the car. Sadly, Brooke’s life ended in a wooded area about 10 miles away from where she was taken.

In the ultimate fight for justice, Brooke’s mother and siblings made a deal with Joel Courtney. He was given life in prison in New Mexico in exchange for revealing where Brooke’s remains were located.

During a press conference after his conviction, Brooke Wilberger’s mother expressed gratitude towards Joel Courtney for finally bringing closure to her family on what happened to Brooke.

While the world watched, ‘Dateline NBC’ aired an episode about the kidnapping and murder of 19 year-old Brooke Wilberger.

Her murderer, Joel Courtney, 43, was the suspect in another kidnapping case in 2005, of a woman who miraculously escaped with her life, by another woman who saw her being abducted.

Courtney pled guilty to the kidnapping of the prior 22 year-old woman in New Mexico, and was hoping to not be extradited to Oregon for the murder of Wilberger. Cammy Wilberger, Brooke’s mother, was, incredibly thankful to Courtney for letting them know where the body was, and said as much to the amazement of the courtroom, when she and her family spoke to the criminal.

Much to his dismay, he was, but gave the Wilberger family the location of the body of Brooke to relieve himself of the death sentence, five years after the search for Brooke Wilberger began and with his capital murder trial just months away, Courtney pleaded guilty and confessed to her rape and murder.

He agreed to reveal the location of Wilberger’s body and detail what happened. His sister, Dina Courtney, only has a sorrowful heart, and gives her horrifying childhood details to lead investigator to Dateline’s Kate Snow, and the story also was collaborated with another of Dateline’s reporters in Oregon, Shane Bishop.
