(Portland, Oregon-AP) -- Oregon prosecutors say significant evidence links a Tigard man to the disappearance of a 19-year-old Brigham Young University and his alibi is far from iron-clad.
They made the statements in an affidavit filed today. The affidavit was in response to papers filed by a lawyer for Sung Koo Kim, a suspect in Brooke Wilberger's disappearance.
In those papers, attorney Janet Lee Hoffman said her client was at his Tigard home when Wilberger vanished from a Corvallis apartment complex.
Hoffman said the 30-year-old Kim spent the morning making online stock trades via Ameritrade, then went shopping with his father.
Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said in his affidavit that the drive between Corvallis and Tigard is only about an hour and 20 minutes.
He also said that the stock trades were done on the computer of Kim's sister, Jung Kim, and that she has refused to take a polygraph test.
Schrunk said the first confirmed appearance of Kim at the store was nearly three hours after Wilberger disappeared.
