District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that a jury found Michael Bresnak (DOB 12/22/63), of Ventura, guilty of second-degree murder for killing Jeffrey Korber on March 22, 2011.

After murdering the victim, Bresnak kept his body hidden in a freezer at a storage unit for over two years. The case was initially investigated as a missing person but a tip to police from a confidential informant led to the discovery of the victim’s body in June 2013. Bresnak was first tried in early 2016, which resulted in an 11-1 hung jury in favor of guilt.

Jurors deliberated approximately two days before returning a guilty verdict on the sole count of second-degree murder. Bresnak faces the possibility of 18 years to life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled on February 7, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 25 of the Ventura Superior Court, County of Ventura.
