Beaverton Police continue search for missing 32-year-old nurse: 'Highly unusual case'
The search continues for missing Beaverton woman Melissa Jubane, whose disappearance police are calling highly unusual.

Jubane, 32, a Resident Nurse at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, was reported missing on Wednesday.

When she did not arrive for her shift at Providence that day, her concerned coworkers swiftly got in contact with law enforcement. Police issued a public call for help shortly after.

Official details as released by police have been sparse - but in an on-the-record conversation with KATU, Beaverton Police Officer Henderson called this a "highly unusual case" and said that they are using "all available resources" to try to find her.

Officers began a canvas of Jubane's apartment building Thursday night, and say they spoke to every single neighbor.

Tracking bloodhounds were used as well - but as of Friday morning, nothing had turned up.

Friday morning also saw a public search party gather in Beaverton to search for Jubane.

More than three dozen people, many who didn't even know Melissa, showed up to look for her.

"Melissa was, she was a really, I’m sorry She was a very helpful person. She loved helping people. She had a really big heart. No matter the situation, or what it was, she was always willing to help people. She loved her family, she loved her friends, she loved her dog. I just can’t describe her, she’s such a great friend, she’s always been a great friend," said a tearful Smantha Oregon, an organizer for the search.

Beaverton Police have a new tipline for people to call: 503-526-2280,as well as a digital portal to submit evidence to.
 

Nurse at St. Vincent missing since Wednesday; Beaverton police ask public for help, call case 'unusual'​

The Beaverton Police Department is asking the public for help as it searches for a missing woman in a case a police spokesperson called "unusual."

Melissa Jubane, 32, is a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. She didn't show up to work Wednesday morning and hasn't been seen since, police said.

On Thursday, officers searched Baseline 158, the apartment complex where Jubane lives, located at 1050 Southwest 160th Avenue in Beaverton. A police spokesperson said officers went door to door and they used a bloodhound during the search. Police are hoping to talk to all residents in the building. Police and detectives will be back at the apartment complex on Friday to continue the investigation.

A community-organized search at the apartment complex started Friday at 7 a.m., with many of Jubane's co-workers from St. Vincent participating in the search. Close to two dozen people were out looking for Jubane Friday morning.

Samantha Oregon and Vianca Urias, both former co-workers with Jubane, are helping lead the community search effort. They told KGW there's another search planned for tonight and they expect more co-workers to show up.

"We're trying to support her family as much as we can and do our part, but I think getting the help from the community is really helping," Urias said.

Both talked about Jubane and the quality of person she is.

"She's just a ball of joy," Oregon said. "She was always happy, you know. Whenever I had rough days, she would bring me back."

"She has an amazing soul," Urias said.

Matt Henderson, public information officer for the Beaverton Police Department, called the case "unusual," though he didn't go into further detail. He said the department is putting all its effort into finding Melissa.

Beaverton police has created an independent tip line and website for this case. Henderson said no tip is too small and they're looking for digital evidence, like photos and videos.

Oregon said she hopes people will come forward with information.

"If you see something, say something," she said. "No matter how small the detail may be. Even it it seems silly, you don't know, that might help us out."

Boy from the first post and get go, the organizer friend is talking all past tense as if she's dead and apparently has no hope.
 
Call it unusual but never say why.

Just in case, since I had not, I went in and read both links and there is nothing more there to suggest a single thing, whether voluntarily missing, car, not like her or is like her, abducted, a bad relationship, nothing.

So I really don't get the constant "unusual[' remark nor the co workers number of past tense words as if she's definitely gone/dead.

Praying she is found safe but there's not a thing here to even think she is involuntarily missing. Nothing. Or abducted. Or dead. Nothing.

Simply it is emphasized this is an unusual case with no explanation and a coworker apparently thinks her dead re all the past tense use.

They are searching in the area? I mean can they even tell anyone if she had a car or if the car was at home?

I'll say what's unusual and what is unusual is the lack of even basic facts here like those. Last time seen? Anything?

Yah, I guess a bit irritated, sorry. Why even report such lack of anything... There aren't even lines to read between except "it's" a very unusual case and the coworker I guess is convinced she's dead. Why? Who knows.
 
UNCONFIRMED/RUMOR via Facebook - She and her new husband were not living together, and he was on base several hours away when she disappeared. Also her door was locked at 6:30 am but her car never left the parking lot. It appears her apartment may have keyless entry / entry with a fob that can record each lock and unlock.
 

Kalihi man’s wife missing in Oregon​

She married her boyfriend of 10 years on Aug. 24, and had a ceremony with family and friends at Waimea Valley on Aug. 25.

Her husband is from Kalihi, and family members here at home are pleading for help in the search, and for anyone with information to come forward.

“She is very humble, she’s very pretty, she’s smart, she’s very intelligent, and very respectful,” said her mother-in-law back in Hawaii. “She’s like a daughter to me, she’s very close to me.”

The husband’s mother told KHON2 that the couple met about 10 years ago when Jubane was visiting Hawaii with her friends from Washington.

From there, Jubane and him would travel back and forth to see each other.

She said the couple flew home from the wedding on Aug. 31, but didn’t land until the early morning hours of Sept. 1.

From there, the newlyweds enjoyed Labor Day off, and on Tuesday Jubane went to work. But when she didn’t show up on Wednesday, her co-workers grew concerned.

Beaverton police said they searched her apartment complex Wednesday night and used a blood hound to search the property. They spoke to residents and found that she has made no phone calls and has not used her credit cards.

Police have not found any leads so far.

The husband’s family has flown out there to be by his side and assist in any way possible.
 
I'd be looking into what life insurance policies existed....

But then I'm cynical and do not believe in coincidence and timing...

In ten years they never married? Not unheard of. I'll leave it there... Not enough to know...
 

Remains of missing nurse Melissa Jubane found, neighbor arrested: Police​

The remains of a Providence nurse who reported missing after not showing up to work on Wednesday have been found and her neighbor has been charged with her murder, according to authorities.

Beaverton police say that as a result of an “extensive investigation,” 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert was arrested on Friday and has been charged in the murder of 32-year-old Melissa Jubane.
 
Wow another neighbor one... Like the one in Cali was... Going to guess different reasons though. But who knows. Not much info here yet.
 
Neighbor arrested and charged with murder of Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane
The man accused of killing Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane was a nurse at another Portland hospital, Providence confirms to KATU News.

Bryce Schubert worked at Portland Providence Medical Center from September 2022 to October 2023. Providence says Providence does not employ Schubert at this time and has never been employed at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, where Melissa Jubane worked.

Beaverton Police announced early Saturday morning that “one of Melissa’s neighbors, 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert of Beaverton was involved in her disappearance. Subsequently, Schubert was arrested this evening and charged with Melissa’s murder. Melissa Jubane’s remains have been recovered,” Beaverton Police said. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community members who have assisted with the search for Melissa. Our deepest condolences go out to Melissa’s family, friends, and coworkers.”

According to jail documents obtained by KATU News, Shubert is being charged with murder in the second degree. He remains in custody at the Washington County Jail in Hillsboro.
 

Newlywed nurse’s accused killer appears in Oregon court​

Bryce Johnathan Schubert, 27, was arraigned in Washington County Circuit Court on Monday to face charges of kidnapping, murder and corpse abuse in the death of Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane.

Schubert, who has been held at Washington County Jail since his arrest late Friday, actually wasn’t visible to anyone but the judge and court officials at the front of the courtroom. And it’s unclear if he was visible to them by video screen or in a holding cell with a glass window at the front of the courtroom. Officials declined to answer questions.

Schubert’s public defender, Greg Scholl, said his client pleads not guilty. But Judge Elizabeth Lemoine, without explanation, said she could not accept the plea. Court procedures, however, don’t allow defendants in felony cases to enter their pleas before a grand jury has issued an indictment, and in this case, a grand jury has not.


Monday’s arraignment was attended by both supporters of Jubane and Schubert. Both groups declined to comment, except one man who identified himself as a supporter of Schubert and said he didn’t believe the accusations against him.

No new information about the case was aired during the hearing. In court papers, Washington County Chief Deputy District Attorney Jeff Lesowski asked the judge to seal documents that would reveal further details of the case, including the application for a search warrant affidavit, a summary of evidence police found after they conducted the search and a document outlining the probable cause police believed they had to arrest Schubert.

Schubert’s next hearings are Tuesday and next week. He was found financially eligible for a public defender, meaning the state likely will pay the bulk of the cost to defend him. But Schubert was found financially capable of at least initially paying up to about $8,000 to put toward his attorney.

He will remain in jail, with no opportunity to post bail.

Excuse me? I’m a tax-paying citizen in this state and I want to know what’s going on! Why all the secrecy? This doesn’t make me comfortable at all.

No kidding. It seems to be all we see any longer at least with the cases here that a handful of us follow, constantly sealed these days, every single one, some states worse than others by far and doing it every single case and time it seems like. IDAHO big time. Lots got dumped in that one but NOT by the prosecution team but by Gilbert PD and other places, Chandler I believe and more.

Kohberger also, lots of sealing.

Then though one has Florida and Soto and with their open records laws, a FLOOD of stuff from FOIA requests has come out and is still coming AND he was arrested and charged with tons but the cases are barely underway and all this info is coming out.

I disagree with the secrecy and say it every single time and have been for some time now. I agree with your post. 100 percent. All it does is breed suspicion, look like there is something to hide and makes if anything, speculation worse, than having the actual facts.
 

New details revealed of Melissa Jubane’s death as suspect appears in court​

Just one week after the sudden disappearance of Melissa Jubane, court records are filling in details of what happened to the newlywed nurse.

Co-workers reported Jubane was missing shortly after she missed her shift at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center on Wednesday, Sept. 4 – prompting a search that ended the following Friday when her body was found.

Specific details of Jubane’s death remain unclear, but officials confirmed Tuesday that she was killed on the same day as her disappearance.


Schubert made his first court appearance virtually on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He then physically stepped into court for the first time on Tuesday.


The suspect’s next court appearance will be at a preliminary hearing on Monday, Sept. 16.
 
Other than she missed her shift and went missing shortly after, even in reading the article, I don't see any other new details. Not sure who they know she went missing shortly after missing it instead of before but regardless, just saying that's not much for new details. Wasn't her missing her shift already known? Can't recall.

I thought maybe there would be more in the article is all I mean and just saying there wasn't. That seems to be about it.

Glad she was found and there's an arrest. Do wonder about the motive.
 
Man now charged with 1st-degree murder in Melissa Jubane's killing; pleads not guilty
A Washington County grand jury has indicted a man accused of killing 32-year-old Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane on a charge of first-degree murder, increasing the charge from second-degree murder, according to a new indictment released Monday.

Bryce Schubert, 27, is also charged withfirst-degree kidnapping and second-degree abuse of a corpse.

Schubert pleaded not guilty to all charges during his court arraignment Monday. He appeared via video feed from the Washington County jail.


Authorities have released few details about the case and the court sealed a probable cause affidavit, which would give more details.

The district attorney's office said Monday it is common for such court documents to be sealed in murder and high-profile cases.

Schubert is being held without bail.
 

Man accused of killing Beaverton nurse was ‘deliberately cruel,’ DA says​

Prosecutors are seeking a more severe sentence against the man accused of murdering a Beaverton nurse, according to recently released court documents.

In a court filing by the Washington County District Attorney’s Office dated Oct. 17, the prosecution asks for a jury to find an enhanced sentence. An enhanced sentence is a longer or more severe punishment for a crime due to certain circumstances.

Court documents allege that Schubert was “deliberately cruel” to the victim while carrying out the crime, used a weapon causing permanent injury, and that future efforts to rehabilitate him would not be successful. The documents argue that an enhanced sentence is needed to protect the public.

Schubert’s next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 18.
