When Melissa Jubane, 32, didn’t show up for her morning shift at St. Vincent Hospital i Portland earlier this week, her co-workers, friends and neighbors were concerned because that behavior was unusual for the dedicated nurse.
They called police on September 4 at 10:18 a.m. and requested a welfare check. Beaverton officials said they arrived at Jubane’s apartment in the Portland suburb shortly thereafter.
Authorities searched the complex and searched her bank and credit cards, but Jubane was nowhere to be found. Her phone appeared to be switched off, police said, and efforts to reach her throughout the day were fruitless.
Police entered her details into the national missing person’s database. After an intensive three-day investigation, police said, they determined 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert was involved in her disappearance. Schubert lives in Beaverton and is Jubane’s neighbor in their apartment complex.
Police said they arrested Schubert and charged him with murder.
According to online records, Schubert is being held in Washington County, Oregon, on charges of second-degree murder. Police did not release further details about Schubert’s involvement in Jubane’s death.
Jubane’s remains have been recovered. The investigation is ongoing.
