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