Alarm Bells Ring After Newlywed Nurse Fails to Show Up for Work – Neighbor Arrested for Murder
Melissa Jubane, a 32-year-old nurse from Beaverton, Oregon, was recently found dead after being reported missing. Jubane had just returned from her wedding in Hawaii on August 24, 2024. Her disappearance prompted a multi-day search after she failed to report to work at Providence St. Vincent hospital. Police discovered her absence suspicious and began an investigation.
A neighbor, Bryce Schubert, 37, has been charged with her murder. Schubert lived in the same apartment complex as Jubane, and his behavior prior to his arrest raised concerns among neighbors. He had previously worked at Portland Providence Medical Center but did not work alongside Jubane.
The hospital expressed deep sorrow over Jubane’s death, highlighting her dedication as a nurse and the impact of her passing on her colleagues and the community. Police have confirmed that her remains have been recovered, solidifying the tragic outcome of this case.
A man who has been identified as a neighbor of a missing Oregon nurse has been charged with her murder.
Melissa Jubane, 32, had been the subject of a multi-day search after she did not report for work at Providence St. Vincent hospital in Portland, according to KPTV-TV.
Police were called.
“Upon arrival, officers were met by staff from the apartment complex and conducted a search of Melissa’s apartment. Melissa was not present, and her absence without communication was deemed unusual and alarming,” Beaverton police posted on Facebook.
“Efforts by officers and family members to contact Melissa throughout the day were unsuccessful, as her phone appeared to be turned off,” police said.
“Additionally, searches of Melissa’s bank and credit card records yielded no new information regarding her location,” the police post said.
Three days after the initial police summons, Bryce Schubert, 37, of Beaverton was arrested in connection with Jubane’s disappearance.
Neighbors told KPTV that Schubert lived down the hall from Jubane in the same apartment complex. Some neighbors said they thought the suspect had acted in a strange manner in the days before his arrest.
Schubert was jailed in a Washington County, Oregon, jail, on a charge of second-degree murder, according to CBS.
Jubane’s remains have been recovered, according to CNN.
Jubane had married her husband Bryan Llantero in Hawaii on Aug. 24, according to the New York Post.
Providence released a statement after police said Jubane was dead.
“Our hearts are broken at the news of the death of our Providence St. Vincent nurse and colleague, Melissa Jubane. This comes as a shock to us all and she is mourned by her co-workers. Melissa was an exceptional nurse, committed to our Providence Mission and daily demonstrating our values of compassion, excellence and integrity.”
“We stand in support of her loved ones and those who worked so closely with Melissa. We appreciate all the expressions of concern from the community. Melissa was a person of Providence, and we will miss her,” the statement said.
Schubert had been employed as a nurse by Portland Providence Medical Center from September 2022 to October 2023, but the hospital said he no longer works there, according to KATU-TV.
The hospital said he did not ever work at the same hospital as Jubane.
