BEAVERTON, Ore. - Police in Oregon have arrested and charged a man for the murder of his neighbor, who worked as a nurse and was reported missing.
Beaverton Police said on September 4, they were asked to do a welfare check for 32-year-old Melissa Jubane, who worked as a nurse at St. Vincent Hospital in SW Portland.
Employees said she had not reported for her early morning shift.
Officers then went to Jubane's apartment and conducted a search but could not find her.
Family and friends also told officers that Jubane had not been communicating, which seemed unusual and alarming. Searches on Jubane's bank and credit card statements did not provide any additional details.
Later that day, Jubane was considered a missing person.
Police said through their investigation, they arrested Jubane's neighbor, 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert, believing he was involved in her disappearance.
He was arrested and charged with her murder after Jubane's remains were recovered.
"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." police wrote on their Facebook page.
