I saw he is appearing at the hearing from jail. But will media be in the courtroom today?Nope. I wish...
ETA: Hopefully the media requests it.

Media is allowed.I saw he is appearing at the hearing from jail. But will media be in the courtroom today?
Based on the court entries, it looks like the arraignment has already been held. So, I dunno. I'd guess maybe he appeared via video.I saw he is appearing at the hearing from jail. But will media be in the courtroom today?
This is not true. I can access any floor I want in the building without use of a fob. Once you're in, you're in.The arraignment is in the Washington County jail courtroom.
Apparently, the fifth floor apartments were only accessible by a key fob for that floor only so that dramatically helped LE narrow down a digital foot print of the sp re the times both the sp and victim used their key fob. IMO
No, I don't think that's it. I think he's a stalker weirdo who was obsessed with her and murdered her. I suspect she was completely blindsided. It's such a tragedy. Maybe because I live here, I know the quality of student that attends University of Portland (a Catholic university), and Providence Hospital, also a Catholic healthcare provider. They are truly upstanding and quality institutions, and their students and employees are as well. From everything family and friends have shared she was an exceptional, caring person. She was in a 10 year relationship with her boyfriend before they recently married (a little over a week before her murder).Does anyone else wonder if maybe she and her neighbor had a side thing going on and that he was upset that she was actually going through with getting married bc maybe she was going to or did cut it off and he didnt want to lose that?
Im just trying to wrap my head around any sort of motive here on his end...weve seen it plenty of time where there is none but it just seems kind of unbelievable that he would have just done this without anything being somewhat personal in nature.
Been wrong before and certainly could be here but again just trying to think of how this would happen and just be a neighbor wanting to kill another neighbor out of the blue and so early in the morning...feels like there has to be some context/background to a relationship or something....
I didn't even know they had access to this - on the same day I found out she had gone missing, we had gotten an email from the leasing office that they were doing a system update for all the front door locks on the 5th floor. In a sense, I do like knowing when the door is being locked/unlocked.The electronic key data has proved very helpful in this case.
I’m guessing it also logged his door opening at a similar time to Melissa which would have made him prime suspect from day 1 - he probably didn’t realise the door system logged each time the internal apartment door opened
Nope. Not I. Some men don't need a real, or valid reason, or one that makes sense to others for why they do things of this sort. JMO!!!!Does anyone else wonder if maybe she and her neighbor had a side thing going on and that he was upset that she was actually going through with getting married bc maybe she was going to or did cut it off and he didnt want to lose that?
Not to me. There are so many random attacks and weirdness's in the world that these sorts of things don't have to have a sane reason. Again...

I've been on this site long enough to have the opinion that horrible things like this can just be random and a crime of opportunity. I find that extremely scary. I believe in the randomness because I've said for decades that I'm a weirdo magnet, and those weirdos weren't known to me. They were strangers and there were opportunities with me purely intersecting into their lives by me going about my business. So, while there may be more to this case than simply randomness and/or opportunity, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was just that. Opportunity.Been wrong before and certainly could be here but again just trying to think of how this would happen and just be a neighbor wanting to kill another neighbor out of the blue and so early in the morning...feels like there has to be some context/background to a relationship or something....
Thanks for your insight. You are probably correct and I'm just trying to make any sort of sense of this (which you cant any which way) because its absolutely terrible. I just keep thinking about how she was so happy and in paradise with loved ones...embarking on such an amazing point in her life and this guy stole that from her, her husband, family, colleagues, patients etc. just days after she returned...it's incomprehensible...for what??No, I don't think that's it.

I agree. Predators don't need a reason that makes sense to the rest of us. They see prey and strike, whether it is after stalking and watching or whether it's spur of the moment.Nope. Not I.

It seems like some have urges they can't control, and those urges get stronger with time until something snaps and they act. I wish I knew why some people did that sort of thing because I just find it extremely puzzling.
I bet he's a mama's boy and has little to no respect for women. I bet he has a history of narcissim, maybe even some depression and I think this is all related to control and sexual assault. Everyone says he looks so normal but to me, he looks off...
Exactly!!! You're right, it's incomprehensible, senseless and heartbreaking. I saw pictures and videos of their family gatherings, with 30+ people, smiling faces. A tight knit group, I can't fathom their heartache and disbelief.Thanks for your insight.

I'm sorry you are so close to this. How close is his unit to hers?I just remembered that we have a game room on the 5th floor - I believe that needs to be reserved, but that does require a fob to get in. I'd assume there is a camera in there as well. But in my opinion, I think they narrowed it down to him by pulling those front door logs. I also think the bloodhound indicated his unit, but they probably had to form a case. It makes sense why the detectives stuck around and why there was a BPD car here at all times. They probably kept an eye on him while doing all the paperwork and making sure. JMO. I didn't get to see any of it - I stuck to my floor because it scared me and it felt wrong to be a Lookie Lou.
Thank you, I was going to look back to your posts, as that’s what I thought you said. Hope all is going well witb you.This is not true. I can access any floor I want in the building without use of a fob. Once you're in, you're in.
