Found Deceased OR - Melissa Marie Jubane, 32, Beaverton, 4 September 2024 *Arrest*

[scapa]

Any ideas as to why the judge would agree to seal the affidavit for the search warrant and summary of evidence? Since it is sealed, does that typically mean it would remain sealed until an actual trial or is it likely it would be unsealed before then?

Do we know if a grand jury has returned an indictment yet? If not, how soon might that be? Could waiting on that be the reason the judge sealed the arrest affidavit and evidence list?

Not sure why in this case specifically, beyond the usual "might compromise the investigation," since both perp and victim have been located and are in safe custody. In cases where there's significant exploitation of a victim where public details involve minors and/ or are likely extremely distressing or even harmful to survivors we seem to see it also, and whilst redaction is always possible there will no doubt be those who make efforts to guess at redacted material, and so on.

IMO only, but it feels like we're seeing affidavits for PC etc sealed far more regularly of late, often without explanation, and staying that way until / unless a media or other agency brings a case to unseal.

Maybe it's all about ducks in a row, but cases like Sandra Birchmore in MA and quite a few others seem to me compelling arguments for transparency -- though it's very early days for this case, so perhaps we see changes as the state is confident that they've exhausted investigative avenues.

... All of which is the milk-run way of saying "I've got no idea, guv!"

IMO, MOO, etc,

<modsnip - quoted post was snipped> He had/has a girlfriend...and an attractive one at that!

I'm a guy. I will say that tales of a long distance BF are not always convincing. I'm not defending him, just saying that if she kept the apartment for job convenience her BF may not have been there much if at all. This could have given him hope if he had an infatuation. He could have snapped when she showed up with a wedding ring!

As they say in my mother country, let’s separate the jam from the flies.

1) about the relationship with her husband-to-be. It was a long one, but it is not at all relevant for the case. Moreover, when Bryce graduated from his nursing program, Melissa’s relationship was by no means a long-distance one. She and her fiancée started planning the wedding 1.5 years ago. Also, with her husband being deployed in WA, I assume he was hardly an absent figure in Melissa’s life. Rather, the opposite. He was visiting her in Oregon, or she’d likely go to her home state, Washington, where she grew up and her parents lived, on weekends. Either way, if Bryce was unaware of her situation, it just means he didn’t know her at all, that there was no connection save for living across the hall. The whole hospital knew of Melissa’s forthcoming dream wedding, and BS was unaware?

2) nowhere in the scenario do I see this guy, BS, in the cards. Why him? Just because he was a neighbor? Probably a recent one, and chances are, Melissa started planning her wedding when this guy just graduated from his nursing program. Theirs are totally different life tracks that cross over due to the proximity of their doors in these apartments. He got obsessed with her? His problem, not her fault. He had a family, he was earning money, he could have worked through this.

3) in general, it shouldn’t have mattered at all. Imagine that Melissa were single, working in Oregon and having a family in Washington. Would it have given Bryce more right to attack her? He had no right either way. Melissa was not Bryce’s property, she was a married neighbor and I feel horribly sorry for her widower and her family. Her father’s words broke my heart. I am very glad that they have the dignity to stay away from all these insinuations.

<modsnip - quoted post was snipped> Obviously having a girlfriend had no bearing on him deciding to murder this young woman.

How do you know her move was imminent? I've only heard she was looking for a job there.

Melissa Jubane and Bryce Schubert: What we know about Oregon nurse’s death, neighbor accused of killing her

A more detailed picture of what allegedly happened is becoming clearer, days after Beaverton police accused Melissa Jubane’s neighbor of murdering her.

www.oregonlive.com

"Llantero’s mother, IL, told the news station that Jubane was planning to get a job in the Bremerton area so she and her husband could live together."

I would not be surprised if Melissa’s body was found in his apartment.
Do we know what time it was when LE first tried to speak to him?
Wouldn’t LE have to have a warrant to search his apartment.
Just because they announced at 3 am that her body had been found, it may have been found at the same time he was arrested.Surely they would have let her family know first?

I would think that if she was found in his apartment, there would be more witnesses (residents and/or media) posting about a Crime Scene team being there at the building and Melissa being removed.

 

[freefallzzzz]

The article I read today, said her apartment is five miles from the hospital and she started work at 7:00 AM. Would it take 20 minutes to go that far? Must be very heavy traffic in the area.

That time of morning it would take around 15 minutes. You also want to allow time incase there is slowing on the highway due to crashes.
The employee parking lot is on the north side of the hospital as well, so it's a bit of a walk to get to the Heart Clinic

 

[truthfinder2019]

Specific details of Jubane’s death remain unclear, but officials confirmed Tuesday that she was killed on the same day as her disappearance.

https://www.koin.com/news/crime/melissa-jubane-nurse-murder-neighbor-arrested-09102024-court-appearance-details/

From the above article as well

According to a Providence spokesperson, Schubert had been “briefly employed” as a Providence Portland Medical Center nurse from September 2022 to October 2023. It’s unclear what led to his leaving the hospital system in October 2023.

As prosecution, I would certainly look into that as well…

There's also a lot of road construction going on in the area - sometimes you have to sit through multiple changes of the traffic lights around the Nike campus.

Yes, but "planning to get a job" is not the same as "moving within 2 weeks" as was stated.

When I did a yahoo map on it it was less than 15 min, but I didn't pull up the driving directions at 6:30am, and I think Goog maps adjusts for the time of day. IOW... checking a trip at 4am would be quicker than during the commute hour. At least I think that's how it works. And since I'm not awake at 6:30am to pull up driving directions.... I'm going with between 12-20+ minutes at that hour. I saw 12-14 min when I checked the commute the other day (and it was mid-day when I checked).

She might have skipped Hwy 26 and took Cedar Hills Blvd to Barnes Rd where the hospital is. Much quicker at that time in the morning to get to work quickly. JMO

Wait, how do we know she worked at the heart clinic?

It's been stated before that she was a cardiac nurse.

As @Oregonmama said, it has been mentioned in some articles.

https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/timeline-melissa-jubanes-final-days-disappearance-death-investigation/

"Beaverton law enforcement did not release many details in the ongoing investigation during the day. Providence confirmed Jubane’s employment as a cardiac nurse at St. Vincent Medical Center."

<modsnip - sleuthing family>

I myself never read a about two weeks, could it have been deduced from her lease terms?

<modsnip - sleuthing family> However, Washington is a more expensive state than Oregon. There is no doubt Melissa would have found a job as a nurse, but everything, starting with the commute, is more complicated in WA than in Oregon. Where you drive out of Bremerton onto I-5, you are in Tacoma, a huge bottleneck. As a total outsider to the story, I can see her plan would be to move to her husband and her family, but the logistics would probably take some time, especially for a planning, organized young newlywed. On the other hand, she could be waiting for the servicemen housing, while continuing to work in Beaverton, 15-20 minutes away from her hospital, with her brother nearby, and deciding on how to start family planning, as many women do. JMO. I can see the situation from the standpoint of “problems starting a family in Washington.”

You never know with traffic and road construction in the area. A lot of us in the area will even avoid the freeway/highways and take general roads knowing it will be quicker and more reliable despite what the map is saying. Source: live and work in Beaverton and surrounding area. Also, as a nurse myself, you try to get to work a bit before your shift starts to see your patient assignment, get your bearings, ect. The off-going shift is ready to give you report at 7am sharp so based on her door closing when it did, would allow plenty of time.

As an Oregon nurse can you shed some light on how long it takes after graduation with a BSN before you can be hired as a nurse? Is it immediate or is there a state exam or something to study for and pass before getting a license? I'm asking because it may be relevant to some timelines I am putting together.

Regarding commute time, I googled it for next Wednesday morning leaving Melissa's apartment at 6:30 AM and it said 9-16 minutes. Of course I'd trust you as a local over google but I wanted to see what it said.
