When they say "neighbors" I'm assuming they spoke with everybody on the 5th floor. They approached me while I was walking my dog next to our building, but I haven't been home when they knocked on doors. They did walk through the garage to see if they could talk to anybody. There were about 12 of them out here yesterday morning around 7:30 am, I found it really strange as I had no clue they were detectives. They were all holding clipboards and I was wondering what was up with that.

That's concerning. I hope they're more organized than it sounds like they are! Based on what you've said, it seems like it'd have been possible for someone to grab her in the garage, put her in a vehicle, and leave.
 
I'm just sharing what I heard from others in the building, but apparently LE has a suspected lead. It's not friends/family. Not saying this is true or fact. Just something I heard. <modsnip>

It seems odd to me that LE are not on TV asking for help, tips etc. Does that usually mean that they have a pretty good lead already?

I’ve had similar thoughts, and total speculation but it would be my guess what you suggest is likely. I also think they would be asking for more direct searches or known sightings, or asking for info from those who know Melissa if they didn’t already have a somewhat solid lead or idea of what happened.
I also think the family and husband not making statements aside from saying they do not want to interfere with the active investigation could potentially be a clue that they all have a bit more info than is being publicly released.
Again- all complete speculation and opinion.

They both have prior addresses and/or family in WA, so it seems reasonable to me.
And I've found reason to believe it's navy, not army. And that also fits with the city I saw listed in Washington.

Except it's nowhere near six hours, unless I-5 traffic is really, really REALLY bad!

Well, depending on how people drive. And if it is that city in WA that i am thinking of, then nearby traffic is one huge bottleneck. But technically, yes, about three hours.

All i can say, I don’t know them, but I wish her family, her husband and his family patience and strength. Must be a horrible time, searching and waiting.
 
I lived in her area for nearly 30 years, up until last October. I wonder if she was a runner, especially before work. Nike World Headquarters is across the road from her. I used to go running on a path that runs very, very close to her apartment, as well as running on the Nike campus itself. There is always someone running around, but I would run at 5:30 in the morning, so I was cognizant to always be out closer to busy roads and not stick to the path that early. I never had an issue with anyone. The path is called Powerline Trail. It runs for a few miles, somewhat desolate if it is early morning. Plus there is a wooded area across from Nike on Jenkins/Baseline that a trail runs through and a lot of Nike employees run through there, usually in groups as it is pretty dense woods and there used to be a homeless camp years ago. Since her car was there and I think I heard the front door was locked, it would make sense she left on foot, either for a walk or a run and then something happened to her. The neighborhood is nice, mostly apartments and a few upscale long term hotels. Nike, of course. Nike World Headquarters looks like a college campus. (Hubby has worked there since 1987.) Quite beautiful, so nice looking business parks surround the area.

I didn't know her, but she went to a Catholic church nearby and I have a lot of friends who go to that church and some know her.

If that was her leaving the apartment at 6:30, it seems too late to be going out running if you have to be at work at 7:00 am.

If she felt she was being stalked or such, her brother is in the area and would certainly be available. Her husband is really only about 3 hours drive away if she really needed him and he could get an emergency leave.

I think whatever happened, she was surprised that morning and it was just around that very tight timeframe of 6:30. I sure hope there is good video and that she can be found quickly.
 
The husband’s mother told KHON2 that the couple met about 10 years ago when Jubane was visiting Hawaii with her friends from Washington.

From there, Jubane and him would travel back and forth to see each other.

She said the couple flew home from the wedding on Aug. 31, but didn’t land until the early morning hours of Sept. 1.

From there, the newlyweds enjoyed Labor Day off, and on Tuesday Jubane went to work. But when she didn’t show up on Wednesday, her co-workers grew concerned.

Beaverton police said they searched her apartment complex Wednesday night and used a blood hound to search the property. They spoke to residents and found that she has made no phone calls and has not used her credit cards.

 
Beaverton resident here. Our city's police department is fully staffed, well supported and professional. I am sure they have all hands on deck investigating this young woman's disappearance. It is certainly in an unusual property/area for this to happen.

So this sounds as though the couple returned to Beaverton together from Hawaii and spent Monday, Sept 2 together. She then went to work on Tuesday Sept 3 as scheduled.

So did her husband fly or drive back to his base in WA on Monday or Tuesday?
 
The KHON article I linked above says LE used bloodhounds to search the property. Did they search all five floors (hallways, public areas) of the apartment building or just the exterior?

That same article describes when they arrived home from Hawaii & when Melissa went back to work, but does not mention her husband. The natural flow would be to include that same information about him. There wouldn't need to be details of where he works, just when he went back - it's puzzling why he isn't mentioned. I'm NOT intimating anything, just an observation.

It sounds like Melissa may have worked twelve hour shifts (7-7). I bet she was pooped after work Tuesday, her first day back. Wish we knew details of what transpired between the time she got off Tuesday night at 7 PM - 6:30 AM when the door record occurs. Less than a twelve hour timeframe. No one has mentioned her cell phone and in all the comments I've seen in various places. I've seen no one mention talking to her that night. Only that she seemed normal at work that day.

I'm glad to hear this. Is there still a forensics vehicle at the complex?
Click to expand...
I haven't seen any forensics vehicle - the last time I saw that it was 1.5ish years ago when a young woman was murdered by her husband. So I associate forensics with a crime scene, but I could be totally wrong! I'm unsure if a crime has been declared in this case. Right now, we have a Beaverton PD car outside, and part of the search party going around the building.

I agree. It might be helpful to know when he departed from the apartment. And there is no mention of whether she talked to him when she returned to the apartment from work, or if they texted and communicated the morning she seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it's not considered important, but it's just one of those LE omissions that seem odd.

I think the other things that occur to me: They had been gone for about two weeks. Did she go to the grocery store by herself Tuesday night? Did she go pick up food or get a food delivery Tuesday night? Did she do laundry? Is there documentation she returned to the apartment and slept there Tuesday night or did she disappear earlier on Tuesday? I truly hope there is a quick answer for everyone.
