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

So strange. It's been said any attempt to rehabilitate the perp would be unsuccessful (why?) and that releasing any info about the crime would compromise the investigation. Is there missing evidence? What would compromise the investigation so much that essentially NO info can be released? This is all unusual, imo.

jmo

Plus, we the public are not privy to anything that LE has while they are investigating. IMO

 

[Charlot123]

i don’t think it would be torture, wouldn’t they charge him with that if so? But the c word gives me shivers down my spine.

The only other thing i can think of is removing body parts while she was alive. This is really becoming downright gruesome. I don’t know what to think anymore. The fact he was a nurse now has me questioning his motivation for pursuing that particular career.

A surgical nurse…
But again, no one in his right mind would have thought of it. My grandpa was a surgeon, and what I saw in him, and some others, was the savior complex. Which is not difficult to get if you are a very good surgeon.
But to deconstruct a human means, as another WSer said in a different thread, being raving mad. Anyhow, it is horribly ugly.

I'm thankful this state holds info tightly so things don't get jeopardized before a jury is selected . Look at the Delphi case and how the general public threw out all these rumors and false info and the current clown show the trial is experiencing. The Idaho 4 is another case where the public messed up the investigation. JMO

And yet juries are successfully seated across the US in cases with media exposure. You chose to quote two extremely high profile examples. How exactly did the public mess up the actual investigations? Shouldn’t that be attributed to LE?

I agree this level of withholding information is very odd, in light of stating Bryce is incapable of being rehabilitated.

 

[Tricia]

Please agree to disagree and move on.
Thank you.

I don’t know why, but when I read the description, I thought maybe he cut/removed her eyes prior to killing her. That would certainly be a permanent injury even if he hadn’t killed her. Then my mind wandered to various sexually related injuries he may have inflicted prior to killing her.

Her earthly pain and suffering is over, and I pray she rests in peace. I pray those who loved her find peace in the coming days/weeks/months/years. Some people simply do not belong in society.

 

[everyoneblooms]

IMO
Death is ultimate permanent injury.

i do not think this is what they mean, though. sounds like he maimed her quite severely before killing her and she, tragically, suffered. very devastating case.

 

[everyoneblooms]

He SEEMS like clean-cut young man, not a stereotypical criminal, let alone a criminal beyond rehabilitation. I don't think I've ever encountered that phrase before on WS. It's incredibly strong.

What the heck happened??

Dahmer and Bundy looked like clean cut young men, too...

Evil ppl are in every occupation. I said it earlier, I think it was over kill. I don't believe the cannibalism theory at all. He killed her with rage and he couldn't stop. JMO

Bryce was a nurse too, is what I am gathering?

Yes, there are very bad nurses out there (way more good ones than bad). What I think is that the bad ones do it for the power over another's life (they find that intoxicating) as well as social recognition and to feel superior to others. It can also help them blend in or get away with things when called out for any problematic behaviors. “I’d never do X, I’m a nurse!” They love playing the hero. Like Lucy Letby.

 

[Sundog]

Even though they worked at different health care providers and locations, they likely knew each other were both nurses, seeing each other in nursing clothing in the complex or parking lot. She may not have noticed him, but he obviously had his eyes on her.

Just catcthing up on this tragic case and not sure if this has been discussed.

Not only that but his apartment was kitty-corner to hers. She had to pass it every time she left her apartment for something. Work, shopping, taking the dog for a walk, to/from her car, etc. So I'm assuming they at least knew each other on at least a "Good morning" level when passing in the hall. I didn't know my neighbors well at all when I lived in the same apartment 13 years (doors on the outside all in a row), but I at least said hello or some such thing when passing by them.

Public records show that Melissa lived in apt 513, and Bryce in apt 520, which is kitty-corner from his apartment. Due to this she had to walk past his apt multiple times a day to get to the garage, or the stairs, etc.

I was also thinking of the same, but maybe on one side?

Either it was something that was sadistic and indicated that he was beyond redemption or, they have seen a body with a similar injury and can not link it to BS but suspect it is not the first case. “High chance to re-offend” either means, that the man was enjoying it too much or, that there are indications of a serial offence.

The pool! Melissa probably liked to swim. Either he did, too, and this is how he got obsessed, or maybe he could watch the pool from his apartment?

P.S. no offense, but Melissa was one of many nurses in the hospital. A pool, or a gym, is a much more “fertile ground” to breed an obsession. Is there a ball court there, too?

@fleetwoodmac will have to answer if there's a ball court there. She is our VI in this thread as she lives in the same building as they did.

If you scroll through the pics on the amenities page... you'll get a better idea of what things look like there in all the pubic spaces. There's a media room, coffee bar, etc. Many places to run into each other at the complex. Plus, they would park on the same floor. What I don't know is if they have reserved parking spaces. If so, likely they would be near each other since their apartments are kitty-corner from each other.

@fleetwoodmac would know the answer to that too. Gotta get her to earn her badge of honor! lol

 

[sunflowermomma]

This story reminds me a bit of Lauren Giddings. Both law students... A neighbor, obsessed...

However, her killer actually looked crazy! This guy, this man that killed poor Melissa, he looked normal... nice... Both nurses... I think we will find that he was obsessed.

MOO...I don't get the stalking vibe from this case but I could be completely wrong. For some reason I feel like she wronged him in his eyes which led to the violent attack. Did she report him for something in their complex - sexual harassment at the pool, noise, unwelcome guests, etc, and he felt the need to "get her back"? Just speculating and obviously I don't think there's anything she could have done that would ever warrant this unfathomable crime.

Was he jealous of her success and dedication as a nurse and the admiration she received from others? And also her success in relation to her recent marriage and all the happiness that ensued from that recent celebration and trip. She had it all, in his mind, and he had failed as a nurse (sounds like he left nursing about a year ago for whatever reason - personal or employment-related) and also was no longer living with his girlfriend. Jealousy and internal rage at his own failures and her success as motive? Also, I read in a post on this thread that BS's girlfriend worked at the same hospital as Melissa. If that is the case, then BS would be able to hear about how well-liked Melissa was as an employee and fellow nurse and her sucess in her profession.

Just some additional thoughts on possible motive.

3 New Disturbing Details in Newlywed Nurse's Murder: ‘Deliberately Cruel’​

This video is 15 minutes long but if you start at about the 7:30 minute mark, there is a good discussion with a former prosecutor about what could be meant by each of the sentencing enhancement factors. She says there is something here that happened that is especially heinous and gruesome. Regarding the weapon used "that posed a threat of actual violence," she says that's something that's very telling, something that says whatever weapon was used was used in a manner that's not traditionally used in most homicides or it's something that we don't often see used at all in crimes. She thinks Melissa was kidnapped and that there were things that took place "some kind of torture" which ultimately led to her death. She is asked about why the PCA is still sealed. The reporter mentions at about 14:22 in that Melissa's dad referred to BS on FB as a stalker.

This has me wondering if the weapon was some kind of surgical instrument. MOO

This is an interesting thought. Even as a surgical nurse, he could be assisting at certain types of surgeries. I would like to know what his preference was, ophthalmic, OBGYN, general, something else?
I mean, who can even guess what sick fantasies enter a human’s mind? Perhaps he was getting excited from some procedures, and then acted on it?
It would seem amateurish, abducting a neighbor and not even bothering to hide her well. So there must have been something that raised impulsivity (substances?). Or just something badly twisted in his brain.

On the other hand, if he wanted to “punish” her, he could use anything, a dog’s leash comes to mind. It is about the anger and degree of force that he used. And, as I suspect, sadism. This is why they believe he is beyond rehabilitation. They probably saw the degree of sadistic enjoyment that was very tellling.

My first thought reading this was something surgical or medical too. But not sure that would necessarily lead to such a dire statement that he is irredeemable, unless it's because he's a nurse using medical equipment to torture and therefore unworthy of the trust patients and public put in nurses?

Or, maybe, if he was a stalker (which I think he was), he used medical equipment as a nurse against another nurse, as a very personal insult as well as murder. ?

IDK, just thinking aloud, speculating, pondering.

We're still missing big parts of the story.
