She married her boyfriend of 10 years on Aug. 24, and had a ceremony with family and friends at Waimea Valley on Aug. 25.
Her husband is from Kalihi, and family members here at home are pleading for help in the search, and for anyone with information to come forward.
“She is very humble, she’s very pretty, she’s smart, she’s very intelligent, and very respectful,” said her mother-in-law back in Hawaii. “She’s like a daughter to me, she’s very close to me.”
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.
Police have not found any leads so far.
The husband’s family has flown out there to be by his side and assist in any way possible.
Friends have also started a search party on Friday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Beaverton Police Detectives Division at 503-526-2280 and reference case number 24-2480460. People can also report anonymous tips and evidence here.
Investigators describe Jubane as 5’2” and 120 pounds.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are playing the blame game when it comes to the federal government shutdown.
KOIN 6 News Political Director Ken Boddie received reactions from two congressmen. Congressman Cliff Bentz, the only Republican in the Oregon delegation, and Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley shared their differing views on the stalemate and how it can come to an end.
Merkley said 210,000 Oregon children and 130,000 Oregon seniors will see a pause in their SNAP benefits because of the government shutdown. More than 700,000 Oregonians will be affected overall.
Merkley said the president is playing politics with Americans’ health by not activating a $5 billion contingency fund or using tariff revenue to fill the gap.
“I mean, who in the United States says, ‘I’m going to make sure children go hungry for a month as a political tactic.’ Who says that except this president in this time? It’s unethical, it’s immoral, it’s illegal, and we’re here to say, ‘hell no,’” Merkley said.
“It takes 60 votes to get something done in the Senate. We have 53 Republicans. The Democrats have the power to stop anything, without shutting down the government. Why are they shutting down the government? What they’re doing is saying, ‘If you don’t do it our way, we’re just going to close down the government and make a lot of people suffer,’” Bentz said.
Democrats say they’re holding out on the continuing resolution to preserve health care subsidies that would be eliminated if it passes. Those tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year.
Meanwhile, 26 state attorneys general, including Oregon’s Dan Rayfield, are suing the Trump administration to release the SNAP benefits.
The bottom line, 42 million Americans, overall, stand to lose their food assistance benefits come November 1, no matter who’s to blame.
The Oregon Ducks picked up their seventh win of the season on Saturday at Autzen Stadium with a 21-7 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers but it’s safe to say offense didn’t play up to standard.
The constant rain and the injury to quarterback Dante Moore certainly played a role in Oregon’s below-average performance, but offensive coordinator Will Stein’s unit still ended up generating multiple big plays on the ground, something that has become a theme this season.
Even if Moore does end up missing some time, Oregon’s running backs have shown off some explosiveness that is statistically unmatched across the rest of college football, which could give quarterback Brock Thomas something to lean on if he is thrust into the starting role.
According to Rob Moseley of GoDucks.com, Oregon leads college football this season with 24 runs of 20+ yards. This included four explosive runs in the win over Wisconsin, as the running back room all took turns getting their chance at gashing the Badgers’ defense.

All four primary running backs — Noah Whittington, Jordon Davison, Dierre Hill Jr. and Jayden Limar — have had at least one run of 50+ yards this season. Searching for explosive? Look no further.
The Ducks have had a committee approach at running back this season but it clearly hasn’t impacted that group’s statistical output. If anything, it’s led to an increase in production, as Oregon is on pace to top its rushing total from last season when Jordan James operated as the primary ball carrier en route to a 1,000-yard season.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning has had a 1,000-yard rusher each season since arriving to Eugene, though that’s likely to end this year. Still, there’s one name that has set himself apart this season for running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples.
Whittington is Oregon’s leader rusher (433) headed into the second bye week, but he is tied with the true freshman Davison in carries (51). Still, it’s Davison who leads the team with 10 rushing touchdowns, adding two more against the Badgers.
Davison arrived to Eugene as a four-star recruit and has looked every bit the part. He’s posted 51 carries for 352 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
His production on long runs might come as a surprise to college football fans, but Davison saw it coming from himself based on what he’s been doing in practice.
“Whole time I knew I could do it,” Davison said. “It’s happened a couple times in practice, so I feel like everybody on the team wasn’t surprised. Like I knew I could do it. I’m confident in myself, and I know my capability as a player.”
He has built a nice chemistry with Hill Jr., who has tallied 36 carries for 357 yards and three touchdowns this season.
“It’s kind of crazy, because coming in, they was like, who do I want to play with? And we was like watching each other’s film, and it was a couple backs, and I actually chose Dierre,” Davison said. “And his film stuck out to me. And then we was connecting before we got here, and then as soon as we got here, it just clicked, like, that’s my right-hand man. People probably think like, it’s just on the field, but we together every day, off the field, all the time.”
After the bye, the Oregon running backs will get another chance to show off their explosiveness when the Ducks visit the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Heading into the bye week, the Iowa Hawkeyes look better at their current juncture than they have all season, especially considering their worrying 3-2 start and the flurry of negative media attention that came their way after that second loss.
At 6-2 (4-1 in the B1G), the black and gold have dwindled the (previously much larger) tie for fourth place in the conference down to just themselves and the Michigan Wolverines. Of the two teams, Iowa appears to face a more favorable immediate outlook in the way of opportunities to break that tie and, in time, move into pedestal position in the conference.
Much of the Hawkeyes’ eventual fate hinges on their incoming, post-bye matchup with the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks. Much like their previous ranked duel this season against the now-second-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, the battle against the Ducks will be held in Iowa City in front of one of the nation’s most persistently loud, present fanbases.
Chalk it up to good luck, smart scheduling or both; whichever way you spin it, Iowa’s current favorable outlook is only amplified by the extended stretch of home games in which they currently operate.
To boot, Oregon’s trip in to town is shaping up to be as influential on the wider B1G slate, if not more so, than the team’s aforementioned loss to Indiana. Unfortunately for excited fans, though, no official time or televised designation has yet been set.
While the game was anticipated by many to take Big Noon Kickoff priority, the conference announced at the beginning of this week that their final decision regarding kickoff time and television partner will be put on a six-day hold.
It may seem like a small issue, but for an Iowa team that has spent much of this season vying for national relevancy — somehow, an AP ranking still eludes them — the bigger the stage for a potential upset win, the better.
Especially on the heels of their retrospectively season-defining home victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a 41-3 rout, the Hawkeyes argument for league-wide attention hasn’t been so convincing since their B1G championship appearance back in 2023.
That game was a loss, and this one could be, too; but either way, it’d be beneficial for this Iowa team to sit under the heat of the national spotlight if they truly wish to live up to their “College Football Playoff dark horse” title.
