An Oregon man accused of killing a nurse reported missing days after returning home from her wedding made his first court appearance on Monday.

The Beaverton Police Department arrested Jonathan Bryce Schubert, 27, who authorities say was a neighbor to Melissa Jubane, 32, whose body was found days after she was reported missing when she failed to show up for her shift at work. 

Officials said Schubert is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He is being held without bail at the Washington County jail due to the murder charge.

Schubert appeared on video during Monday’s hearing and did not enter a plea during his arraignment, according to KATU News.

Officials said that as a result of an extensive investigation, it was determined that Schubert was involved in her disappearance. 

FOX 12 reported that Schubert worked as a nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center from September 2022 to October 2023. However, Schubert was not employed at Providence St. Vincent, where Melissa worked, Providence said in a statement Saturday morning.

Beaverton police confirmed on Saturday that the remains of Jubane were found following a three-day search and just two weeks after she tied the knot with Bryan Llantero, a native of Kalihi, Hawaii.

The Oregon State Beavers picked up their first road win of the Trent Bray era of Saturday with a 21-0 shutout against San Diego State.

“I thought they did a great job making them earn everything, just keeping the ball in front of us,” said Oregon State head coach Trent Bray after the win. As the Beavers former defensive coordinator, the nature of the win was no doubt a point of extra pride for Bray.

The Beaver defense allowed just seven total first downs against the Aztecs and held them to two third-down conversions on 12 attempts. That allowed OSU to dominate the time-of-possession, holding the ball for 41 minutes.

Also adding to the significance of the win was the length of time a win like this actually happened for the Beavers. the last time that Oregon State shutout an opponent in a road win, the year was 1976. OSU beat Hawaii 59-0 in Honolulu that season.

In general, their last road shutout was at Oregon in 1983, but that chapter of the storied rivalry ended in a 0-0 tie. Now, the Beavers prepare for the latest chapter of their rivalry with Oregon: this Saturday 14 at Reser Stadium. Kick off is scheduled for 12:30 PM PT on FOX.

A nurse allegedly murdered by her Oregon neighbor just two weeks after getting married had plans to move out to be with her long-distance husband in Washington state, her family shared. 

Police recovered the remains of Melissa Jubane, 32, on Friday evening after a three-day search that ended in the arrest of her 27-year-old neighbor, Bryce Johnathan Schubert, who was charged with second-degree murder. 

The newlywed was reported missing on Wednesday after failing to show up to her morning shift at St. Vincent Hospital in Southwest Portland. Her coworkers requested a wellness check on her, but police didn’t find any signs of her at her apartment. 

Jubane married her husband Bryan Llantero, of Hawaii, on the island of Honolulu on Aug. 24 and had just returned to Oregon before she vanished.

The newlyweds first met in Hawaii and dated for over a decade, flying back and forth to see each other. Llantero had last heard from his new wife the morning she went missing, according to KHON. 

Jubane would stay in her Oregon apartment because of its close proximity to her workplace while Llantero stayed in Washington state with Melissa’s family, her mother-in-law Imelda Llantero told the local news station.

But after tying the knot, Jubane planned to look for a job in Washington so she could live with her new husband, Imelda Llantero said.

Since her alleged murder, family members have taken to social media to advocate for justice and preserve her memory.

Jax Marquez, one of Jubane’s cousins, has turned to dedicating parts of her social media to her, including changing her profile picture to read “Justice for #melissajubane.”

“She has the sweetest soul in the world and I wanted to be able to create a space for those that had any interactions with her, those that knew her, had really close relationships with her, just anybody that has sweet memories of her,” Marquez said in a post on Instagram. 

Jubane’s father also expressed his heartbreak online.

“I’m in so much pain right now for you my daughter Melissa Jubane. As promised by the Beaverton Police Authorities to us, your justice will be done soon,” Valentin Jubane, Melissa’s father, wrote in a post on Facebook. 

“I have trust in our God The Almighty and His only son our Lord God Jesus Christ. You are loved by so many good people around the world.”

Another one of Melissa’s cousins, Onilobes Allan, urged politicians to protect potential victims from bad actors. 

“[…] our government need[s] to protect [people like Melissa] so we can have a chance to live in peace and have happiness in the world but unfortunately got taken advantage and was killed by someone that is very evil. I’m asking the government to make laws that protect good citizens,” he wrote in a post on Facebook.
