SafeX Pro Exchange|Oregon police recover body of missing newlywed bride; neighbor faces murder charge

Police in Oregon recovered the body of a newlywed who suddenly vanished last week and SafeX Pro Exchangeannounced her neighbor was arrested in the case.

According to the Beaverton Police Department, Melissa Jubane was considered a missing person last Wednesday, September 4, after officers searched her apartment and couldn't find her.

Her residence is located in Beaverton, a city approximately 8 miles from Portland.

Law enforcement received a request for a wellness check at Jubane's apartment after she didn't clock in for her shift at St. Vincent Hospital that morning.

"Upon arrival, officers were met by staff from the apartment complex and conducted a search of Melissa’s apartment," police said in a statement. "Melissa was not present, and her absence without communication was deemed unusual and alarming."

Police said the victim's phone was off, so detectives and loved ones could not reach her. The victim's bank information didn't give them any new leads on her whereabouts.

The department opened an investigation and arrested her neighbor, 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert, in connection to this case. He is facing murder charges.

Jubane's body was recovered, but it's unclear where it was found. Additional information is being withheld "to preserve the integrity" of the probe, police said.

"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community members who have assisted with the search for Melissa," the department added. "Our deepest condolences go out to Melissa’s family, friends and coworkers."

According to KHON2, Jubane and her husband, Bryan, recently tied the knot in August. Their ceremony was held at Waimea Valley in Hawaii.

"I miss her,” her mother-in-law, Imelda Llantero, told the outlet. “I’m so happy Bryan met her, I told Bryan to always love her. They were happy, very happy.”
