Man now charged with 1st-degree murder in Melissa Jubane’s killing; pleads not guilty

A Washington County grand jury has indicted a man accused of killing 32-year-old Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane on a charge of first-degree murder, increasing the charge from second-degree murder, according to a new indictment released Monday.

Bryce Schubert, 27, is also charged with first-degree kidnapping and second-degree abuse of a corpse.

Schubert pleaded not guilty to all charges during his court arraignment Monday. He appeared via video feed from the Washington County jail.

The courtroom was packed, and many people were emotional during Schubert’s court appearance.

Jubane was reported missing earlier this month when she didn’t show up for work. Two days later, police arrested Schubert and found Jubane’s body.

Schubert lived in the same apartment complex has Jubane and was also a nurse, though not at the same medical center.

Jubane was killed less than two weeks after getting married in August. She worked at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland.

Authorities have released few details about the case and the court sealed a probable cause affidavit, which would give more details.

The district attorney’s office said Monday it is common for such court documents to be sealed in murder and high-profile cases.

Schubert is being held without bail.

He is next scheduled in court Tuesday, Oct. 15.
