Beaverton nurse murder case: Jonathan Schubert appears in court

Jonathan Bryce Schubert, a 27-year-old man, appeared virtually in Washington County court for his arraignment on charges including second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He is being held without bail due to the severity of the murder charge. Schubert is accused of killing Melissa Jubane, a nurse who was reported missing on September 4th after failing to show up for work at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. Jubane's family expressed gratitude for the ongoing investigation and support from the community, while a spokesperson from Providence St. Vincent Hospital mourned her loss, highlighting her dedication and commitment to nursing. The Oregon Nurses Association also released a statement expressing devastation over Jubane's death and announced plans for a vigil to honor her memory. Schubert, who was Jubane's neighbor, has a history of employment as a nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center but was never employed at St. Vincent, where Jubane worked. The relationship between Schubert and Jubane remains unclear, as Beaverton Police have not disclosed further details regarding the case. A preliminary probable cause hearing for Schubert is scheduled for September 16th, as the investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding Jubane's disappearance and death. The community is rallying in support of Jubane's family during this tragic time, reflecting on her contributions to healthcare and the impact of her loss.
