An Oregon man named Jonathan Bryce Schubert, aged 27, has been accused of killing a nurse named Melissa Jubane, aged 32. Jubane was reported missing days after returning home from her wedding, and her body was found shortly after she failed to show up for work. Schubert, who was a neighbor of Jubane, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He made his first court appearance on Monday, where he did not enter a plea and is being held without bail at the Washington County jail.
