The accused murderer of Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane made an appearance in Washington County court on Tuesday, as friends and advocates of Jubane rallied outside.
The 32-year-old Providence St. Vincent nurse had been married just weeks before she was found dead, two days after she was reported missing on Sept. 4.
Her neighbor, 27-year-old Bryce Schubert, stands accused of her murder.
Last month, he pleaded not guilty to charges of first degree murder, kidnapping, and second degree abuse of a corpse. A status hearing is scheduled for next month.
“It’s the same thing, it’s just another checkup and it’s just going to be dragged on - another month, how many more, right?” asked Fredie Misay, a regional coordinator of local Filipino advocacy organization BAYAN Oregon.
Misay didn’t know Jubane, but she also attended the University of Portland and shares a community in the Northwest Filipino American Students Association with her.
