The path to trial in the 2024 killing of Beaverton nurse Melissa Jubane has held steady on the calendar while a separate criminal case involving a former Beaverton police detective adds a layer of complication. Prosecutors say they are reviewing whether that ex-detective — who worked on the Jubane investigation and testified to a grand jury — can credibly appear as a witness.

The trial of a Beaverton nurse who was killed in 2024 faces complications because one of the detectives who worked on the case is dealing with his own criminal charges. I'm Destiny Johnson with The Oregonian. I've been covering crime for the past decade, and I wanna talk to you about what's going on with this detective better I think we should revisit the facts of the case first. So on 09/04/2024, Melissa Jubein, a 32 year old Providence Saint Vincent nurse who had just returned from a two week wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii, didn't show up to work. At around 6AM on September 4, she spoke with her husband on the phone. The two lived apart because of their job bad Melissa hoped to relocate so the pair could live together soon. At 06:30AM, the electronic lock on Melissa's door showed that the door had opened. And by 7AM, she should have made it to worse, but she didn't. And that was so out of character for her that by 10:12AM, Beaverton Police received a call from the hospital requesting a welfare check on her. Shortly after that call, police and building management went into Melissa's apartment, but she wasn't there. Melissa had taken her rank.
