PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – New details in the case of Melissa Jubane , a nurse who was discovered dead two days after she went missing in early September, are shedding light on the man accused of her murder.
After flying back to the mainland, Llantero — an active duty member of the U.S. Navy — reported for work in Washington state and Jubane returned to work at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Jubane’s mother-in-law said.
So far, most details surrounding the case have remained sealed from the public. However, a recent court document filed by prosecutors on Thursday claimed that Schubert had been “deliberately cruel” in the final moments of Jubane’s life.
According to the document, which listed a series of “sentence enhancement factors,” Schubert used a weapon and “posed a threat of actual violence” which resulted in permanent injury to Jubane prior to her death.
Prosecutors also claim that “the degree of harm or loss attributed to the current crime of conviction was significantly greater than typical for such an offense.”
Additionally, prosecutors said “future efforts to rehabilitate [Schubert] will not be successful and there is a need to ensure the security of the public.”
