Newlywed Nurse Gets Mysteriously Murdered By Her Neighbor · Murder Files Unsealed

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: At 6.20 a.m. on a Wednesday, this 32-year-old newlywed nurse,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Melissa Jubain, she locks the door to her apartment. Right.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Just a normal morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Just a totally normal morning. She's heading to a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: shift at the hospital. But her car, it never actually
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: leaves the secure parking garage.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: And her cell phone never leaves the perimeter of her
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: building either.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: She basically just vanishes into thin air. So today we're
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: doing a deep dive into how the modern fortress we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: all call home might actually be you know, the most
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: perfectly engineered trap imaginable.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It really is a terrifying thought because we all operate
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: under this, like, collective delusion about residential security.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, 100%.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You swipe your key fob, the heavy lobby door thuds
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: shut right behind you, and your brain just releases this
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: subconscious sigh of relief.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel safe. You're inside.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You assume that physical barrier is this hard filter
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: between the chaos of the outside world and, well, your
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: private life. But architecture, it only really keeps out random elements. Right.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It keeps out strangers. Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But it offers absolutely zero protection against a threat that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: is already inside the perimeter.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I am so glad you phrased it that way because
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the case we are unpacking for you today, it just
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: shatters that specific illusion completely.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It really does.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So welcome to this deep dive. Our mission today is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to take you inside this chilling, just deeply tragic and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: incredibly fast-moving case. that recently tore through Beaverton, Oregon.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are going to fully deconstruct the disappearance and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the murder of Melissa Jubain.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And just to give you, the listener, a foundation for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: all of this, we are drawing exclusively from this really
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: detailed crime fix report by the Law and Crime Network.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Right, hosted by Anjanette Levy. It's a fantastic source.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It really is. And it's super valuable because it brings
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: together all these different vantage points, you know?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Like we get this raw, on-the-ground reality from a digital
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: creator named Skylar Talbot.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was actually embedded in the community search efforts,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: which is wild to see.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: It is. And then at the same time, we get
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this really high level procedural analysis from a retired NYPD detective,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: David Sarney.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And Sarney really breaks down the invisible machinery of the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: police investigation.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating. It really is. So I think the central
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: contradiction of this entire story, the thing that makes it
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: just so deeply unsettling to me, is the contrast between
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: who Melissa was and... Well, the way this violence actually
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: entered her life.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. I mean, we are talking about a woman
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: who dedicated her entire professional existence to healing others.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Right. She did everything right. Everything.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: She was embedded in multiple fiercely loyal communities. She lived
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in a secure building.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And yet her life was allegedly taken by someone living
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: just on the other side of her apartment wall.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It forces a total reevaluation of how we measure risk,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really does.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So throughout this deep dive, we are going to look
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at this tragedy not just as a timeline of events,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: but honestly, as a masterclass in modern investigative procedure.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We'll look at how police establish a missing person timeline
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: in that crazy high stakes vacuum of the first 48 hours.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We'll dissect the staggering power of grassroots community mobilization, too. Right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And finally, we're going to navigate the highly tactical, almost
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: totally secretive legal maneuvering of a sealed homicide investigation.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the victim, though, because to really comprehend
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the massive scale and speed of the police response here,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you have to understand the profile of the life that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: was interrupted.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: In investigative terms, we call this the victimology.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Which is a term you hear all the time on
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: true crime shows. Right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You hear it on TV constantly. But a detective doesn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just look at the circumstances of a disappearance. They look
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: at the baseline trajectory of the person's life.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So the victimology dictates the entire urgency of the police response. Exactly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It dictates the urgency and the direction of that initial response.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Let me stop you there for a second, because like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we said, victimology gets thrown around constantly. But what does
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that actually look like on a detective's whiteboard in those
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: first few hours?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Well, it basically looks like a behavioral credit score.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good way to put it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Investigators are trying to quantify the likelihood of voluntary disappearance.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Like, did they just run away? Right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: If a teenager with a history of running away and,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you know, a volatile home life goes missing, the Pullian response,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: whether we agree with it or not, is often scaled
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to the assumption that they left on their own. Right.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They assume they'll come back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But when you look at Melissa Jubain's profile, her behavioral
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: credit score is just flawless.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Flawless. She is 32. She is an established nurse at
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: She is a proud University of Portland alum. A pilot.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And she previously worked at Nike, which, if
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you don't know, is a massive corporate anchor in Oregon.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Huge. And add to that the personal momentum.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Of her life. Right. She literally just got married in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Hawaii the month prior.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: A month. That's incredible.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And she was actively researching jobs in Washington state to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: close the geographic gap with her new husband so they could,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know, really begin their married life together.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So she is clearly not a person running away from
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: her life. She is a person sprinting toward her future.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Which is so heartbreaking. It is.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And that exact momentum is what makes the sudden halt
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: so alarming to law enforcement.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Because it's so out of character.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly. When a highly functional, deeply connected individual with zero
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: history of erratic behavior... suddenly stops existing on the grid,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: detectives immediately assume foul play.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Because the deviation from her baseline is just too extreme.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Right. It's immediate alarm bells.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So that brings us to the morning of Wednesday, September 4th.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The timeline we have from the source is just incredibly tight.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Very tight.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: She wakes up, gets ready for her hospital shift, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the police ultimately narrow down her departure window to around 6.20 a.m.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But she never arrives at Providence St. Vincent.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: No, she doesn't. And the missed shift is really the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: tripwire here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Detective Sarney emphasizes this in the report. In a lot
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of professions, if you don't show up, people assume, oh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: you overslept.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Or your car broke down. Right.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Or you just confused your schedule.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And I would argue that even in a hospital setting,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: people might initially assume you had a family emergency and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: just forgot to call in. Sure, yeah. But her friends
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and co-workers, they didn't wait. They didn't assume a miscommunication
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Which says so much about her.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It does. They immediately requested that the Beaverton police perform
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a welfare check.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Their immediate escalation speaks volumes about her reliability as a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: person and a professional.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And when the police arrive at that apartment complex to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: conduct the welfare check, they are met with a scene
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that is terrifying, honestly, precisely because of how normal it looks.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Let's walk through that because a welfare check seems like
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: such a routine piece of police work.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just picture an officer knocking on a door,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hoping to find someone to sleep or maybe, I don't know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: dealing with a bad flu.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Right. The officer is looking for a physical explanation. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they enter Melissa's apartment and there is no sign of
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: forced entry.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: None at all.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: There is no sign of a struggle. The apartment is
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: totally pristine.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It's just perfectly clean.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And on its face, a clean, empty apartment is
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: not a crime scene.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: No, of course not.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But this is where Detective Sarney introduces the critical concept
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: of compounding factors.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: OK, I want to push back on how we visualize
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this for a second. Because a lot of times people
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: talk about the Swiss cheese model, right? Where the holes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: line up to cause a disaster.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Right, the Swiss cheese effect.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But looking at the details here, it doesn't feel like
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: random holes lining up. It feels more like a sudden
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: atmospheric pressure drop.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that analogy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Like in meteorology, if the barometric pressure suddenly plummets for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: no reason... You don't wait for the rain to start.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You know a massive storm is already right on top
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The barometric pressure analogy is actually far more accurate for
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: an investigation like this.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Because it's not just one thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly. The compounding factors aren't random accidents. They're the total
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: absence of expected data. It is an information vacuum.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Right. So let's list them out. Factor one. Yeah. She's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not at work.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Factor two. Her apartment is perfectly undisturbed but completely empty.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Factor three. Police check the complex's secure garage, and her
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: car is still sitting exactly where it should be.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Which is a huge red flag. A 32-year-old nurse does
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: not abandon her car in her own garage to commute
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: on foot without telling anyone?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously not.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And then the digital pressure drops to absolute zero.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: This is the part that gives me chills.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Investigators discover her cell phone is turned off, and not
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: just ringing unanswered, it is completely dead to the network.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Which nobody does anymore. Nobody turns their phone entirely off.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Right. And furthermore, there is absolute silence on her bank
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: accounts and credit cards. Zero financial activity.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So mechanically speaking, how fast does the bureaucracy of a
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: police department pivot here?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Very fast.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But at what precise moment is that patrol officer standing
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: in a clean apartment radio back to the precinct and say,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you know, this isn't a welfare check anymore. I need
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: homicide detectives down here immediately.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It happens the exact moment they cross-reference the car in
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the garage with the dead cell phone and then factor
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in the husband's testimony.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, right, the husband.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Sarney notes that police would have immediately contacted her new
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: husband in Washington state.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And he confirms she hasn't contacted him.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Once you establish that the primary emergency contact is
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: totally in the dark, the car is immobilized, and the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: digital tether, the smartphone is severed, the threshold is crossed.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The barometric pressure has bottomed out.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Right. The Beaverton police declared her disappearance alarming almost immediately.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: They bypassed the standard missing persons waiting period entirely.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That is pretty rare, right? Usually they make you wait.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Very rare. But that rapid escalation inside the police department
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: mirrored an equally explosive reaction outside the department.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yes. The undeniable red flags triggered a massive grassroots response.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And the focus shifted from a quiet apartment hallway to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the sprawling landscape of Beaverton.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: The community mobilization is just one of the most striking
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: elements of this entire case. It totally challenges the cynical
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: view that people in modern cities don't look out for
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: one another.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It really does. We get this incredibly vivid picture of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the search from Skylar Talbot. He was out there filming,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: basically documenting the reality on the ground. He describes hundreds
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of people converging almost instantly. They set up this massive
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: staging area at the Costco, located directly behind her five-story
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: apartment complex.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Which, from a logistical standpoint, choosing that Costco makes perfect sense.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, plenty of space.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It provides parking, visibility, and immediate proximity to her last
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: known location.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So from there, searchers fanned out, focusing heavily on the dense,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: wooded areas that bordered the apartment complex and stretched toward
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the nearby Nike corporate campus.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And the sheer volume of searchers wasn't an accident. It
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: comes back to those intersecting networks we touched on during
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the victimology.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Right. She was a human super connector.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You have the medical community from Providence St. Vincent.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You have the entire University of Portland alumni network mobilizing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And then you have the footprint of Nike employees.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Talbot actually contextualizes the Nike connection beautifully in the report.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: He points out that Nike isn't just a company in Oregon.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It is a cultural institution.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It's massive out there.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It employs thousands of people locally. So when word spread
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that a former colleague, someone who walked those exact same
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: corporate campuses, had vanished, the response was visceral.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: The people searching weren't just looking for a stranger. They
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: were looking at Melissa and seeing a reflection of their
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: own co-workers, their own friends, their own family members.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But this brings us to a detail Talbot observed that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is so deeply jarring. I really haven't been able to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: stop thinking about it since I watched the report.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know exactly what you're going to say.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: You have this massive sweeping operation happening outside. Helicopters, search dogs,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hundreds of volunteers flooding the Costco parking lot. Caring through
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the brush. It is a.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Highly visible, undeniable crisis unfolding in real time.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But inside her actual apartment building, it was an entirely
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: different universe.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Total silence.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Calvert was filming an update video right in front
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of the complex on Friday. And immediate neighbors are walking
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: out of the front doors. They see the cameras, they
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: see the police presence, and they literally walk up to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: him to ask what's going on. They were completely unaware
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that Melissa had gone missing on Wednesday.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: They lived mere feet away from the epicenter of the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: disappearance and they were entirely oblivious.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Please explain to me how that is physically possible. We
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: were talking about a Wednesday to a Friday.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Over 48 hours of a frantic citywide search
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: for a woman who lived in their building. And the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: people sharing walls with her had zero idea.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Well, it points to a severe sociological paradox in how
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: we design modern living spaces.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The architecture of a contemporary five-story apartment complex is fundamentally antisocial.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Anticocial? Yes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It is designed to optimize privacy and minimize incidental contact.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Think about the physical flow of living there.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: You drive into a subterranean garage... You get into an
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: enclosed elevator, you walk down a long carpeted hallway designed
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: specifically to muffle sound, and you enter your unit. You
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: don't have a front porch. You don't have a shared
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: yard where you naturally observe your neighbor's daily routines.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So the stratification of the building literally blinds you to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: your immediate surroundings.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You might know your co-workers intimately, but your spatial awareness
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of your own home ends right at your doormat.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: That is exactly it. We cultivate intense, deep relationships across
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a city through our professions and our school.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Which is why hundreds of people will drop everything to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: scour a forest for you.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Right. But in the physical space where you are theoretically
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the most vulnerable, where you sleep, you can be entirely
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: invisible to the person sleeping 10 feet away.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That is so creepy.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: You can share a wall for five years and never
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: even learn their last name.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So the silence of her disappearance went completely unnoticed by
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the people closest to the orders point, precisely because everyone
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is locked inside their own little curated sensory deprivation chambers.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it. And that specific isolation,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the cold, unobservant nature of the modern apartment hallway, it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: leads us directly to the most devastating pivot in this investigation.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Because all those volunteers scouring the woods by the Nike campus,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: they were looking in the wrong place.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: They were.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The resolution to this massive search didn't happen in the forest.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It happened right back inside those very walls.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: By late Friday night, stretching into the early hours of
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, the Beaverton police made their move.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And the contrast is staggering.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: It really is. You have the massive public search outside
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: versus the highly targeted, quiet arrest inside.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: The authorities arrested her neighbor, a 27-year-old man named Bryce Schubert.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And concurrently, the police released the absolutely heartbreaking confirmation that
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they had recovered Melissa's remains.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Though we should note they have kept the specific location
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of that recovery completely sealed from the public.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is sealed.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So let's look at the suspect, Bryce Schubert, because the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: parallels here make the tragedy so much heavier.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They really do.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: He wasn't just a random neighbor occupying a unit in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that five-story building. He was also a registered nurse.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Right. Now, the report is careful to clarify that he
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: did not work at the same hospital as Melissa.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Right. Different facilities.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He was employed at a different medical facility in the region,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: but they shared that fundamental professional identity.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They both chose a career path totally defined by caretaking. Yes.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: And yet, the charges leveled against him are the complete
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: antithesis of care.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: He is facing second-degree murder, kidnapping, and the incredibly grim...
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: visceral charge of abuse of a corpse.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: The motive remains a massive question mark in the public
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: record right now. The police have not released a narrative
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: explaining how or why this intersection even occurred.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: No, they haven't. But the report highlights a critical, unconfirmed
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: detail that really stands out.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Right, the social media post.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Melissa's father took to social media and referred to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the suspect as a stalker.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Now, even if we treat that statement as the raw
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: reaction of a grieving parent rather than a confirmed legal fact,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It introduces a terrifying psychological element to this neighbor dynamic.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. It completely shatters that concept of the apartment
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: as a sanctuary.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It forces us to confront the reality of proximity. We
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: all operate on this implicit social contract that says the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: people living near us share our basic values of mutual
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: respect and safety.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I want to dig into that assumption for a second.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Because when you sign a lease at a nice, modern
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: complex with key fob entry and a secure garage... You
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: are essentially paying a premium for an illusion.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: You really are.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You assume the property management company has vetted everyone. The
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: source material actually features this integrated discussion about a service
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: for background checks, right?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, emphasizing this modern anxiety of needing to know who
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: is around you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But how much does that actually protect you? Like, does
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the illusion of safety actually create a fatal vulnerability?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: That is the core psychological trap. When you believe you
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: are in a secure environment, your biological threat detection systems
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: just power down.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that makes so much sense.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Think about it. If you were walking to your car
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: in a dimly lit, unfamiliar part of the city, your
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: situational awareness is operating at maximum capacity.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my head is on a swivel.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Right. You are scanning for anomalies. You are assessing every
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: single person who walks past you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But when you are walking down the carpeted hallway of
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: your own building at 620 in the morning... Your guard
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: is completely dropped.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Completely.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: You are thinking about the traffic or your morning coffee
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: or the patient files you need to review. You are
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: not assessing the neighbor locking his door as a potential
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: lethal threat.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Because the secure building creates a false sense of a
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: curated ecosystem. You assume the key fob is like a
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: talisman against danger.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: A talisman.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Wow. You assume a background check filters out monsters. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: background check is just a historical document.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It only tells you if a person has been caught
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: violating the law in the past.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It possesses absolutely no predictive power regarding future violence.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It cannot flag an obsession or a fixation developing quietly
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: behind a closed door.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: So the threat wasn't someone scaling the walls to breach
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the fortress. The threat already had a key to the hallway.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: And untangling that proximity is exactly what the police had
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to do. And they had to do it with breathtaking speed.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Which brings us to the procedural mechanics of this investigation.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: From a law enforcement standpoint, the timeline of this arrest
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: is just astonishingly compressed.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It really is. Walk me through the reality of that
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: timeline from your perspective.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Well, the alarm is raised on Wednesday morning. By Friday night,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: they have a suspect in custody and remains recovered.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: That is less than 72 hours.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In a world where cases routinely go cold for decades,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: how does that even happen?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Detective Sarney provides vital insight into what this speed implies
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: about the ubiquity of modern surveillance.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Because it's everywhere now. It is.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: An arrest within three days, especially in a scenario involving
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: kidnapping and a hidden body, indicates that the suspect left
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: an overwhelming digital footprint.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So how do investigators exploit that 6.20 a.m. window? Because
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in a building with hundreds of residents, you can't just
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: casually review all the camera footage. It would take weeks.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: The 6.20 a.m. timestamp is the procedural fulcrum here. Sarney
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: points out that video surveillance in a multi-dwelling unit is paramount.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Because they know she likely exited her door at that
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: specific time, they don't need to watch weeks of footage.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: They laser focus on the cameras covering her specific hallway,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the elevator banks, the stairwells. and the garage exit starting at, say, 6.15 a.m.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: They are looking for the exact moment her routine was
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: violently interrupted.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Precisely.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: But cameras have blind spots. I mean, you can avoid
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a camera if you know where it is in your
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: own building. So what happens when the visual trail ends?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That is when you transition to the cellular data. Sarni
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: specifically highlights cell phone tracking.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. But we know her phone appeared to be turned off.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Right. But in 2024, a phone's interaction with the network
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: before it goes dark is an absolute goldmine of location data.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Wait, I need to understand the mechanics of this. Because
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: tracking a phone in a sprawling forest is one thing,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: but tracking a phone in a vertically stacked apartment building
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: seems incredibly complex.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: It is complex.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: How do police differentiate between her phone pinging in her
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: apartment on the third floor versus the suspect's apartment right
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: next door?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It requires highly sophisticated triangulation. A phone doesn't just ping
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: a distant cell tower. It interacts with its microenvironment constantly.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Like searching for Wi-Fi.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It constantly searches for known Wi-Fi networks. It emits
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Bluetooth signals. Investigators can pull data from the building's internet
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: service providers to see whose routers her phone interacted with.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. So even if it didn't connect to the network.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. If her phone suddenly disconnects from her own Wi-Fi
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: and briefly attempts to handshake with the neighbor's Wi-Fi router
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: before being powered down.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You have a digital map of her movement down the hall.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You have a precise digital roadmap.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: That is incredible. And they aren't just tracking her phone, right?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Precisely. Once the neighbor becomes a person of interest, perhaps
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: because that hallway camera shows him exiting his unit at
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the exact same time, investigators immediately subpoena his digital footprint.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Right. They pivot to him.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: They look at his phone pings, his vehicle's GPS or
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: license plate reader data from the surrounding streetlights. The digital
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: breadcrumbs provide a roadmap that physical evidence simply cannot match
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: in speed.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So relying on this massive digital avalanche, they make the arrest. Now, typically,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: this is the moment in the true crime narrative where
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the police chief steps up to a podium flanked by
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: detectives and holds a massive press conference. Right.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: The victory lap. Yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: They declare a victory for justice and lay out a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: detailed timeline to reassure a terrified public. But the Beaverton
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: police did the exact opposite here.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: They really did.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Instead of offering transparency, they threw a lead blanket of
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: secrecy over the entire case.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And this is where the legal maneuvering becomes a really
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: fascinating study in investigative tactics.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It's so interesting. The probable cause affidavit, the foundational legal
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: document that forces the police to justify to a judge
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: anything exactly what evidence they have to strip a citizen
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of their freedom was completely sealed.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Sealed tight. Furthermore, the reporter on the scene noted that
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Bryce Schubert's arraignment, his initial appearance before a judge, was
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: incredibly brief.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Like, unusually brief.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: One of the shortest she had ever witnessed. He was
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: ordered held without bail, and virtually zero evidentiary details were
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: released into the public record.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: This feels totally counterintuitive to me. I mean, you have
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the suspect in cuffs. He is locked in a cell
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: without bail. Why... The extreme secrecy.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: That seems frustrating, right?
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Why create an investigative black box when the community
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: is so desperate for answers?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Detective Sarney offers two primary theories for this strategy,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and they both revolve around a fundamental truth of law enforcement.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: An arrest is not the finish line.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's just the beginning.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It is merely the starting gun for the prosecution phase.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: His first theory is that police are utilizing holdback evidence
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: because they still desperately need tips from the public.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: But if they have the killer and they have the remains,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: why do they care if someone calls a tip line?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Because the burden of proof shifts dramatically. Having enough probable
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: cause to convince a judge to sign an arrest warrant
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: is a relatively low legal bar.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Proving murder beyond a reasonable doubt to 12 jurors months
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: from now is an incredibly high bar. The police may
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: know he committed the crime, but they need the public
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to fill the microscopic gaps in the timeline.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: They need the little details.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly. They need the person who saw his car parked
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: awkwardly at a gas station. They need the clerk who
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: sold him cleaning supplies.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I see. And keeping the affidavit sealed acts as a
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: filter for all of that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: If you broadcast all the details on the evening news,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: every tip you get is contaminated. But if only the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: police and the killer know the specific condition of the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: body or the exact location it was hidden, investigators can
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: use those secret details to instantly verify that if a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: tipster is genuine or just seeking attention.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It protects the integrity of the witnesses.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: But Sarni-Erie's second theory for the sealed affidavit is far
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: more intense, and it involves the potential scope of the crime.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Which is terrifying.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: He suggests investigators are actively guarding against the possibility of accomplices.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: He explicitly asks in the report, is this the only person?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And he points out that law enforcement won't know the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: answer to that until they completely exhaust the digital footprint.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Right. If a judge unseals that probable cause affidavit, it
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: becomes a public document. You are essentially handing the defense,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: and anyone else involved, your entire playbook.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You're showing your hands.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You are telling them exactly whose phones you cracked, which
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: security cameras you pulled, and what physical evidence you recovered
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: from the apartment.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I like to think of this tactic like a controlled
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: burn in a forest fire.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, how so?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: The police have the suspect surrounded by flames, locked in
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: a cell. But by keeping all the evidence sealed, they
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: are starving the public and potential accomplices of the oxygen
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: of information.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: That is a great analogy.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: They are waiting to see who panics. If someone helped
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: him move the remains or if someone knew about his
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: fixation on Melissa, the silence from the police department is
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: absolutely terrifying to them.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: It forces them to make a mistake.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly. To attempt to destroy evidence or to suddenly flee
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the jurisdiction.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: That is a brilliant way to conceptualize it. The secrecy
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: isn't an insult to the community's need for closure. It
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: is a highly calculated, totally necessary tactical maneuver. It is
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: designed to ensure that if there is even a sliver
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: of a conspiracy, every single participant is trapped by their
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: own ignorance of what the police actually know.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: But, you know, while the machinery of the justice system
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: operates in this cold, calculated, entirely secret black box, the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: human collateral of this crime is entirely visible.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Very visible. The public mourning provides a stark contrast to
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: those sterile legal proceedings.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: The emotional aftermath really underscores the magnitude of the loss.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It is a reminder that behind every sealed affidavit and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: digital ping, there is a ruptured community.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: We saw an immediate visceral response from the institutions she
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: belonged to. Providence St. Vincent Medical Center released a statement,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: and the phrasing they used just arrested me.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Same here.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: They didn't fall back on corporate jargon. They didn't just
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: call her a valued team member. They stated explicitly that
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: she was a creature of providence.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: A creature of providence. That is profound institutional praise.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It really is. It implies she wasn't just an employee
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: punching a clock. She was someone who wholly embodied the
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: ethos of that hospital.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: She was woven into the very DNA of their culture
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of care. They expressed absolute devastation and solidarity with her family.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: And that institutional grief immediately materialized into communal action. Over
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the weekend, the Oregon Nurses Association organized a vigil.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The footage is incredibly moving. People gathering, bringing flowers, singing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: They created a physical sanctuary for a medical community struggling
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: to process the violent loss of one of their own.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Concurrently, the University of Portland held a mass for students
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and alumni. And we see the practical application of this
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: support as well. A GoFundMe campaign, established merely to assist
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: her family with funeral expenses, rapidly surged to nearly $ 80, 000.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: It is a quantifiable testament to her impact on the world.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: It is. But for you listening, I think the most
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: crucial piece of the source material isn't the corporate statements
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: or the massive fundraising numbers.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I know what you're going to mention.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: It is the microscopic, deeply personal memory shared on TikTok
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: by her friend and cousin Josephine.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: These are the micro narratives that true crime analysis so
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: often glosses over, but they are absolutely vital.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: They really are. They rescue the victim from being defined
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: entirely by the worst thing that ever happened to them.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Josephine shared a memory of them just being young. She
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: describes sitting in her childhood bedroom, finding an old camera,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and deciding to stage a serious photo shoot entirely for
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: their own amusement.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: She painted this picture of them taking a barrage of photos, posing,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and just laughing hysterically.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: It is such a vivid, universally relatable snapshot of youth, innocence,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: and joy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: And it is so necessary to hold that specific image
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: in your mind, two young women laughing in a bedroom,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and juxtapose it against the stark horrifying reality the charges
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: filed against Bryce Schubert.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Specifically, the charge of abuse of a corpse.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The cognitive dissonance between those two realities is staggering.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: It is sickening. It forcefully reminds you of the ultimate
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: human cost. We spend an hour dissecting the mechanics of
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: cell tower triangulation, the strategy behind sealed legal documents, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the sociological architecture of apartment buildings.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But at the dead center of all that procedural machinery
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: is a vibrant, deeply loved young woman.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: A woman who loved making her cousin laugh, who just
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: promised her life to her husband on a beach in Hawaii,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and who spent her waking hours trying to heal sick people.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: It demands that we remember that behind the headlines, there
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: is no puzzle to be solved. There is only the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: irreversible destruction of potential.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Which brings us to the conclusion of this deep dive.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: We set out to untangle the timeline of an absolute nightmare.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: How a routine welfare check on a Wednesday morning detonated
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: into a murder arrest and the recovery of remains by
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Friday night.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: We saw how that timeline was propelled by an observant
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: community that refused to wait, acting as the catalyst for
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: incredibly rapid, digitally sophisticated police work.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: We must also underscore the reality that this narrative is
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: not closed.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Far from it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The Beaverton Police Department is still actively operating tip lines.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: They are still building the prosecution's case.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: The legal battle is really just beginning. The investigation remains
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a fluid, active operation.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: So as we step away from the timeline and the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: procedural tactics today, I want to leave you with a
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: lingering thought. It is something that wasn't explicitly broken down
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: in the investigative reports, but it casts a dark shadow
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: over this entire tragedy.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: We know Melissa Jubain was described as a creature of providence.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: She was a nurse who dedicated her physical and emotional
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: energy to healing and protecting the most vulnerable among us.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: And we know the suspect living next door, Bryce Schubert,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: was also a nurse.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: He chose the identical professional path.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: He took the same theoretical oaths to do no harm,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: to preserve human life, and to prioritize the care of others.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: How is it possible that two human beings walking the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: exact same professional path of healing... Subscribing to the exact
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: same life-affirming oaths end up intersecting in an act of
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: ultimate unimaginable violence right next door to each other.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It's impossible to grasp.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It challenges every heuristic we use to judge the character
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of the people around us. It forces you to look
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: at the closed doors in your own hallway and ask yourself,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: how well do you truly know the people you pass
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: by every single day?
