Missing Massachusetts man seen leaving South Carolina beach rental in Ring video before disappearance
Missing Massachusetts man Stanley Kotowski can be seen leaving his family's Hilton Head rental house on Friday, Aug. 16 – the day he disappeared.
The search for a missing nurse in Oregon, who disappeared days after returning home from her wedding, has come to a tragic end after police found her body and charged her neighbor with the murder.
Beaverton Police confirmed on Saturday that the remains of Melissa Jubane, 32, were found after a three-day search and just two weeks after she tied the knot with Bryan Llantero, a native of Kalihi, Hawaii.
Relatives told KHON2 that the couple had dated for nearly a decade before tying the knot.
Imelda Llantero, Bryan's mother, told KHON2 that the newlyweds flew back to the Pacific Northwest on Aug. 31, and landed in the early morning hours of Sept. 1 after their August 24 wedding in Hawaii.

Imelda Llantero said the couple spent Labor Day together before Jubane had to return to work on Sept. 3. She said she showed up for her shift on the 3rd, but never showed up for her morning shift on Sept. 4.
Coworkers, friends and family of Jubane, who was a nurse at St. Vincent Hospital in Southwest Portland, became concerned when she didn't show up for work.
Officers responded to her residence and after a search of the property, her absence and lack of communication was deemed "unusual and alarming."
"There was no Melissa," said Imelda Llantero. "Her bag, wallet, and keys are missing, and her car is still parked in the parking garage."
Efforts by officers and family members to contact Jubane throughout the day were unsuccessful, as her phone appeared to be turned off, police said.

Officials said that as a result of an extensive investigation, it was determined that one of Jubane's neighbors, 27-year-old Bryce Johnathan Schubert of Beaverton, was involved in her disappearance.
Police said Schubert was arrested and charged with Jubane's murder. His first court appearance is expected on Monday, according to Washington County officials.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community members who have assisted with the search for Melissa. Our deepest condolences go out to Melissa’s family, friends and coworkers," Beaverton Police said in a statement.
"While we acknowledge the significant community interest and concern, we must withhold further details to preserve the integrity of the investigation," the statement continued.
