Noni M. Tinglin-Jarrett, a 26-year-old Black woman, was reported missing from Irvington, New Jersey, after her last known contact was recorded as April 1, 2025. Public missing-person records state that a family member had not seen Noni since sometime in April 2025. What happened after that period has not been publicly established. The most significant information supplied by her family is a belief that she may have gone to Ohio, creating a possible geographic lead well beyond her home community in Essex County. Authorities have not publicly disclosed what prompted the family member to believe she might be in Ohio, whether Noni had known connections there, or whether there was confirmed travel placing her in the state.
Noni is described in the public missing-person record as approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
No publicly available information identifies what clothing she may have been wearing when she was last seen or contacted, and no vehicle has been publicly associated with her disappearance. There also has been no public description of a specific incident, confrontation, medical emergency, or suspicious event immediately preceding her disappearance. Instead, the case centers on a prolonged loss of contact: a family member knew Noni had not been seen by them since April 2025 and eventually sought law-enforcement assistance in determining where she had gone and whether she was safe.
The search for Noni became a documented Irvington Police Department missing-person investigation. Public case information identifies the department's case number as CC-2026-007059 and records August 27, 2026, as the date the matter was reported to the investigating agency. That meant more than a year had passed since the recorded April 2025 last contact by the time the case was formally documented in the publicly available record. Noni's case was subsequently entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP162284. The federal listing identifies Irvington as the place from which she is missing and gives April 1, 2025, as her date of last contact. The public record remained available in September 2026, with investigators seeking information that could clarify her movements after she lost contact with her family.
Long before she became the subject of a missing-person investigation, Noni had a documented history in New Jersey schools. Public records from Mother Seton Regional High School show that she was an accomplished student and athlete. In 2016, she received first place in Advanced Spanish at a statewide foreign-language competition involving students from dozens of New Jersey schools. School reporting from that same year identified her as the valedictorian of Mother Seton's graduating class and stated that she planned to study chemical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Earlier school records also placed her in track and field competitions and academic activities, providing a public picture of a young woman whose life had included considerable academic achievement before the circumstances that eventually led her family to seek help finding her.
Publicly available information remains limited about Noni's movements after April 1, 2025. There have been no publicly announced arrests, suspects, or persons of interest connected to her disappearance, and authorities have not publicly alleged that a crime occurred. Likewise, there is no publicly documented confirmation that she reached Ohio, only the family member's belief that she might be there. Without a confirmed sighting, verified communication, travel record disclosed to the public, or other publicly reported development establishing where she went, the period following her last known contact remains the central unanswered part of the investigation. Anyone with information concerning Noni M. Tinglin-Jarrett's whereabouts has been directed to the Irvington Police Department at 973-399-6600. In overview, Noni disappeared from contact with her family in April 2025 while associated with Irvington, New Jersey; her family believes she may have traveled to Ohio, but no publicly confirmed trail has established where she went, leaving investigators and those who care about her still seeking the information that can explain what happened and bring certainty to her family.Last Seen: Apr 1, 2025
