Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP94623)
In the spring of 2019, the life of Zebiba Nuri, a 33-year-old Black / African American woman, took an unexpected turn. She had traveled to the United States from Kuwait, where she was employed by a family who brought her along on their trip to Weehawken, New Jersey. Described as being between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing between 130 and 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, Ms. Nuri was just beginning a new chapter in a new country.
However, shortly after her arrival, this chapter was abruptly paused when she left the Weehawken residence to run errands and, for reasons that remain her own, did not return.
The initial disappearance prompted the Weehawken Police Department to open an investigation. For a time, there was little information regarding her whereabouts or well-being. A significant development in the case occurred in August of 2019, when a piece of information surfaced that provided a beacon of hope. Officials learned that Ms. Nuri had been fingerprinted by the Department of Homeland Security in connection with a new visa application. This was a clear indication that she was alive and actively taking steps to establish a new life for herself. Although an address in Washington D.C. was provided on the application, authorities from the Washington D.C. Metro Police were unable to locate her there, leaving her exact location still unknown but providing a crucial clue that she was safe.
After a period of uncertainty for those who may have been concerned, the search for Zebiba Nuri has come to a quiet and positive conclusion. It has been confirmed that she has been located and is alive. The specific circumstances surrounding her disappearance and the details of where she was found have not been publicly disclosed, respecting her privacy after this personal journey. The case, which began with an unexpected departure from a New Jersey town and involved a key clue from a federal document in the nation's capital, is now closed. The resolution brings a sense of relief, knowing that Ms. Nuri is no longer considered a missing person and can move forward with her life.Last Seen: Apr 10, 2019
