Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65804) and 9 other sources

On a spring day in May 2019, 17-year-old Zoe Ross was at her school in Morristown, New Jersey, when she vanished. At approximately 1:00 p.m., she left the school building without permission and before classes had been dismissed for the day. She was reported missing just thirty minutes later, but by then, she was gone and has not been heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, Zoe was described as a white female, standing between 5'5' and 5'7' and weighing between 130 and 145 pounds. She had shoulder-length brown hair, which was distinguished by a pink streak, and she has green eyes. On the day she was last seen, she was wearing a gray sweatshirt and black pants.

The circumstances leading up to Zoe's disappearance provide a heart-wrenching context to her case. At the time she went missing, she was living in a group home located in Freehold, New Jersey. It is known that Zoe struggled with her mental health, specifically with depression, and had made suicidal statements in the past, classifying her as an endangered missing person. Originally from Ukraine, Zoe had been adopted. An investigation was launched by the Morristown Police Department, and her case was registered with both the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

Years have passed since Zoe Ross was last seen, and few details about her case have been made public. The lack of information and the passage of time have left her loved ones and community without answers. Her social media had reportedly been inactive for a considerable time before she even vanished, adding another layer of difficulty to the search. The overview of this case is one of profound sadness and lingering questions. A vulnerable teenager with a history of emotional distress walked away from her school, and the trail went cold almost immediately. Despite the ongoing efforts of law enforcement, the case remains unsolved, a painful and unresolved chapter in the lives of those who knew her. The Morristown Police Department continues to be the point of contact for any information regarding Zoe's whereabouts.
