New Reward in Cold Case Murder Investigation of New Jersey High School Student Killed on Way Home

Investigators in New Jersey are hoping a new reward for information in a cold case murder will help them solve the mystery of who killed a high school senior on her way home from her job 16 years ago.

Nancy Noga of Sayreville, 17, left her job at a store on Route 9 in Old Bridge on Jan. 7, 1999, and never returned home, according to Middlesex prosecutors. 

Her body was discovered by a passerby in a wooded area behind the Mini Mart Plaza shopping center on Ernston Road in Sayreville on Jan. 12, 1999. 

There have been no arrests in the case. 

Prosecutors say a reward is being offered to anyone who anonymously provides information that leads to the arrest of a suspect in Noga's killing. Those who call will be given instructions on how to collect cash rewards by using a numerical code that will be recognized by a local bank, which will pay the rewards, according to authorities. 

Crime Stoppers may be reached at 800-939-9600, or at middlesextips.com. Text messages can also be sent to CRIMES (274637) with the keyword "midtip" followed by a message. 

People can also call Sgt. Mark Zambrzycki at the Sayreville Police Department at 732-525-5406 or Sgt. Scott Crocco at the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office at 732-745-4471.
