Authorities in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, are being asked to help locate Riley Dolan, a 16-year-old girl reportedly last seen in the borough on October 14, 2026.
A missing-juvenile notice circulating online says Riley’s last known sighting was on October 14 and that the most recent reported phone contact occurred on October 18. Her whereabouts have not been confirmed in the information reviewed for this report.
The notice directs people with information to contact the Tinton Falls Police Department and lists Detective Sergeant William Rodriguez as a contact. However, TributeNews has not independently located a corresponding official police announcement confirming the details.
Because this case involves a minor, information about her appearance, clothing, movements and circumstances should be shared only when supported by an authenticated alert or a direct statement from law enforcement.
What Is Known About Riley Dolan’s Disappearance?
The circulating notice identifies Riley Dolan as 16 years old and places her last known sighting in Tinton Falls, Monmouth County, New Jersey, on October 14.
It also gives October 18 as the date of the most recent reported phone contact. The notice does not explain the circumstances of that contact or establish where Riley was at the time.
No verified physical description, clothing details or confirmed account of the events leading to her reported disappearance was available in the sources reviewed.
The information should therefore be treated cautiously until the police department or another authoritative source publishes a matching alert or confirms the details.
How to Share Information
The notice circulating online lists the Tinton Falls Police Department as the agency to contact and provides the following number for Detective Sergeant William Rodriguez: 732-542-3400, extension 467.
Readers should verify that contact information against the police department’s official channels before relying on it. The Tinton Falls Police Department’s official website is available at https://tfpolice.org/.
Anyone who believes they have information relevant to an active missing-person investigation should contact law enforcement directly. In an immediate emergency, call 911.
People sharing the report on social media should preserve the distinction between confirmed information and details that have not been independently verified. They should avoid posting rumors, speculative explanations or unverified photographs that could misidentify someone.
Why Official Confirmation Matters
Missing-person alerts can change quickly as investigators receive new information. A notice may be updated, corrected or withdrawn if a person is located, which makes checking the latest official information especially important.
For cases involving minors, inaccurate descriptions or outdated contact details can complicate efforts to share useful information. Readers should prioritize police announcements and verified updates from the family or responsible authorities.
At the time of writing, TributeNews could not independently confirm Riley’s current status through an official police announcement located during its research. This does not establish that the reported disappearance is false; it means the available information could not be fully verified from the official sources found.
