Linda Perhacs Found Safe Days After Being Reported Missing
Friends said the 82-year-old folk singer was alive after an appeal for help, while police and Adult Protective Services handled the case.
- On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Police Department Missing Persons Unit confirmed that folk singer Linda Perhacs has been located and is "safe" after eight months missing.
- Perhacs was discharged from a residential care facility in Northridge, California, by her legal guardian eight months ago, after which she lost contact with friends and former collaborators.
- Citing HIPAA regulations, the LAPD declined to disclose her specific whereabouts or health status, though the update follows a public appeal from friend Mark McNeill earlier this week.
- A post on Perhacs' Instagram account confirmed she is "safe and in a new care facility," easing concerns among collaborators who had struggled to reach her guardian.
- Perhacs gained recognition as a folk legend decades after her 1970 debut album Parallelograms was rediscovered in the late Nineties, followed by releases The Soul of All Natural Things and I'm a Harmony.
