Folk Legend Linda Perhacs Missing After Care Facility Release

Folk music pioneer Linda Perhacs, aged 82, has been reported missing by her concerned friends and collaborators. Perhacs, who was discovered in the 1960s and later re-entered the music scene with albums in 2014 and 2017, was released from a residential care facility in the Los Angeles area about eight months ago, around November 2025. Her legal guardian is reportedly uncontactable.

Friends and collaborators, including musicians Julia Holter and Mark McNeill, stated in a joint social media post on Monday, July 27, 2026, that they have been unable to reach Perhacs since her release. They have emphasized that their intention is not to allege wrongdoing but rather to confirm her safety and wellbeing. They are seeking any verified information about her current location or contact details.
