Friends of Folk Legend Linda Perhacs Seek Public Help Locating Missing 82-Year-Old Singer

Concerned friends and collaborators of acclaimed folk singer Linda Perhacs are requesting public assistance in locating the 82-year-old artist, who has not been heard from directly in approximately eight months. Perhacs was released from a residential care facility under the supervision of her legal guardian, after which attempts by friends and colleagues to contact her have been unsuccessful, according to a statement provided to Fox News Digital by her former manager, Laurel Stearns.

The statement emphasizes that while friends remain deeply worried about Perhacs’ safety and wellbeing, they are not leveling accusations of wrongdoing. Instead, they are seeking confirmation that the celebrated singer-songwriter is in good health and receiving appropriate care. Multiple outreach efforts to both Perhacs and her legal guardian have yielded no response, the statement indicates.

The situation has triggered both an Adult Protective Services investigation and a formal police report, according to sources close to the artist. The ongoing inquiry has led investigators to withhold additional specifics as the case develops.

Perhacs achieved initial obscurity with her 1970 album “Parallelograms,” which later became a cult sensation upon rediscovery. She staged a career revival with 2014’s “The Soul of All Natural Things” and 2017’s “I’m a Harmony,” introducing her influential work to new audiences.

Friend Mark McNeill posted a public appeal on Instagram urging anyone with information to help locate Perhacs and confirm her safety. Those seeking to provide verified information are encouraged to contact her authorized representatives directly.
