Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP21198) and 5 other sources
Amalia Perez, a 78-year-old woman, was last seen at her home in Los Angeles, California, on January 2, 1991. Described as a dependent adult, Amalia had medical conditions that made her vulnerable. She had a scar on the left side of her abdomen and wore a full set of dentures. At the time of her disappearance, she may have used the last name "Espinosa." Despite thorough investigations, little information has surfaced about the circumstances of her disappearance.

Amalia's case is classified as endangered missing, and authorities have no solid leads on what might have happened to her. Her case remains unsolved, with the Los Angeles Police Department continuing to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

For further details, her case is listed in multiple missing person databases, including the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) and the California Department of Justice.
