Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10087) and 4 other sources
Yolanda Patlan, 38, was last seen on January 11, 2001, in Calexico, California. She disappeared along with her six-year-old son, Alejandro Perez Jr. Both were last known to be at their residence, and they have not been seen or heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, Yolanda was wearing a blue sweatsuit and was described as a Hispanic female with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5’3” tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds.

Very few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding their disappearance. Their case has remained unsolved for over two decades, and there is little public information available regarding any specific leads or developments in the investigation. Law enforcement continues to urge anyone with information to contact the Calexico Police Department as they seek answers for Yolanda and her son.

Despite the passing years, the cases of Yolanda and Alejandro remain open, with hope that new information could help bring closure to their family.
