Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP127378) and 2 other sources
Jose Luis Perez, a 62-year-old male, was last seen in Simi Valley, California on July 16, 2024. Jose Perez was reportedly last in contact with his friends and family that day, and he may be in the company of his wife, Stephanie Elizabeth Perez, who is also missing. The couple’s disappearance has prompted concern, and they were last believed to be on foot, which has been classified as an "Endangered Alert" due to potential concerns for their safety. The Simi Valley Police Department is leading the investigation and has requested the public's help in providing any information that could assist in locating the couple.

Jose Perez is described as having brown hair, brown eyes, standing at 5'9", and weighing approximately 190 pounds. The last confirmed sighting of the couple was in Simi Valley, where they resided. Authorities believe that they did not have access to a vehicle, making it more challenging to trace their movements. The California Department of Justice has issued a bulletin, listing their details and asking residents to be vigilant for any sightings. Family members have expressed deep concern, emphasizing that it is unusual for the couple to be out of contact for such an extended period.

Community members are encouraged to contact the Simi Valley Police Department if they have any leads. The police have set up dedicated lines for tips, and they emphasize the importance of swift public cooperation in these cases. Flyers and social media posts have been circulated to raise awareness, and local news outlets have also reported on the ongoing search efforts. Anyone with information about Jose or Stephanie Perez’s whereabouts is urged to call the Simi Valley Police Department at (805) 583-6950.
