Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP102347)
Paulina Roque Perez, a 63-year-old woman from Los Angeles, California, was last seen on January 30, 2019. The circumstances of her disappearance have raised concerns due to her age and potential vulnerabilities, as older adults, especially those with cognitive impairments like dementia or Alzheimer's, are at higher risk of becoming lost. Cases like hers have underscored the need for advanced tracking technologies and better coordination between law enforcement and social services.
In Los Angeles County, initiatives such as the LA Found program, which was launched around the time of Paulina's disappearance, have been put in place to help locate missing seniors. This program provides at-risk individuals with tracking bracelets, which can be used by law enforcement to locate them quickly if they go missing. Despite such efforts, Paulina’s case remains unresolved, and her family, along with local authorities, continues to search for answers.
The ongoing efforts to locate her reflect a broader challenge in Los Angeles, where many elderly individuals go missing each year. Programs like LA Found have helped recover some individuals, but the search for others, including Paulina, continues. Public involvement and awareness remain crucial, as authorities ask anyone with information to come forward to aid in these cases.Last Seen: Jan 30, 2019
