Explained simply
Linda Perhacs is an American singer-songwriter best known for her 1970 album Parallelograms. The record attracted little attention at first but later developed a following for its unusual, atmospheric folk sound.
She returned to music decades later, working with younger musicians and releasing further recordings. In recent years, concern about her welfare has been raised by people who knew and worked with her after they lost contact.
The case also involves arrangements for the care of an older adult. A legal guardian is someone authorised to make or help make decisions on another person’s behalf, while Adult Protective Services is a public agency that can investigate concerns about vulnerable adults.
