- She is now reported to be in new care.

## Summary

Singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs has been found safe after friends, collaborators and members of the music community reported concerns over an extended loss of contact with her. Police reports were filed to establish her welfare, and her former manager, Laurel Stearns, said law enforcement had confirmed that the 82-year-old musician was safe; those close to her have asked for her privacy to be respected.

The concern followed Perhacs’s discharge from a residential care facility eight months earlier while under the supervision of her legal guardian, after which neither could be reached. Stearns said Perhacs is now in a new care facility, and thanked authorities and supporters who shared information; Perhacs is best known for her 1970 album Parallelograms, later acclaimed as a psychedelic folk cult classic.
