Miguel Alcadio Perez, 47, was last seen by his father in Paterson, New Jersey, in March 2020. He kept largely to himself but visited his father every few months; after that March visit he stopped all contact. He is described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 140 to 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Miguel intentionally concealed his home address from family, asking to be dropped off away from where he actually lived. That practice left investigators without a clear last known location and complicated efforts to retrace his movements. The New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit is handling the case and has asked for the public’s help.

If anyone in Paterson or the surrounding area saw Miguel after March 2020 or knows where he was living then, please come forward with any information that might help his family.
