Jose Luis Perez, 62, was last seen in Simi Valley, California on July 16, 2024. He was reportedly in contact with friends and family that day and may be with his wife, Stephanie Elizabeth Perez, who is also missing. The couple were believed to be on foot and are the subject of an Endangered Alert because of concerns for their safety. Jose is described as 5 feet 9 inches, about 190 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Authorities say the couple likely did not have access to a vehicle, and the Simi Valley Police Department is leading the investigation. The California Department of Justice issued a bulletin with their details, and flyers, social media posts and local news coverage have been used to raise awareness. Family members say it is unusual for them to be out of contact for this length of time.

If anyone saw Jose or Stephanie Perez or knows their whereabouts, contact the Simi Valley Police Department at (805) 583-6950.
