On June 28, 2023, 13-year-old female Iris Mae Perez was last seen in Houghton Lake, Michigan, when she and her older sister Tamara were observed by a neighbor walking toward the woods near their home. Iris is described as having black hair and brown eyes, standing five feet tall and weighing about 140 pounds. At the time she was last seen she wore a black t-shirt featuring an American flag inside a pair of red lips and green fleece pajama pants patterned with stars; a small star tattoo marked the side of her neck.

The circumstances of the family’s move to Michigan and the sudden disappearance of both sisters just months after settling in have left many questions. What the neighborhood sighting of the two girls walking into the woods meant, who was driving the white Jeep Cherokee, and whether the sisters left willingly or with someone they knew have not been resolved. The case remains active and classified as endangered missing, with investigators and family members still awaiting answers. If anyone has information about Iris Mae Perez, her possible alias A-Dayla Precious Crowder, the white Jeep Cherokee, or movements toward Florida or Tennessee, please contact the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office.
