Singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs<\/a> has been found after friends and family plead with the public, revealing they couldn\u2019t get in contact with her for eight months.<\/p>\n

Due to US privacy laws, the unit could not publicly share Perhacs\u2019 current location.<\/p>\n

The welcome update to Perhacs\u2019 case comes after friends of the psychedelic folk<\/a> singer took to\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0on July 28 to announce her disappearance<\/a> and ask the public for their help.<\/p>\n

A joint post<\/a>\u00a0by Perhacs\u2019 former manager, Laurel Sterns, and musicians Julia Holter, Mark McNeill, and Jessica Hundley said it has now been months since they last heard from Perhacs.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Perhacs] was discharged from a residential care facility approximately eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then, friends and longtime collaborators have been unable to reach her and repeated attempts to contact her guardian have reportedly gone unanswered. Please help us locate Linda to ensure her wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to a comment on the post, McNeill explained that the group had already filed a police report and hired an elder abuse attorney to file a petition with the state.<\/p>\n

In an email sent to\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a>, Hundley claimed that Perhacs had been living at the facility for several years, struggling with dementia, adding that they had also now hired a private investigator to help find her.<\/p>\n

The friends didn\u2019t want to \u201cintrude\u201d on Perhacs\u2019 privacy but simply ensure her safety. <\/p>\n

\"Linda<\/p>\n

\u201cConcern is growing among friends, collaborators, and members of the music community regarding the well-being and current whereabouts of acclaimed singer-songwriter\u00a0Linda\u00a0Perhacs,\u201d wrote Stearns in a separate statement shared with multiple outlets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Stearns added that at the moment, \u201cthose issuing this\u00a0statement\u00a0are not alleging wrongdoing\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather, they are seeking confirmation that\u00a0Linda\u00a0is safe, well, and receiving appropriate care, while expressing concern over the prolonged absence of communication with a beloved public figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhacs is best known for her 1970 album Parallelograms, which went relatively unnoticed at the time; it was rediscovered in the \u201990s and is now known as a lost psychedelic folk classic.<\/p>\n

She released her second album, The Soul of All Natural Things, in 2014, and her third, I\u2019m A Harmony, in 2017.<\/p>\n

Perhacs appears to have an active Instagram account, that seems to have recently been taken over by friends and family.<\/p>\n
