Our Story

Milagros is among the tens of thousands of BIPOC women who have gone missing with zero law enforcement intervention. Milagros Perez was reported as a missing person to the NYPD by 3 family members, yet no records were ever produced. After decades of advocacy for her abduction to be investigated, in 2023 her family filed court proceedings against the NYPD, and records of Milagros Perez's missing person report made by her partner in 1976 to the NYPD 114th Precinct were found. Her case was never investigated. Despite having police records recovered, to this day:

 

Milagros Perez is NOT listed as a Missing Person on the NYPD Missing Person Squad.

 

Milagros Perez is NOT listed in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database system because there is no police record of her being reported missing.

 

Milagros Perez is NOT listed on the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) database system because there are no police records of her being reported missing. 

 

The family of Milagros Perez continues to advocate for her case to receive the attention and response it deserves. We refuse to let her be just another statistic. Please join our cause.

 

Please donate to our legal funds and help us get Milagros listed on the NYPD Missing Person squad, CODIS, and NamUs DNA database systems.

 

Help Milagros' family get selected for the New York State Legislation S.4266-A/A.5088 Taskforce to ensure the representation of families experiencing this crisis. If you live in New York State and know any of these elected officials with the power to nominate Task force members, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, temporary resident of the NYS senate, Carl Heastie, speaker of the NYS assembly, Rob Ortt, minority leader of the NYS senate, William A. Barclay, minority leader of the NYS assembly, please tell them you would like to recommend Rafael Perez to the Task Force! While we appreciate your condolences, thoughts, and prayers, it is your actions to make sure Milagros’ legacy as a missing person matters, that we appreciate the most.
