PRUDENVILLE, MI — Police in Roscommon County are seeking the public’s help in finding a pair of teen sisters whom they believe were taken from their home.

Tamara Perez, 15, and Iris Perez, 13, were reported missing between 7:30 and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 28. The pair were taken from their adopted home in Prudenville, with Undersheriff Benjamin Lowe saying it’s unclear whose company they are in.

The sisters used to live in Florida, where their biological parents’ rights to them were terminated, Lowe said. They have lived in Roscommon County for several months, having moved north with their adoptive family, he said.

“It’s unknown right now whether the biological family are suspects in the case,” Lowe said. “We are currently working with Florida to try to determine if the biological family is involved in this or if it’s somebody else. We don’t have the answer to those questions yet.”

Surveillance cameras captured images of a newer model white Jeep Cherokee in the area about the time of the girls’ disappearance, Lowe said.

“We can’t say for certain if that is the vehicle that took the, but we suspect that it is,” he said.

Deputies have interviewed several friends of the girls, none of whom have had direct communication with them since their disappearance, Lowe said.

Deputies, the Michigan State Police troopers, the Michigan Intelligence Operations Center, and law enforcement in Florida are working together in hopes of finding the girls.

Police are asking anyone with information on the girls’ whereabouts to call the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office at 989-275-5101.

I wish they would clarify "taken" in this context. It seems more like picked up vs. kidnapped. IMO

Search continues for missing teens taken from adoptive parents

Glad to hear this:

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken over this investigation," Roscommon County Undersheriff Ben Lowe said in an email when asked for updates.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

The Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office initially began investigating the disappearance of the girls, with the FBI's Detroit field office joining the search this week.

The girls had moved from Florida to Michigan with their adoptive parents in March after being found in the Port St. Lucie, Florida home of their biological mother, whose had lost custody rights, according to the FBI.

Surveillance video from around the time of the Perez sisters' disappearance, coupled with the account of one juvenile witness, has led investigators to believe the sisters may have been traveling in a newer white Jeep Cherokee at some point.

Teen sisters have been missing from Michigan since June. The FBI is joining the search.

Tamara Perez, 15, and her sister Iris Perez, 14, were reported missing on June 28 after disappearing from their adopted parents' home in Michigan.

The bureau’s Detroit Office, Bay City Resident Agency, and Miami, Florida Field Office have joined in the search for 15-year-old Tamara Perez and her sister, 13-year-old Iris Perez, who were last seen June 28th near their home in Prudenville. A newer model white Jeep was reportedly seen leaving the area around the time the girls disappeared.

Officials say the sisters lived in Florida with their adoptive parents until March, when they moved to Michigan after being found at their biological mother’s home in Port St. Lucie. According to the FBI, in addition to Florida and Michigan, the teens have connections to Winchester, Tennessee.

These girls have had a rough life. So much we don't know about their story.

 

[Aurora90]

I hope wherever they are they are safe and ok.

 

[Soulmagent]

I hope wherever they are they are safe and ok.

I went to check to see if they had resolved this case yet. Hopefully these kids did run back to their family. However the adoptive parents moving out of state make me have a few uncomfortable questions.Not accusing,just noticed. Nothing is coming up about them being found on google .

 

[BrownBear]

Until approximately March of 2023, the sisters lived in Florida with their adoptive parents. They moved to Michigan after they were found in the biological mother’s home in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
