Missing: Marizela Perez
I just got off the phone with my family.
This is my beautiful cousin, Marizela Perez:

She is a University of Washington undergrad and she has been missing since Saturday afternoon, when she left the Rainier Beach neighborhood headed to the UW Seattle campus. Her parents have been trying to reach her all weekend; she apparently never made it to campus and has not been heard from by phone/Internet. They’ve filed a missing persons report with the Seattle Police Department. Hospitals have been alerted, according to family members, and bus and train routes have been checked. No sign.
Here’s more info we’re trying to spread via Facebook and Q13Fox/KCPQ in Seattle:
MISSING PERSON
Name: Marizela Perez
Date Missing: March 5, 2011, 12:00-12:30 P.M.
Last Seen: Rainier Beach area, heading to UW Seattle campus to meet friends for lunch or study in the UW libraries
Possible Routes: Sound Link Light Rail stations, downtown/Chinatown areas, UW Seattle campus, U-district
Description – Asian female, 5’5” tall, 110 lbs, skinny build, asymmetrical bob with short bangs and brown/red highlights hairstyle, tattoo on left inner arm with the words ‘lahat ay magiging maayos’, last seen wearing denim jeans, light brown suede laced boots, possibly wearing green eye contacts, possibly carrying a plaid backpack with a Macbook Pro laptop, taking medication for depression.
Seattle-area readers, can you please help get the word out — and if you or anyone you know might know anything about Marizela’s (nickname: “Em-Em”) whereabouts, please get in touch with the Seattle Police Department/UWPD or contacts listed at Facebook link above ASAP.
Marizela, if you are able to let your dad and mom know that you are okay, please contact them. You are so loved.
***
“Lahat ay magiging maayos” is Tagalog for “All will be well.”
May God make it so. Please keep my cousin and her family in your prayers. Thank you.

Michelle,
I live in Puget Sound. I don’t have much to offer in the way of help but I’ll definitely post this up on my FB page if that can help in any way. Looking to God…
Praying she will be found safe.
Prayers from here, too, Michelle.
in my prayers hopefully she’ll turn up safely soon.
Although we’ve never met, our thoughts are with you and your family.
Our family is praying for Marizela and your family.
Your family is in my prayers Michelle.
I’m originally from Seattle and have a lot of family and friends there. Posted to my FB page.
Our prayers go out to you and Marizela’s family as well.
Praying for Marizela and your family.
Hoping she is found, Michelle! Praying!
I hope your cousin’s okay, Michelle. She indeed looks like a lovely person. Do what you have to do.
oh my, please let her be found safe and sound.
Praying, Michelle, and BELIEVING that what we ask, we receive. We ask for her immediate, safe, healthy return.
I keep checking back to see if there are any updates…..still praying..
Prsying for her Michelle…
Praying…
Best wishes and prayers for a speedy, safe return.
Still praying in Florida…checking frequently for updates.
May God protect Marizela and keep her safe, may she be found soon, and may He comfort and strengthen your family until she is found.
On my knees now…
“But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
Stay strong Michelle. Pray in love, believing – and never, never give up hope. You and Marizela are loved.
It hurt my heart to read this post. Best wishes for a safe and happy ending to this. I’m so sorry.
Praying for her return safe and soon.
Praying for Marizela and all of your family.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
I just got here after the virus scare. I have started lifting prayers for the safe return of MM’s cousin!! Please, God, keep her safe!
Hoping and praying ALL WILL BE WELL!
Trust in Him, when to simply trust Him seems the hardest thing of all.
Please add my prayers to those of all the other posters.
I add my prayers to this list.
Michelle, if you are reading this, have you told Fox news about this? Since you are on at least one time per week, sometimes more, they could get the word out. Also, you might want to get in touch of America’s Most Wanted. They post missing people daily, I believe.
Still prayers for Marizela’s safe return.
L
Prayers and tears. Godspeed, Marizela.
My hopes and prayers are with Marizela that she returns safely to her loving family and friends. God watch over and protect “Em, Em”.
My prayers go out to you and family. May God keep her safe.
Ditto all the prayers. May God bless and keep her safe. Checking throughout the day for a happy update.
letget,
I have reached out to Victoria Taft here in the Portland area kindly asking is she will pass the word on her radio show.
Lest anyone get any misimpressions here, it’s very typical for Filipino families to stay in very close touch w/ one another. Even while at work or out of town, my wife knows of our daughters’ whereabouts on a -constant- basis.
All “troop movements” are reported to HQ ( mom ) directly. If the girls don’t return mom’s incessant phone calls that means I will be getting phone calls. And yes, any unreturned call is considered serious stuff. Just wanted to point out this isn’t likely an over reaction. We continue to pray.
My prayers for Marizela and for you and your family, Michelle. Stay strong.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.
I will definitely pray for your cousin. I hope she will be okay.
Cannot imagine your anguish. I hope all turns out well.
Michelle, Your dear cousin is in our thoughts and prayers. May the Holy Spirit protect her and guide her home.
Alert re-posted at my place.

Prayers for Em Em and the entire family.
Prayers for her safe return, Michelle. God bless…
She’s in our prayers, sweetie. Hang in there.
(sigh) I keep waiting for a good news update.
I feel very personally and fervently my admiration and appreciation for Michelle, her brains, her courage, her grace, and her value to our country. This in spite of the fact that I have never seen or had the least contact with our hostess other than through her public work. Whatever touches Michelle or concerns her welfare touches and concerns me. I fervently hope for the safe return of Marizela to her family.
I keep coming back looking for a positive update. I’ll keep praying.
Michelle, I am praying for Marizela’s safe return to her parents and for peace for your whole family.
From your lips to God’s ears:
“Lahat ay magiging maayos”
I am committing to fasting and praying until she is found.
I’ve been checking back all day too. Still praying for a happy reunion before the day is over.
Still praying.
Still hoping.
Still confident.
Praying that your young cousin will be ok, and that she will be reunited with her family soon.
May God return the girl to her family soon.
Michelle, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for Marizela’s safe return.
I keep coming back to see if there has been an update.
Still here, with faith.
I’m so sorry to hear of this Michelle. I send all my heartfelt wishes and prayers to Marizela, you Michelle, and your entire family…
Prayers from here too. Facebooked it, wish I could do more.
It’s nice when diverse people come together in common concern. Good on ya.
Deepest prayers for her safe return and strength for you and your family!
My prayers are with Em-Em and family. May she be found safe and well.
Never give up on her safe return.
I am so so sorry Michelle. Can’t imagine what you are going through.
You are in my prayerful thoughts.
I hope she is found safe soon! God speed!
I am so sorry to hear about your cousins dissapearance. I know many people in the Seattle area that are already looking for her and many more that I will be passing the information along to.
In the meantime, my prayers are with your cousin for her safe return, as well as with you and your family to bring you a measure of comfort.
My thoughts and prayers are with Em-Em Michelle. I wish that I could offer more.
May God protect her.
Holding out all hope for the best outcome. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
God please watch over Marizela. Send your Angels to guard her and to bring her to safety.
I read about this on another blog so the word is definitely out there. Hoping for a safe, speedy return for Marizela.
This is a spiritual battle. Prayer in Jesus’ name is powerful, but fasting along with it is mighty. Please, fellow lovers of Michelle, join me in a fast until Marizela is safely found. I was involved in a similar situation a number of years ago, and the young teen girl was miraculously found safe. My prayer partner and I committed to eating nothing until she was found.
I’m praying for Marizela and her family, too.
Michelle, all I can offer you are my prayers. All of us here wish we could do so much more.
That’s probably the best thing to offer anyway Flyover.
This thing has been weighing on my heart all day. I’ll go to sleep with another prayer for Em Em and family and wake up hoping for good news.
Please let us know any developments Michelle. God bless you and your family allways.
I have family in the Seattle and Portland areas. Have sent this info to them.
Your cousin is in my prayers for her safe return.
Nothing better.
When things like this happen minutes seem like hours. Days seem like weeks. Rest is impossible and helplessness overwhelms you.
All that you have left is the power of prayer.
We all need to remember that regardless of what happens, we should not focus on “why,” but “what for.”
*There’s is always room for more prayer with bjc; I shall lift your cousin up in my thoughts and prayers that she will come forth and be united with her family!
Prayers from every veteran here in Texas…may your family feel the hands of Jesus hold you and comfort you.
Still praying.
In the area, spreading word.
Be assured of our prayers. Mary and Joseph lost their Son for three days, may they comfort your family as they do know your pain.
Wishing MM and family a peaceful night with good news tomorrow. I’m coming down with the monster of all colds. Signing off for the night, but my prayers will continue.
Praying hard, hard, hard. Please let her be found safe…
Is it my imagination or are there a rash of missing students?
Michelle, my prayers go out to you and your family and I pray your beautiful cousin makes it home safe and sound.
My prayers are with you.
My prayers are sent..
Prayers up from Ol’ Trav for your cousin and your family. God Bless.
I’m sending up prayers that your cousin will be found safe and returned to your family very soon. I cannot imagine what you must be going through, but I do know that the power of prayer is great.
I am so sorry to read about this news. You, and your entire family, are in my prayers. A candle is lit for her safe return.
Prayers from NC.
Michelle, you are in my prayers always. Tonite, I will pray for your cousin & family.
I saw that this was mentioned on King 5 News tonight so the word has gone out broadly.
Was hoping to see a good update by now.
Will continue to pray.
I’m still praying. I’ve also mentioned it on other blogs I read.
I pray God that You bring her back safely today.
Exactly my thoughts. Praying for a happy resolution… soon!
You and your family are in our prayers, Michelle. We hope everything will turn out all right.
I’ve been saying prayers for Marizela daily throughout the day since I saw this post, and I’ll continue to do so until we find out she’s ok. God be with Michelle and her family, and please let Marizela come home safe.
Sigh. Tears. Hear us Lord. Please bring this girl home today. Comfort this family in crisis. In you Lord, lahat ay magiging maayos.
Checked the blog first thing this morning, hoping….still praying for Marizela’s safe return to your family. May God comfort and give you strength while you wait today. You are in many hearts and minds, Michelle.
Our prayers are with Marizela and the family for her safe return.
Checked your site first thing this morning….still praying this ends well for Marizela…in Jesus’ holy name.
Michelle,
I am praying your your cousin Marizela’s safe return. I rarely post so I just wanted you to know I am praying the Lord bless and keep her right now. Whatever happened I pray He will deliver her safely home to her family. Lord let these words that have been spoken and written happen already and in accordance with Your will. I these things have already come to pass and we only need to see them with our believing eyes. Lord magnify the prayers of all who are praying for her safe return under any and all circumstances and that the victory is yours and knowledge of that victory reinforces our faith.
Amen
Michelle, hoping and praying this ends well for Marizela and your entire family. Marizela is a beautiful young woman.
This is a very scary and dangerous world our beautiful young daughters are having to grow up in nowadays, nothing like the world I grew up in 40 years ago.
May God lead her back into the embrace of her family.
Everyone at C4P is praying for her safe return.
