Magdalena Perez was last seen on July 10, 1988, in Anchorage, Alaska, when she left her home at 10 p.m. to pick up her four-year-old child at a McDonald's on 36th and Old Seward Highway. She failed to arrive at the restaurant, and her abandoned vehicle was later discovered at Anchorage International Airport, suggesting a possible voluntary departure or foul play.
