Auburn police are intensifying the search for a missing pregnant woman

AUBURN, Wash. – Authorities are intensifying their search for 21-year-old Jackelin Perez, who disappeared from her Auburn home under suspicious circumstances on the evening of October 13th.

Jackelin, six weeks pregnant and originally from Guatemala, has been missing for several days and police are asking the community to help find her.

Auburn police said Jackelin’s husband contacted her Monday morning and reported her missing. Investigators believe she was forcibly abducted from her home between 6 and 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Her husband, who was not home at the time, discovered she was missing about 20 minutes after the incident but did not notify authorities until the next day.

“This is a very alarming situation,” said Auburn Police Public Information Officer Kolby Crossley. “Our greatest concern is their health and well-being. We want to make sure she’s okay.”

Investigators have been working around the clock to find her, with grave concern for her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

“We have not ruled out any suspects,” Crossley said. “We are currently investigating anyone and everyone.”

To ensure the integrity of the investigation, police have not disclosed the exact location of her home but are actively seeking witnesses.

Jackelin and her husband emigrated from Guatemala less than a year ago and have been living in Auburn for about four months. Their limited English skills made finding them even more difficult, but police hope the community can provide important information.

“If you see her or have any information, please understand that she may have difficulty communicating in English,” Crossley said.

Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from traffic cameras and home security systems in the area. They encourage anyone with relevant video footage or information to come forward.

“We are in contact with her husband, who originally reported her missing, but we are keeping all avenues of investigation open at this time,” Crossley said.

Jackelin is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 100 pounds and with a scar on his left cheek. Anyone with information regarding her whereabouts is asked to call the Auburn Police Department Tip Line at 253-288-7403.
