Woman missing for two months

STARLA PERRY-GOINGS
MUNISING- The search for missing Alger County woman Starla Perry-Goings remains in progress, with no new updates. Wednesday marked two months since Starla Goings was last seen on Aug. 15.
“Unfortunately there is no further information we can provide at this time other than don’t stop looking for my mom,” said Starla Goings daughter, Steffanie Rhen. “Please don’t stop looking for her or think that anything anyone has seen is too insignificant.”
The 65-year-old was reported missing at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 17 by her adult children, who had requested that the Alger County Sheriff’s Office conduct a welfare check on her. Family members had last spoken with her that Friday.
The Alger County Sheriff’s Office could not be reached for comment.
She was last seen as she was leaving their home around midnight on Aug. 15. Goings’ vehicle had been found by deputies around dusk on Aug. 17, in a roadside lot on Peninsula Point Road in Munising Township, a short distance from her residence on Sixteen Mile Lake Road. Additional search efforts were conducted on Aug. 18 near Peninsula Point Road with the assistance of partner agencies, including personnel from the Michigan State Police, the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Goings was not located during those efforts.
The investigation remains ongoing. The Mining Journal will continue to provide updates on this story as they are made available.
Starla Perry-Goings is a white female, 5’4″, approximately 160 pounds with white hair and brown eyes. A description of her clothing during the time she went missing is unknown.
