Eminem's ex-wife Kim Mathers has gone missing for the second time in two months, prompting another police search.

Drug-plagued Mathers, 29, hasn't been seen in her native Michigan for almost two months.

Macomb County sheriff MARK HACKEL says, "So far we have no tips or leads, which is unusual for a high-profile person. I can only hope that wherever she is, she's getting some help that will benefit her, and not doing something that will hinder her case."

Mathers fled a rehabilitation facility on 6 April (04) to get together with an 18-year-old former patient with whom she reportedly had sexual relations the first time she was there, sources tell America's STAR magazine.

She reportedly complained of chest pains as an excuse to leave the facility.

But Eminem's uncle TODD NELSON claims Mathers and his nephew, who have an eight-year-old daughter together called HAILIE, have been in regular contact.

She says, "They try never to meet in public. Hailie has seen her mom, too. And Kim's been calling them but it careful not to use her cell phone."
