Slash Searching for Missing Inlaw

Velvet Revolver star Slash has launched a heartfelt appeal to help find his missing brother-in-law. The guitarist is hoping to help his wife, Perla Hudson, locate her brother, Ivan Pablo Padilla, who disappeared in Hollywood in December 2001.

Padilla is now 43 years old and was known to wear a gold chain with a medal bearing an Indian head - and Slash is urging anyone who knows of his whereabouts to email searchforivan@yahoo.com.

Slash and Hudson were married in 2001, and they have two children together.
