MIssing Nick Stahl, Terminator 3 Emails He is Alive

Stahl in touch: Nick sent an email to his inner circle to let them know he is OK it has emerged

Missing Terminator 3 star Nick Stahl has calmed the fears of loved ones by sending them an email to say he is alive.

The actor said he was fine and receiving treatment for substance abuse problems in the electronic letter he sent to his inner circle.

The 32-year-old, who played John Conner in the 2003 action hit, also apologised for the raising fears about his safety, and pledged to stick out a period in rehab as he battles to get his drug and alcohol issues under control.

According to TMZ, his friends and family are hopeful he will live up to his word, though they are skeptical.  

In an interesting twist, he did not send the message to his wife Roseann, despite her being the one who reported him missing.

They are currently estranged, and she had gone to court in February so he would be banned from seeing their two-year-old daughter Marlo if he failed a drug test.

It comes after she spoke out in the media to voice her fears he is dead.

She said she feared he may have lost his battle with substance abuse and overdosed.

The 30-year-old reported him missing earlier this week after he failing to get in touch since May 9.

She told People: 'He could have overdosed, that's one thought. 

'And I'm wondering if there will be a body recovered.'

She informed the police Nick as a missing person on May 14, and it came after the pair suffered a number of domestic problems.

In court documents she claimed he was abusing drugs and said she was afraid for their daughter's safety. 

She demanded that his visitation with Marlo be limited to just 8 hours a week and that all visits be supervised.

She also wanted Mr Stahl to prove he wasn't abusing drugs around their child, asking that he present 'proof of a negative result for a test for drugs and alcohol within the 24 hours prior to his scheduled visitation time.'

She claims they both were happy to file the legal paperwork in early February to motivate him to get better, and he had been living away with a male friend since that time.

Roseann also said she does not consider the two of them separated or estranged.
