NET senior editor James Kim and his family are missing.

The 36-year-old Kim, his wife Kati, and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) left their home in San Francisco last week on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest. They were last seen on Saturday, November 25, in Seattle, according to the San Francisco Police Department, which has opened a missing persons' investigation. They were driving a 2005 silver Saab station wagon with California personalized plates of "DOESF."

Those with information about the Kim family's whereabouts are asked to contact the SFPD immediately--at 415-558-5508 during normal business hours and at 415-553-1071 after-hours. The Portland Police Department can be reached at 503-823-4000.

from CNET:

Oregon State Lieutenant Gregg Hastings has confirmed that searchers found a pair of pants they believe James Kim left as a marker at the bottom of a ravine, where he is believed to have traveled on foot. Unconfirmed reports from local news stations say rescuers may also have found another of his personal items near the pants.

Rescue teams are currently searching for James in a 5-mile stretch of a narrow canyon a few miles from where the car was found, Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson said at a press conference Tuesday, adding that "it is a very rugged, remote area; the teams are having some difficulty because of the terrain and conditions."

I think the spare tire fire would be the most effective. Especially in Oregon, a thick, black, oily-looking smoke column would get immediate attention.

If only they could have found a Spotted Owl to kill... now THAT would have gotten the immediate attention!

I hope he's found alive. Seems there are better ways to leave clues than stripping in such conditions.

I read on another thread that they now believe he must have packed a few extra items of clothing in the backpack he took. Maybe those pants got too wet and cold, so he changed them out for some others. Smart thing to do to stave off hypothermia!

I sure hope the care packages ALL have notes telling him that his wife and kids are OK! That alone would give him the strength to make it through this.

When we first visited here in '85, we went thru towns in Eastern Oregon that did not have electricity or telephones. It's still pretty much open range ranching over there, a million miles from Portland. It's the farthest one can be from an interstate in the contiguous 48, and we have three counties that individually are larger than New England.

I know people who have lived their entire lives here that would never go hunting without their GPS, it's that easy to get lost - happens several times a year.

FNC reporting a body has been found. Not officially identified as Kim.

Ok, I've been living under a rock. This is the first I'm hearing of this story. But here's the weird part. I just bought a gift for my wife yesterday after after seeing a review on CNET. After reading this thread and seeing a picture of him, I went back and checked. Sure enough, the review was by Jim Kim. Yikes!

Prayers up!

It is now a recovery operation. They have found his body and he is dead. What a shame. Tough holiday season for this family.

Now come the lawsuits against Rand-McNally, the website providing another map, the woman who warned them off that road, etc. :-(

One has to marvel at how the pioneers handled misadventure.

Post-liability insurance and post-litigation lawyers, we are much poorer, character-wise.
