Wife and two daughters of senior editor James Kim found in Oregon; search is still on for James Kim, who left the car on foot two days ago.
The wife and daughters of missing CNET senior editor James Kim have been found alive and airlifted to a local hospital, authorities announced at a press conference in Merlin, Ore., Monday afternoon.
James Kim left the car on snowshoes two days ago to seek help and has not been found, the official said. The search for him continues.
According to the official speaking at the news conference, the conditions of Kati, Penelope and Sabine are not yet known. More details are expected at a press conference at 5 p.m. PST, which CNET will stream live.
Kati Kim reportedly flagged down a helicopter rented by families of the missing persons.
After searches in Oregon's Curry and Douglas counties, new information on missing CNET senior editor James Kim and his family narrowed the search back to the Bear Camp area in Josephine County, according to reports Monday.
A cell phone tower received a signal from one of the family's cell phones at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday near Glendale, but officials say the signal is only an indicator the family could have been within 26 miles of Glendale at that time, according to a report in The Oregonian.
Good home video of the missed turnoff:

If he would've trekked left at the Creek (from his perspective backtracking the way they drove in),My bad, should read: "If he wouldv'e trekked right at the Creek (from his perspective backtracking the way they drove in), bla bla bla"
Point made and acknowledged. He didn't mean it the way it sounded. You were right to respond. (LOL! I have been known to leap down someone's throat FAR more than you did!)
The family might read these threads...can we move on and grant that we're all here because we cared about James and his family?
OK, I can follow that, from seeing the topo maps. Still can't figure out which road is called Bear Camp Road proper, though.
Joe Duck's site has a still picture with the stick pins hin it. Those stick pins made everything clear.
Very sad, very sad.
That's obvious. Still, it's endearing - they like the person, but think they're stupid.
Ummm, like I'm not "Southeren"?
W/O a hat and gloves and wearing tennis shoes, how many hours before hypothermia would have started to set in? Not too long, I suspect, since we loose heat through our head, hands and feet.
Hypothermia makes you think you are hot when you are actually cold and people start shucking clothes.
I use it the "good" way, too. It upsets me when this topic comes up, because it is almost always my first response to someone who is hurting and I mean it sincerely.
Now, because of people saying it's insulting, there will be some who are offended when I write it and will think I'm making fun of them.
Do I have to write a disclaimer, every time, at the bottom of my "bless your heart" posts? I think the mean people should write */sarc* after *theirs.*
That's all right...God's grace is sufficient to make up for all our shortcomings.
OMG!
So they should have stayed straight on the road and, instead, took the fork to the right? If it was dark and snowing I can understand how that could happen, the sign at the fork doesn't look all that large.
Bless your heart!
I posted this earlier...but if you look at this site...you will really get the idea of what happened and even why he decided to leave the road...amazing what you can do with google earth.

Look at each page and about to amazed to see what he faced and where he went...
"Bless your hear" generally is catty when it's used after a back-handed compliment.
How far South does one have to be born or to live? How many family members have to be DofConfed to qualify?
Back-handed compliments have nothing to do with what we're saying here.
Of course, now I'm a North Carolinian.
Bless *your* heart!
That's pretty far north, I'd say.
