CNET Editor's body found by Searchers (Update #941)
CNET TV ^ | 12-04-06 | From CNET TV

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.

Yep, we've got the stuff sacks with the bags, the liners, and the box of foot warmers.

You gotta understand it never snows much down here -- when we do winter camping in the Smoky Mountains we have all that stuff.

The "BOOM" when the burning tire explodes would be a real attention-grabber, too. Might want to stand back, lol.

The BOOM is to scare away the animals.

I guess you could also tear off strips from the car's tires, siphon gas out of the tank and light them on fire that way...

Seriously, good news and I hope Dad gets found alive.

I remember and I read his book about the incident. Very upbeat about his lot in life and feels comfortable about his decision. After all, had he not cut off his arm he would most likely have perished.

I'd wonder whether a 2m could get out without a repeater in the mountains

Probably not but civil and military receivers would pick up your signal once they launched a rescue effort. Another reason to tell someone where you're going and when you expect to arrive.

Indeed. As long as human creatures aren't a threat, they shouldn't be killed. And in practically no case should people want any human creature to be killed if it is unnecessary.

It was mentioned in articles that On-Star or Lo-Jack would have helped as well.

Yeah, it wouldn't be anywhere close to perfect, but it would be better than nothing. (Optimally you'd probably want one of those mobile HF rigs, but that's a bit of overkill for most people unless they'd be planning to actually use it on a regular basis.) You might get lucky with the CB though, at least at night. Even with the crappy sunspot cycle, you'd probably get out enough of a signal after dark to get the attention of a random trucker somewhere or something.

Yep, if the Civil Air Patrol's overhead, they'd pick up something sooner or later.

My dad used to fly with them (he's 82 and has hung up his goggles.) They located some lost folks, were able to save some.

On-Star saved my Mom's life when her SUV rolled in the North Georgia mountains.

Now that I read what I just typed I realize I sound like one of those goofy commercials, but it is, thankfully, the truth.

Lol. The PS article instructed to use the hubcap to hold the oil to make the smudge pot fire. I didn't mention "hubcap" because I didn't think there was another person alive who remembers those things.

Another case of City Slickers way out of their element.

Yeah, you're right, we're just frustrated right now trying to pick up the Laccadives . . . and that's with a 40m beam in the back yard!

Especially being close to I-5 or whatever.

A spare tire and a little gasoline makes a LOT of black smoke. This shows up well against a snow background...

No doubt. And my car comes with a built in GPS system ... if you log on to your account on the internet it shows you where it is, how far it has been driven each day and the highest speed it has been driven each day.

I wonder if he had good supplies and flares. He would need them to survive. Are you familar with the area he was in, and if so how remote is it?

I haven't seen any of those On-star Commercials lately..the ones that are actual On-Star calls of people in distress..Geez, I'd start crying when I heard them.

Ever try to cut a tire? Just burn the whole thing. LOTS O SMOKE.

I agree, good news so far, and hopefully more to follow.

Supposedly the wife was prone to be well prepared and [according to her family] packed survival supplies, food and blanks, et al for the trip.
