CNET.com Editor missing...
I know there are a quite a few tech fans on the forums. This is pretty shocking news, but one of the editors/reviewers of CNET.com (James Kim) has gone missing, along with his family. Very strange to see this happen, I frequent that site pretty often and I've watched/read quite a few of his reviews.
Let's hope all turns out well.

Crazy stuff. I've been reading about this since it happened. God I hope his car isn't somewhere in a ravine or ditch. I guess the authorities have pinpointed a place along an Oregon highway where from when he was last seen to where he could have gotten...
Hope he and family are alright.

Doesn't look promising.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/06/mis....ap/index.html
Searchers tracking a creek in a steep canyon found a pair of gray pants on Tuesday that apparently belonged to James Kim, 35. His family said he was wearing them over a pair of jeans.
"This is frustrating. We are so close," Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson said Tuesday evening. "There are people pouring their heart and soul into this. We are not going to quit until we find him."
His wife and two daughters were rescued Monday at their car, stuck in the snow on a remote road.
Kim went about two miles along the road then headed down into a drainage area, said Lt. Gregg Hastings of the Oregon State Police. The pants were found about a mile from where Kim left the road.
"It could be a sign he's trying to indicate the path he was going," Hastings said.
It also could mean Kim suffered severe hypothermia, said Dr. Jon Jui, professor of emergency medicine at Oregon Health and Science University. Jui said severe hypothermia causes people to become disoriented and have a false sense of warmth, which can lead to them disrobing.

I've been following this story with interest, and really do hope for happy endings.
Don't they say to stick with the car in circumstances like this? Rationale being that at least you'll have shelter, and that the vehicle is more likely to be spotted?

I think you are right, but if I've been there for a number of days and my family is without food I think I would consider setting out. Although I would probably stay on the road, jus for the clear view of the sky, less energy required to keep moving and chance to intercept someone.
Perhaps he left the pants behind becasue they were wet. (thinking positively)

He has been found - condition unknown (per CNet). No details yet
EDIT: R.I.P. James Kim

That's really sad. If he had stayed with his family he likely would have been ok too.

Yeah it's really sad. His body was found earlier this afternoon. He's from the Bay Area and they own 2 really good stores in SF. Ive been to one of them before.
It's such a sad story that he went out for help and didnt survive. Poor man. So brave for trying to help his family..and so young too..only 35 years old.

Some interesting info from Anderson Cooper's blog:
- You can survive for three hours without shelter
- You can survive for three days without water
- You can survive for three weeks without food
So now I know. And now the rest of us know. If you have to make a choice between food, water and shelter from the cold, then shelter wins out in a big way.

A tough choice made by James Kim - after 9 days I know I would have wondered if anyone was looking.

This is the part I can't understand? How is it possible it took 9 days to locate this vehicle that was stuck on the road the whole time? I am no expert but it seems that if these resuce people knew what they were doing he would still be alive.

The initial search area was basically from Portland to Gold Beach.
That's half the state.
It was quite some time before they were able to figure out where the family MIGHT have taken a wrong turn.
What's amazing to me is that nobody else got that far up that road in 9 days. You would think some outdoorsman would have travelled the road for one reason or another.

An interesting articl from Spencer Kim (James Kim's father) in the Jan.6 Washington Post.
Quote:
|
Similarly frustrating was that we did not know about a transmission into James's cellphone on the night his family became stranded until the evening of Dec. 1 -- three full days after the San Francisco Police Department was notified that James and his family were missing. Remarkably, this information was confirmed not by authorities but by conscience-driven cellphone company engineers who saw fit to volunteer their time. This information proved critical to significantly reducing the search area, and it allowed for the discovery and safe rescue of James's wife, Kati, and my granddaughters, Penelope and Sabine, less than two days later.
