MISSING: James Kim of CNET [UPDATED]

Now this is downright scary and sad.

CNET editor James Kim and his family are missing. Last weekend Kim and his family were headed to Seattle from the San Francisco Bay Area. They have not been seen since Saturday evening in a hotel in the area of Gold Beach or Portland, Oregon.

They were last seen driving a silver 2005 SAAB station wagon with Califonia license plates reading “DOESF”.

I you have seen the Kim family or know anything about their whereabouts, you are urged to immediately call the San Francisco Police Department at 415-558-5508 (after hours please call 415-553-1071) or Portland Police at 503-823-4000.

All of us here at Deep Thought hope and pray that James and his family are safe and sound and that we’ll hear from them soon.

UPDATE:As has been reported elsewhere, Kati Kim and the children were rescued Monday.

We learned not long ago that James Kim’s body has been found in the Oregon wilderness. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Kim family.

Damn. I pray everything is OK.

2.

I hate reading about stuff like this.  An entire family gone!

3.

They found his wife and kids. They are still looking for him.

4.

I’m so sorry that he did not make it.  He seemed like a wonderful husband and father.  My prayers are with his friends & family.

5.

I think that with better survival skills this could have had a better outcome.  From what I can gather the area was heavily forested.  It should be possible to maintain a good fire indefinitely even if you are just ripping branches off trees and shaking off the snow.  It would take some energy, but you could make it.  Perhaps I’m wrong.
