ALIVE :clap:

After 11 days. Amazing. Holding out though, remember Sago Mine? They're reporting they made contact with him and are talking to him in an attempt to get him into a medical chopper.

just in The dead body of missing CNET editor James Kim has been located, authorities announced Wednesday.



Arrangements are being made to transport Kim to an undisclosed location, according to a police statement. Kim has been missing in the remote southwestern Oregon wilderness for 11 days. The family has asked not to be contacted.

<!-- photo --><NEWSELEMENT>"They have been true champions throughout this whole ordeal," Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson said of the family at a press conference. "We just want them to know our prayers have been with them from day one."

After being rescued in good condition Monday, Kim's 30-year-old wife, Kati, and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) have been reunited with family members. Kati Kim suffered frostbite on two toes, but will not lose those toes, according to a close family friend. James Kim, 35, left the family car Saturday morning to search for help.

James Kim, Kati, Penelope and Sabine left their home in San Francisco two weeks ago on a Thanksgiving road trip to the Pacific Northwest. They had been last seen on the Saturday after the holiday in Portland and later at a Denny's restaurant in Roseburg, according to a San Francisco Police Department missing persons report.

The family was expected to return to San Francisco on November 27. When both James and Kati failed to show up for appointments on November 28, co-workers began to worry for their safety. The Kims are known for keeping in touch daily with their friends and co-workers, either by phone or e-mail.

Throughout the Kims' ordeal, messages of support and concern have continued to pour in by the hundreds to CNET, as well as to a Web site set up by family and friends.
 
That was quite a story, the way they found the family using cell phone records and all. Good effort on the part of all rescuers involved. Too bad the dad didn't follow the first rule when you are lost. Stay put! Especially when you are with a vehicle and on a road.

This is such a sad outcome. I only hope the family can find some peace in knowing how hard he fought to save them. God bless them all.

I doubt leaving the road would deter bears.
Yeah, but not much to put between you and a bear on an open road. Besides, as much as he did right, he really wasn't an outdoorsman... Getting stalked by a bear who knows what you are going to do or think ...

And they found him about a 1/2 mile from the car, but he taveled over 8 miles.
Circle, or was he heading back to the car?
