Help find James Kim

Our friend and co-worker, James Kim, is missing along with his family. The 35-year-old Kim, his 30-year-old wife Kati and daughters Penelope (4 years) and Sabine (7 months) left their home in San Francisco last week on a road trip to the Pacific Northwest. They were last seen on Saturday, November 25, in Portland, Ore., according to the San Francisco Police Department, which has opened a missing persons' investigation. They were driving a 2005 silver Saab station wagon with the personalized California license plate "DOESF."

Those with information about the Kim family's whereabouts are asked to contact San Francisco police immediately at 415-558-5508 during normal business hours and at 415-553-1071 after-hours. The Portland Police Bureau's Missing Persons Unit can be reached at 503-823-0446.

Update: As of 9 a.m. PST Friday, investigators said they were narrowing their search to Oregon's Highway 38 as the family's most probable route to their destination of Gold Beach. The Kims last spoke to an innkeeper there by phone about five hours before they planned to arrive.

As you may know, James has passed away. Thank you to everyone for their support.

RIP bro...

damn, I was just rememebring him right now. I'd always read his reviews before buying pretty much any MP3 player, then one day I was just listening to the TV while doing homework and I heard his name.

I heard that he died and thought "WTF!?!?!? that can't be!"

I know i didn't know him personally or anything, but I was way sad when I found out he died.

I watched a 2 or 3 hour show on tv about this tragedy. It was heartbreaking going all the way through and then found out that he didn't make it. It was just devistating, and then to see how far he went to save his family. He was an amazing person with a beautiful soul. It's just so sad
