Lieutenant Gregg Hastings Public Information Officer Office: (503) 731-3020 ext. 247 Photograph links valid for 30 days http://www.flashnews.net/images/news/120106_saab_92x_2.jpg http://www.flashnews.net/images/news/penelopejamessabine.JPG http://www.flashnews.net/images/news/katikim.JPG http://www.flashnews.net/images/news/penelopekim.JPG The search for the JAMES KIM family reportedly missing since November 25, 2006 is continuing. Personnel and resources from Oregon State Police, Josephine County Sheriff's Office, Jackson County Sheriff's Office, and Douglas County Sheriff's Office, including search & rescue resources, are working Sunday from the ground and air checking secondary rural routes in southwest Oregon. Private resources secured by family members, including helicopters, are assisting. The latest confirmed information placed the KIM family in Roseburg at a local restaurant on Saturday evening, November 25th. They were enroute to Gold Beach area to stay at Tu Tu Tun Lodge. The family never arrived and has failed to return home in San Francisco. Family members JAMES KIM, age 35, KATI KIM, age 30, and daughters, PENELOPE, age 4, and SABINE, age 7 months, were known to be traveling in a silver 2005 Saab 92X station wagon displaying personalized California license plates "DOESF". New information provided by family members indicates the car may have visible recent damage extending forward from the driver's door along the left quarter panel and wheel area. This damage was the result of a previous traffic-related incident in which the driver's door was reportedly repaired but the other noted damage may still be visible. Oregon State Police troopers continue to check State Highways that run from Interstate 5 to the Oregon coast. Sheriff's deputies and search and rescue personnel are checking several remote rural routes that may be used to travel to Gold Beach. These routes were impacted since the Thanksgiving holiday weekend due to cold and wet weather. Some of the roads may have become impassable due to snow conditions. A toll-free number in Oregon is available for tips into the Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-452-7888. Approximately 100 tips have been received for follow-up. Photographs of the family members and vehicles are provided again with this release to assist in the search and investigation. Important search updates will continue to be made available through these news releases. ### www.oregon.gov/OSP ###
