CNET Senior Editor James Kim, 35, wife Kati (30 years-old), and daughters Penelope (4 years-old) and Sabine (7 months-old), were traveling down Interstate-5 Saturday, November 25 from Portland, Oregon, on their way to Gold Beach, Oregon. They intended to drive via Oregon State Highway 42, but after missing the turn, decided to head west from Grants Pass on Bear Camp Road (NF-23), which is also known as Merlin Galice Road [MAP/SATELLITE].

A cell phone tower in Glendale, Oregon picked up a signal from one of the Kims’ mobile phones at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 26, 2006.
