I felt it was very important, as I’m an avid CNET reader — that it was proper to look out for members of the technology journalism community. Engadget wrote out a statement that seems to serve the purpose perfectly.
From Engadget; “We’ve received word that a respected member of our tech community, James Kim (whom many of you may know as CNET’s senior editor of digital audio), and his family have gone missing. As we understand it, last weekend James, his wife Kati (above right), and his very young girls Penelope (left) and Sabine (baby), drove from their home in the SF Bay Area to Seattle. They were expected back some time Sunday, but were last seen by a hotel clerk at 5:45 PM on Saturday in or between Gold Beach or Portland, Oregon. We sincerely do hope they are all safe, and our hearts go out to the Kim family.
We’ll have more information as we get it. If you have any information as to the Kim family’s whereabouts, please contact the SFPD at 415-558-5508 during normal business hours, and 415-553-1071 after hours.
Update: Crave reports that James and his family are driving a 2005 silver Saab station wagon with license plate “DOESF.” The official missing person report can be found here.”
James Kim’s family was found but he had left to look for help; Yahoo News has the story posted here.
Advanced Media Network and TEK pray for the safe return home for James Kim and many well wishes go out to his family.
This sort of stuff is always shocking. I’ve read his stuff and I’ve always liked his style. It’s always so strange to think of somebody just disappearing without a trace and with no real answers. Reading this post made my stomach knot, especially when I looked at the picture of his family.
That’s pretty crappy. I hope his dad’s alright.
