(I’ve removed an image I had here which did not have correct car location. The initial reports of car location were wrong.Īnother image showing the location and James’ walk – thanks Greg. Here is a link to a good series of images from another site showing the Rogue River area near Black Bar Lodge where the Kims were finally found but I understand ONLY FIRST IMAGE has correct car location. He stated on TV that he was very familiar with the area and felt for “the kids”. 3) The pilot that found Kati and Kids was a local resident who owned his own chopper and was not associated with the search directly. Coroner suggests it was about two days which would have been Sunday night or Monday morning and probably before the ground search began. 2) It remains unclear exactly when James died. MSNBC initially suggested he was left overnight in the woods because searchers could not reach him. Key story items to clarify 1) James Kim was dead when he was found. However as local info comes in I’m alarmed by how it appears some big news places are misreporting important facts.

Oregonlive has a detailed account of the confusion surrounding the search effort. ![]() We should all hope to have such sincere and hard working friends, family, and rescue workers in the event of our own personal misfortune. He was a close friend of the Kim’s and I think this must be a very difficult time for everybody closely involved with them. I’ve only had limited contact with some searchers and Scott, who worked very hard on a very noble effort to help coordinate information and many volunteers who were involved in the “unofficial” search. ![]() ![]() In my book, that was a heroic walk.I know the condolences, thoughts, and prayers of people all over the world are going out to the family of James Kim.Ī lot of people are asking me a lot of questions here in the comments section and I’ll try to answer them when I know more. Based on the best info I have today from a TV interview with the local pilot who found Kati and the kids it was James’ footprints down the road that he left on Saturday that initially alerted the pilot to the approximate location of the car. I know their safety was his top concern and he’d be so glad to know they made it out of the wilderness safely. My sincere condolences go out to his wife and children. The comments section has a lot more about this story.
