Police report new clues in family search

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

PORTLAND – Police say they have new clues in their search for a San Francisco family who went missing a week ago during a vacation in Oregon.

James and Kati Kim and their two young children stopped to see friends in Portland a week ago on their way home. They got back on the road to head to Gold Beach in southern Oregon where they planned to stay overnight. But the family never arrived.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday a search of the family’s credit card history showed they had stopped for dinner Nov. 25 in Roseburg, about 160 miles south of Portland and 65 miles northeast of Gold Beach.

“We don’t have any indication of foul play,” Sgt. Roger Loomis of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office told KATU-TV. “They were in Roseburg, they had dinner and they left and that’s about the only information we have right now.”

Searchers have been combing highways and surrounding areas for signs of the family. The couple has two children, Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months.
