This is a sad one folks, but the more coverage it gets the better really. CNET Senior Editor James Kim and his family, including wife and two young children, have gone missing in the USA whilst on a road trip.

The Kim family were last seen driving a silver 2005 Saab station wagon (or estate car) bearing the license plate ‘DOESF’. Officials investigating the disappearance of the Kims are currently searching a stretch of Oregon highway, which is thought to be an area en route to the family’s final destination. Inclement weather in the area is thought to have perhaps caused an accident.

Needless to say, the gadget-loving community has its collective fingers crossed for James, his wife Kati, and their two young daughters Penelope and Sabine. Here’s hoping they all make a safe return soon.
