missing family found alive

 

Don't know how many of you had heard about that family who had been missing for like two weeks but they have been found alive and well.

 

MEDFORD, Ore. -- Six family members missing for more than two weeks in a remote, snowy section of Oregon were found alive Tuesday in a remote, snowy section of Southern Oregon.

 

Sheriff's deputies in Roseburg, Ore., said Pete Stivers and his wife walked to safety from their snowbound RV. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management workers first found two of the family members -- who decided to walk out of the woods. An emergency medical technician was then taken in a helicopter to the vehicle, to help the couple's two children and Pete Stivers' mother and stepfather.

 

Douglas County Sheriff's Sgt. David Marshall said the four were taken back down the mountain in vehicles called Snow Cats.

 

The Stivers set off from their Ashland home March 4. Police said the families were headed toward Brookings, Ore., for a day coastal trip. They were reported missing March 8.

 

Marshall said the family told deputies they had plenty of food and propane in their 35-foot RV and even saw TV reports about the search for them. After they learned from a small TV in the RV that the search had been called off, the younger couple hiked out, which took about 24 hours. They had decided to go looking for help since the family was running short of food and fuel.

 

Stivers said his kids enjoyed being stranded for two weeks in southwest Oregon's mountains. He said they didn't know the family was in trouble.

 

Stivers and his wife, Marlo Hill-Stivers, were on a trip with their two children and Pete Stivers' mother and stepfather, Becky and Elbert Higginbotham, of Arizona.
