Cell phone sleuths help find snowbound family
Technology, some lucky text messages and an outdoorsman's intuition helped locate three members of a family stranded in the Oregon backcountry for nine days.
Searchers rescued Kati Kim, 30, of San Francisco and her daughters Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months, along a remote forest road Monday afternoon. The key to finding them, police said, was a "ping" from one of the family's cell phones that helped narrow down their location.
