Family Missing For Over Two Weeks Is Found

MEDFORD, Ore. - A family who has been missing for over two weeks has been found alive in the hills north of Medford.
The Stivers family was last heard from on March 4 as they were leaving for an overnight trip on the Oregon coast.
The missing included Marlo Hill-Stivers and Peter Stivers (husband and wife), 10-year-old Sabastyan Stivers and 9-year-old Gabrayell Stivers (their children) and Becky Higgenbothum and her husband Elbert Higgenbothum (in-laws).
According to preliminary reports, the family took a wrong turn and got stuck in the snow, which would explain why none of the family's bank accounts had been used since they disappeared.
Two of the family members walked out and were found by a Bureau of Land Management employee, according to Josephine County Undersheriff Brian Anderson.
The area where the family got stuck is in southwestern Douglas County near the Curry County line.
The area is inaccessible by vehicle due to a heavy snow pack, but a search and rescue operation is under way to get to the family.

I was born and raised in the North (live in the South now)and we never went camping in the winter.
I believe they were actually headed to the beach. A few family members had never seen the ocean. And then they took a wrong turn and were caught in a snowstorm.
I like you am relieved they are ok.

I'm so glad they're okay. I was so dreading that something bad happened to those two little kids. Thank God everything turned out good
