The Stivers family had been missing since March 4 when they went on a trip to the coast in their motorhome. They had not been seen or heard from since. Today the family of six was found alive in a remote and snowy section of Southern Oregon.
Six family members missing in a recreational vehicle since March 4 were found alive Tuesday in a remote, snowy section of Southern Oregon, authorities said.
Bureau of Land Management workers first found two of the family members, who had decided to walk out of the woods and left the vehicle, sheriff’s deputies said.
Later, search and rescue workers in a helicopter made contact with the other four, said Sgt. David Marshall, spokesman for the Douglas County sheriff’s department.
According to the reports, the Stivers’ RV apparently became stranded near the line between Douglas and Curry counties. All have been found safe and sound.

Update: (CNN): Family in snowbound RV rescued after 17 days
GLENDALE, Oregon (AP) — Inside their snowbound RV, the family’s supplies and fuel were running low, and news reports indicated that a search for the six missing relatives had been called off.
“We had fuel and food, but we were running short. We were rationing,” said Elbert Higginbotham, one of the missing.
The family decided to send two members out for help, hoping to end more than two weeks trapped in the snowy wilderness. It worked. On Tuesday, 17 days after they first vanished during a trip to the Oregon coast, they were rescued.

Well Debra LaFave can thank the lord that she is a pretty and a woman. Today, the states attorney of Marion County dropped the charges against her for having sex with a 14 
year old boy. There is no way this ever would have occurred if she had committed this same crime as a man.
Debra LaFave had just found out the Marion County state attorney dropped three charges against her. So she doesn’t have to stand trial and risk a prison sentence on allegations she had sex with a 14-year-old student in Ocala in June 2004.
Earlier, Marion County Judge Hale Stancil rejected a plea agreement for LaFave, prompting the state attorney to dismiss the charges against her.
Needless to say Debra LaFave is doing cartwheels over this decision. 
Debra LaFave, Sex Offender: “Mental illnesses are real and how they can cause good people to do bad things.”
Talk about a double standard. What do you this a states attorney would have done if it was a man having sex with a 14 year old girl? Equal justice under the law, huh? Ever wonder why we are beginning to hear nothing but these types of stories? Maybe its because the women know that they won’t be taken seriously.
This is priceless …
Debra LaFave: “I offer my deepest apology. I’ve been undergoing extensive therapy and believe it has helped me tremendously. I would hope that all media outlets will let us peacefully move on.” And despite the intense media interest in her case, LaFave says she is taking courses on –line to become a journalist.

Teacher Debra Lafave Won’t Face Student Sex Charges
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had urged the judge to accept the 
deal for the sake of the boy involved. A psychiatrist who examined the teenager told the judge at a previous hearing that the boy suffered extreme anxiety from the media coverage of the case and does not want to testify.
Marion County Circuit Judge Hale Stancil, however, said the lack of prison time for Lafave under the plea deal “shocks the conscience of this court,” and he rejected it.
Assistant State Attorney Richard Ridgway, in explaining the decision to drop the charges, said: “The court may be willing to risk the well-being of the victims in this case in order to force it to trial. I am not.” (Local 6)

Jennifer Kesse has been missing for nearly eight weeks. Orlando detectives are now investigating if there is a connection between a carjacking that took place in Rosemont last week and the disappearance of the missing Jennifer Kesse.
The victim was attacked in her driveway and pushed into her car. The single mother jumped out of the moving car after she heard one of the gunmen say he was going to kill her.
