Butte County Family Found Safe

Butte County Search and Rescue teams this afternoon found a family of four that had been missing since Sunday afternoon.

Frederick Dominguez, 38, his two sons Christopher, 18, and Joshua, 12, and daughter Alexis, 14, were found safe early this afternoon. They are being treated for hypothermia.

They had gone on a trip to find a Christmas tree Sunday. Searchers found their yellow pickup Monday night on Skyway Road near Paradise. There was no one inside and there didn't appear to be any signs of a crash or problems with the vehicle.

Wednesday morning, nearly 100 search and rescue personnel from as far away as San Francisco joined the ground search. Weather in the area has so far prohibited searchers from launching air support, but conditions cleared late this morning for an air search. There were no immediate details about where the family was found.
