Aerial search fails to find missing Ashland family
- ASHLAND, Ore. - An aerial search has failed to find an Ashland family of four and two in-laws from Arizona who have been missing since March 4.

Peter Stivers and Marlo Hill-Stivers left for what was expected to be an overnight trip.

Police say tips from across the country have been pouring in on the Stivers foursome and two in-laws, but none have panned out.

The children are ages 9 and 8. The older couple is Peter Stivers' parents, Albert and Becky Higgenbothem.

Police say the families were headed toward Brookings. They traveled in the Higgenbothems 35-foot, brown and white Dolphin motorhome with Arizona plates.

Police have confirmed that no bank accounts linked to the family have been accessed since March 4.

Ashland police say weather permitting, a Jackson County Sheriff's helicopter will take a closer look from a helicopter on Thursday.
