Authorities reduced the number of individuals “unaccounted for” from the Lahaina wildfire to 66 as they seek more information about many people who were included on the list released last week.

The Maui Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation released the third list of “unaccounted for” names today. On Sept. 1, MPD and FBI released a second list with 385 names, which was only three fewer than initial list issued on Aug. 24.

In a news release about today’s list, MPD said the FBI was able to determine 235 of the 385 individuals as safe and removed those names from the second list.

MPD said 80 names were not included because they are still being vetted for credibility, while another four have since been identified as deceased.

The FBI and MPD continue to review and vet reports of “unaccounted for” that cannot yet be deemed credible at this time, the news release said.

To be on the latest list, the FBI had three criteria, MPD said today.“The names on the list were compiled by the FBI and were deemed credible as long as the following criteria were provided: The first and last name of the person who is unaccounted for; a verified contact number for the person who reported the individual as unaccounted for; and/or additional verified information received reporting the individual as unaccounted for,” according to the news release.

For the previous two lists, FBI required a first and last name of the unaccounted for person, and a verified contact number for the person who reported the individual as unaccounted for, but not “additional verified information received reporting the individual as unaccounted for.”

The number of confirmed fatalities from the Aug. 8 fires has remained at 115 since Aug. 21. Of those, 61 have been identified and 54 have yet to be identified as of Thursday.

Earlier today, Gov. Josh Green said that many of the 66 names in today’s “unaccounted for” list may be among the 54 people whose remains have yet to be identified, so he did not expect the death toll to rise considerably.

“We’re starting to see that the universe of 115 fatalities is about where we are,” Green said. “There may be some additional fatalities as we go through the next month.”

The list of names is below and also online on MPD’s website.
