ASSOCIATED PRESS / AUG. 17
A general view shows the aftermath of the Aug. 8 wildfire. Twenty-two people are still considered missing since the fires, according to Maui police.
Maui police today released its updated “credible list of unaccounted for/missing individuals” with 22 names, down from 31 last week.
Today’s list was the fifth released since Aug. 24 when the FBI and Maui Police Department joined forces to identify people who were reported missing after the Aug. 8 wildfire that killed at least 97 people and destroyed most of Lahaina.
Of the 97 confirmed fatalities, MPD said today that 76 have been publicly identified after their families were notified, while another six have been identified but their families have not been located or notified.
The first FBI-MPD unaccounted for list on Aug. 24 had 388 names. Since then, Maui police Chief John Pelletier has said only those people who have a formal missing persons report filed with MPD will be included on the list.
Maui police says anyone with information that can help in finding unaccounted people should contact the FBI at 808-566-4300 or at www.fbi.gov/MauiFires.
Today’s FBI-MPD list of 22 unaccounted for people is below with a reference ID number.
