An FBI officials Tuesday said that the number of people 'reported unaccounted for' is somewhere between 1,000 and 1,100.
the historic Hawaiian city of Lahaina, Maui officials on Tuesday said that the number of people unaccounted for in the blaze continues to fluctuate due to uncertain and incomplete data. At least 115 people have been killed in the fire, the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century.
This latest estimate comes one day after Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said that the number of missing"We don't want to leave any stone unturned, so we're considering everybody on that list until we can prove that they're not on that list," Merrill said, emphasizing the number will change as new information continues to come in.
The FBI has evidence collection personnel, forensic science experts and cell phone analysts on the ground in Maui assisting in the identification process, Merrill said. Maui Prosecuting Attorney Andy Martin said DNA analysis was being solely conducted by ANDE, not the FBI or any other local government agencies, and that the samples collected were only being used for the purpose of identifying victims.
As the fire situation was unfolding, Bissen said, he was being briefed through the emergency operations center, with most of that information coming from the fire department.
