Over 3,200 individuals who were reported unaccounted for, the FBI has determined at least 2,696 of those to be safe. The FBI and MPD said Sunday they continue to review and vet reports of unaccounted for that cannot yet be deemed credible at this time.

On Sept. 1, the MPD and FBI released a “second list” with 385 names. The FBI said they determined 235 of the 385 individuals as safe and removed those 235 from the “second list.” Currently, 53 individuals from the “second list” are still unaccounted for and remain on today’s list.

The authority said in addition, 80 names of possible unaccounted for are not included on the list because each of those reports are still being vetted for credibility. In these cases, no initial reporting party was provided or was available for follow-up. Also, four individuals from the “second list” have since been identified as deceased, 13 additional names were added, as provided by the following: MPD missing persons reports,reports from the American Red Cross, reports from the shelters, as well as individuals who called in to report unaccounted for but did not file a police report.

On Aug. 22, the agency said the unaccounted for list had the names of between 1,000 and 1,100 individuals. On Aug. 24, county officials released a list of 388 people  who have been reported as unaccounted for from the Aug. 8 Lahaina wildfire disaster. The list was narrowed by utilizing criteria that included first and last name and a human source that provided it. 

Maui Police Chief John Pelletier previously said more than 200 people responded to the department’s last list, and 120 plus DNA samples have been collected from family members to date.
