There are still 12 individuals who have not been accounted for following the devastating Aug. 8 fire in Lāhainā, police said Friday. This is down from the list of 22 individuals released by police officials last week.
The list of unaccounted for individuals was compiled by both the Maui Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, police said.
The 12 individuals who remain on the unaccounted-for list all have a missing persons report on file with the MPD and are the only remaining credible unaccounted for individuals at this time, police officials said Friday.
The FBI and MPD continue to review and vet any new incoming reports of individuals who might still be unaccounted for after the fire.
