"Significant Drop: Over Half of Missing Individuals in Maui Fire Now Accounted For"

The number of people unaccounted for after the wildfire in Lahaina, Maui has dropped from over 1,000 to 388, according to Maui County officials. The county has released a "validated list" of names to aid in the investigation, although it may cause distress to families. The fluctuation in numbers is due to efforts to "un-duplicate people" reported missing. The death toll remains at 115, with 46 people identified and families notified. Officials are urging relatives to provide DNA samples to help identify recovered remains.
