Hawaii officials released the names of 338 people still missing more than two weeks after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century swept through the resort town of Lahaina.
The list, compiled by the FBI, includes only people whose full names are known and who were reported missing by someone for whom authorities have verified contact information.
In releasing the names late on Thursday, authorities urged anyone who knows that someone on the list is safe, or has additional information that might help locate them, to contact the FBI. "We also know that once those names come out, it can and will cause pain for folks whose loved ones are listed," said Maui County Police Chief John Pelletier. "This is not an easy thing to do, but we want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to make this investigation as complete and thorough as possible."
As of Thursday afternoon, an additional 1,732 people initially reported missing had been found, officials said.
