Why Are Hundreds of People Still Missing on Maui?
The Intelligencer ^ | 8/30/23 | Matt Stieb

Posted on 08/30/2023 3:32:39 PM PDT by DallasBiff

The Maui fire’s human toll is already horrific: 115 people have been confirmed dead after a rapidly moving blaze swept across the west side of the Hawaiian island earlier this month, making it the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century. “No one has ever seen this that is alive today,” Maui police chief John Pelleiter said at a news conference Wednesday. “Not this size, not this number, not this volume — and we’re not done.”

Officials expect that the number of dead will rise as rescue teams, including cadaver dogs, continue to search the destroyed town of Lahaina and other areas ravaged by the fire. But thankfully, the number of missing is starting to come down: On August 24, authorities released a list of 388 people and have accounted for many of those names on the tally. Below is everything we know about those still missing on Maui

The search for the dead enters the sea

With the search of the scorched town of Lahaina 99 percent complete, FBI teams are now looking 200 yards into the harbor, where many residents fled to escape the flames and smoke when the fire tore through town. Governor Josh Green said that the teams are not expected to find substantial numbers of new victims in the water. “We will find possibly the remains of some individuals on the boats that were out there,” he said on August 29. “There are a couple other sensitive spots that were underwater that had to be investigated. But we’re not anticipating a significant increase.”

How many are in shark bellies?

Sad, sad, sad, well at least Brandon's 67 vette made it through his kitchen fire.

Because the fire was so hot it turned bodies (human and vehicular) to ash.

We’re supposed to be focusing on important things like Giuliani said some mean things about some election workers and so they are out to bankrupt him.

I didn’t read of the black fence around Lahaina nor the “special” police that keep people out.

Reporters long ago used to salivate at the possibility of uncovering corrupt public officials.

There’s an actual “Black Wall” there to hide the truth.

OR they are more concerned with foreign entities starting to build on the sites.

Especially since many of the families that owned that land are forever gone and no one is alive to contest the land being given away.

Because they haven’t been found.

And never will be.
