Maui County officials say they have validated 388 individuals who have been reported missing from the Aug. 8 Lahaina wildfire disaster.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation validated the names by assessing the first and last name of the person who is unaccounted for, and by a verified contact number for the person who reported the missing person.

“We’re releasing this list of names today because we know that it will help with the investigation,” said Police Chief John Pelletier. “We also know that once those names come out, it can and will cause pain for folks whose loved ones are listed. 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, an additional 1,732 individuals who had originally been reported as unaccounted for have since been found safe and well, according to county officials.

If you are an immediate family member (parent, sibling or child) of an individual you believe is still unaccounted for, visit the Family Assistance Center in the Monarchy Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency in Ka’anapali to provide a DNA sample to assist with the identification process.

I won't post the names of the missing ... but should we, since the authorities have a habit of forgetting facts which are inconvenient?

This might give people pause...

Why would there be anything wrong with posting the names of the missing? It’s not like they committed a crime, unless being burned alive by government callousness and indifference is a crime now.
