Big Prayer Need: Maui Confronts The Challenge Of Finding More Than 800 Missing People
The number varies widely, with the governor saying more than 1,000 remained unaccounted for, the mayor of Maui claiming 850, and during President Biden's tour on Monday, White House homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall put it between 500 and 800.
Maui authorities say anywhere between 500 and 1,000 people remain unaccounted for two weeks after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century destroyed the community of Lahaina.
As of Monday, there were 115 people confirmed dead, according to Maui police.
Hawaii officials have expressed concern that by releasing a list of the missing, they would also be identifying some people who have died.
