Nearly 400 people are still listed as unaccounted for after this month's devastating wildfires on Maui — a dramatic drop from the more than 1,000 previously believed missing but still a stark indicator of the disaster's tragic impact.
U.S. wildfire disaster in more than 100 years tore through the Hawaiian island. At least 115 people are confirmed dead.
The FBI has worked with agencies "to unduplicate people that have been reported missing," Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said earlier Thursday in a. Some 800 to 1,200 people have been listed as unaccounted for since the fires, he said. The team in the past has used information obtained through court orders to help with terrorism, kidnapping and criminal investigations.
"Those actions may have violated national guidelines on how utilities should handle and preserve evidence after a wildfire and deprives investigators the opportunity to view any poles or downed lines in an undisturbed condition before or after the fire started," the Post report said.
The company also noted it was taking steps to preserve property but local, state and federal agencies were on the ground and it was possible "that the actions of these third parties, whose actions Hawaiian Electric does not control, may result in the loss of property or other items that relate to the cause of the fire," the Post report said.
