The number of people on the official list of those missing from the Maui wildfire has remained nearly unchanged from last week at 385.
In a news release, the Maui Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said 245 people on the list of 388 made public the previous week were located and removed, while nearly equal amounts of new names were added.
The updated total came just a day after Democratic Gov. Josh Green said he believed the number would fall below 100.
“We think the number has dropped down into the double digits, so thank God,” Green said in a video posted to his account on X.

After Maui police released the updated list, the governor said the numbers of fatalities and missing are often in flux in mass casualty events until investigations are completed. "Exact numbers are going to take time, perhaps a long time, to become finalized," Green said in a statement provided through a spokesperson.
