One month after the deadly wildfires that destroyed the historic town of Lahaina and other areas in Maui, the number of missing people has dropped to 66, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said in a news statement on Friday.
The revised number of people missing was a startling drop from the list released last week in which 385 people were still listed as missing. Missing tallies have fluctuated drastically since the deadly August blaze; the initial number was over 3,000, then 385, and now, based on calls and emails the FBI has received, is 66.
In many cases the only information officials have is the person's name, Green said, and the Maui Police Department "encourages families to share information about any missing loved ones."

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
