The latest revision came after Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said the FBI was working to 'un-duplicate' people who were reported missing.
But soon afterward, FBI Special Agent in Charge Steven Merrill said the unaccounted-for list had"between 1,000 and 1,100" names on it.
Merrill said the effort was complicated by two main factors: the lack of detail in some reports; and a wide variety of lists of unaccounted-for people, ranging from government agencies to logs kept by shelters.While the number of unaccounted-for people has shifted, another number has held steady for much of this week: 115, the death toll in the tragedy that makes these fires the deadliest in past 100 years in the United States.
