Alright, folks, hold onto your coconuts because we’ve got a situation that’s hotter than a lava flow at a Hawaiian luau! 🌋 Nearly two weeks after those wildfires turned Maui into a crispy critter, the authorities are practically begging the relatives of the missing to hand over their DNA samples like they’re giving out free pineapple samples at the farmer’s market.
I mean, seriously, can you believe this? They’re collecting DNA from families like they’re trying to solve some epic island mystery, like “Who ate all the pineapple upside-down cake?” But get this, they’ve only managed to collect samples from 104 families, while there’s a whole list of up to 1,100 names that the FBI’s still scratching their heads over! 😱
This dude Andrew Martin, who’s supposed to be in charge of the family DNA party, says the number of families donating their genetic goods is lower than a limbo stick at a short people’s convention. Apparently, when disaster strikes, the mainlanders are all like, “Sure, take my DNA, just get me outta here!” But here in Maui, it’s more like, “Nah, I’d rather save my DNA for a future mai tai recipe.” 🍹
So, this Martin dude and his partner in crime-solving, Julie French (yes, that’s her real name, not some French pastry you’ve never heard of), want to make it clear that they’re only using these DNA samples to play matchmaker with the victims of the fire. No, they’re not creating a new island-themed dating app—although that might be kinda fun. Swipe right if you survived the volcano eruption! Anyway, they’re not gonna sneak these samples into some FBI database like some Hawaiian-themed episode of CSI. And hey, they promise they won’t even ask about your immigration status because, let’s face it, being crispy doesn’t discriminate based on paperwork. 🔥🌴
In other news, this island paradise turned into a roasted marshmallow with 115 confirmed deaths and a bunch of people who’ve gone missing faster than a plate of coconut shrimp at a luau buffet. The cops have been running around like headless chickens, or in this case, headless roosters (they’re Hawaiian, okay?), trying to find these missing folks with only partial names and duplicate aliases. It’s like a scavenger hunt, but with way less enthusiasm and more confusion.
You’ve got Maui’s finest saying, “Hey, if you’ve got a family member missing, toss your DNA into the ring, and while you’re at it, fill out a police report so we can solve this puzzle before the next volcano decides to join the party.” And if you’re thinking, “Oh, my uncle John’s missing,” but your phone starts ringing and it’s not a ghost, it’s just your uncle John checking in because he got lost in the pineapple fields—well, that’s just classic Uncle John.
But don’t worry, they’re taking this whole DNA thing pretty seriously. We’re talking more swabs than a dental convention here. Just imagine the island vibes when the police chief himself says, “Give the DNA, do the report. Let’s figure this out. A name with no callback doesn’t help anybody.” Preach, Chief! 🕺
And then there’s Roseanna Samartano, who was on the missing list but turned out to be chillin’ without power, cellphone service, or internet. I mean, welcome to vacation mode, right? But hey, it’s not all palm trees and ukuleles. Apparently, these fires got so hot, they might’ve turned some poor souls into Hawaiian BBQ, which is definitely not on the menu. So, even though they’re using DNA to ID the victims, some of them might just be too crispy to tell.
But hold onto your grass skirts, because these fires are breaking records like they’re surfing a tidal wave of flames. The deadliest in modern U.S. history? Move over, California, Hawaii’s in town, and we’ve got the hottest party in the Pacific. And don’t worry, this article’s got more twists and turns than a hula dancer’s hips, and that’s saying something! 💃
