Asheville Police: 1 person left missing from Hurricane Helene

Only one person is believed to still be missing from the wreckage of Hurricane Helene in Asheville, N.C., Asheville Police Chief Mike Lamb told The Hill.

Officials believe the person is deceased and have not publicly disclosed their identity out of respect for the family. 

Law enforcement spent months surveying areas flooded with rainwater, looking for people who were injured or deceased.

At one point, search records had more than 500 individuals missing, but disaster relief efforts have helped locate hundreds.
