Explore Carole Hartley Death, What Happened To Victoria Leigh Hollis Donnas Daughter?

An Alabama woman was reportedly killed in the catastrophic wildfires in Maui.

Carole Hartley was found dead on her property in Lahaina, Maui, according to her sister, Donna Hartley. Hers is one of over 90 lives lost in the wildfires, and officials warn the death toll could rise even more.

“My husband called me to the living room and said Donna Jo, you need to come in here and watch the TV. He said, ‘Maui is on fire,’” Donna Hartley said.

Donna Hartley flipped on her television to a chilling sight.

“I hadn’t talked to anybody, I hadn’t seen anything, I hadn’t been on Facebook, I knew nothing,” she said.

A few seconds into the broadcast, Donna Hartley realized the video on her screen came from the exact location of her younger sister in Lahaina.

“And I walked it up on the TV, I said, ‘This is how you get to Carole. She is four blocks up, take a left and she is the fourth house on the left. It’s gone. Her house is gone,’” she said.

Donna Hartley frantically tried to call her sister and her sister’s partner, Charles, but to no avail.

A friend from the island finally reached out to her to inform her of the bad news.

“She told me they found Charles, but he was all burnt,” she said.

Charles called Donna Hartley soon after to update her on her sister.

“He called me, and he couldn’t talk to me at first because he was emotional. He said I can’t find Carole. I can’t find Carole. I can’t find her and I’m not going to stop until I find her,” Hartley said.

Donna Hartley said Charles told her he and her sister were told to seek shelter from “hurricane winds,” but they had no idea what was coming for them. As they prepared for the winds, a neighbor across the street began yelling for help as a fire broke out near her home.

Donna Hartley said Charles tried to navigate his way back to their home, but smoke clouded his vision.

Eventually Charles collapsed, and someone took him to the hospital.

When Charles realized Carole Hartley was missing, he formed a search party. He found what he believes were her remains at the ashes of their property.
