Twelve people remain missing from the March 22 disaster in the northwestern Washington town of Oso. The landslide left a square mile of debris, burying some victims in up to 70 feet of mud.
The revised death toll figures come a day after U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson and FEMA administrator Craig Fugate toured the disaster area with Washington governor Jay Inslee.
