Here is one reputable source that still says that 144 were missing.  There was never a huge organized search right away and it took weeks before anyone would organize a valid search.  I believe a lot of these people were washed out to sea.  I think you must account for the other 300 miles to the east that the storm surge affected.  Ike was large as far a its surge is concerned..
