Treasurer: Wyo. holding $42M in unclaimed funds

The Wyoming state treasurer's office is trying to find the rightful owners of some $42 million in unclaimed funds. The Unclaimed Property Division in the treasurer's office regularly takes out newspaper ads listing people with unclaimed funds. The latest list has 8,000 names of people and businesses with accounts larger than $50. Unclaimed funds being held by the state can include cash, stock, insurance claims, money orders and travelers' checks. Wyoming is keeping watch over a relatively small sum compared to other states that report more than $1 billion in their unclaimed fund accounts.
