State returns $1.4M in unclaimed property

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Missouri treasurer's office has returned $1.4 million in unclaimed property to a St. Louis area employer.

State Treasurer Clint Zweifel (ZWY-ful) said the returned money is the second largest amount his office has returned from unclaimed property. He did not identify the employer.

The $1.4 million account was made up of more than 260 individual securities accounts. The largest single amount, $1.6 million, was returned in January 2010 to a person in the St. Louis area.

Zweifel said there are 41 accounts of unclaimed property worth more than $100,000 that still have to be returned in Missouri.
