BUTLER COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - State Treasurer Clint Zweifel announced Tuesday that there is one unclaimed property account in Butler County

In addition, Zweifel said two St. Louis area women received unclaimed property worth $700,000 and $110,000.

Zweifel said the $700,000 return is the second return over $500,000 to an individual this fiscal year. He said what is thought to be the single largest return to a business or person in the nation's history happened in November when $6.1 million was returned to a Kansas City woman.

He said the recipients' names are not being released for privacy reasons.

“One in 10 Missourians has Unclaimed Property and clearly these two did very well, I am sure they can put it to use,” Treasurer Zweifel said. “I want folks to know there is a strong chance they or someone they know is owed Unclaimed Property, and right now there is $600 million waiting.”
