A Kansas City woman has claimed $6.1 million that had been held in Missouri's Unclaimed Property Program.The money came from an investment that one of the woman's relatives made in an obscure company several years ago. The stock was lost, but the value of the investment eventually grew to $6.1 million.The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, claimed a record amount under the state's program."There is so much money that's out there waiting for Americans to claim," said Missouri State Treasurer Clint Zweifel. "Just to give you an example, in Missouri alone, I have more than $600 million on hand waiting for Missourians."He said the money can come from forgotten apartment security deposits, uncashed final paychecks, abandoned bank deposits and other places.
