Each state and federal body has process for it. It's not uncommon to encounter unclaimed property (including cash), especially with poorly/inaccurately described bank accounts. eg https://www.fdic.gov/bank-failures/unclaimed-property-information-state https://www.fdic.gov/bank-failures/unclaimed-property-inform...

Law enforcement is untrustworthy in many locales, so this is unsurprising.
