LARAMIE – Two former Laramie residents received an unexpected windfall earlier this month when Wyoming’s Unclaimed Property Division of the State Treasurer’s Office equally split an old certificate of deposit amounting to over $7,000 between two siblings.

The death of a loved one is always a difficult time, and when Freida Alldredge passed away in early 2017, Rogena Orr was tasked with closing out her mother’s estate. Even when everything appears to be in good order, though, items can slip by.
