INDIANAPOLIS — Relatives of an 81-year-old woman are offering a reward for the return of $85,000 in cash she lost after withdrawing it from a bank to pay her husband’s nursing home bill.
Barbara Bennett, Indianapolis, withdrew her life savings from the bank on March 16 without telling family members, daughter Nancy Potter told The Star's news-gathering partner, WTHR (Channel 13).
Potter says her mother apparently put the cash in a manila envelope, set it on top of her car while she unlocked the door, then drove away without the envelope in hand.

Potter says her mother needed the money to pay her husband Warren’s nursing home bill after his Medicare benefits had run out and the cost of care was exceeding her budget.
Police say they can’t investigate because finding lost money isn’t a crime.
