All personal Property would be vouchered at the local Police property room. If the property is not claimed Money would go to the State and property would be auctioned or destroyed.

My dad and step mom died from a car accident. His toolbox never did get recovered from the car, it was taken by they think the wrecker driver but no proof. His wallet turned up missing until the police put out the word they were checking everyone who had contact with the accident and the victims, the wallet and the money showed up in a couple of days at my sisters house with no note or explanation.
They normally will turn it into the funeral home who will turn it over to the state and the courts will decide what the money is used for or where it goes, in the event there is no will or any legal documents to rule on.

If the wallet contains cash and is found by Law Enforcement it will be impounded. Huge liability if they don't as most people have a wallet on them in a car to hold their license.

I don't go through someones wallet unless I need to id them. Once I find their ID, the wallet usually goes back in the victims pocket.

They don't keep it if thats what you want to know. The wallet goes where the body goes. Untill a rightful owner comes up.

it doesn't have to be a car accident; it can be any sudden health or life problem. in my extended family, not a single victim arrived at hospital or morgue with one red cent left to them.

In reality, there is a very good chance it will be pocketed by someone on the scene.

when no one is looking put the money in their pockets to hell with any living relatives if thet do have some.same way with drug deals they take the drugs and money and often times tell the dealer to get lost he will be happy to oblige, they can always sell the drugs to some one they know who won't rat them off.
