A man told police he and his mother put $100,000 in a safe, and when he later opened it, only $600 was inside.
Billy Taylor said the money was placed in the safe about five years ago. He said the safe was first kept at his mother's home, then was moved to a storage firm.
The mother died last December.
Mr. Taylor said he recently went into the safe to get the large amount of cash, then found that most of it was gone.
He said relatives were living with his mother at one time while the safe was at her house.
He said he and his mother were the only ones who knew the safe's combination.
Police said there was no way to prove who got the money.
