Attorneys for the Cobell trust fund lawsuit are still looking for beneficiaries in Oklahoma who are owed a share of the $3.4 billion settlement. Attorney David Smith said about 700 members of the Osage Nation are considered whereabouts unknown or can't be located. They are owed about $9 million. "The difficulty is that Interior's records are horrible," Smith told Bartlesville Radio, referring to inadequate information kept by the Interior Department. Nationwide, over 30,000 people who are entitled to a share of the settlement can't be found. Get the Story:
