ALBANY — A homeless man from Utah failed to show up in New York to claim a sizable inheritance from his brother.

The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports that Max Melitzer was supposed to arrive Thursday at the Albany bus station, where cousin Richard Goldfarb was waiting for him.

But Melitzer wasn’t on any of the buses that pulled into the station.

The successful search for Melitzer made international headlines last week when a private investigator hired by his family’s law firm tracked him down on the streets of Salt Lake City and informed him that his brother had left him a big estate.

Morris Melitzer, 66, of Schenectady, died in April 2010.

The 66-year-old General Electric plant worker succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

The Daily Gazette reported that his estate was worth $100,000.
