Can a cashier's check be traced if it was never cashed?
No. All it knows is who bought the check and to whom it was payable when issued. If the check hasn't been paid, the bank would not know where it is.
That's because the information needed to trace the hands through which a check travels is recorded on the back of the check. Without the paid check, the bank has no way to access that record.
