Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

3 months ago my home was raided by the sheriffs department. My ex-fiances was living there with me and his daughter accused him of molesting her sometime in the past. As a result my desktop and laptop computer were taken. His daughter never lived at my house nor spent any significant amount of time there. I was told that I would have my computers back within a week. It has now been 3 months and the detective working on the case will not answer or return my phone calls. I broke up with my fiance shortly after my house was raided and have no contact with him anymore. Do I have any legal recourse as far as getting my property back?
