I think she did somthing with it after my aunt died.

Re: Destroyed will
If the will or an authentic copy cannot be found, it is presumed that your aunt destroyed or revoked it. Her estate would go to her heirs, lineal decendants first. That leaves you out if she was survived by parents, children or grandchildren. You would be in the next tier if no lineals exist.
