Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey

Missing Property
My father died without a will. Several items in his apartment were missing when I went to collect his belongings. The landlord and his sister were the only people who could enter my father's apartment. They're my father's relatives. The landlord told me his sister had taken a few items from the apartment. She refused to return them. They deny any knowledge as to what happened to the rest of my father's things. The landlord's sister took my father's things with the landlord's knowledge. Since his sister could have taken more things than she admitted to taking, can I sue the landlord for the value of ALL the missing items because he allowed someone to remove property? Should I sue them for the missing items at the same time or separately?
