How much money was taken? What jewelry was missing? If you don't know, you will have a very difficult case.
If you don't have an inventroy, you have serious proof issues to overcome here [if you can't proove what was taken, how would you ever convince a judge or jury?]. Unless there is some evidence [insurance policy, bank records, etc.] that could help you, your case against the co-trustee will be difficult if not impossible to prove.
What you are talking about is theft, crimes, go to jail for a long time stuff.
