Hmmmm....sounds mighty fishy. 

Point one: Why would anyone keep heirloom jewelry on a coffee table 
when you know someone is coming over to the house?

Point two: Was the mother in the room with you while you evaluated the 
child? If not, why?

Point three: Why did she wait an entire week to call anyone? I would 
have torn up the house looking for it that night. Then I would have 
called someone up within 24-48 hours.

Anyway, this is a trying time for you. Keep your wits about you. If 
you find yourself getting stressed out, by all means, get some 
counseling or have someone with whom you can talk.
