I found that out when I called the local FBI field office (a week after the claim was filed) and they were able to confirm that the claim was received. Good to know, still no follow-up from them. Sadly they must be overwhelemed...

Does anyone know of other resources or organizations that can help with this matter?
Not just overwhelmed, but apathetic and largely useless. All the federal agencies are like this. Try telling the Secret Service you found a counterfeit $100 bill. Snooze fest. Try telling the Post Office someone stole your mail. You know what happens when you report things to federal agencies? They ask the local cops to take the report and send them a copy - which never sees the light of day. A waste of everyone's time.
