Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

I live in NJ but worked during the holiday season for a company based in CA. My last paycheck was to be mailed to my home address. I never received that paycheck. I contacted someone from the Payroll Department of the company and they were able to tell me that the check was cashed but was only able provide a little information. However, it was enough for me to suspect that a family member fraudulently cashed the check. I asked the payroll person to provide written documentation and have not received anything. That was 3 weeks ago and since then I have been leaving voicemail messages for this person. She has not returned my calls, emailed me, or contacted me in anyway. I am faced with the possibility of accusing an immediate family member of mail fraud and felony theft. Before I do that, I want to have sufficient proof, which I need the company to provide.

Here is my question - if the company does not respond to my request and does not cooperate, does that constitute hinderance or obstruction?

Thank you for your prompt response.

this will take a sharp poke at your employer to get them moving. give me a call, and I will tell you what I think, after we have talked a bit. no charge for the phone call.
