My uncle had a room in his house that I was going to move into, but after I got my belongings in there he changed his mind but let me keep my things there for safe keeping and free storage. They moved to San Antonio and didn't tell me they discarded my things until after the fact.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's important to discuss your options with your attorney or a legal professional who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances.
I'm of sound mind. I need legal help, not a doctor. I'm guessing an FBI Fusion Center may be aware of what's going on and may cooperate with an attorney. Thus far, I've been ignored by law enforcement.

My fiance is in federal prison serving a 20 year sentence for a nonviolent crime. He has served 7 years this far and I am wondering if there is still a chance of parole or any other options for early release?

The federal parole system was abolished, so most federal inmates must serve at least 85% of their sentence under the “truth in sentencing” law.
