Anyone here sell life insurance or know how to go about finding an old policy?

I am in desperate need of a new car (newer than my 21 yr old Toyota anyway). I was talking to my mom. She offered to help me. She also told to about a 5k paid in full life insurance policy that she and my dad purchased when I was 3. She told me to make some calls and find out how I can cash it in to use as a down payment. When she and my dad split, she let the policys with him (bank deposit box). He says they aren't there. She says the policy is with either Mutual of Omaha or another one that has Omaha in the name. I can't remember the 2nd one, but I did contact both. Got no help from either.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find someone who can help? I want to get this done before my car dies. We are in the process of buying a house, so my money is tied up in that. The extra 5k will be a great start for a new car.
