I am sorry that you were scammed, but unfortunately, I can't give you good news here.
While we do sometimes find scammers' real names through various means, that is for our own information only. It is not something that can be used in court.
The only IP addresses in that header are yahoo's. That means that the email could have been sent by any yahoo customer, anywhere in the world. In other words, it is meaningless. Millions of people will have sent emails with the exact same IP addresses, and there is no way to identify which person it is.
The only way that money can be recovered is through the legal system. And that is only going to happen if you provide evidence that will stand up in court, which means that you need to get an attorney, and use the legal system (which generally involves subpoenas to mail providers and ISP's and/or banks if bank transfer was used) to trace him. If the scammer is in another country, it is nearly impossible to recover the money, as the costs to recover it would be far beyond the amount of money lost.
