, I'd get rid of "in". This sentence needs a context (for it to make sense).

I can't think of any context in which this would be a "correct" sentence.

Do you want to try again, Anon?

What about this example:

The one/person in whom you trust is listening to you right now.

I believe that the person who posted this tread tries to say that something terrible has happened to a person and as a result, this person will not speak with anyone else but the one she finds trustworthiest/ most trustworthy.

Yes, that would be fine!
