That's REALLY the kind of thing that one needs to get IN WRITING. Was there a restitution agreement in place, and did that agreement specify that the agreed upon amount would completely settle the matter between parties? If not, then you could still be open to further requests. Whether you choose to honor those requests or to ignore them, is up to you.

but then over a year later he calls back saying there is money unaccounted for and "thinks" you took it but has no proof other than the proof that theft was being committed previously (video footage).

Then you can always tell him to try to prove his case in civil court, or to file a criminal complaint and see if police and the DA can make a criminal case out of it, or both.

Can he legally come back to you and request more restitution when restitution was already given and a verbal agreement was made to not proceed with the matter?

Sure, he can ask. You can say "I consider the matter closed". The ball is then in his court to further pursue the matter in the civil and/or criminal courts.
