Rudolph's evidence doesn't make sense
morriswalters:
@Bad Alias
I understand civil forfeiture. I'm a liberal. ;) But you can't seize what you can't find. And since they don't exist from a law enforcement perspective they don't even know to look.
I understand that she could have left prints, but not DNA. But her prints would have been on file and it wouldn't take three months, and they wouldn't have needed the pictures. The same for Harry, since he is a licensed PI in Chicago. This was a capital crime, felony murder.
Bad Alias:
If they have you under surveillance for knocking over a (probably) known mob bank, and chronically poor Harry makes a trip to a diamond merchant, questions will be asked. I'm just saying get an attorney before the heat is on.
With the amount of rounds she loaded, I would be surprised but not shocked if she left some DNA behind.

As morriswalters says, if they really had that kind of evidence what would be the point of further surveillance? No need for further investigation, especially by IA, they would have just arrested them. That didn't happen.

Because a prosecutor would want more evidence before proceeding to trial. And Murphy might not be the big fish they're after. Let's say they have enough to arrest Murphy, but know she won't be easy to flip. What they really want is to get everyone involved all at once. So surveillance. They also might not have Murphy's DNA on file, so they'd have to have enough for a warrant to get her DNA before they'd have enough for an arrest warrant. Or they didn't test the cases for DNA. If the cops figure out that Murphy loaded hundreds of rounds, they might start looking.

Doesn't matter, if they have what Rudolph claimed, they had enough for an arrest warrant, still sounds like a set up for black mail, no more no less.
