If a victim is no longer cooperating with the investigation it's probably not going anywhere. As time passes the NDA becomes the trash it is, because there is no justice in a box of cash, so the victim ignores the NDA they were forced to sign and cooperates.

I think this part here says it pretty clearly:

She's pretty obviously saying the original investigation wasn't done properly, without actually saying it. All she needed to do was look at the files to find things that hadn't been done in the original investigation, things that were enough to get the case reopened.
(It's also pretty weird how they keep saying "this is one investigation", as if that makes it true.)
