There is no reason that the new girl couldn’t get her photo back.
Yes, detectives collect evidence.....evidence of the crime of arrest or evidence needed to help solve an open case....not random stuff on the ground, a person you were already pursuing might have picked up and looked at.
I'm thinking Michaela panicked because the guy was one of the kidnappers. She doesn't know the backstory of how Angelina is connected to the man. She just needs to get him into jail and capture the other two.
I'm confused on the calling she had. She was terrorized by a threatening winged menace. I can see he connected with her when he found the picture, met her and put two and two together. But they were young, so who or what is the threat. Hopefully we will get the full answer as I don't think we have yet.
I get all that....Michaela was worked up about these guys being back and all....
I’m just saying that he is being arrested for the kidnapping and I guess the attack on her car earlier....so the only evidence that would need to be collected would be items that had relevance to those acts.....some photo he grabbed off the ground while standing in the parking lot isn’t relevant to anything in a legal sense....I was just pointing out it was silly to not give the girl her photo back.
