That's what I gathered as well. They mentioned there was doorbell footage but refused to show it to her. I'm guessing they saw she was in town, saw a person that maybe partially could have resembled her maybe if you squinted on the doorbell footage, and said that was all the evidence they needed.

There is the weirdly pushy way the police officer tried to get her to confess that seems to imply that, too. They had a hunch, and hoped the person would be dumb enough to incriminate herself. It's a real shame she only exonerated herself, I am sure they would have loved it if she had tracked down the real thief.
