He knew he couldn't trust her. But he could tell that she knew more.

Furthermore... he knew that she knew that he knew. He couldn't push her. If he pushed her too far, she would completely close herself off and then he couldn't get the answers he needed.

Patience was key. Wait until it felt right to pry.

Then she would help him. Because it would make sense once it was the right thing to do.

One hunch he had about this lady was that she was a person of character. She wasn't a puppet who would give all the information to law enforcement. He had to prove that he was the right person to solve this case. Not only that he would have to prove that this case was better solved than unsolved.

As of now he could tell the lady didn't believe that. She would rather keep it hidden. For whatever reason. This was his next thread to pull on. find out why she would rather keep this case under covers. Once he could learn that he would be back, maybe, for more info. Until then he'll just allow her to have her lies. and he was pretty sure that she knew that he was allowing her to get away with the lie.
