If this really was her e-mail account that was hacked, you can easily reverse trace this back to the IP address of the hacker. Even if they used a proxy or multiple proxies, the IP’s can be traced back through each step to the source ISP. I do it all the time to track Al-Qaeda sites. On the net it may not be known who you are, but it is easy to find out where you are. A competent tech could know who this is in a day or two.

It's a lot harder than you think.

Do a web search on "Tor anonymous proxy"

Some proxy servers don’t forward the originating IP in the user agent info, or keep log files. How do you trace those?
