After the supervisor returned she alledged my wife falsified documents, which in turn my wife was asked to come down and give a statement, that was many weeks ago, does she have the right to know if the case was closed, still open, is she cleared of any wrong doing? she called the investigator over a week ago and no one has returned her call.

Is she part of a union? They should be representing her and be able to answer the questions.
A lot of times administrations, and prosecutor's if it went that far, take quite a while with investigations sitting on their desks.
She could make a written request for the results of the investigation. Depending on what type of documents she was accused of falsifying it may have been forwarded for review of criminal charges, which takes time. Or at the least forwarded to the investigator's supervisor to be reviewed.

Yes, especially if you are involved in the investigation in some way. Your wife should ensure that she gets an attorney to protect herself from the accusations -- forgery or fraud -- and should definitely not give any more statements to anyone without an attorney present. Have her have the attorney inquire about the investigation and take it from there. The person who is making the accusations is in a supervisory position and may have access to documents that could be changed or revised. Therefore, your wife should get copies of all the documents in question, keep the originals and give copies to the attorney. I would bet that because she hasn't heard anything, she is under suspicion of some kind and she needs to be concerned about protecting herself.

If she is the star of a pending investigation, no. If it is an internal investigation then courtesy would say yes but they do not have to since she is no longer employed.
Have her keep calling. One call is rarely enough.

Yes she does have the right to know. But the police brass will try to stone wall her attempts to get information. Your wife just needs to stay persistent. And possibly go all the way to the top if she needs to.

If charges are being brought against her, she will be notified.
If the police are not pursuing it, forcing the issue will only bring their attention back to the case.
