Def of smoking gun!
The term "smoking gun" was originally, and is still primarily, a reference to an object or fact that serves as conclusive evidence of a crime or similar act.
from wikipedia
So then, police either think they aren't going to find it, or they've already found it and what they are looking for now is evidence to put the case together. In which case, I have to think it's the latter.
