I'm pretty sure I'm going to let it go but I'm going to ask an attorney tomorrow. Since I now know and the bank has paid me, I may be legally obligated to turn her into the bank even if they choose not to prosecute her. I would hate to break some sort of law and end up getting bitten in the ass on this by withholding her info from the bank.

That's exactly what I was getting ready to write...
That if she'd come to you asking for help for a legitimate reason, you'd of likely helped her with no problem. Now, instead, you're all twisted up over it and rightfully so. The fact that she stole from you rather than ask for your help makes me wonder if there's something going on she's not willing to fess up to.
I had a maid a few years back that stole a piece of jewelry from me. I'd known the girl for many years. It tore me up that she could do that. When I confronted her about it she of course denied it at first, then told me that she'd taken it to give to her mother as a gift. I told her if she'd asked me if she could have the earrings I would have likely given them to her, but instead she'd ruined a good relationship.
I'd say call the bank and feel them out. Tell them you have a lead or something and see if they'll tell you what they'd do if you found the person.
Beyond that... follow your heart.
