After the final meeting and Light's death, everyone in the room knew the
truth. They knew that the 13 day rule was fake, and the rule about destroying
the Death Note was fake, too.

They also had many evidences against Misa (the tapes, fingerprints, hair,
etc.), and Light also screamed "Misa write their names".

At this point, they had enough proof that Misa was Second Kira, but why didn't
they capture her? Why did they let her go?

question
death-note
Why didn't the Task Force capture Misa Amane?


She was let go because to be a GOD you have to have the brains to kill. Of
course she was just killing for Light, also she almost did no harm, just what
was right for her lover. And then again she's suffered enough halving her
lifespan twice now, She might have not much long to live.

But why was she let free? If you remember she's lost memory of all that she
did. The detectives must have thought she was innocent enough that they let
her go.

EDIT: They skipped her because she was distancing away from the main character
and the author was too focused on its main pieces like "L" simply being killed
in the middle of the anime :D

all they had was misa's clothes fiber if I recall correctly...the better
question is why would they ignore the false finger prints and put the weight
on the clothes fiber...so L rightfully figured that the prints were false but
the fibers thats where its at?

Also you can probably presume they did go after her...didnt the show end at
that point

Maybe the author don't want to lower the excitement in climax because even
Near going after Mesa can't prove she is second kira which may leave us a
puzzled climax. Mesa lost her memories after forsaking the ownership of her
notebook. Near won't be able to prove she is second kira because N works
almost like L it will be same like when L tried to prove Mesa as second kira
by confining her and Lite for month. There is one secret that Near still
unaware of, deathnote ownership and he obviously don't know if deathnote owner
forsaken their ownership their memories are lost and when come in contact with
their deathnote they can regain their memories until their contact with
deathnote. Even if they captured Mesa for investigation they may never make
her touch deathnote cause they know of second kira eye power danger. If after
writing Lite name in his notebook Reyuk(shinigami) will take Lites deathnote
and go to his world. Near and other police will be left with a deathnote
without shinigami. Then also they can never know of deathnote ownership.

I think we need to consider all the times she was held under watch for one
reason or another. First was under suspicion for being the second kira, during
which she lost her memories and the bulk of the task force then believed she
was innocent and harmless (aside from L who was figuring out why she went from
determinedly silent to the ditzy blonde) Then after L's death, Near manages to
bring up Aizawa ' s doubts involving Light, and even misa. So with Ide and
Mogi to back him up, they have Mogi keep an eye on her under the guise of
police protection where she does nothing even hinting at ulterior motives
(having already submitted ownership to Mikami per Light's order)

Finally you have Near and the SPK keeping her and Mogi in captivity under
surveillance again until 1 hour before the meet up where Misa is dropped off
at a high class hotel and allowed to call Light. Near knew full well in his
theorizing that Misa was the 2nd kira. But by this point it would stand to
reason that they all deemed her no longer a threat. With the last 2 books
burned and no sympathetic shinigami to give her a new one and restore her
memories, she could really do nothing about the situation and doesn't even
know she committed any crime.
