Okay, @Zay-Two-Kay forwarded me the email they received from the cops, and it definitely looks legit to me. The nested version of Zay's original email that the cops received contains a warning about the email being from "outside of the organization" (as one would expect from an email system that a police department would have set up), the purported email address of the cop is real and listed on their official site, and the cop's reply contains a phone number and address for the department, the PNG of their county seal, and the department's official Facebook and Twitter accounts.
There's also a couple minute details that add to my belief this probably isn't an elaborate fabrication, that being that the header of the cop's reply (being viewed from Zay's end) is in another language, which would be a weird thing to include if someone was trying to make as convincing a fake as possible. It would also be weird for a hoaxer to have the original email to the cops be sent mid-day on Jan. 27, while the cop's reply only came tonight, with an apology for the late reply because their system had marked Zay's email as spam.
This looks plausible to me.
