The IOPC wants an officer quizzed over why CPS advice to caution her was contested. She later took her life.
For four years Christine Flack has been in the dark about why daughter Caroline was charged with assaulting her boyfriend against the advice of prosecutors.
Christine said last night: "We won't stop until we get the truth."
The determined mum's tireless campaigning to get to the truth took a step closer after the Independent Office of Police Conduct urged the Met to reopen its investigation into the case against the tragic TV star.
The watchdog has recommended the force's Directorate of Professional Standards interview an officer who was at Caroline's 2019 arrest, shortly before she killed herself.
He was said to have been involved in the move to overrule the CPS decision to only issue the Love Island host with a caution for attacking Lewis Burton.
But the unnamed officer was not compelled to give evidence for initial reviews into police conduct as he had left the force. He has since returned to duty.
Christine was told last month about the development.
The Met last year apologised to Caroline's family after admitting officers did not record why they appealed against the CPS caution.
Christine said: "Something very unusual happened to Carrie at the police station that night, but no one kept a proper record explaining why.
"I have now made a complaint to the compel officer to give the statement we think he should have given four years ago. As a family, we have been left with important unanswered questions."
