Until someone reverse engineers the source, or sniffs the traffic and proves otherwise to my satisfaction, I tend to trust what Amazon says, and what they say is that it's constantly listening LOCALLY ONLY for the wake word, then ONLY STUFF SAID following the wake word (you know, while the blue light ring is active....) is sent to the cloud.
So unless someone in the room said the wake work followed by something significant to the crime, it's unlikely there is audio evidence in Amazon's cloud, but it's worth checking.
Hmm. I wonder if an Alexa "Call 911!" skill would be useful?
