Yes, as a manager, I would hate that someone initiated an investigation - BUT I believe that I have an open (AND FAIR) enough relationship with all of my staff that they bring those issues to me before HR has to get involved. That is your boss' responsibility that she has not created that environment.
Yes, you definitely did the right thing, even though I can understand your second thoughts and anxiety. They should interview several people and as long as people are honest, everything will work out the way it should. Just hate that it has to cause you stress in the meantime.

Excellent.
The only thing I would add is that if someone is cheating, then someone else is losing something. It is not only unfair, but unethical and you have a right to protect yourself.
Sometimes in situations like these, if they are simply 'caught' somewhere down the road, they can sometimes place the blame elsewhere. I don't know what this person did but you know if it is wrong. And if it is...then it is. You didn't cause it. She did.
Keep your chin up. Sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do. What you did took courage. I applaud you.
