Nobody declares Erika to be a detective of any sort until the very end where Erika introduces herself as "a detective" in red. They very much explicitly disclaim Erika having any detective authority in that episode, on multiple occasions. Battler leaves open the option of taking it, but Erika never does so.
There's no real way she could retroactively reclaim detective authority after committing murders anyway. Unless you're going to argue that she killed people and then declared herself a detective from that point on... and if you argue that, then all one would have to do is state that she didn't kill Kanon, which is an easy fix (suicide and/or personality suppression, either way Erika didn't cause it).
