This had to have been an inside job. There's no way she pulled a Harry Houdini and just "slipped out" of those handcuffs. She had help from somebody.

It is very possible this person did exactly that, slipped out of locked cuffs. This has occurred over the years and is often due to a small wrist size combined with thin hands that allow the person to squeeze the hand through the locked cuff.
Once a female arrestee walked up to the watch commander's desk in Van Nuys (bench is out of view) to tell him her handcuffs had come off. Sometimes the police get lucky and sometimes (this case) the arrestee gets lucky.
