The possible crime observed was the destruction of a very expensive spacecraft and the deaths of 7 people. One of the reasons to preserve all evidence is to discover if there was any malfeasance somehow involved, however unlikely. Some of the decisions made by NASA management leading up to the Challenger disaster amounted to willful negligence. None of this happened in the control room, but it's possible some logbook documented some communication on a decision from someone that would be relevant to an investigation.
