This doesn't add up, they would need to auth from her email or phone to change that info.

They did gain access to her email account. My wife said she did get notifications from FB on her email about stuff being changed but she ignored it thinking it was spam. The hacker locked her out of her AOL email account. But my wife called AOL and after spending a few hours on the phone she was able to get back into her email that same day. But by then the hacker had already changed her FB email to a gmail account.

Very common for people that use the same e-mail & password combination for various sites. As soon as a site is compromised and an email address/password is known, those people start trying the same combinations on various other sites to try to access as much as possible.
