It's a mistake.
I expect that the sentence was originally something like "Are you able to send..." and when they revised it to "Can you..." they failed to delete the "to."

That's definitely a mistake.
It should be either "Can you send me" or possibly "Can I get you to send me".

"Can you **~~to~~** send me a photo of a piece of evidence?"

I wonder if it originally said "Are you able to..." and they just screwed up making the edit

Yes, it should be “Can you send me a photo…”

They used the full infinitive (to + base form of the verb) instead of the bare infinitive (just the base form of the verb), which should have been done in this instance. If there was another verb in there like "Can you find time to send me a photo" or "Can you manage to send me a photo" though the latter might seem a bit impolite.

I don't know the story, so it's also *possible* (if the forensic lab has previously been stated to have two people there, one of who(m) is Tony) that the intention was *you two*.
