And then don't respond to her anymore. You don't need to continually defend yourself to her family.

Yup.
Your wife's sister needs to butt out,
if she can't understand that you have found out why your wife asked for separation and if she can only see things your wife's way which unfortunately will probably be the case, end the contact with that message and continue doing whatever you need to do, don't let your wife's sister impede your actions.
