Role in Case(s)
Cornelia was the curator of the local Grimsborough museum where a famous writer named Wilfred Turnscrew was taxidermised and put on display. When the team were searching the local Grimsborough museum, they found a torn photo. After piercing it back together, they learned that it was a pamphlet of the museum exhibition with the curator, Cornelia's name on it. Seeing this, the team quickly went to Cornelia to ask her questions about about the exhibition.

Later, the team again went to Cornelia to know if she had any extra information. When asked about it, Cornelia replied that she didn't have any other information about the murder. She told the team that museums were meant to be a place of calm and respect, not of such savagary. Cornelia also said that she was being very stressed by all this, and as a result, she was suffering from bad heartburn, which had stopped her from going to see her favourite play, Doctor Faustus.

At the end of the case, it was proved that Cornelia was the murderer of Wilfred after all the proofs pointed towards her. Before being arrested, Cornelia explained to the team why she had killed the famous writer. She said that the people had stopped coming to the museum since they were more interested in Wilfred's books. Without visitors, she had to sell museum badges for money and to keep the museum alive. At last, she couldn't take it anymore, and after watching Wilfred get beaten up by James Savage, Cornelia took the opportunity and killed the writer with a skinning knife, then taxidermised him, and put him on display to get everyone's attention back to the museum.
