Role in Case(s)
Jacqueline was first spoken to after the player and Carmen Martinez found an autographed cardboard cut-out of her she sent to the victim. She sent the cut-out to Annette as a gift, saying she was a creative inspiration to women everywhere. Jacqueline was shocked to hear that Annette was murdered, but wondered at the same time if the Manuscript she recently obtained was part of it.

Jacqueline was interrogated again after she called the player and Carmen to the Louvre. She had been looking for Annette's Manuscript as well, and considering it was nowhere to be found she was interrogated again on the spot. According to her, she heard that Annette bought the Manuscript and asked her if she could use it for researching her next book. However, Annette would not let her have any access to the book. Carmen pointed out how before Jacqueline called Annette an inspiration, and while she did say that she felt the victim was holding back her creative talents by not granting her access to the Manuscript.

Jacqueline was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Constantin Perrier, however they needed her help in decrypting the Manuscript. From what she could tell, something was going to happen in Germany. She was not sure as what would happen or where in Germany it would be, but given more time with the book she could find out. Given how valuable as evidence the Manuscript is, Carmen would not allow her to keep it. They at least allowed her to make a copy of it, and she swore she would share her findings with them.
