Events of Criminal Case
Dead Carpet
Roxie, along with Frank and Jupiter Crane, watched the Ivywood Film Awards. After Russell and the player arrested Velma Bannister for the murder of Tyler Snakes, the three of them appeared to them in a brainwashed state as the Utopians had played the brainwashing tape during the awards despite the team's success in catching Velma in the act.
Later on, she (and all the other brainwashed people) were cured by Hannah's synthesized tape that reversed the effect of brainwashing.
A Killer Among Us
Roxie found herself in big trouble after being flagged as a suspect during the murder investigation of Danny Moto once Amy and the player found her necklace in the police armory. She was shocked to hear that she was a suspect considering the killer broke into the armory. Roxie explained that due to having a lot of free time in between autopsies, she often went to the armory and took a nap there. Amy informed her that she needed to leave until the investigation was over, but Roxie informed her and the player that they were making a mistake flagging her as a suspect.
Roxie was spoken to again regarding a letter she sent to Louis De Rico, who Danny killed in the last case. She knew that she should have informed the player, but she and Louis fell in love. She met him at the Mennagio Casino a few weeks back, and after they spoke they went home together. Amy thought it would not end well between the two of them, but Roxie said that she did not see Louis's murder at the hands of Danny coming and she was angry at him for killing someone she loved so much.
Roxie was found to be innocent after Frank was arrested, then escaped with his ex-wife. After Hannah suggested that the two of them escaped to The Wastes, Amy and the player spoke with Roxie as she had been there before. She explained that The Wastes had massive sandstorms and the soil was polluted from years of shady experiments so much that the place was sealed off from the public. She had a hard time thinking that Frank was responsible for this, but was not surprised that he and Karen escaped to The Wastes as they thought it would be the last place anyone would look for them. Roxie was spoken to one last time before the player and Amy embarked on their journey through The Wastes for advice. Other than not to go to there, she told them bring lots of water avoid the sandstorms, and not to get lost, or else they would die. She advised that they wear suits to go with their helmets, and that she would keep her fingers crossed that they would succeed.
The Final Countdown
Roxie was mad at the player for bringing Frank dead after the player made it clear that Frank was murdered. Amy promised that she would ensure Frank died for something after Roxie asked the team to bring Frank's killer to justice, and she did after a morale boost from Russell.
Although Frank did a lot of bad things as a cop, he ultimately did a lot of good things per Chief Marquez as the team held a funeral for Frank. Although Yann and Hannah remembered Frank from the bad things he did, Roxie made it clear that Frank atoned himself to save Pacific Bay from Albert Tesla, something Andrea agreed on. Andrea then commenced burying Frank as the officer who misbehaved at times, but was ultimately good at heart.
Analyses
As the Chief Medical Examiner (Coroner) of the Pacific Bay Police Department, Roxie has the responsibility of carefully examining and analyzing each murdered corpse, and to inform the team of such results after a certain amount of time or a speed-up process using Criminal Case Cash. Her task-wait rates vary depending on the difficulty of the task, but they all cost 1 Criminal Case Cash per 30 minutes. It should be noted that she also conducts physical and digital analyses at times.
Roxie often makes jokes about the victim's death whenever she finishes autopsying their body. These jokes are either a twist on how they died, or something relating to them (see: List of running gags § Roxie's jokes).

Trivia
- Roxie is one of the main characters who are flagged as a suspect in a case for plausible reasons.
- Roxie's shirt did not have the light-green zig-zag stripes when the first case of Pacific Bay first went live; this was fixed upon the release of the second case of Pacific Bay.
- While reporting Felicia Steppingstone's autopsy result in The Young and the Lifeless, Roxie tries to conciliate a discontented Frank by utilizing the popular tagline "Why so serious?"—which originated in the 2008 superhero film The Dark Knight.
