Phoebe Campbell (Murder, She Wrote)

Phoebe Campbell (Rosalind Chao) is a hidden villainess from Murder, She Wrote's twelfth and final season opener, "Nailed" (airdate September 21, 1995). She is a receptionist at a nearby nail salon.
Phoebe was shown performing her duties in the episode, but in a twist, she was revealed as the accomplice to Billy Blake, one of the Uptown Burglars. One job was done in the beginning of the episode, which resulted in a woman being non-fatally stabbed in her home and a valuable coin being stolen. The villainess was also shown discussing a deal with Ralph Stafford, which had her demanding to run the salon, resulting in her pay doubling.
Phoebe's reveal as a villainous conspirator came when she approached Steve Burke at a gathering and asked how his arm was after being karate chopped. Her query ended up exposing her, as Steve was attacked by Billy, and there was no way Phoebe could have known that unless Billy told her. During her confrontation with police Lt. Sam Kriley, the evil Phoebe denied knowing Billy, only for Steve to remind her about her comment about him being karate chopped. Despite still being in denial over her true role, Phoebe was arrested for her role in the burglaries.
