A question for detectives - Spiderman

I just started playing the DLC of Spider-Man by Insomniac Games. Detective Mackey tells me to find paintings arpund town stolen by the old Black Cat, who died trying to escape prison and he had a faughter he never wanted to join crime.

Now Spiderman knows the current Black Cat is Felicia Hardy but acts along. Meanwhile, Det Mackey says he is about to retire.. tells Spidey he will send someone over to pick the found paintings up AND also asks how the new Black Cat is.

So, could he be the original Black Cat Hardy who faked his own death and just wants his old paintings back to finally retire with sufficient money.. and obviously is asking about the new Black Cat as he loves his daughter, but would not want to be back in her life as he faked his own death AND niw has seen her follow in his footsteps as a master burglar which he never wanted ?
