Google Books (apparently) has this from a 1995 "Sweet Valley Twins" book:
"Deadly Voyage" by Francine Pascal in the form "Who are you, and what have you
done with the real Jessica?"  The snippet part is lacking the full quote, but
searching for "who are you and what have you done" before 1997 will turn it up
and give a little context. This definitely supports your secondary-spread
suspicion.
