If all the mounts are newish, I'd start searching for bracket failure.
That happened to my CD a while back after one of my lower mounts shredded. I have poly dogbone mounts and those transfer a LOT of abuse to the three bolts holding the mount in place. If there's rust, or general metal fatigue from other damaged mounts, that'll be a high failure spot.
Have her look under the hood and enlist the help of a friend to start the car as she watches for movement. If she gets a loud noise inside the cabin, chances are she'll hear it in the engine bay as well. The squeaking may not actually be the belt...metal on metal, as you'd find when that fender mount breaks, sounds shockingly like a bad belt.
The repair can be done two ways: first, if only the mount is bad, getting a new one solves the problem. The more likely cause, however, is that the threaded inlays on the fender have rusted, and you'll want to weld the bracket in place. The latter happened to me, and about 20 minutes with the MIG welder took care of it.
If you're near Chicago, and it turns out the mount bracket failed, I'd be happy to weld it in place.
