AI Insight — Episode 7: How AI Reconstructs Crime Scenes
Jan 11, 2026Crime scenes are rarely intact. Objects have moved, memories are unreliable, and evidence is often disturbed by panic, time, or human error.
In this episode of AI Insight, we explore how artificial intelligence reconstructs crime scenes — using 3D scanning, physics-based simulations, behavioral models, and digital forensics to recreate events that no human eye witnessed in full.
From bullet trajectories and bloodstain patterns to shadow analysis, audio echoes, and data from everyday devices, AI can synthesize thousands of variables into a coherent reconstruction of what happened, when it happened, and how events unfolded.
We al...
Duration: 00:05:24Ep 9: The Somerton Man — The Tamám Shud Mystery
Jan 08, 2026In December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach near Adelaide, Australia. He carried no identification, all labels had been removed from his clothing, and no clear cause of death could be determined.
Months later, investigators discovered a hidden scrap of paper sewn into his trousers. It bore two words torn from a Persian poem: Tamám Shud — “it is finished.” The discovery led to a trail of coded notes, an abandoned suitcase, and unanswered questions that fueled decades of speculation.
In this episode of Crimecase By AI, we examine the verified facts behind...
Duration: 00:09:27AI Insight — Episode 6: The Psychology of False Confessions
Jan 04, 2026Why do people confess to crimes they didn’t commit?
False confessions are far more common than most people realize. Research shows that a significant portion of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence involve confessions from innocent individuals.
In this episode of AI Insight, we examine the psychological mechanisms behind false confessions — from exhaustion and pressure inside the interrogation room to the moment when memory, fear, and doubt begin to blur.
We also explore how artificial intelligence can help detect unreliable confessions by analyzing language patterns, stress indicators, and interrogation dynamics — offering a data-d...
Duration: 00:05:34Ep 8: The Isdal Woman
Jan 03, 2026In November 1970, the burned body of an unidentified woman was discovered in a remote valley outside Bergen, Norway.
The investigation revealed a trail of false identities, abandoned suitcases, coded notes, and movements across Europe during the height of the Cold War. Despite one of Norway’s most extensive criminal investigations, her true identity was never established.
In this episode of Crimecase By AI, we examine the verified facts behind the case known as The Isdal Woman — from the discovery in Isdalen to the mysterious luggage, forged passports, and the unresolved questions that continue to surround her...
Duration: 00:08:49AI Insight — Episode 5: Can Criminal Profiling Be Trusted?
Jan 03, 2026Criminal profiling has long been portrayed as a near-perfect investigative tool — capable of revealing who an offender is, how they think, and what they’ll do next.
In reality, profiling is neither precise nor scientific. It can narrow possibilities, but it can also mislead investigations through bias, assumptions, and intuition.
In this episode of AI Insight, we examine why criminal profiling sometimes works, where it fails, and how artificial intelligence is changing the way investigators analyze behavior — by replacing intuition with data, without losing sight of human complexity.

Duration: 00:05:16Ep 7: The Boy in the Box
Dec 25, 2025In 1957, the body of an unidentified boy was discovered inside a discarded cardboard box in a wooded area outside Philadelphia.
The case quickly became known as The Boy in the Box — one of America’s most enduring unidentified child cases. Despite decades of investigation, his identity remained unknown for more than 65 years.
In this episode of Crimecase By AI, we examine the verified facts surrounding the discovery, the investigation, and the forensic genealogy breakthrough that finally restored his identity as Joseph Augustus Zarelli.
This episode is presented in a calm, documentary tone and is b...

Dec 21, 2025AI Insight #4 — Can Machines Understand Grief?
Grief is one of the most complex human experiences — deeply emotional, unpredictable, and often misunderstood.
In this AI Insight episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is being used to analyze emotional trauma in criminal investigations — and where its understanding reaches its limits.
From vocal patterns and fragmented speech to silence, shock, and dissociation, AI can detect the measurable signs of grief. But can a machine truly understand loss, suffering, and emotional collapse — or only recognize patterns?
This episode examines:

Dec 18, 2025On Thanksgiving Day 2018, 29-year-old flight instructor Kelsey Berreth was last seen leaving a grocery store in Woodland Park, Colorado, carrying her one-year-old daughter. She never returned home.
What initially appeared to be a missing-person case soon developed into one of the most unsettling investigations in recent U.S. history. With no body recovered, investigators were forced to rely on digital forensics, forensic reconstruction, and witness testimony to determine what had happened.
In this episode of Crimecase By AI, we examine the verified facts surrounding the disappearance and murder of Kelsey Berreth — including the investigation, the ro...
Duration: 00:10:03AI Insight — Episode 3: Human Memory and Eyewitness Reliability
Dec 14, 2025In this AI Insight episode, we examine how artificial intelligence is used to analyze human memory and assess the reliability of eyewitness testimony.
The episode explores how memory is formed, stored, and altered over time, and why eyewitness accounts can be affected by stress, suggestion, and cognitive bias.
Using established research and verified investigative methods, this episode focuses on analysis rather than narrative.
No speculation.
No dramatization.
No added emotion.
