* ''Series/{{Strike|2017}}'': How Robin learns some details about the Margot Bamborough cold case--like how a witness saw two people in raincoats struggling on the sidewalk--by watching a true crime documentary on [=YouTube=] of the Bamborough disappearance, with scenes labeled "Reconstruction".

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheThinBlueLine'' was one of the first true crime documentaries to make use of this trope, relying extensively on recreations of the murder being investigated as a form of visual aid, as the rest of the film consists of interviews with the people involved with the case.

* In ''Series/JonathanCreek'', Carla's news show does this and like pretty much every endeavor she is involved in, Jonathan (and presumably the writers as well) consider it in extremely poor taste.

* In ''Series/JonathanCreek'', Carla's news show does this and like pretty much every endeavor she is involved in, Jonathan (and presumably the writers as well) consider it in extremely poor taste. At one point they also end up participating in an in-person one, in which a female police officer dressees similarly to the victim of the week and retraces her last known movements hoping passers-by will have their memories jogged... Which ends up having almost exactly the opposite effect when she gets shot at. [[spoiler: Or so it seems.]]

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/TheFlintstones'', when a news team presents a supposedly factual reenactment of Fred stealing money from Slate and Company for its breaking story "The Case of the Embezzling Executive". Said "reenactment" consists of a Fred-like actor [[CardCarryingVillain blatantly shoveling huge amounts of cash into a suitcase]] while loudly declaring [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "I'm an EXECUTIVE! I'm... EMBEZZLING!"]]

Added DiffLines:

* The ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode LDSK features the team recreating one of the shooting events. Their goal is to determine which, if any, of the victims got a look at the shooter. They sometimes do this less formally, simply walking through the crime scenes and trying to see what the unsub saw. That way, they can determine whether certain things were done by design versus done because they were convenient in the moment.
