Inquest

noun: an investigation, an inquiry

The police chief ordered an inquest to determine what went wrong.

Historically criminals could get away with a lot if there were not several eye witnesses, but today technology gives forensics an ability to do such elaborate inquests that a much higher percentage get caught through corroborative evidence.

Synonyms: probe, quest, research
