How reliable is your memory of a face? In this episode of Murder Unscripted, Katherine and Ed sit down with world-renowned forensic sketch artist and cognitive-interviewing expert Gil Zamora.

Gil shares his remarkable journey from law enforcement to becoming one of the most outspoken reformers in forensic art. He breaks down how traditional eyewitness interviews can contaminate memory, how his Mindful Interview Methodprotects cognitive evidence, and what really happens behind the scenes of high-stakes investigations—including his work on the 2003 Kathy Loreck murder.

Gil also takes us inside the transformative Dove “Real Beauty Sketches” campaign, revealing what it taught him about perception, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about our own faces.

Then we put his skills (and our memories) to the test in a forensic-sketch mini-game featuring a young Tim Allen, whose pre-fame criminal past becomes the basis for an unforgettable demonstration.

If you love true crime, psychology, memory science, or behind-the-scenes investigative work, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

On a sunny afternoon in 2003, 49-year-old Kathleen “Kathy” Loreck stepped out for her regular lunchtime walk along a quiet Concord, California trail. Minutes later, she was brutally attacked in broad daylight — a crime so evil it shook the entire community to its core.

In this episode of Murder Unscripted, we unpack the chilling details behind Kathy's murder, the witnesses who stepped up to help, and the composite sketch that brought a ruthless killer to justice.

A survivor’s courage. A forensic artist’s skill. A killer exposed.

In this episode of Murder Unscripted, we tell the story of Daniel Lee Corwin, a Texas serial killer whose crimes haunted Huntsville in the 1980s — and how a single forensic sketch helped identify him before he could strike again.

Through survivor accounts, investigative records, and forensic breakthroughs, we trace Corwin’s descent into violence and the remarkable teamwork that finally stopped him.

This episode explores:

• The moment a survivor’s memory reshaped the investigation
• The artistry and science behind forensic sketches
• How law enforcement used those tools to track Corwin down
