reinvestigates

Looks into anew

Reinvestigates means to investigate again, typically because new evidence has emerged or the original inquiry was inadequate: The district attorney reinvestigates cold cases when DNA evidence becomes available.

The prefix re- signals a return to something previously examined, often with fresh eyes or methods.
