resift

Strain once more

To resift is to sift again—passing material through a sieve or filter a second time, whether flour for baking or evidence in an investigation.

The word implies that the first sifting wasn't thorough enough, or that new scrutiny is warranted: Detectives resifted the case files after new witnesses came forward.
