Can I cover a case that is still open?

Yes. Tell it up to where the record stops (what was taken, who was questioned, what is still missing) and let that gap be the ending. The Gardner theft has been open since 1990 and its empty frames still hang, which is a better last shot than any guess.

Will the video draw the real people involved?

The drawn pictures are written to leave their faces out. The narration names them, and the pictures show what surrounds them: the house, the evidence table, the courthouse steps, a figure seen from behind. A drawn face of a real person would only be a stranger wearing their name. With Real photos or Mix of all, a real photo of a named person can appear when it was found under their name.

What happens if the script gets a date or an amount wrong?

Once the script is finished and before it is voiced, it is read for claims that are confidently false; only those lines are rewritten and the pictures are kept. It is a backstop for confident errors, so check any figure you plan to put in a title yourself.

Faceless video guides

True crime videos, without showing your face

True crime short videos live on one thing: a real case told with a twist the viewer didn't see coming. Pick a case and get a narrated, captioned video in minutes, and every script is checked for being a real, documented case before it's voiced.

True crime on short video is one case, told from the second it turned. A night watchman buzzing two uniforms through a museum side door, a dummy head rolling off a prison bunk: open there, rewind to how it got that far, then close on the detail that broke it open or the piece that is still missing. Heists, escapes, frauds and the investigations that cracked them hold attention without gore, which keeps a channel watchable over dinner. It suits creators who enjoy the procedural side (the receipts, the trial, the sentence) and want a series rather than one viral hit. Choose cases with a record you could point to, keep the real names and dates, and never call anyone guilty who was never charged.

What makes one of these work

Start at the moment everything changed, then go back and explain how it got there.
One case told properly beats five mentioned in passing.
End on the detail people repeat in the comments.

Openings that work

Example first lines. Use one as it is or write your own in the same shape.

At 1:24 in the morning on March 18, 1990, a guard at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum let two police officers in through the side door. They weren't police officers.
At 7 a.m. on June 12, 1962, an Alcatraz guard reached into a cell to wake a prisoner, and a dummy head rolled onto the floor.
In September 1995, The Washington Post printed the Unabomber's manifesto, and David Kaczynski recognised the way his brother wrote.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft, 1990
Thirteen works taken by two men dressed as police. The empty frames still hang, and nothing has ever been recovered.
The 1962 escape from Alcatraz
Dummy heads made of soap and toilet paper, a raft stitched from raincoats, and three men the FBI never found.
How the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911
A worker in a white smock walked out with it, and the painting surfaced in Florence more than two years later.
The Lufthansa heist at JFK airport, 1978
Millions in cash and jewels never recovered, and a string of killings among the people connected to it in the months after.
The tunnel into Brazil's Central Bank in Fortaleza, 2005
An 80-metre tunnel dug from a house posing as an artificial grass company, and about 164 million reais gone over one weekend.
The Hatton Garden vault raid over Easter 2015
A gang of older men came in through a lift shaft and drilled through a vault wall half a metre thick.
How David Kaczynski led the FBI to the Unabomber
A manifesto printed in a newspaper, read by the one person who knew the writer's voice. The family story is the case.
How a family tree caught the Golden State Killer in 2018
Investigators built trees from a DNA match site until one former police officer was left. Forensics that feels like a puzzle.
The Dunbar Armored robbery in Los Angeles, 1997
A fired safety inspector used his own keys, and he was caught when a friend paid with cash still in its bank straps.
