Look Up Your CSI Casefile

Wondering if those pesky crime-scene investigators were able to dig up anything on you? Investigate the CSI Zeta Casefile site, launched by CBS.com and sponsored by Cadillac in conjunction with the network’s CSI Trilogy episodes.

CBS will present the three-episode story line about an interstate trucking ring that specializes in human cargo and black-market organ harvesting Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on CSI: Miami, Nov. 11 at 10 p.m. on CSI: NY and Nov. 12 at 9 p.m. on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

The CSI Zeta Casefile application uses Facebook Connect to pull photos and information from users’ Facebook accounts and produce a personalized criminal file and video, including artificial information on past crimes, aliases and last-known locations, and CSI fans can share their experiences with other fans and friends in their Facebook networks.

The site will also feature exclusive interviews with cast and real CSI experts, virtual tours of the three CSI crime labs and the chance to win a trip to the set of CSI.

CBS.com vice president and manager Bill Binenstock said:

Each of the CSI series continues to be among the most popular shows on CBS. The upcoming CSI Trilogy has caused enormous buzz throughout the CBS.com CSI communities, and we wanted to build a site that would give fans a fascinating and exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the three series. The Zeta Casefile program is a creative and fun way to keep users engaged, while the behind-the-scenes content will give fans a deeper look into how the fictional CSI series are the most realistic looking shows on television.
