The shot with Angie Dickinson started with her head, panned down to her upper chest (above breast level) but still some of her lower face, then there was a noticeable (to anyone watching for it) jump to breast level and upper neck. From there (with the body double) the camera panned all the way down to her feet, back up to the upper neck when there was another jump and there was Angie's face. It was done well enough that many people missed the switch until someone pointed it out.
Even though the zoom in is definitely not like they show on TV, I am aware of a real case that was successfully solved by using multiple frames to enhance the name/logo/tear on a T-shirt. The tear was what wrapped up the case though. As I said I am aware of the case but did not see any of the video or finished still shots.
