Ed Primeau is an American audio and video forensics expert, based in Rochester Hills, Michigan, United States. He became known for working on the audio analysis of cases such as the Shooting of Trayvon Martin, Air Force One radio transmissions after the assassination of John F.

Early life and education
Ed Primeau was born in 1958 in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Career
In February 2012, Primeau worked on the Trayvon Martin shooting case.[1]
In the same year, Primeau was approached by author and JFK assassination researcher Bill Kelly, who wanted technical help in combining two audiotapes of Air Force One radio transmissions. Primeau concluded that parts of the original tape were missing.[2]
In October 2013, Ed was hired by an Orlando Sentinel journalist to analyze the voice of Susan Bennett, an American voice-over artist, known for providing the voice cover for the female American voice of Apple's Siri. After finishing his analysis and the comparison of the Siri voice and Bennett's, he claimed the voices were a 100% match, thus confirming Susan actually provided her voice for Siri.[3]
In 2014, he was working on the case of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Primeau concluded that tape edits were obviously made.[4][5][6]
