I dont believe there is a big enough difference to differentiate the two words across the board. I think that although the context that you use the words in may result in one word or the other sounds weird I dont think it really changes the fact that the definitions of the words are vastly similar.

For example if you say in a sentance that "the police detective inspected the murder to find the subject" it will really just sound weird although it is not really changing the definition or message of what you are saying. It would just be more normal to replace the word incpected with the word investigated. Im sure people that speak english as a second language get this mixed up a lot.
