Crime Scene Information

3. The victim's head is pointed toward the room door.

Part I - Rough Sketch

1. On a new piece of notebook paper, make a rough sketch of your crime scene. Stick figures are okay for the victim. Try to sketch everything from an aerial (above) view. Your sketch should not be in 3D or color. Look at pages 15-20 here for examples.
2. Label your directional terms. (north, south, east, and west)
3. Number each piece of evidence.
4. Decide which two points you will label "Point A" and "Point B." These fixed points should be a room corner, a window or a door. Label your two fixed points, Point A and Point B.
5. Draw a light line (with a ruler) from Point A to each piece of evidence. Write each measurement (in cm) on each line.
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 with Point B.
7. On your sketch, list your evidence with numbers and a brief description. This is your legend/key.
8. Add a scale, or you can add "not drawn to scale" for this activity.
9. Create a documentation block of the case number, date, time, location, and investigator (your) name. For example:
   • Case #47392
   • Date: 9/15/17
   • Time: 11:00 am
   • Location: 123 Main Street, Anywhere, AL
   • Investigator: John Doe
