Outline drawn on the ground marking evidence at a crime scene
A chalk outline is a temporary outline, typically of a person, drawn on the ground, outlining evidence at a crime scene. The outline provides context for photographs of the crime scene and assists investigators in preserving the evidence. Modern investigators almost never use chalk or tape as outlines at a crime scene to avoid contaminating the evidence. Although rare in modern investigations, they have become a literary trope in popular culture.
