Apartment Living Room Crime Scene Diagram

A crime scene floor plan records the measured relationship between the room, its openings, fixed furniture and evidence. This apartment living room example begins with the exterior room and adjacent hallway, then places the entry door and windows before adding furniture. The evidence markers use short, unique labels so an investigator can connect the drawing to an evidence log and photographs. A diagram is most useful when measurements are taken from reliable reference points such as walls and door frames. It should complement, not replace, notes, photographs and the evidence record. Update the plan as the documented scene is clarified.
