    The trope of chalk outlines around bodies was never a real thing that cops did.

    It was invented by Hollywood in the 50s to suggest the presence of a corpse or murder without showing a corpse onscreen, which would have caused the show to be classified out of its desired classification or be censored.

    Cops never did that because it would contaminate the scene and wasn’t actually useful to them

    I just really like that the wife shows concern for him. Idk… it’s a small detail but at least someone cares…

      she looks concerned as soon as she see’s him. she’s not concerned for him. she’s concerned from him.

      dude’s a wife beater.

      edit: dv all you want, now that your eyes are open you can see the hand-wringing worry on her face and nothing will stop it. 🫠

        I think they tend to place a device for scale, then take multiple photos. That answers most questions, and they can recreate the scene/positions from those photos and videos.

        I imagine some places are even doing 3D photogrammetric scans - digital scans of crime scenes that are automatically receated in a 3D model with accurate textures. This technology is after all already being used by game developers and other industries.
