Abstract
A marker for placement adjacent an evidence item at a crime scene having upstanding panels connected to form a freestanding unit. A base panel extends from the lower edge of the upstanding panels and is imprinted with reference indicia such as suitable scales and a photographic target. The surfaces of all panels carry alphanumeric indicia. The markers may be placed on a horizontal surface or suspended by use of a fastener from a vertical surface. The markers are provided to law enforcement personnel in kits containing multiple sequentially imprinted markers.
