Alibi Location(s)
a known location suggested or linked to a subject (for example, a subject's home) that is distinct from the crime scene.
Discussion—The term alibi or alibi location can be perceived negatively, but comparisons of geological materials from alibi locations can be exonerating. Alibi location is used in this document to be succinct, however use of this term in documentation of evidence, evidence examination reports, or courtroom testimony is discouraged.
