Evidence board
An evidence board (also known as a "conspiracy board," "crazy wall," or "murder map") is a common background feature in thriller and detective fiction movies and TV.[1][2] It features a collage of media from different sources, pinned to a pinboard or stuck to a wall, and frequently interconnected with (usually red) string to mark connections.[3] A more technical related name for these sorts of visualizations and charts within law enforcement are Anacapa charts which are used for social network analysis.[4]
Evidence boards are associated in fiction with both detective activities and obsessional interests, including those of delusional individuals pursuing conspiracy theories,[5] hence the alternative names.
Evidence boards can be seen in numerous TV series, including The Bridge, BoJack Horseman, Fargo, Homeland, Sherlock, and True Detective.[6][3]
Evidence boards have also been used as a teaching tool.[7]
