Alibi

An alibi (Latin for "elsewhere") was an explanation of one's whereabouts or activities during the commission of a crime.
Such an explanation was usually given to a detective with a police force who was investigating a crime. If other evidence was found which supported such an alibi, the police then investigated other individuals. If there was no other evidence, the police investigated such an individual more closely.
