In this episode, I explore the life and legacy of Frances Glessner Lee, a true crime pioneer often called the 'mother of forensic science'. Her meticulously crafted Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death—intricate dollhouse-sized crime scenes—helped revolutionise police investigations and are still used in training today. Join me as we uncover:
