Frances Glessner Lee discovered her true calling later in life. An heiress without formal schooling, she was in her fifties when she transformed her fascination with true crime and medicine into the foundation of a new field: forensic science. In the late 1920s, she drew inspiration from a family friend, a medical examiner involved in notorious cases— including the infamous Sacco and Vanzetti trial. For Glessner Lee, the puzzle of untangling the truth about violent deaths proved irresistible. She recognized that solving crimes demanded both rigorous methods and professional training. She funded and helped found the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard University. Her most unusual teaching tool: intricately crafted dollhouse dioramas depicting grisly crime scenes.

A former EMT/paramedic Bruce Goldfarb is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared on All Things Considered, the Washington Post, USA Today, American Health, Baltimore magazine, and many other print and online publications. Goldfarb was executive assistant to the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Maryland from 2012 to 2022. In that role, he was public information officer for the OCME and curator of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. His first book, 18 TINY DEATHS, was released in 2020 and outlines the extraordinary story of Frances Glessner Lee, an independently wealthy matriarch who revolutionized the field of forensic death investigation and who is well known for her crime scene dioramas recreated in minute detail. Goldfarb's second book, OCME, Life in America's Top Forensic Medical Center, details the precarious state of forensic death investigation, which in many parts of the country is failing to provide essential public health services to the public. Originally aired on: Nov 16, 2023

Frances Glessner Lee was the mother of modern forensic medicine; as an heiress and socialite, she might have been expected by her peers to live a staid, placid life. Her immersion into the gory and sometimes alarming world of post-mortem medical work led to remarkable scientific advancement in the field. Working on the famous "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death" - realistic miniature dioramas of crime scenes for training purposes - made her a household name, but her diligence in outreach and research made her irreplaceable.

Dzięki książce przyglądamy się B jak biografii Lee niczym precyzyjnej makiecie modelarskiej i badamy każdy S jak szczegół. Tworzy się opowieść o wielkiej osobowości, która dorastała w konserwatywnym świecie chicagowskich elit. Jest D jak dzieciństwo i D jak diorama w skali 1:12.

Z bohaterką odcinka związana jest Z jak zmiana: na Harvardzie, w popkulturze, literaturze gatunkowej, kinematografii, w prawie oraz społecznym rozumieniu K jak koronera i L jak lekarza sądowego.Na koniec docieramy do C jak celu, na którym zależało Lee: obronie N jak niewinnych.Partnerem tego odcinka jest Audioteka- dobrze opowiedziane historie.

Do you think you could solve a murder just by looking at a miniature re-creation of the crime scene? Frances Glessner Lee thought so. The Chicago heiress is known as the “mother of forensic science” for developing the tool that taught law enforcement how to investigate the scenes of unexplained deaths. The historic Glessner House in South Loop, where Lee's family lived from 1887–1937, now has a life-sized version of one of her miniatures on display, free to view on Fridays and Saturdays through April 14. Producer Simone Alicea visited Glessner House last year and talked with executive director Bill Tyre. This conversation was originally published March 24, 2022. Good News: C2E2 is March 31–April 2!

Krys skips the spooky stuff this year but makes Tori squee with the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. These were teaching tools made by Frances Glessner Lee to teach forensics. This lady was the shit and the Patron Saint of Policemen or the Mother of Forensics. The Nutshells debuted in 1943 and were saved by a former student. These helped investigators get it right for once. Tori tells the story of the rope swing and how we have a weird tie to a serial killer. Fox Hollow Farm and the tale of Herb Baumeister, the suspected I-70 killer. This man picked up gay men in Indianapolis and brought them to our next of the woods in Carmel. This house confused the fuck out of me, but it had a pool in the basement. He was caught due to his becoming scared of his behavior and agreeing to a search of the property. 11 sets of remains were identified and found on the property. Unfortunately Herb escaped and killed himself in Ontario. FYI, you want ghosts…the house is haunted.  Krys continues with the Gruenwald Historic House in Anderson, IN. This living history museum is on a Delaware Tribal Burial Ground.

Frances Glessner Lee was from one of early Chicago's most prominent families, living on one of the cities wealthiest blocks — Prairie Avenue, now a historic neighborhood in the South Loop. She also basically created forensic science. Lee created miniature death scenes that would help police better investigate crimes by considering all the different scenarios that could happen. And to say these recreations were detailed is an understatement. Lee would dress the corpses. The doorknobs and the keys for the doors actually worked. There was a tiny little mouse trap, and if a tiny little mouse had stepped on it, it would have actually gone off. In an unusual move for the time, Lee's parents educated her and her brother in the same way, preparing her to work in a male-dominated field. City Cast's Simone Alicea learns more about Frances Glessner Lee from Glessner House executive director Bill Tyre ahead of a celebration of the mother of forensic science. Friday's celebration is sold out. But you can book tours at the Glessner House, where a recreation of one of Lee's models will now be available to see.

S01E01: Mother of Forensic Science Frances Glessner Lee's Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and Miyu Kojima's Miniature Replicas of Lonely Deaths. In this very first official episode of the Bones & Bobbins Podcast, Haley and Natali discuss Miyu Kojima and Frances Glessner Lee--two women, worlds and decades apart, who combined craft and death in their own amazing way. One would process death and create an act of public service for the living, the other would birth Forensic Science as we know it today.
