Frances Glessner Lee: The Mother of Forensic Science
Imagine a dollhouse, but amongst the miniature furniture and doors, you find…a murder scene. Frances Glessner Lee- often referred to as the “Mother of Forensic Science” - created tiny crime scenes known as the Nutshell studies, to revolutionize the way detectives investigated real cases. In this episode, we uncover how a woman from Chicago’s elite society transformed her privilege and passion into a legacy that shaped modern forensic science.
