Death in Miniature , Death in Diorama - articles about Frances Glessner Lee. In the 1940's this miniature hobbyist constructed a series of crime scene dioramas, which she called The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, that were used to teach forensic scientists, the medical community and law enforcement the fine 'art' of detail and observation! Scaled murder scenes are precise and amazing. Some say she was the inspiration for the character Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote.

Murder in Green and Gold - by Monica G. from Dover, DE
My 'sleeping' lady had a phone cord wrapped around her neck. Her date, Archie (Goodwin - of Nero Wolf fame) discovers her as he comes to pick her up for their night of dancing. Scattered around the room are six clues to help him figure out who did her in! I had a lot of fun with this one, although it took me 3 tries to get Archie's tuxedo to fit right!

Francis Gressner Lee - She built a series of dioramas, each highly detailed 1:12 scale crime scene replicas and the "Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death". Not only did she revolutionize the study of crime scene investigation, but also founded Harvard's department of legal medicine, the first program in the nation for forensic pathology. Through her keen eye and hard work she changed the course of investigations of crime scenes way back in the 30's and 40's. Frances' work is still used as teaching aids to crime investigators
It is her work and creations that so many modern day crime shows are based on. Spend a few minutes reading her life story. (keep in mind her crime scenes are all based true to fact and might not be suitable viewing for some people - definitely not for children).
