Happy Birthday Frances Glessner Lee!

Happy Birthday, Frances Glessner Lee! (March 25, 1878 - January 27, 1962)

Some call her the Mother of Forensics but I prefer the Patron Saint of Forensics.

She changed the world of criminology with her Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and so much more. 

My documentary filmmaking team and I are working on getting her story out this year. I've been working hard on a new edit of Murder in a Nutshell: The Frances Glessner Lee Story. It's a bit different than the rough cut that screened at the Smithsonian American Art Museum

To honor Frances on her birthday, I recommend that you make something miniature, or solve a murder or watch our first documentary film on her Of Dolls & Murder
