- Summary:
- FRANCES GLESSNER LEE made a career out of constructing beautiful dollhouses...that were actually blood-spattered murder scenes. Her fascination with true crime started young; she wanted to become a doctor but the oppressive rule of her family forced her into crafting and antiques. Thankfully, her lifelong fascination with forensic science finally coalesced at age 50, when Frances inherited her family fortune and used that, along with her connections to the police, to teach law enforcement how to understand crime scenes through her artistic dioramas. She was the first woman to join the Police Association, was named Police Captain of the New Hampshire State Police at 64 and is known today as the Godmother of Forensics Science.
