Comments on: Origins of CSI http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/02/27/origins-of-csi/ Yesterday's tomorrow, today. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:15:36 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Susan Marks http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/02/27/origins-of-csi/comment-page-1/#comment-1059270 Susan Marks Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:06:38 +0000 http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/02/27/origins-of-csi/#comment-1059270 Thanks for digging up this article! I'm making a documentary film about those Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. If anyone knows anyone who has archival footage, home movies, photos from back in the day - I would love to hear about it. (I tried Harvard, but to no avail) I also need imagery of the creator, Francis Glessner Lee. She has a family museum in Chicago, but they only have a few photos of "Fannie". The Nutshells (dollhouses of death) are now at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Maryland. They are private, so the public is not invited to view them. However, they are still used for training, so you can view them if you are a homicide detective in HAPS training. But they will be in my film, so you can see them in all the color glory within a year. If want to know more about my film, feel free to visit my website: www.wildestdreamsmovie.com. I would love to hear from you. Thanks for digging up this article!

Your article brought back so many memories and remembering the stories he told me as a child as I looked into those boxes Mrs Lee had made. She was quite a woman her family owned one of the famous farm equipment companies, Catapillar or John Deere maybe. I remember how she took everyone to the Ritz Carlton for dinner once a year and mom would talk about eating turtle soup. Dad retired from Harvard at 65 went to BU to work there and died of an annuryism a couple years later. I don't know if you met Vera Algeri while you were there, she worked as a Bio Chemist, my mom died at the age of 50 and dad married Vera who is still living in Waltham, Ma. Oh such a joy your article was for me, I will send the site to my sisters and brother. Thank you so much for the memories. i just happened to look up Dr. Ford to see what I might find, My dad was Mr Glass, his first name was Parker.

He had an affair with her and told her it couldn't continue. She went into hysterics. He left the motel room. 40 minutes later, ambulance called to motel room. She had slit wrists and a partially slit throat. She accused him of doing it. We believe it was an attempt suicide by the girl. We are trying to find someone who could look at the injuries and determine whether self inflicted or consistent with an assailant. Unfortunately we are in Australia - you might not be able to help. YOur input would be appreciated. I have a client charged with attempt murder of a female. He had an affair with her and told her it couldn’t continue. She went into hysterics.
