Sorry, guys, but please help me find something... The excellent article posted at MeFi about the woman who was something like the "first lady" of forensic investigation in the U.S.? She made tiny, incredibly accurate doll-house-size reproductions of the scenes of the crimes? It was a fascinating story, but I can't find it by searching tags "forensic"/"forensics" at mefi, or by any of my early desultory google searches, and I don't want to spend a lot more time looking. Anybody have it bookmarked?

Oh, sure, Taz. Your question's not embarrassing enough to anonymously post to AskMe, so you run over here!

Your answer is Frances Glessner Lee, BTW.

Ah, perfect! Thank you, Answer Angels!

yeaah - I figured we could double up here on some of those less important 'impulse questions'. Pourquoi pas?

In this case, I spent quite some time talking aobut this story with Mr. taz at lunch today, and promised to find him the web links, but then was disappointed that they didn't immediately jump from my lips to the Google god's ear.

But I knew someone here would have it at their fingertips. You do not disappoint.

Someone needs to pick up where Ms. Lee left off. I think it would be cool if these women decided to go into cold case crime scene knitting.

That's amazing, iconomy. Yes it would be lovely if "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" could be aided by "CCSI: Crocheted/Knitted Crime Scene Interpretation".
