Description:
Before DNA and advanced forensic science, there were the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death – intricate miniature crime scenes created in the 1930s and 1940s by Frances Glessner Lee. Designed to sharpen homicide detectives' skills, these unsettling dollhouses depict disturbing domestic settings with doll figures representing murder victims or victims of suspected murder. Even with modern forensic techniques, the Nutshells remain a valuable training tool for detectives. The documentary *Of Dolls and Murder* examines these dioramas, the woman who made them, and their connection to contemporary forensics. Legendary filmmaker John Waters narrates the fascinating world of these tiny crime scenes, from the *CSI* television series to forensic science programs and criminal justice students.
