Description
Without a medical degree, Frances, at the age of 53, changed the course of crime scene investigation and forensic pathology in the United States.
She was a pioneer in standardizing the methods used in assessing clues of a crime, training police investigators for decades and creating what we now know as Homicide Detectives.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the whole story of Frances and how she contributed to improving a very dysfunctional process of "death investigation" of the early 20th century.
