FRANCES GLESSNER LEE, a Chicago heiress, provided for just about every creature comfort when she fashioned 19 dollhouse rooms during the 1940's. She stocked the larders with canned goods and placed half-peeled potatoes by the kitchen sink. Over a crib she pasted pink striped wallpaper.But you might not want your dolls to live there.
Miniature corpses — bitten, hanged, shot, stabbed and poisoned — are slumped everywhere. The furnishings show signs of struggles and dissolute lives; liquor bottles and chairs have been overturned; ashtrays overflow.
She did it to teach police how to look for and handle evidence at crime scenes. Early, early CSI.

Just a warning, NY Times is one of those places you have to register. Sorry 'bout that, but it is a fun read.
I think the "DVD's" post relates to a TV series of same name ;-)

Try several series. CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY.
It is a hugely popular set of TV series(es?)dramas here in the US. Whole premise is high-tech police investigation work done on mostly bizzare crimes.
You may have CSI in the States, but we in the UK used to have Dixon of Dock Green [nostalgiacentral.com]...

ello, ello whats going on 'ere then?
lol
He [Jack Warner - Dixon of Dock Green] finally retired in 1976.. [he] died five years later aged 85.
Whilst it may seem almost surreal today to consider any 80 year old man playing the role of a police sargeant, that's how popular and well loved he was - we the public just didn't want him to disappear from our screens and our lives. An institution almost but not quite forgotten...
