Agnes Lesser is a reference to real-life Frances Glessner Lee, an American heiress who built dollhouse dioramas of actual crimes to be used as teaching tools for forensic investigators. She dedicated her fortune to establishing the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard, the first of its kind in North America. She is considered the "mother of forensic science".
