Just some crime scene photos and drawings I've come across.

From the Crippen case:

and some photographs of the Houndsditch Murders:

and the discovery of one of the suspects as depicted by 'The Illustrated Police News' 24 December 1910

I agree. Very creepy and cool. I love the shot of the guy with the waistcoat, done up tie and watch chain holding a shovel. I am doubtful how much shoveling he actually did despite the artfully rolled up sleeves.

Your probably right Ally.
Kinda like a modern day group of utility company workers. The new guy digging and the other dozen standing around holding shovels so they don't get lost.
