Crime frozen in time

This Story takes a look at St. Louis Police Library. Up the stairs on the second floor of the St. Louis Police Academy, there’s an unusual version of law and order on display. Strange objects and images, little-seen bits of local crime history, a mural called Christ in Cell No. 8, snippets of rope used to hang convicts.

You’ll also see vintage uniforms, shotguns, pistols and a picture of two bodies on a morgue slab.
