In honor of the new crime thriller video game L.A. Noire soon-to-be-released on PS3 and Xbox 360, the Los Angeles Times and Rockstar Games have launched a special archive edition Crime Map detailing some notorious, terrifying and fascinating crimes that made 1947 a landmark year for LAPD detectives. Check out scans of original stories from the paper overlaid on an interactive map detailing the location of the crime. Headlines ranging from Homemade Gun Works, Police Say as Man Held and Burglars Turn Acrobats to Get Milk and $2500 transport the user back in time to the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles.
