S3E116 - Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm

In 1943, the skeletal remains of an unidentified woman were discovered inside a hollow wych elm tree in Hagley Wood, Worcestershire. The victim came to be known as "Bella." The circumstances surrounding her death and the identity of the perpetrator remain elusive. Mysterious graffiti messages appeared in the area, suggesting someone knew more about the crime, but the case has never been solved. The eerie nature of the discovery, coupled with the lack of resolution, has fueled speculation and intrigue, making the Bella in the Wych Elm mystery one of the most haunting and enduring unsolved crimes in British history. ----------------- Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.
