Bella in the Wych-Elm
April 1943. Four boys were exploring the woods near Wychbury Hill, England, when one climbed a wych hazel in search of birds’ nests. Inside the hollow trunk he found a human skull, hair and teeth. Investigations found a nearly complete skeleton, a shoe and some clothing. A human hand was found buried nearby. A pathologist determined that it was a woman and she’d been asphyxiated, her mouth stuffed with taffeta. Her body was still warm when it was entombed in the tree, two years earlier in 1941. The identities of the woman and her killer are still unknown. She is called Bella in the Wych-Elm
