Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? This is a question that has been asked for nearly eighty years, and one that may never be answered. This week, Kayley presents a case surrounding an unknown woman whose bones were found inside a hollow wych elm tree in April 1942. While this case is unsolved, there are several prevalent theories that remain. Who is "Bella"? How did she come to be in an old hollow tree? While we may never know the answer to these question, perhaps somewhere out there, someone does.
