Of this murder inspired graffiti 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: that continues to appear today with variations on the question 6 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: who put Bella in the witch Ell? An update that 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't actually think has made it into an installment 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: of Unearthed in Professor Caroline Wilkinson and Sarah Shrimpton from 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: Face Lab Liverpool, John Warris University used photos of the 10 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: skeletal remains of this person who has become known as 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: Bella to create a reconstruction of what she may have 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: looked like. That reconstruction has appeared in various books and 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: TV shows, but the mystery of what happened to this 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: person remains unsolved. So enjoy this story. Welcome to Stuff 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: You Missed in History Class, a production of I Heart Radio. Hello, 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: and welcome to the podcast. I'm Holly Fry and I'm 17 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Tray Wilson. And it's Halloween, Tracy Paray. It's the best 18 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: day of the year. Uh And today to celebrate Halloween, 19 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about a history mystery. It's got everything. 20 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: It's got a mystery, a mystery body, it's got witches, 21 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: it's got espionage, it's got everything, and it's never been solved. 22 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: Though as we get to the end of the episode, 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into some interesting math that tries to 24 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: sort out the situation. But I don't want to spoil 25 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: any of that, so let's just hop right in. So 26 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: in the nineteen four Days, a grizzly discovery was made 27 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: in a tree in Worcestershire, England, on April eighteenth of 28 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: ninety four teenage boys were looking for birds nests and 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: they sent the best climber up an elm tree. In 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: the hollow of the tree, he did not find a 31 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: bird's nest. He found a skull. Initially he thought it 32 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: might be an animal skull, but when he pulled it 33 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: from its place in the tree, he realized no, it 34 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: was a human skull. And there was also a little 35 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: bit of decomposing flesh still attached to the skull, as 36 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: well as a patch of hair, and this skull had 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: distinctive teeth, they were crooked, and there was sort of 38 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: what looked what looks a pictures like almost a pronounced overbite, 39 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: but also some lower jaw um deformation. The boys, whose 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: names were Robert Hart, Thomas Willett's, Bob Farmer, and Fred Payne, 41 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: were terrified. They were also really worried that they were 42 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: going to get in trouble because they had been trespassing 43 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: in Hagley Woods. This estate, which was near Birmingham, was private. 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: They had no permission to be in there looking for nests. 45 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: They had also been hunting rabbits, so they'd basically been poaching, 46 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: and they had been doing all of that that day 47 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: with no permission. So the boys promised each other that 48 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: they would keep it a secret. They put the skull 49 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: back in its spot in the tree and then they left. 50 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: But the youngest boy of that group, Tommy Willitts, did 51 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: not in fact keep their secret. He was really deeply 52 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: upset by the discovery, and he eventually confessed his troubles 53 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: to his father, and his father immediately contacted police, and 54 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: of course an investigation began. When the police examined this 55 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: elm tree, they found not only the skull, but also 56 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: additional remains, including the majority of the skeleton. There were 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: also pieces of clothing, a wedding band and a single 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: shoe with a crape sole. The skeletal remains of one 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: of the body's hands were also found buried near the tree. 60 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: Examination of the remains by a pathologist concluded that the 61 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: skeleton was a woman who had been between thirty five 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: and forty when she died. She was five ft or 63 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: one point five meters tall, brunette, and had probably given 64 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: birth at some point. Another man involved in the investigation 65 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: was forensic biologist Dr John Lund, who, at the age 66 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: of one hundred and one, told the BBC radio show 67 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Punt p I about his examination of the remains. That 68 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: interview happened in twenty fifteen, so he had been working 69 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: under James Webster at the West Midlands Forensic Science Laboratory 70 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: and he kept notes on the case. The body arrived 71 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: at his lab on April, two days after it had 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: been discovered. The bones had absolutely no remaining flesh. The 73 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: hair that was attached to the skull was quite fragile, 74 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: but he determined that it had not been chemically treated 75 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: with color or any kind of curling solution, and the woman, 76 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: Webster in Land concluded had been asphyxiated by a piece 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: of tafoda that had been shoved in her throat. Additionally, 78 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: it was believed that the body had been hidden in 79 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: the tree while it was still warm, feet first, and 80 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: that it had been there for about a year and 81 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: a half, placing her death somewhere around October of nineteen 82 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: forty one. Efforts started immediately to try to identify what 83 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: appeared to be the victim of a murder. Missing persons 84 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: reports were called through for anybody who might line up 85 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: with this mystery discovery. There were detailed descriptions of what 86 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: she had probably been wearing based on what Webster had 87 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: been able to extrapolate from this shoe and the clothing 88 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: remains that had been collected. That there was a whole 89 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: reference through the dental records with dentists from all around 90 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: Great Britain, but because of the war, missing persons records 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: were something of a mess at this point, but even so, 92 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: all known listings were reviewed for a possible connection, literally 93 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of records, but nothing matched. No results 94 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: with dental dental records either. Despite the fact that she 95 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: had some unique features, including that jaw deformity and a 96 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: recently pulled tooth that had been pulled shortly before she 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: had died, and they really cast a wide net by 98 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: placing this information in dental journals, hoping that they would 99 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: find a dentist that recognize any of this information. But 100 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: the case went cold. A small clue finally came from 101 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: a man who had been working in management in one 102 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: of the area's industrial companies. He had reported to police 103 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: in July ninety one he was walking to his home 104 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: near Hagleywood and he heard a scream. Another person, a teacher, 105 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: who was also on a path but coming in the 106 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: opposite direction, had confirmed that he too had heard this screaming, 107 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: and police were called to the scene at the time 108 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: that these two men heard the scream, which would have 109 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: been close enough to the October death estimate to have 110 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: been a possible connection to the murder. But police in 111 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: nineteen forty one found nothing where the two men had 112 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: heard the woman screaming, and they found nothing when they 113 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: revisited the scene in nineteen forty three after reviewing that 114 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: ninety one report. Just as the case seemed to be 115 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: running entirely cold, in December of nineteen forty three, odd 116 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: graffiti started popping up in the area. Scrawled in various 117 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: places were the words who put Bella down the witch elm? 118 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: There were actually a lot of variant variations on the phrase, 119 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: including who put Luebella down the witch elm? And who 120 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: put Bella in the witch elm? There were also some 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: more instances of graffiti that's strayed from this question format 122 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: and said things more like hagleywood Bella. And as a 123 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: point of note, as we say this, we're not saying 124 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: which here, uh in the sense you might be thinking, 125 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 1: what with this being Halloween, when we say witch elm, 126 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: the spelling is w y c H. That's a tree 127 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: also known as a Scotts elm. However, uh, In several 128 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: things that I read, there were people that were adamant 129 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: that this was in fact not a witch elm, but 130 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: another type of elm that's often mistaken for one. Just 131 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: wanted to include that in the interest of horticultural history 132 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: and to clarify that it is not which is in 133 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the halloween e sense at this point it is creepy though, Yeah, 134 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: even without that spelling difference, still creepy. These graffiti messages 135 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: appeared to be the work of a single person. They 136 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: were all written in the same type of chalk and 137 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: block letters, uh, And it was considered that they maybe 138 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: were just somebody trying to play a prank, But there 139 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: had been no leads in the case that had actually 140 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: panned out up to that point. So these bizarre missives 141 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: opened up two new lines of investigation. Number one, was 142 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: there really someone named Bella who might be involved in 143 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: this body that had been found in Hagley Woods? And 144 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: number two, who was the artist behind the graffiti? And 145 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: did they actually know something about the murder? But nothing, 146 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: not the name Bella, not the dental records, not the 147 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: hunt for the graffiti artists, seemed to lead to any 148 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: actual information. This woman seemed to be entirely untraceable, and 149 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: as the months dragged into years, all kinds of other 150 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: theories started to pop up about the identity of this 151 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: woman in the tree. And before we get to those 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: theories that started popping up in an effort to explain 153 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: the skeleton in Hagley Woods, let's take a brief break 154 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: and we'll how of a word from one of our sponsors. 155 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: So we promised you a little witchiness at the beginning, 156 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: in the actual which sense, not in the W Y 157 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: C H three sense. So we're getting there, Professor Margaret 158 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: Murray of University College London, who was an anthropologist, egyptologist, 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: archaeologist and folklorist, put forth the theory that Bella, as 160 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: she had at that point become known thanks to that graffiti, 161 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: had been the victim of a ritualistic occult murder. Murray's 162 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: evidence to support this theory was the fact that the 163 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: handbones had been found away from the body, and she 164 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: believed that the ceremony that had claimed Bella's life, which 165 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: is one which is called the hand of glory in 166 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: which the hand cut from the victim could be used 167 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: for divining or protection as part of the practice of witchcraft. 168 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: And the sensational nature of this idea really took hold 169 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: in both the press and the public imagination surminds me 170 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: of the satanic ritual abuse panic. It is absolutely the 171 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: same thing that that was not really founded in reality. 172 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: So when another murder victim was discovered in a neighboring village, 173 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: this when a man who was pinned to the ground 174 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: with a pitchfork, people started linking the two deaths, even 175 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: though it had been two years between the two. Scotland Yard, 176 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: who was spurred on by Margaret Murray, started investigating this 177 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: witchcraft angle because there had been no other new leads 178 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: in the case, and as with all the other leads 179 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: got them nowhere had no real information that was gathered 180 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: as a result of Murray's theories. And as a side note, 181 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: While Margaret Murray was famous for a time in the 182 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: early twentieth century as an expert and I should put 183 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: that in the air quotes on witchcraft, most of her 184 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: writings on the subject were controversial at the time, and 185 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: they were eventually debunked and she was largely discredited. She's 186 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: actually on my short list for an episode all her own. 187 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: But she was basically kind of making stuff up. Yeah, 188 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: the first time I read through this outline, I got 189 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: to this description of her purported satanic not satanic, but 190 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: like her purported ritualistic occult murderer, and I was like, really, yeah, really, 191 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: actual anthropologist for real? Did you did you just make 192 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: this up? Like? What? Really? You know? She used logic 193 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: that made sense to her, but I don't know that 194 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: she was kind of fabricating these in an effort to 195 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: be um, to be misleading or sensationalist. I think she 196 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: might have believed them, but I will do more research 197 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: on her. Perhaps in the future. Maybe that will be 198 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: in October episode next year. I maybe can't wait till then, 199 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: But what's that's cool too then? So ten years after 200 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: that initial grizzly discovery in the tree, there was another 201 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: possibility that came to light. This time, a woman going 202 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: by the named Anna from Cleverley contacted the Press a letter. 203 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: She was responding to a series of articles that had 204 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: been written in nineteen fifty three about the murder, saying 205 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: she knew who had killed Bella. Anna's claim was that 206 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: Bella had in fact been part of an espionage play 207 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: gone wrong, and the letter read, finish your articles regarding 208 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: the witch Elm crime. By all means, they are interesting 209 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: to your readers, but you will never solve the mystery. 210 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: The one person who could give the answer is now 211 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: beyond the jurisdiction of earthly courts. Much as I hate 212 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: having to use a nomba plume, I think you would 213 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: appreciate it if you know me. The only clues I 214 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: can give you are that the person responsible for the 215 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: crime died insane in nineteen forty two, and that the 216 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: victim was Dutch and arrived illegally in England about nineteen 217 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: forty one. I have no wish to recall anymore. Anna's 218 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: story cast Bella as a Dutch woman who was passing 219 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: information from a British officer to a trapeze artist who 220 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: appeared in local theatrical product. That trapeze artist would then 221 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: pass that intel onto the Germans. Bella in the story 222 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: had become too knowledgeable about this chain of of information, 223 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: and she was killed because of that knowledge, and then 224 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: her body was taken to Hagleywood's where it was hidden 225 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: in the tree. Of course, this fleshing out of the 226 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: story passed. That initial letter came because uh, the police 227 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: got involved. Of course, once the press got this letter 228 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: h and they questioned her because the area around Worcestershire 229 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: was home to a number of munitions factories during World 230 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: War Two. It had been scrutinized by the Nazis for 231 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: information during the war. It had also been a target, 232 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: so authorities did pursue this new German spy ring angle 233 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: with some level of vigor. Some aspects of Anna's story 234 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: checked out. There had been a British man connected to 235 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: a German spy ring in the area, but he had 236 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: died in Stafford Mental Hospital in ninety two, and as 237 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: it turned out, that man was related to Anna. Anna's 238 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: real name was Una massip Una had, she told police, 239 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: been married to Jack Mossa and he had confessed the 240 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: murder to her before his death. It was her understanding 241 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: that he, along with a dutch Man named Van Raalt 242 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: who was also involved, meant to scare this woman by 243 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: leaving her in the tree when she was passed out 244 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: because she was inebriated. They did not actually intend to 245 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: kill her. Yeah. The idea was that she would wake 246 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: up stuck in this tree and see the error of 247 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: her ways and being foolish, uh, and would straighten up 248 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: an act right. The police were unable to locate this 249 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: Venrault character, and it appears that they sort of abandoned 250 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: the trail there. Years later, however, another woman named Judith 251 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: O'Donovan told police and investigators that she was Jack mossa 252 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: sort of distant cousin. I think her he might have 253 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: been her husband's cousin, and that their entire family basically 254 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: knew that Jack had been a trader and that he 255 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: had been connected to a woman's death. So it sort 256 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: of supported this spirring idea. Uh. And the fact that 257 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: he may have been connected to the woman in the 258 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: witch Holm. Another decade passed before another theory emerged, and 259 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: this one kind of combined the previous two notions. In 260 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, a book called Murder by Witchcraft was published, 261 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: written by David McCormick, and McCormick penned an explanatory narrative 262 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: in which the woman from the Tree had been a 263 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: Nazi spy named Clara Bella, who was also an occultists. 264 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: According to McCormick, who said that he had been able 265 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: to look at German intelligence reports that listed the woman 266 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: by her code name, she was called Clara. His assertion 267 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: was that the Bella and the graffiti was referencing Clara Bella. 268 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: McCormick's book indicated that Clara had been sent into the 269 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: County of West Midlands by parachute in nineteen forty one, 270 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: but that she was never heard from again. Of course, 271 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: these roads all proved to be fruitless, just like all 272 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: the others had in terms of churning up any real 273 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: information on the case at the time. Three full decades 274 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: after McCormick's book was least, the case of Bella's identity 275 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: once again gained attention, and at this time pieces the 276 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: puzzle started to come together in the minds of interested parties. 277 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: For one, when the case closed, which was actually in 278 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: two thousand five, h the case file was published and 279 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: in it there was a mention of a search for 280 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: Bella's body to be exhumed so that DNA evidence could 281 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: be gathered, because that would certainly be helpful. But that 282 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: search was for her body was unsuccessful. It turns out 283 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: that this failure to find her body was in part 284 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: because they had been looking in completely the wrong location. 285 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: It had been presumed that Bella had been buried locally, 286 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: but in fact her remains had gone to the University 287 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: of Birmingham, to a colleague of the original pathologist in 288 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: the case, for additional testing, and that was a detail 289 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: that had sort of been lost in the sixties, some 290 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: years since the case had been active before it was 291 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: closed in two thousand five, and unfortunately, the skeletal remains 292 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: disappeared from the university's records and their lab lost forever 293 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: to time. Any records from the University of Birmingham about 294 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: any testing that was done on those remains have also vanished. 295 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: This has led to some speculation of a cover up, 296 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: but it could also just be really terrible bookkeeping. Yeah, 297 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold out hope that one day it will 298 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: be one of those. Look what we found in our 299 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: own collection of human remains that nobody correctly. And the 300 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: thing to keep in mind too, um, and I know 301 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: this from my years working in the library, is that 302 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: there were things that happened during more time that really 303 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: messed up record keeping. You know. It wasn't necessarily that 304 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: people were lazy or trying to cover anything up. There 305 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: was just there were times when an air raid would 306 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: happen and everything would be shuffled around and stuff got lost. Yeah. Well, 307 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: and even if you are really careful, human beings still 308 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: make errors. And if you have a gigantic and are 309 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: still accurate, that's a bunch of errors. Anyway, coming up, 310 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about an m I five file 311 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: that might actually give some weight to the narrative is 312 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: that McCormick had had reconstructed. But first we're going to 313 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: take a quick break for a word from one of 314 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: our awesome sponsors. So another bit of information that also 315 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: shed light on this possibility that McCormick's theory had some 316 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: truth to it a declassified file in the British National 317 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: Archives on Gestapo agent Joseph Jacobs, who was an inexperienced, 318 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: undertrained agent that was sent to gather information on weather 319 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: patterns in the London area. Jacobs had parachuted into Cambridgeshire 320 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: in broken his ankle in the drop and was arrested 321 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: by the Home Guard, which was a World War two 322 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: defense organization that was part of the British Army. One 323 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: of the items that Jacobs was carrying when the Home 324 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,719 Speaker 1: Guard apprehended him was a photograph. That photo was a 325 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: picture of a woman named Clara Bowerley, a singer and 326 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: film actress that Jacob said was also his paramore. He 327 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: also told his caw apters that Clara Bowerley was a 328 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: Nazi secret agent and was supposed to parachute into West Midlands, 329 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: that the two of them were supposed to have made contact. 330 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: Jacobs was executed by firing squad in the late summer 331 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: of nineteen forty one, and this turned out to be 332 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: the last execution at the Tower of London. UH He 333 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: could also easily be an episode subject on his own. 334 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: These m I five records on Jacobs included an investigation 335 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: of Bauerley. She was born in nineteen o six, meaning 336 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: that in nineteen forty one she would have been thirty five, 337 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: which was the right age to pit the pathology report 338 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: of the witch Elm victim. And she did work in 339 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: music halls in the West Midland area for two years 340 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: before World War two began, and she learned to speak 341 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: English with no trace of a German accent. When the 342 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: woman who had been calling herself Anna contacted the police 343 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: in the nineteen fifties claiming to have knowledge of the crime, 344 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: she had mentioned a music hall in the information that 345 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: she gave to the police. And while this might seem 346 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: to tidily wrap up the identity of Bella quite nicely, 347 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: because the pieces do seem to fit together, uh, Joseph 348 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: Jacobs's granddaughter, who has long examined the details of her 349 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: grandfather's life, actually obtained a death certificate for Clara Bauerley, 350 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: indicating that in fact, she died in Berlin in December 351 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: ninety two of aronal poisoning. I eat not stuffed into 352 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: a tree in England. Of course, gossip turned up a 353 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: huge variety of other possibilities about Bella's identity. She might 354 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: have taken shelter in the tree during an air raid 355 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: and gotten stuck. She might have been murdered by a 356 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: lover and clumsily hidden in the tree. She may have 357 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: been a traveler or a romani who was killed out 358 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: of mere suspicion. And there was even a lead that, 359 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: at least in terms of plausibility, seems fairly valid. So 360 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: on April seven of nineteen forty four, a sex worker 361 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: from Birmingham told police that a woman that she knew 362 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: had gone missing on Hagley Road or in that area 363 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: three years earlier, and that woman's name was Bella. If 364 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: this information garnered follow up from the police, it does 365 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: not appear to have gotten much traction. Incidentally, this whole 366 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: graffiti of who put Bella in the witch Elm has 367 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: continued in the seven decades since the murder was discovered. 368 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: There's an obelisk in Hagley Park called the Witchbury Obelisk, 369 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: and it's been the most frequently tagged location since the 370 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies. Presumably at this point it's kids trying to 371 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: be spooky, and the spelling has changed from w y 372 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: c H to w i t c H. It's definitely 373 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: not somebody trying to communicate a kind of clue about 374 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: the unsolved murder case. At this point, it is like 375 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: was here but exactly, And it's very possible that it 376 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: never was anything that people pulling pranks, but we just 377 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: don't know, uh In. A statistical analysis of all of 378 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: the known data in the Hagleywood's murder was done by 379 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: researchers Norman Fenton and Martin Neil using Bayesian analysis, and 380 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: they determined umber of things. They they're actually in that 381 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: BBC radio piece that we mentioned earlier, but then they 382 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: also wrote a paper separately where they explained it all 383 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: and that thing is fabulous. Um, so it'll be in 384 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: the show notes. But the first thing that they determined 385 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,959 Speaker 1: is that there is a probability that the cause of 386 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: death was criminal. That one is the completely unsurprising correct. 387 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: There's a nine seven percent probability that Bella was not British, 388 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: less than two percent chance that she was Dutch, and 389 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: an eighteen percent chance that she was German. There is 390 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: a nine percent probability that Bella was still alive when 391 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: she was put in the tree. That's awful. That kind 392 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: of holds with that whole story that the men had 393 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: put her there to scare her, and that she had 394 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: somehow become stuck. There's a thirty three percent possibility that 395 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Jack Mossup was involved in her death and seven percent 396 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: that was some kind of intelligence service. In order to 397 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: increase that probability to a nine pcent chance that Massif 398 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: was involved, the researchers model would have required four additional 399 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: witnesses in addition to Una mass Up and his cousin Judith, 400 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: And there is a twenty five percent probability that Bella 401 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: was a spy and a six probability that she was 402 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: a prostitute. In their paper on this study, the researchers 403 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: were very clear that there are lots of variables that 404 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: could quit really quickly change the whole statistical picture. For example, 405 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: they're working under the assumption that police involved in the 406 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: investigation really did exhaust all the leads in each instance 407 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: where they felt like there was a dead end. If 408 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: they left a stone unturned here there, then the models 409 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: shifts significantly. Additionally, there's the credibility of various witnesses. Yeah, 410 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: if you um increase or decrease the credibility rating of 411 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: various witnesses, that model changes really quickly. As well. But 412 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: of course, all of those numbers do not settle this 413 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: crime conclusively, and Bella story remains a mystery, and considering 414 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: the age of the case, it is unlikely that this 415 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: murder will ever be solved unless, as Tracy mentioned earlier, 416 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: the remains UH or the University lab files suddenly turn up. 417 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 1: So that is our spooky unsolved mystery for Halloween. UH. 418 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: And we hope yours is safe and that you do 419 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: not end up in a tree stuff. Please don't mean 420 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: you can climb a tree safely if you want to 421 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: do that. I have never climbed a tree. Really. Yeah. Uh, 422 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: they're They're dirty and I'm scared. That's the bottom line. 423 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: My mother had very clear rules about how large the 424 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: branch could be for us to safely climb the tree, 425 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: and if we climbed up into branches that were narrower 426 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: than that, I think it had to be at least 427 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: as uh as big as our arm I can't remember 428 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: it was our armor leg there was a body part 429 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: that we had to compare before we put our weight 430 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: on any tree limb. Yeah, my mother, My mother is 431 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: very concerned with safety. I've had many friends through the 432 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: years who are big into tree climbing, and they always 433 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: look at me like I'm some sort of mutan when 434 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, I've never climbed a tree and I feel 435 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: no urge to change that. That's fine. Thanks so much 436 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: for joining us on this Saturday.
