    13:11 Wait, if the theory is that you can trap a witch in a hollow tree, then wouldn't it make more sense that 'Bella' was murdered by someone who suspected *her* of witchcraft, rather than by someone doing witchcraft themselves? As we can tell from the theorists, there were clearly people around who were afraid witches might be out to sacrifice them, so maybe one of those people thought that of Bella and killed her for it. Historically, it does seem like more people have been killed on suspicion of witchcraft than by witches.

    I think it's kind of strange that they completely discounted the idea of her getting into the tree herself. People in distress will do incredible things, and if she had been trying to escape from someone, or tried to hide during the air raids, or simply been on drugs, it's very possible that she tried to get into the tree and then either got stuck or accidentally suffocated herself while trying to stay silent. It's maybe not the most likely possibility, but perhaps more likely than the witch theory by a random egyptologist

    I actually do know what I'd do if I discovered human remains bc when I was a teenager my family was out at my stepmother's family cabin. My younger sister and I were out exploring in the woods when we stumbled upon a ribcage attached to some spine. There was just enough... meat for lack of a better word, to keep its shape.
    We gasped, and quietly but quickly left the area and told our Father right away. He asked us to take him to where we'd found the bones.
    Turns out it was just a deer rib cage, no doubt left there by some predator (probably why there was only a part of it and not the whole skeleton lol), but our dad told us that we still did the right thing in telling him right away and that if ever we see something or something happens or whatever again to not be afraid to tell him.

      Something similar happened to me when I was younger. I was walking in a snowy field and noticed my dogs were licking something under the snow. I looked and it was a pink and white goat hoof with the rest of the leg hidden under the snow. I freaked out and ran and got my mom, but when I showed her where it was, there was nothing. We scoured every mark in the snow but found nothing. The dogs didn’t find it again either. I looked again when the snow melted, but again nothing. Very distinctive memory.

We see this with museums a lot, like you stated with the Smithsonian, they keep so many items on hand, but sometimes they aren't labeled properly or there are just too many items and things get misplaced. Seems like getting some interns with serious supervision together to sift through everything might actually help.

    The creepiest thing is that, 75 years afterwards, they used old pictures of the skull to recreate a face of what Bella could have look like. People asked why they didn’t just took more clear pictures of the skull to reconstruct the face? Is would have being much easier to take new pictures rather then using old one.
    The police then declared that they couldn’t do that for the simple reason then the skull the boys found 75 years before, had simply disappeared.

    Fun sidefact: most bones do not stay together when picked up after the body decomposed (i am sure most people are aware of that) because what keeps them together are muscles and sinews. This is actually how archaeolgoists determine if a body was buried somewhere before decomposing or afterwards: there is a certain bone in your body (the Hyoid Bone, also called the Floating Bone by archaeologists!) that do not connect to any other bone (which means they "float free") and thus, once the muscles and sinews are gone, tend to get lost when picked up. So if you find an entire skeleton but not the Hyoid Bone, the assumption is generally that the body was moved there after decomposing.
    Of course, this approach would not work here because the bones were also moved by the wildlife, so this is just a side tidbit I had to think of as Ryan and Shane were discussing if bones stick together.

    Can we talk about the fact that her SKULL (along with the shoe and I think some other items but no other bones) were found in the elm tree is depended on way too much in each theory? They already mentioned that they found the other bones in different places, possibly by animals and critters. So why is it everyone immediately went "her body was stuffed in the tree" when isnt it WAY more possible her SKULL and other things were just dragged by a critter or animal who deemed that a good home/hiding spot??? I honestly don't believe that she was put in the witch elm if there was literally no other evidence then the fact they found her skull but no other body parts in it, it seems more plausible she was killed somewhere else in the forest and that is just where the skull happened to end up. Of course there's still a possibility she was stuck into the tree, but I wish it wasn't made complete fact.

      As someone originally from near Hagley Wood, it is very unlikely for a body to lay out in that forest for 18 months without being found. Is it like somewhere people go all the time? No, but people go about it often and for her to have been out there for a prolonged period of time, long enough to skeletonise, without her being found, her body would HAVE to be concealed. Similarly, the taffeta stuffed in her mouth would likely have been taken out of nesting animals had moved the bones around, since this would’ve been something useful for it. It’s far more likely that her body was concealed in the tree at some point, given the circumstances.

    Maybe Clara (tree lady) parachuted into the woods and idk, maybe either got stuck in a tree on the way down or was killed by another spy.
    Or maybe the woman in the tree wasn’t even Clara, but a Dutch immigrant who was killed by people who thought she was a spy.

      Well, to be fair when a body is mostly but not entirely decomposed, the tendons that connect the bones are nearly the last to go, so some (though i'd imagine not all) bones would still be somewhat connected. As for hair coming from the skull, well, hair can be connected to not yet decomposed pieces of skin that are on the skull but uhh.... yeah no it doesn't come from the skull.

      I think it speaks to the fact that he reads up on so many cases of crime. Often hair is found on the skull when everything else has rotted. He's alluding to the fact that skin will decompose faster that skin because hair is made of keratin and doesn't rot like skin does.

    Hi, this is interesting to me as I live a bus ride away from Poor Bella was shoved in the wych elm. Word round here is she was murdered by an American soldier when she revealed she was pregnant, and then stuffed in a tree.
    Later on it was blamed on witches, just because of the name of the tree.
    What I really wanted to set right though is that little boys after WW2 didn't gather birds eggs to eat- at the time it was a craze for little bastards to 'collect' birds eggs as a hobby. After the war, and during, hen's eggs were aplenty, I don't know if you know this but every time a bomb went off, every hen laid 6 eggs.
    I really enjoy your series, I like to cover up the top part of Shane's head and just watch his lips moving.
