In late December 1943, a graffiti message, related to the mystery, appeared on a wall in Upper Dean Street, Birmingham, reading Who put Luebella down the wych elm – Hagley Wood. In addition, they contacted every dentist in the area since the dentistry was quite distinctive. They cross-referenced the details they had with reports of missing persons throughout the region, but none of them seemed to match the evidence. Police could tell from items found with the body what the woman had looked like, but with so many people reported missing during the Second World War, records were too numerous for a proper identification to take place. From the measurement of the trunk in which the body had been discovered, he also deduced that it must have been placed there "still warm" after the killing, as it could not have fitted once rigor mortis had taken hold. He quickly established that it was that of a female who had been dead for at least 18 months, placing time of death in or before October 1941 Webster also discovered a section of taffeta in her mouth, suggesting that she had died from suffocation. The body was sent for forensic examination by James Webster. After further investigation, the remains of a hand were found some distance from the tree. The skull was valuable evidence, in that it still had some tufts of hair and had a clear dental pattern, despite some missing teeth. When police checked the trunk of the tree they found an almost complete skeleton, with a shoe, a gold wedding ring, and some fragments of clothing. The skull of "Wych Elm Bella," as retrieved 18 April 1943 However, on returning home, the eldest of the boys, Willetts, felt uneasy about what he had witnessed and decided to report the find to his parents. ![]() As they were on the land illegally, Farmer put the skull back and all four boys returned home without mentioning their discovery to anybody. At first he believed it to be that of an animal, but after seeing human hair and teeth, he realised that he had found a human skull. As he climbed, he glanced down into the hollow trunk and discovered a skull. Thinking the location to be a particularly good place to search for birds' nests, Farmer attempted to climb the tree to investigate. On 18 April 1943, four local boys (Robert Hart, Thomas Willetts, Bob Farmer and Fred Payne) were poaching or bird–nesting in Hagley Wood, part of the Hagley estate belonging to Lord Cobham near Wychbury Hill when they came across a large wych elm. The victim-whose murder is estimated to have occurred in 1941-remains unidentified, and the current location of her skeleton and autopsy report is unknown. " Who put Bella down the Wych Elm?" is graffiti that appeared in 1944 following the 1943 discovery by four children of the skeletonised remains of a woman inside a wych elm in Hagley Wood, Hagley (located in the estate of Hagley Hall), in Worcestershire, England. The original 1944 graffiti, written on a wall in Birmingham, was worded and spelled slightly differently. Before too long, the Crab should get caught in the Trap and drop its Claw.Modern graffiti on the Wychbury Obelisk. Once you track down a Crab, set a Crab Trap nearby. There should be quite a few Crabs skittering around the beach, but if you need more, they’ll sometimes appear when you dig up the Sandy Mounds in the area as well.

Just head south out of the Village and into the Graveyard. The Grave Bone is the simplest of the components to acquire. When a Pickpocket touches it they’ll be stunned and drop a Glove or two. To get their gloves you’ll need a Shiny Lure, which you set up like any other trap. Pickpocket’s Gloves can be found on the Pickpockets in the Village. If you don’t already have a Pluckpocket, you can craft one with a Pickpocket’s Glove, a Grave Bone, and a Crab Claw. To do this you’ll need a Pluckpocket, and you’ll need to use it specifically on the Fisher People in the Docks. Your only option then, is to pick the Seashells directly from their pockets. The Fisher People of the Docks are too quick, and have already gathered them all for themselves. Surprisingly, you can’t simply use your Trowel to dig them up on the beach in the Docks. They’re required for use in some of your recipes, but just as importantly, you’ll need them to get access to the Ship during the Fish storyline. Seashells are a particularly valuable ingredient in Wytchwood.
