Investigations began to try a find the identity of the woman left in the tree. Eventually the trials began to go cold and they were left not know who she was or what happened. Until 6 months later when mysterious graffiti began to appear that read "Who put Bella in the wych elm" and named the unidentified victim for the very first time.
