It’s hard to fathom the grief felt from the parents when a child goes missing. In 1964, the Westerfield family felt this sorrow double hard when both of their sons went missing.

Terry, 11, and Alan, 7, were brothers and best friends, The boys lived with their mother, Margie, who worked as a beautician. She and the boy’s father had divorced and she had since remarried a man called Carl Bock.

It was the 12th of September, 1964, and hurricane Dora was tearing through Georgia, making its way to Cumberland County, North Carolina, where the brothers lived. Margie was at work that afternoon. Carl had arrived at the family's home at 11AM that morning to spend the day there.

In the late morning, both of the brothers were outside playing with neighbourhood kids before they retuned home. Afterwards, when their friends knocked on the door asking if Alan could come out and play, Carl told them he was in his bedroom as a punishment. Terry was last seen on his bicycle outside at around 1PM.

At approximately 4PM, a neighbour saw Carl leave the house. He later told police he had dropped the boys off a Broadway Theatre to see a new movie, adding that he arranged to pick them up at 8PM. Alan and Terry were regulars at the theatre; some workers reported that they saw them that evening while others were adamant that they were not there.

When Margie returned from work that evening, Carl told her that her sons were at the theatre and she went out with a friend for the evening. When Carl went to pick them up at the assigned time, the brothers were nowhere to be found. He said he assumed that Margie had collected them but when she returned late at night, she didn’t have the boys with her.

A massive search for the boys was launched but it was unfruitful. Their uncle, John McDougald, was adamant that Carl was somehow involved in the disappearance. Carl was an ex-military policeman and John, among others, believed that the cops helped him cover up the disappearance. Margie and Carl later divorced and she too considers him to be involved somehow. Carl was shipped overseas a year after their disappearance.

Alan and Terry haven’t been seen or heard from since the day they disappeared.

being in a small fandom is like being given a bone, chewing on it until you're done with it, burying it in your backyard, and then digging that same chewed up bone months later to continue chewing on it, and then the cycle just repeats.this is especially true for small fandoms that you know won't be getting any new content, so you just have to consume the content you've already consumed thousands of times before.

COLD CASE (4x24) — “stalker”

“ i'm here for you. anything. you know that. ”

[morbidology]

The haunting question "Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?" has perplexed and fascinated the public since 1943, when the skeletal remains of an unidentified woman were discovered inside a hollow tree in Hagley Wood, Worcestershire, England.

On April 18, 1943, four young boys—Bob Farmer, Fred Payne, Thomas Willetts, and Bob Hart—were exploring Hagley Wood, part of the Hagley Hall estate owned by Lord Cobham. In the course of their exploration, the boys came across a large wych elm tree. Curiosity led one of them to peer inside the hollow trunk, where he discovered what appeared to be a human skull, complete with some strands of hair and teeth.

Frightened by their grisly find, the boys initially kept the discovery to themselves, fearing they would get into trouble for trespassing. However, the secret proved too heavy to bear, and one of the boys eventually confided in his parents, who contacted the police.

When authorities arrived at the scene, they retrieved the nearly complete skeleton of a woman, along with fragments of clothing, a shoe, and a gold wedding ring. The woman’s right hand was missing, later found buried nearby. The skeletal remains were sent to Professor James Webster, a forensic pathologist, who estimated that the woman had been dead for about 18 months, placing her death around October 1941.

Professor Webster's examination revealed that the woman was around 35 years old, 5 feet tall, with irregular teeth, including a distinctive dental feature—a missing front tooth. He suggested that she had been dead for approximately 18 months before her discovery and that she had likely been placed in the tree shortly after her death, as the small hollow would have made it difficult to fit her body after rigor mortis had set in.

The cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation, possibly due to being suffocated or strangled, although the exact circumstances remained unclear. Despite extensive investigations, the police were unable to identify the woman. Missing person reports were checked, dental records were examined, but no match was found.

The case took an strange turn in late 1943, when graffiti began appearing in the West Midlands area. The first message, written in chalk on a wall in Upper Dean Street, Birmingham, read: "Who put Luebella down the wych-elm?" Subsequent messages shortened and refined the name to "Bella," and variations of the phrase "Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?" began appearing on walls and buildings across the region.

The identity of the graffiti artist remains unknown, but the messages suggested that someone knew more about the woman’s identity or her fate than they had revealed.

Over the years, numerous theories have emerged regarding the identity of "Bella" and the circumstances of her death. Some of the most prominent theories include:

Witchcraft: One theory suggests that Bella may have been killed as part of a black magic ritual. The removal of her hand, a practice known as the "Hand of Glory" in folklore, lent some credence to this idea. The Hand of Glory was believed to possess magical powers, often associated with witchcraft and sorcery. However, there is little concrete evidence to support this theory.

Espionage: Another theory posits that Bella was a spy during World War II. This idea gained traction in the 1950s, when Margaret Murray, an anthropologist and archaeologist, suggested that Bella could have been involved in espionage, possibly as a Nazi spy. Some speculated that she might have been a German cabaret singer and spy named Clara Bauerle, who had parachuted into the area during the war and was killed after her cover was blown. However, no concrete evidence has been found to confirm this theory, and Clara Bauerle's records suggest she died in Berlin in 1942.

Romani Connections: Some researchers have suggested that Bella might have been part of a Romani group or a traveler community. This theory is based on the fact that many Romani people lived in the area during the 1940s, and some witnesses reported seeing gypsies in Hagley Wood around the time of Bella's presumed death. However, like the other theories, this remains speculative.

Local Knowledge: There are suggestions that the graffiti artist had local knowledge and possibly knew more about the case than the police were able to uncover. The use of the name "Bella" might indicate that someone in the community recognized her, but chose to remain anonymous.

Despite extensive investigations, the true identity of Bella and the circumstances surrounding her death remain unknown. The case was reopened several times, and modern forensic techniques have been suggested to re-examine the remains and the evidence, but so far, these efforts have not provided definitive answers.
