Postmortem: Maybe she just got into the wych elm herself? I know they said it was really hard to do without getting hurt but if she was scared enough of something she wouldn't care. She might be running from someone, it could be a person, a wild animal or an air rade. And once she got in, she would've not been able to get out and died of starvation. #ShaniacatmindbutBoogaraatheart

#postmortem - my dad's written a novel about this (The Hollow Tree by James Brogden), we live near Birmingham and he got to see the original police case files and photos of her body when he was researching it, he said it was very odd to see, and there really wasn't much left of her. also - the graffiti actually spelled 'wych' as 'witch', hence the supernatural suspicion. anyway, if people are interested in the story it's a massive part of the local history and the book is great!!

#PostMortem Not a question but a piece of information you didn't know about hair. It grows in the organ "follicle" which is found in the dermal layer of the skin. Skin, not skull XD And I don't think hair can grow from the skull, that's weird and goes against the way hair grows. Perhaps you saw it in movies, which aren't very reliable. Hope it was helpful! Stay safe, love you both and thank you for always making me smile ♥

what if lubella is the words mixed up of her real name, her name could have been Abelle and the the UL could be her middle and last initial. I feel like he made it as a riddle to her real name like a puzzle to solve

I’m assuming someone who knew her saw her murder and didn’t recognize her murderer but didn’t want to get involved and risk their own life by coming forward publicly with their name involved

I mean like, witches do sacrifice things, but mostly time and energy, maybe small animals. But a big thing is ‘if one takes from the earth, one must give back’ a lot of people give back plants, and hair from their own head (taking hair from your head is what it feels like to have the plants taken from Mother Nature). Offerings to the earth

The hair takes longer to disolve so sometimes the hair is left on the skul because the skin rots away on the skul so the hair is left around the skul

Weirdly, the 'Taffeta' which they found in her mouth, is associated with prostitution during the English renaissance, and appears in Shakespeare's 'A Twelth Night'. It might be recalled that in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', there is a spirit called Ariel trapped in a tree. I think they should have examined the crank who was leaving the messages a little more. Just because someone is insane, doesn't mean they won't kill someone and stuff them in a tree.
