    Seems the police caught the local crank responsible for the graffiti.

    Lot of conflicting "evidence".

    Anyone know precisely where on the estate the tree was?

    Was it near Hagley Hall or on the other side?

    Webster said that the body gave no pointers as to cause of death except for part of her skirt which had been pushed pretty deep into her mouth which might have indicated asphyxiation.
    Now the peanut gallery is looking up a foreman by the name of Magnum

    Gaslight was a popular stage play and movie at the time.

    Nowadays Louisa Bella is a well known blogger.

    i mean not really a common name is it?

    unless its unquestionably determined that the known prostitute bella turned up alive, im inclined to question that. is their anything in the police record that confirms this?
    Actually Bella is a popular first and last name.

    They also checked shops in Bilston, Wednesbury and West Bromwich. I was in Wednesbury today.
    Which left 6 pairs sold at the market stall in Dudley.
    Dudley was a bit of a tourist town,with the castle being converted to a zoo in 1939.

    Well get a wriggle on,you should be in Monbury!

    Webster said that she was between 4’ 9 1/5” and 4’ 10 1/5.” Tiny. It was also felt that the shoes, a size 5 1/5 were large for a woman of her size.
