A homeless Vietnam veteran was found beheaded with occultist objects stuffed into his neck. Was LeRoy Carter Jr. killed to complete a ritual? Was Dungeons and Dragons to blame?⁠ ⁠ ***I wrongly labeled this episode "Satanic" and I apologize, I assumed things about the case when I made the graphic, that were later disproved during research***⁠ ⁠

With WWII raging across Europe, local boys discover a woman's skeletal remains stuffed inside of a hollow wych elm. They pledge not to say anything but one cracks under the pressure and confesses to his parents. Police aren't sure if it's satanic or espionage-related and no one knows who she is. 3 years later, a graffiti artist dubs the woman "Bella" and now she's known worldwide but yet, she remains unidentified.  Was she a witch? A sacrifice? A Nazi spy?
