Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm?

The famous pathologist Dr Keith Simpson describes such a case in his book Forty Years of Murder.

A woman's body was found after a wartime bombing in London. Her husband had murdered her and as I recall, her makeshift grave was discovered when ruins were being searched after a bombing.

I have a suspicion that a fair few 'inconvenient' people may have disappeared and had it put down to them being caught in a bombing if their whereabouts were unknown.
