Pippin:
Bella's a clever witch. She could have found a way to hide it before
she was captured. But since the damage to Mad-eye indicates she went
down fighting,  I think she must have recovered it once Voldemort took
over the ministry. Her wand was evidence of her crimes; I don't think
it would have been destroyed while she was still under sentence.

Hagrid's case was different since apparently the charges against him
were dropped.
