The Chicago Tribune reports today (May 31) in breaking news that Woodstock resident Beth Bentley, 41, was reported missing on Monday, May 24, after she failed to return from a trip by train to Centralia. According to the Tribune article, she was to return to Woodstock on Sunday, May 23.
Woodstock is named in the article, and the article says that "police in the northwest suburban city" confirmed that she has been reported missing, but so far no information appears on the City's police department website or in the Northwest Herald.
Bentley reportedly was dropped off at the Centralia Amtrak station to catch the 6:08PM train to Chicago. Although the article did not specifically state, presumably that was Sunday. If her husband reported her as missing on Monday, for what reason would the Woodstock Police Department be withholding information about a person reported missing?
According to information in the Tribune article, "Bentley is described as 5-foot-6 and 160 pounds with blond hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black tank top, blue denim miniskirt and carrying a pink and orange overnight Vera Bradley bag.
It would seem to me that the sooner the word goes out in Centralia, in Chicago and between Centralia and Woodstock, the sooner possible witnesses to any sightings might report to police.
