Through a message received directly from a Mt. Vernon, Ill. resident I've learned that it is believed there is a "bad" batch of heroin being distributed in the Mt. Vernon area. Now, I'm one who would say that there is no "good" batch. A "bad" batch is, to me, one that results in fast and/or abnormal reaction to the drug. To a new or infrequent user it could be almost instantly fatal.
This information was sent to me in connection with the Beth Bentley disappearance.
If anyone - anyone - has knowledge of drug use by anyone being associated with any of the parties connected to Beth or this case, contact the Woodstock (Ill.) Police Department at 815.338.2131 with information. It couldn't hurt also to contact the Mt. Vernon Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, just to be sure that everyone gets the same information fast.
Or you can call the Crime Stoppers Coalition of McHenry County at 800.762.STOP. Crime Stoppers' phone lines are supposed to be confidential; this one is answered at a local police department. Rules in certified Crime Stopper organizations may be in place to tightly control who has access to the list of numbers from which calls are received, but the McHenry County Coalition is not a certified group. If you want to be sure that your number is not revealed, use a Calling Card. But call, and call today.
Every tip could be useful in finding Beth. You never know how it might be connected with another tip, which could then lead to locating Beth. Every day that passes reduces the odds of finding her.

You have made an unacceptable leap here.
You say I got some information about one thing, that shares some connection with another thing.
Tying these two together is unfair and defames the person that you tied it to.
Imagine how you might feel about this connection: I got information about a person who wanted to ban guns in Woodstock, for fear of attack from a homosexual lover in connection with the Gus Phillpot blog.
This type of journalism is far beneath you and the connection you infer is insulting to Beth.
It would be fair to mention the problem in Mt. Vernon, but the "This information was sent to me in connnection ...." sentence, may be actionable.
