Bentley - still not on ISP Missing Person website

The Illinois State Police hosts a webpage on its State website for Missing Endangered Adults. You can view that page at http://isp.state.il.us/crime/missing.cfm

If the link doesn't work or stops working, go to the homepage for the Illinois State Police at http://isp.state.il.us Then scroll down to the bottom and click on Site Map. From there, see the list under Crime and click on Missing Persons.

You will quickly see that, as of today, Beth Bentley is NOT there. Beth was reported missing to the Woodstock Police Department on May 24. The Department issued a press release dated May 27. The Department issued an update on June 9 and referred to Beth as an "Missing Adult - Endangered."

So why isn't Beth on the ISP website? Where's the breakdown? Did WPD transmit the report and a request for listing promptly to the Illinois State Police? If so, did the ISP fall asleep at the switch, or has funding been cut so drastically that it can't update its Missing Persons webpage?

The most recent posting on the ISP webpage is April 3, 2002, and there are only nine missing persons listed; the oldest post is April 1, 1994. If the State is not going to maintain this page, then it should remove it!

A search on Google found www.illinoismissingadults.com, which appears to be a privately-run website but connected with Crime Stoppers. There is no listing there for Beth.
