Beth Bentley - missing 6 weeks now

Woodstock resident Beth Bentley, 41, disappeared from sight six weeks ago, on Sunday, May 23.

Somebody knows where she is.

One of the big questions is whether she might have chosen to vanish. Woodstock Police classify this case as a Missing Person case - an Endangered adult is missing, although "Endangered" has not been defined. The police said last month that they have no evidence of foul play.

The second, and latest, missing-person flier on the Woodstock Police Department webpage is dated June 9, nearly a month ago. It states that she was staying in the Mt. Vernon area on two days; perhaps "visiting" is a more accurate word. She had driven there on Thursday night and was expected back in Woodstock on Monday.

It also states that she was dropped off in Centralia on Sunday to catch a train for Chicago, apparently leaving the rental car in the possession of her woman traveling companion. Since that still appears on the PD website, do they still believe it?

I don't think there are a lot of people left who still believe that.

The Beth Bentley missing-person Facebook page now has 7,000 followers. The reward is up to $5,000. If you have any information, contact the Woodstock Police Department at 815.338.2131 or CrimeStoppers at 800.762.STOP
