Somebody in Woodstock knows where Beth Bentley is!
Bentley, 41, disappeared on May 23 in southern Illinois, somewhere in the vicinity of Mt. Vernon or Centralia.
There have been many stories, even more rumors.
The Facebook site for Beth Bentley-Missing has 7,400+ followers, but interest is waning there and fewer and fewer are posting comments that could help find her..
The websleuths.com site continues to draw interesting comments from sleuthers", but it is hard to follow because now there are five "threads".
Many question the lack of comment or announcements from law enforcement or family. Only two notices are posted on the Crime Alerts webpage of the Woodstock Police Dept., with the most recent one dated June 9. Beth is listed by WPD as a "missing adult-endangered", but no clear explanation of "endangered" is available. The WPD defines endangered in general terms as "a person who is missing under circumstances indicating that his/her physical safety may be in danger." Now that clears everything up nicely, doesn't it?
A relatively small reward is posted. CrimeStoppers posted a $2,000 reward, and that was increased to $5,000 in mid-June from other sources, although it has never been clear who kicked in. A fundraiser was held on July 16, but that apparently was for search expenses and not for the reward fund. A Facebook page identifies a trust and a CHASE Bank account for donations to the Find Beth Bentley Reward Fund, but the reward has not been increased since the fundraiser.
There are several locations in the Mt. Vernon area that are ideal spots for searches, but no organization of searches has yet occurred. Lots of talk; no walk.
Anyone ready to go to Mt. Vernon and search? I hear that mosquitoes, copperheads, rattlesnakes and poison ivy head up the Welcome Committee.

I'll bite-wild,baseless speculation or are you hindering the investigation?
Perhaps we can agree on a few less words...
how's this?
"SOMEBODY knows where Beth Bentley is!"
THAT MUCH has got to be true!
Can you explain how Gus is hindering the investigation??
There are rumors and a whole lot of bullshit being spewed about this case. Fingers are pointing, the stories get wilder by the day. The one place people go for any updated information, is being mostly run by two friends, one who's sister is feeding her information and she repeats it incorrectly, or changes her opinion every 5 minutes, or lashes out at others for doing exactly what she's doing, and the other, is a person that has never met Beth, but is basking in the attention (now dwindling) she must not get at her volunteer position at some podunk radio station in MO. She is just as offensive as the other one, she just spells better. Not much better, but better.
You have a few hangers-on, many have moved on because of these clowns.
The only people not talking about this case? Law enforcement, the "beside himself" husband, and the media. These are the three that should be keeping the story alive, with accurate updates. Hell, the people that collectively shelled out the four grand might be interested in an update. Those that donated to the "find Beth" fund at Chase bank might be interested in an update, hell, the Joe Schmoe taxpayer that supports law enforcement might be interested too.
Why the silence in this case?
Also, I'd like to report a missing person. Where the hell has Madd Bulldog been? Is he off on a bender? Did he get on a train? Has he met with foul play, or did he take off all on his own and simply doesn't want to be found? I'll donate a case of beer to anyone that provides information of his whereabouts. :)
That little squiggly thing at the end of the sentence is called a question mark....it means the sentence is a question not an accusation.
In my opinion, the 3 women that were talked about that have been controlling the facebook page have only HURT the case, instead of HELPED it. They've driven so many people away, and have made people scared to give an opinion or theory that may help the case.
