Original Beth Bentley WPD press release restored

For some reason the Woodstock Police Department has republished the original press release dated May 27 in the Beth Bentley disappearance case.

The May 27th release does not carry any date of publication on the City Police Department's website index; nor does it display an expiration date, as the second notice (June 9) does.

The May 27th release contains what is now believed to be erroneous information that Beth had "reportedly" been seen boarding a train for Chicago on Sunday, May 23. The police must have been told that by Scott Bentley or Jennifer Wyatt, but no attribution is contained in the police announcement.

The June 9th update from the Woodstock Police Department reads that Beth was dropped off at the Centralia train station for a 6:00PM train to Chicago. Even that information appeared to be incorrect as early as June 10th, when Jennifer Wyatt called me and told me that she had dropped Beth off near the Centralia station and that Beth had never intended to take the train to Chicago.

Surely, the Woodstock Police would have had that information.

The mystery continues, and Facebook posters continue to claw at one another's throats as they take sides and form opinions about involvement and guilt of various parties close to Beth. Some, including me, have been banned by moderators of the original Facebook page, and now at least one Woodstock woman has been banished from the second Facebook page dedicated to finding Beth.

Beth has been missing for 22 1/2 weeks.
