In the May 2011 monthly report of the Woodstock Police Department to the City Manager and the City Council, a few words (and I do mean, a few words) were devoted to the year-old case of missing person Beth Bentley.
What did the PD have to say?
"The Investigations Division and the Illinois State Police have continued to aggressively follow up on all leads and investigate the Endangered Missing Person Benedetta 'Beth' Bentley case."
Twenty-seven words. That's all. And the strange part to me is that these are the same words that appeared in the April 2011 Police Department monthly report. So it's boilerplate that is being used and re-used. And that makes the words worthless.
What does "Investigations Division and the Illinois State Police" mean? Are the State Police involved? In what way? What leads (how many, if any?) were received in May? Any tips from Crime Stoppers? How many interviews? Why no press conference?
Do you realize there has not been even one press conference since Beth was reported missing?
A lot of people think Beth isn't "missing" and that she never was "missing". What is the Woodstock Police Department doing to move this case from a missing-person case to a crime? Anything? Are there motives? Some think so. Are there persons-of-interest? Oh, yes... But has the Woodstock P.D. ever named a person-of-interest? No, not ever.
The Woodstock P.D. has a chance right now to zero on someone close to Beth. Will they take advantage of the opportunity or miss it again?
