What does 213 have to do with Beth Bentley?

Week 61. Beth Bentley has been missing for 61 weeks!

What does 213 have to do with the disappearance of Beth Bentley, who vanished sometime between May 20-24 in 2010? - now over a year ago.

Anything?

213 is the address on Route 31 in McHenry of an office building. This building at one time held offices of PLM Title Company. The building is being renovated now for a division of Centegra.

It probably won't be long before the PLM sign is gone.

As a legal secretary in a McHenry law firm, did Beth ever have occasion to come in contact with Pamela Williams or Patricia Johnson, both of whom were sentenced to ten years in IDOC for their roles in a home mortgage fraud scheme? Williams and Johnson were accused of diverting clients' money to their own use.

Would any of their clients ever have had any dealings with PLM? Could Beth have known how PLM was operating? Was she about to talk? Was she a weak link for any reason? Could there have been a reason to "arrange" for her not to be able to tell about it?

Very interesting Gus
But I am sure the Police and all of their investigative groups have thoroughly checked every possibility.... (haven't they?)

But the Woodstock Police continue to say that this is only a missing-person case. If that's true, then are they investigating the possibility that a crime occurred, like murder or an "accidental" death?

I am still suspicious of the rumors of an office break-in on Sunday night, May 23, 2010; missing computer files; NO report to the McHenry, Ill. P.D. of a break-in; and that Beth's cell phone pinged in McHenry County late on May 23.

And there is no "crime" here?
