Why did Beth Bentley disappear?

Week 74, and no Beth.

Beth Bentley, 41 when she vanished in May 2010, was a Woodstock mother, wife, manager of a legal office in McHenry and legal secretary to her husband, Scott Bentley. Also, friend of Jennifer Wyatt, with whom she reportedly traveled to Mount Vernon, Illinois, late Thursday, May 20, 2010.

Did she? Jenn says so. Where did they stay? Reportedly at a house in Mount Vernon that is owned by the Ridge family (of Woodstock) and which was being rehabbed by Ryan Ridge. You'd think that, just maybe, at least one statement from Ryan Ridge might have reached the public. Has it? Not to my knowledge. Same with any statement by his younger brother, Nathan Ridge, who reportedly was in Mount Vernon that week-end.

If Jenn and Beth reached Mount Vernon early on Friday morning and went to the Ridge house and spent the week-end there, then Jenn, Ryan and Nathan know the events of that week-end. They know who did what, when and where.

Since this is "just" a missing person case, why haven't those details been released? Woodstock Police claim that releasing details could hinder their investigation. What investigation? Investigation of what?

Maybe, if those details had been released, somebody might have shown up and said, "Whoa! Wait a minute! I know something different."

How many holes are there in Jenn's story about that Monday, October 24, 2010, when she was supposed to meet up with Beth, so they could return to Woodstock together and so that Beth could get home before Scott got home from work. Telephone records don't support that story. What's the real story?
