The answer is easy. "It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it." And my favorite book title keeps me going. (Can't quite read the title? Click on the book to enlarge the image; then click on the Back button on your browser to come back here.)
Who else is keeping Beth's status out in front of everybody? Somebody else want to take over?
When will I stop writing?When Beth is found; that's when. And when the people responsible for her disappearance have been identified, caught, prosecuted and jailed. That's when.
To all of you "out there" who are concerned about Beth's disappearance and the "investigation" into her disappearance: "How about some help?"
Beth reportedly disappeared on Sunday, May 23, 2010, from Centralia, Ill. That's "reportedly", as in according to the report of one person.
Come on, folks. Isn't anyone else outraged at the lack of news about progress in this case? The police need your help. But, without any information ever from them, just how interested is the public in trying to help at this time?
More than one woman has told me she hopes she never disappears from Woodstock, if the so-called "investigation" by the Woodstock P.D. is any example of how seriously a disappearance from this town is taken. Of course, Beth "reportedly" didn't disappear from Woodstock. So why is the Woodstock P.D. the lead investigatory agency? Only because she was reported missing to the Woodstock P.D.
Beth's co-worker, friend, traveling companion and sometimes-alibi, Jennifer Wyatt, knows more than has reached the public. If this is "only" a missing person case, why isn't more information available?
What was the mood in the car on the long drive to Mount Vernon, Ill. late on Thursday, May 20, 2010? Were they in a good mood? Or was there strain? After working all day and not leaving Woodstock until mid-evening, the 330-mile driver drive to Mount Vernon should have taken six hours. What time did they leave? 9:00PM? 10:00PM? Did they both drive? They couldn't get there by 2:00AM, but isn't that the time they supposedly arrived?
The Woodstock P.D. works for the public. It's the Public that pays for police officers. They don't work for the Bentley family. They don't work for any one of them or for any of them. They ought to be working for Beth - the person who has been missing for 94 weeks.
No one has been "cleared", as was early announced by one friend of the family. The police don't "clear" anyone. But no one has been named as a suspect or even as a person-of-interest. Are there plenty of candidates in those categories?
Has anyone ever seen a "story board" of the leads in this "missing person" case? You know, a wall full of pinned notes with names, locations, events, times, leads. In cop school they probably call it something else. (And, no, I don't watch CSI. I don't watch any television.) Call the "dots", and then start connecting the dots. That's how this "missing person" case will be solved.

It is being said that Beth was pregnant at the time she went missing. If she went to a doctor to confirm her pregnacy as it's being reported, can her doctor disclose that information with Beth being a missing person?
The police should have been able to get all the pertinent medical information. Not sure what legal authority would be required. I would think that all health screens could be obtained for the purpose of developing leads.
Police should have interviewed family members, friends and co-workers and should have asked about current and past health and relationships that might have resulted in pregnancy.
What if it turned out that police never made such inquiries? Or, if they did and learned about pregnancy-related conditions, current or past, did they investigate further?
Gus ... again, thank you for keeping Beths name out there. Please don't ever give up.
The people who are responsible for her "disappearance", the misinformation, the lies and fairy stories (can we say obstruction of justice) need to be reminded every day that this case isn't going away.
Beth was pregnant? What was on her camera? Who was she texting with for two days? Why was her car hidden in Wyatts garage? Why wasn't the rental car turned in right away, or at the same rental office it was rented from? If Beth's BFF keeps stating "Beth never intended on taking a train", why did she go along and hang missing posters at the train station? Where are Beth's friends and people that care about her? Why did the husband spew "the story" when given the chance on national t.v. when he knew "the story" was b.s.? Why doesn't the "break in" at the office on the night Beth was reported missing not screaming at LE to keep digging, that there's something terribly WRONG here?
Why was Cue Network dismissed and never taken up on offers of a search?
Is there anyone out there that cares????????????
I care! I still have her missing poster up on the wall of my office in Woodstock. I still talk with customers about her being missing. I know MANY that care. Unfortunately the ones that should be doing the lions share of caring seem to be silent.
Keep up the good work Gus and know that you are not alone in caring about this case.
Nice pic studdly-do-rite! Use a little Grecian and you'd look "sheriff-like"! DOH!
Thank you, Gus, for continuing to keep Beth's name out there. I hope someone who knows something will send a tip to the authorities, so her family can find closure.
