Where is Beth Bentley - 95 weeks later

Beth Bentley, Woodstock wife, mother, law-firm office manager, has now been missing for 95 weeks.

Last seen in Woodstock on Thursday night, May 20, 2010, Beth reportedly traveled to Mount Vernon, Illinois, with friend, co-worker, confidant, sometimes-alibi and banker for her friend, Jennifer Wyatt.

Reportedly they stayed with brothers Ryan and Nathan Ridge in a home just outside Mount Vernon that Ryan was rehabbing. No public statement is known to have ever been made by Ryan or Nathan. They certainly ought to know whether Beth ever arrived in Mount Vernon.

A waitress in the Frosty Mug reportedly waited on Beth, Jennifer, Ryan and Nathan on Friday night, May 21. Later there were attempts to discredit her statement and move the night of table service to two weeks earlier. Supposedly the waitress remembered the group, because she had refused to serve Nathan when he could not prove he was of legal age to purchase alcohol (because he wasn't).

Didn't the Woodstock PD chief say that a Saturday boat rental by Beth had been confirmed> Yet a local (Mount Vernon area) resident was told by the marina operator that he had not rented a boat to such a group.

On June 10, 2010, Jennifer called me and told me that Beth had never intended to spend the week-end at the Ridge house and that, when she took Beth to Centralia on Sunday afternoon, Beth never intended to take a train. Yet she let a number of local people in McHenry County make a trip to Chicago to search for Beth in the area of the Amtrak station in the Loop. Was that on the week-end of June 5? Why the wild goose chase, if Jennifer knew Beth had not taken the train?

Beth was supposed to have a birthday dinner with her father on May 23. When was that canceled, or was it? Telephone records do not indicate calls to him from Beth or Scott on May 23, after Beth reportedly telephoned her husband Scott about 4:00PM for a conversation lasting less than two minutes.

Have police analyzed the phone records and tried to put together a likely scenario from all the phone calls and text messages between people identified as significant in this case? Do the police even have the phone records?

Who entered Beth's Facebook account and removed so many comments and pictures that might have helped police find her? Who had access to her account or to her computer at work? Did police bear down on that person and treat that person with suspicion for unauthorized action on Beth's account? Does Facebook have a condition in its Terms of Service as to who can enter someone else's account?

How hard are law enforcement agencies still looking at this case?
