Recently a person in southern Illinois took pictures of Beth into the Frosty Mug in Mt. Vernon and asked some questions.
The answers?
"Beth? Beth who?"
"There is a woman missing from Centralia? Really?"
Maybe most of those people in southern Illinois, who thought at first that Beth had really vanished from Centralia, Ill., have concluded that she did not.
Maybe they've decided that she really wasn't even in the Frosty Mug on May 21, 2010. Was she?
The Woodstock Police and the Mount Vernon Police should know.
When I was in Mount Vernon in November 2011, I was given the name of one person and told that "he really ought to get a good look". Meaning, that person should be carefully looked at in connection with Beth's being missing.
Is Beth "just" missing? Or is there a crime here, associated with her being "missing"? Why is she classified as a Missing Person but so little information coming out of the Woodstock Police Department and no information out of the family?
It has been over two years since Beth disappeared. What would happen if people who didn't even know her, or people who knew her only slightly, stopped looking and stopped asking questions?
Are there people around here who are just waiting for this case to get so old, so cold, that they can breathe a sigh of relief that their connection to Beth's being missing won't be pursued further?

Gus, as you know there is no statute of limitations on murder...I hope not...but if she has been murdered eventually it will come to the surface...it seems like in most cases someone gives the killer up even if its by a slip of the lip. Rewards sometimes help...greed is a great incentive in many cases it trumphs morality. Someone, somewhere needs to stir the pot and get this back in front of the publics' attention. Someone, somewhere, must know something and they need to be pressured to give it up to the authorities; but is anyone doing any pressuring anywhere?
And your next question is?
Woodstock PD has had lots of chances with "friends" close to this case. Ex., drug charges, traffic charges, DUI.
Did the prosecutors refuse "deals" and say they were going for the max 365 days in Hotel Nygren? Apparently not.
"Are there people around here who are just waiting for this case to get so old, so cold, that they can breathe a sigh of relief that their connection to Beth's being missing won't be pursued further"?
Ding Ding Ding! That is the correct answer!
Does anyone know of ANY continuing effort by the FAMILY of Beth Bentley to learn what happened to her?
Like, maybe, by Beth's husband, two adult sons, father, brothers (that's plural)? One brother is in Arizona; the other is right here in Woodstock.
Even the original Facebook page, after it was decimated by its controllers, now is aimed at finding ALL missing women, not just Beth - which means it's worthless as far as finding Beth.
