Beth Bentley - gone 145 weeks

Beth Bentley vanished on May 23, 2010. Or was it May 22? Or maybe May 21? Or even as early as May 20?

Who saw her after she was at the Woodstock Dairy Queen on the evening of Thursday, May 20, 2010, following her youngest son's baseball game? Did she disappear from Centralia, Ill.? From Mount Vernon, Ill.? Possibly never left Woodstock?

Is anyone else asking these questions?

What police agencies are involved? Woodstock PD. Mount Vernon PD. Centralia PD. Jefferson County (Ill.) Sheriff's Office. Illinois State Police, Zone 7 Investigations, Effingham, Ill.

Was Beth at the Frosty Mug in Mount Vernon on May 21? A waitress reportedly served a table where Beth, Jenn Wyatt, Ryan Ridge and Nathan Ridge dined and drank. She remembered, because Nathan couldn't produce a valid ID and liquor service was refused to him. Was there a credit card used? Beth's?

Woodstock Police Chief Bob Lowen said his department confirmed a boat rental on Saturday, and all who went out came back. Yet a local resident there reported that the marina boat rental operator said there hadn't been any such rental. Was Beth's credit card used?

A law enforcement officer in southern Illinois indicated a person that he thought ought to get a strong "look". Would that make that person a "person-of-interest"?

Did Beth's phone really "ping" in McHenry County late on Sunday, May 23 (before she was reported missing the next day)?

Was Beth's husband's law office really broken into on that Sunday night? Were computers or hard drives taken? Did one of her sons sleep at that office for a couple of nights, in case the burglar returned? Why is there no report at the McHenry (City) Police Department?

Who got into Beth's Facebook account and purged all the photos, postings and comments? How did that person get into the account? What computer was used to access Beth's Facebook account? By what authority did that person do so? Does Facebook have a record of all those photos, postings and comments? Did police obtain that record?
