The anniversary of Beth Bentley's missing-person status passed last week on Thursday, May 23. That was the three-year mark.
The bank that was after her for $15,000 gave up in court. Guess they realized it's pretty hard to succeed against a debtor, if you can't find the person to serve her with court papers. But they still have a chance, because the case was closed "without prejudice".
I was hoping that the purchaser of the credit card debt might be willing to make public the last 2-3 credit card statements and record of charges, so that valuation information about final transactions might provide some clues to her disappearance. But those final statements are not filed with the court - yet.
It seemed strange to me that Beth would make a payment on her charge-card account on the day she disappeared, May 23, 2010. That is too much of a coincidence to pass up.
On May 23, 2013, the Northwest Herald article carried this paragraph. (Former? neighbor Angela) "Montgomery said she believes her friend died of an accidental drug overdose and that her body was hidden."
Did the police identify this drug lead possibility early in their investigation of the missing-person report? Was every friend or acquaintance or co-worker of Beth considered in the light of suspicion of drug involvement? If Beth used drugs, do police know who her dealers were? Do police know who Beth used with, if she did?
If there was an accidental OD, who might have Beth been with at the time? Did it happen in Mt. Vernon?
Since Woodstock Police indicated that there was a boat rental on May 22 and that all who went out came back, it can be presumed that if Beth was in the Mt. Vernon area that Saturday. If she went out on the rental boat and came back, then she was alive late Saturday afternoon. Were drugs used Saturday night? Was Beth alive on Sunday morning?
Could the pattern of telephone calls on Sunday morning explain anything about her disappearance? People who should have been together were making phone calls to people they would have been with. That is, unless they weren't with them.
Did Jenn Wyatt really drive Beth to Centralia late Sunday afternoon and drop her off near the Amtrak Station? If so, why was Beth's phone used to order a pizza from Pogue's Pizza, and why did an employee of Pogue's say that pizza was never picked up?
Someone knows the answers to all these questions.

it's interesting that you think you are smarter than the police. do you really believe that you will think of something they did not.
Really....
I already have. And so have others.
So You say......
Just because the police don't tell you about it does not mean they have not thought about it
The police don't tell me anything. In fact, they refuse to release information by denying FOIA requests, even though this is a missing person case, not a crime investigation. So they say.
In many missing-person cases (around the country), the police actively and continually solicit help from the public and offer up details that might help the public help them.
