Beth Bentley - gone 191 weeks

When Beth Bentley was reported missing on May 24, 2010, did anyone think that, 3½ years later, she would still be wondering where Beth is?

The story of her disappearance is known to many and doesn't have to be repeated today.

But questions persist. Was there ever, really, any suspicion then that her disappearance wasn't voluntary?

Beth is still classified as a Missing Person by the Woodstock (Ill.) Police Department. Shortly after that initial classification, the word "Endangered" was added.

Why? What did the police learn that caused them to add "Endangered" to the poster that still appears on the PD's website, although it is buried down too many "clicks" where nobody will see it? Can you find it?

What would the Woodstock Police learn today, if they dusted off the cold-case file on this case and re-interviewed all the people known to be in Beth's life? And those who have come into the circle since? And those who have tried to leave the circle?

Skilled investigators, trained in missing person cases, would pick up on nuances - whether stories told now were exactly the same as 3½ years ago or whether minor differences would be understood as normal over time - and whether stories had changed enough to result in an "A-ha" moment requiring a deeper look.

I could name about 25 people who ought to get a close look. Is the police list even longer?

Should Police update the missing-person flyer and correct the errors that now are obvious in it?
