Police Chief Lowen may comment at 1-year anniversary of missing Bentley

On Monday evening Angela Montgomery wrote on "Missing Beth Bentley" (Facebook) page, "... NW Herald is doing a story. Also, Chief Robert Lowen of the Woodstock PD will be attending and making a statement about the case." Angela is referring to Sunday's planned balloon release in Emricson Park (Woodstock) at 3:00PM. Does anyone know where to meet in the Park?
It will be interesting to hear what Chief Lowen has to say about this case, which apparently is still classified as a Missing Person case by the Woodstock P.D. Perhaps he'll follow the lead of the chief of the Round Lake Park Police Department and really give out some new information.

Interested and concerned people around here want to know...
... is the Woodstock Police Department still the lead investigative law enforcement agency or has any agency taken over the case?
... how involved is the Illinois State Police?
... have Ryan and Nathan Ridge been questioned? Supposedly, Beth and Jenn stayed with them in Mount Vernon that week-end.
... were romantic links established between Beth and any other men?
... have the police determined whether Beth was pregnant at the time she disappeared?
... to what extent do police believe drug or alcohol use or abuse might be connected with her disappearance?
... is there proof that Beth ever left Woodstock on Thursday night, May 20?
... what were the plans, if any, that Beth and Jenn made to rendezvous on Monday, in order to return to Woodstock together?
... do the police consider it "unusual" that a woman reported to be working in Scott's office in Beth's place is also reportedly living in Scott's home?
... is Jenn Wyatt still working in Scott's office and, if so, is she classified as an employee?

Readers on Facebook are back to talking about how, if Beth had been in Centralia, Ill. on Sunday, May 23, 2010, about 5:30PM, somebody would have seen her. This position is really hard to understand. Why would somebody necessarily have seen her and attached any significance to it? First of all, someone could have seen her, and it's just that nobody has found that "somebody". If she ever was there and got out of the rental car that Jenn was driving (was there ever really a rental car?) and stood around for a few minutes before somebody else picked her up, why would anyone think that was a big enough deal to remember?

On Saturday a Facebook reader commented that Jenn's Facebook photo looked just like Beth. She wrote: "...I literally gasped outloud! I swear I was looking at Beth. Jenn has the platinium (sic) blonde hair styled just like Beth did, big old black sunglasses and a necklace, and I wonder if it was Beth's necklace?"

And then Angela commented that Jenn had used that photo before. I can't access that Facebook page or photo, but maybe someone else can.

That the incorrect information on the "Missing Beth Bentley" Facebook page hasn't been corrected is very strange. It reads that she lives in Mount Vernon, Illinois and it provides an incorrect year-of-birth.
