Solving Beth Bentley's disappearance

What kind of detective work is it going to take to crack the Beth Bentley case?

Maybe we ought to retain Canton PD's Officer Harless and fly his Glock .40 and him to Woodstock. Sorry - couldn't resist...

Would a close analysis of telephone records be a good starting point? How about a grid (or extra large spreadsheet) of calls between Beth and close friends and family? Like, calls from her to them? And calls from them to her? And calls between the others?

Why would there be a high volume of calls between people who had been believed to be together? If they weren't together, where were they?

A large, side-by-side spreadsheet might reveal some very interesting facts. And raise some very serious questions.

Like why would one person call another and dial one call right after another, as if frantic to reach the other party? Why would calls be placed at strange hours?

And on the flip side, why might there be long stretches of no calls?

I've seen the phone records. There are very suspicious patterns. If the user of the phone were confronted about the pattern, what explanation might that user offer?

Of course, the time for this was a year ago. But it's never too late.

If you like Swiss cheese, you'll like the stories that have been fed to the public so far. But, like Swiss cheese left out in the heat too long, these stories are getting moldy. It's time for the truth and time to find Beth.

"Just wanted to say thank you for the GREAT article about the Beth Bentley case. Has quite a few people wondering, thinking, and asking questions.

"Those of us that try to keep her name out there get frustrated and frankly, tired of the spin some people throw out there to sidetrack, divide, and deflect the hard questions. It's sickening to me that there are people out there that don't care, don't want her found, and others that blindly follow and believe moronic stories to keep themselves "in the loop", when in fact they are being used as a tool to be disruptive.

"Please, keep posting. You have many readers out here counting on you!"

Thanks for the kind words.
