Beth Bentley - gone 130 weeks

One hundred thirty (130) weeks. That's how long Beth Bentley has been missing. That's 910 days that those involved know what happened to her and have managed to keep quiet.

I find it preposterous that JennWyatt could give Beth a ride on Sunday, May 23, 2010, from Mt. Vernon, Ill. to Centralia, Ill. and not know what Beth was going to do or whom she was going to meet, after Beth supposedly dropped Beth off near the Amtrak Station about 6:00PM.

Did these two "best friends" chatter away during the 25-mile drive?

Or did something happen over the week-end that angered Beth (or Jenn) and the ride was in silence? But Beth had rented a car for the week-end, so we've been told. If Beth were mad, wouldn't she have taken the car and headed for home? Why would she leave the rental car with Jenn, who didn't have a valid driver's license at the time?

Or maybe there was no drive to Centralia. Then what?

What was the "red herring" all about that led people to believe that Beth had taken the 6:00PM train north toward Chicago? The first thing I did was look up the schedule and I saw that the train arrived in Chicago too late for her to catch any other train to Woodstock than the 12:30AM train, arriving in Woodstock at 2:01AM (Monday, May 24, 2010). How was Beth going to get home? Who would pick her up?

Supposedly the Friends of Beth went to the Chicago Loop and posted missing person fliers. Did they? Who went? Do they now feel they got suckered? Why isn't anyone speaking up?

Are the people who do know afraid? Who could be threatening them? They will live in fear forever, unless they step forward and tell the truth. Now would be a good time.

The lack of any progress on this case is bewildering. It's been obvious from the start Ms. Bentley was murdered. Obvious? Yes. The obvious lies by the "best" friend, any meaningful searches or investigation (Ms. Bentleys computer, phone, the rental car, ETC). How do they sleep at night?

Why did she RENT a car to begin with? She had a vehicle.
I agree with you Karen. Hopefully the ones that removed Beth from whatever she had gotten herself into will be sleeping in a cell someday very soon.
