Thanks, r131313. I second the denial of Verified status to everyone. At least, in this case.

Thanks, Tricia. Respectfully, how does someone prove a rumor is true? Do they only have to prove that the rumor exists, and not what the rumor is true? (No answer is really needed.) I was under the impression that rumors could be posted, if they were so labeled. I think rumors can lead to...

I spoke with JW on June 10. She told me 1) Beth never intended to spend the entire week-end with her; 2) Beth didn't take a train and never intended to; 3) Beth and JW were going to meet back up near Woodstock, in order to return together to Woodstock so that Beth could be home before SB got...

Some lawyers, particularly trial lawyers, develop mastery at skills such as deception and misdirection. That is how cases are won or lost in court, by either side. Remember how so many fell for the "train story"? When we heard that Beth was dropped off at (or even near) the train station...

A blackmailer is only done when the money runs out and he is sure the blackmailee won't complain. The way you keep the blackmailee from complaining, is to threaten. If threats stop working, then you eliminate the ability to complain. Maybe Beth wouldn't (or couldn't) get more money, and she...

It seems to me that we are just going around in circles, somewhat like a dog chasing its tail. The "train story" comes up, goes away, comes up, goes away. I don't recall ever hearing SB saying that Beth was taking the train, and I have always questioned whether that's what JW really told the...

Is JW still in the Woodstock/McHenry County area? The house at the Woodstock address shown on her last two tickets (Nov. 2009 and 6/23/10) gives every appearance of being vacant, and it looks like there is a utility shut-off notice on the front door. Her continued availability to LE would...

Respectfully, the FB posts being deleted are not "suspicious" ones. They are ones that some of the site admins don't like.

If Beth were found and if there were any delay in announcing it, I think some heads around here would roll. A number of people would be looking for new jobs right away.

As I read this excellent material and comment, my first thought was, What if the local LE slammed Project Jason and told Scott it was a waste of time, because P/J wasn't LE. Could be just my own jaundiced opinion, based on years of local experience. However, if WPD did support contacting P/J...

Is it easier to go to Las Vegas on O.P.M.? Would $2,000 for a P.I. in Las Vegas have been a better investment in the search? Just curious... How is it known that LE doesn't want a P.I.? Or is it actually known or verified? It probably doesn't matter, b/c there might not be $$$ for a P.I...

Happen to recall who posted the comment that LE told the family not to hire a PI? Which LE? When? If that had been said (and I highly doubt it), then it would have been said to SB. Anyone copy it before it got deleted? Frankly, if some of the sleuthers here put their heads together and then...

Has anyone ever heard of a Bentley family search coordinator in the Mt. Vernon area? Like, that there even was one, much less a name and contact information? After a search team was invited, KB posted a dismissive comment that there already was a SEARCH COORDINATOR (her caps). I know that I've...

What about JW's statements on June 10 that Beth never intended to spend the whole week-end with her, and the plan was never to take the train? It would be interesting to know where JW's story changed from "take the train" (if it ever was that) to "never intended to take the train" (June 10 (or...

Who Knew raises an excellent point. If a person knows of a murder or other foul deed, you can usually keep them quiet by threatening them. But, if you really want to keep them quiet, you threaten their kids or other family members. Anyone with knowledge of Beth's disappearance should get it...

Respectfully, Beth has been missing 2 months, not 10. She disappeared May 23, 2010. Could your "10 months" be a Freudian slip? If she were pregnant, she might disappear for 10 months and just come back with a "Hi, everybody. How have you been?" Babies can be placed for adoption at birth or...

Very important and very clearly said. At this point, no one knows what seemingly insignificant idea or word might lead to Beth.

Does anyone know the going-rate for a P.I.? Not only the hourly rate, but estimate of daily expenses (mileage, lodging, document fees)? And the amount of the retainer to open an investigation? Just curious...

This case might have died halfway through the first thread (now there are five!), if JW had said none of those things about Beth. Is it possible the focus is in the wrong area? Little attention has been paid to the Wisconsin angle. Where did the sick (dying?) grandmother live? Madison? Green...

Respectfully, how can FB administrators confirm something like this? For it to be true, 1) a FB administrator would have to be told something by JW and 2) the FB administrator would have to hear from LE that JW had told LE the same thing. I am having a really hard time believing that...
