Summary

On March 27, 2004, 21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, were reported missing. They hadn’t been seen or heard from since March 25, when Jennifer told multiple family members she was scared and unhappy living with her boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his parents in their rural Robertson County, Tennessee home. When asked where Jennifer and Adrianna were, Joey gave multiple conflicting stories before settling on one—claiming he had dropped them off at a gas station on the night of the 25th, where they got into a white four-door car with two people he didn’t know. But nothing about this story, or the others, made sense. As Jennifer’s family searched for answers, they uncovered contradictions, missing details, and a troubling history of control and isolation, all of which left them questioning…what really happened to Jennifer and Adrianna Wix?
