Adrianna and her mother, Jennifer Wix, were seen together between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. on March 25, 2004. Jennifer's live-in boyfriend, William Benton, initially stated Jennifer and Adrianna left home with an unknown individual.

He later altered his story and said he and Jennifer had an argument and he dropped her and Adrianna off at an Exxon gas station near Exit 112 off Interstate 65 in Cross Plains, Tennessee. After five to ten minutes, Adrianna and Jennifer got into a white four-door early 1990's model mid-size car, at a gas station near Exit 112 off Interstate 65 in Cross Plains, Tennessee.

Benton stated Jennifer went to their home, without Adrianna, the next afternoon. She was driving the car she'd gotten into the previous day. She asked for her income tax return but her boyfriend's parents were not at home to give her the money so she left and said she would come back for it. She never did.

Jennifer and Adrianna have never been heard from again. Neither of them had any personal items, money, or extra clothes when they disappeared.

Jennifer and Adrianna may still be in the Cross Plains area, or they may have traveled to Florida. They are believed to be in danger, as it is uncharacteristic of Jennifer to be out of touch with her family.

Jennifer and two-year-old Adrianna Wix haven’t been seen for 18 years. With foul suspected, the case was classified as a homicide in 2013.

The two were last seen by Jennifer’s boyfriend and his parents at their home in the Owens Chapel Community in Springfield. The family says that they haven’t given up hope to find out what happened to them. Today, they held an event to bring awareness to the case.

The family has drafted a flyer to gain traction and new information for the case. They believe that someone could have a small bit of information to help piece the case together.

 

[GrandmaBear]

It's very sad when there is clearly a belief of who is responsible but justice has not resulted. That has to be very hard to deal with. May "those" responsible never have rest or an easy conscience. Clearly "they" aren't the type to do the right thing.

No, they sure aren’t! Then again, how can we expect somebody who would murder a little girl would do the right thing?

Jennifer Wix’s mother grieves on what would have been daughter’s 40th birthday

21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, disappeared more than 18 years ago. On what would have been Jennifer’s 40th birthday, her mother is no closer to answers.

Jennifer Wix’s mother grieves on what would have been daughter’s 40th birthday​

It’s been more than 18 years since 21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old toddler, Adrianna, disappeared. Instead of celebrating Wix’s 40th birthday Tuesday, her mother, Kathy Nale. grieves and cries out for answers.

“She was barely 21; she was barely an adult, and now she’s 40,” Nale said. “Hard to believe, but here I am still today, begging, begging for help.”

“That’s my prayer is that we just keep reaching out and reaching out and reaching out as far as we can until we find the answer, until we bring justice for them,” Nale said. “I really want to bring them home, that’s all I want. I just want to bring them home.”

Nale said every birthday that passes is another reminder of all the time Jennifer and Adrianna missed out on. She hopes one day she will be able to lay them both to rest.

“I should have a place to take flowers today if I can’t hug (Jennifer) and I can’t celebrate her birthday with her, at least I should have a place to take flowers to,” Nale said. “That’s all I know is that I should have that, and I want that more than anything.”

 

[Mel70]

I think it's better, No matter how painful, Infuriating and all the feelings involved to know the truth than left wondering.

 

[Kimster]

Knowing Kathy over the years, i’d have to say it’s getting worse rather than better. There was even a period of time when she did her best to not think about it and of course that didn’t work either.

It’s just torture. Makes me sick. Just makes me sick that we live in this kind of a world.

 

[Kimster]

Happy 21st birthday, Adrianna.

Jennifer and Adrianna Wix cold case gets new detective

The case has gone cold, but the family has a restored sense of hope after a new detective was recently assigned to the case.

Jennifer and Adrianna Wix cold case gets new detective​

Almost 19 years have passed since then 21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, disappeared in Cross Plains, and after nearly two decades with no answers, a new detective has taken over the case.

Jennifer and Adrianna’s family has waited for nearly two decades for movement in the case, which has remained stagnant until now.

“I would say over the past 15 years, they kind of worked it passively, so to have this active investigation, it almost feels like it did in the beginning where there are people looking at our case file every day,” Casey Robinson, Jennifer’s sister and Adrianna’s aunt, said.

“After 19 years as a mother, you lose a little bit of faith in not just the people who are working on it for you, but the faith and the hope that you will ever get answers, so for (my mother) to sit beside me the other day and see the spark and their eyes light up like that, that was huge,” Robinson said.

Family of Robertson County mom and daughter missing for 19 years remain focused on getting answers

Nineteen years after a mother and daughter in Robertson County disappeared, their family isn't giving up hope answers will come.

CROSS PLAINS, Tenn. (WTVF) — This week marks 19 years since Jennifer Wix and her daughter Adrianna were last seen in Robertson County, and while the anniversary is emotional for family members, they still have hope answers will come.

"What goes through my mind is it is unbelievable I still don’t have answers to what happened to Jennifer and Adrianna," said Kathy Nale, Jennifer's mother and Adrianna's grandmother.

 

[Kimster]

The following was written by Jennifer's little sister on Facebook:

19 years ago, on this day.
We didn’t know it yet, but they were gone.
.
.
.
I can only explain what it feels like, like this…
The overwhelming, aching, feeling of looking for something you’ve lost but never able to find it.
You look everywhere, retrace footsteps and constantly go over what happened the day you lost it… but, it never helps.
You ask others, have you seen it?
They may tell you the last time they saw it and where, but you look, and it’s not there.
It’s never there.
You get distractions from time to time, but you’re always pulled back into this vicious cycle of looking for something that you can seem to never find.
like a song you can’t get out of your head, it plays, over, and over, and over.
.
.
19 years ago my sister made a terrible decision.
She decided to enter a relationship with a monster.
If you ask anyone that knew him, they’ll tell you he loved them. That he loved Adrianna.
She wanted to build a life with him.
Start a family.
But she didn’t know, and neither did we… that personalities can change when under pressure, under the influence.
That the man she chose WOULDN’T EVEN LOOK FOR HER.
If not personally responsible, he allowed it.
Offered zero protection for the woman he loved, and her child.
For people to say… he loved them. HA!
I disagree.
We didn’t know that day, that those would be our last conversations.
Our last visit, would be the last.
We didn’t know we’d had our last hugs, our last sweet little Adrianna snuggles… seen them smile for the last time.
Heard their voices.
My heart breaks.
Every. Day.
Forgive me this year for being a little bit forward.
But, I’m heart broken and frustrated.
When you love someone.
Or when someone goes missing FROM YOUR HOME, you would try.
Or at least try to show the world you’re trying, to prove your innocence.
To make everyone think you’re telling the truth.
NOT ONCE.
Not one time, has he or his parents made a public statement. No plea, to please come home.
Nothing.
Silence, from day one.
Even a mother, would defend her son if she believed him. But none of them have said ANYTHING.
Almost as if they knew…. They’re gone.
There’s no point.
This frustration is not only directed at their family.
But their friends. His friends, and people that ran in his circle or dated his friends at the time.
I’VE TRIED.
Damnit, I have tried reaching some of them.
And AFTER 19 YEARS… they still won’t say anything.
Won’t talk to me, or just can’t seem to make the time for a short conversation.
Think they’ve ‘done all they could’ - ‘told everything they know.’
And y’all.
SOME OF THEM HAVE CHILDREN.
Ugh, I’m crying.
𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯.
How then?
How could they refuse to speak to me?
Even if you thought you knew nothing and couldn’t help, how could you refuse to try. Refuse to even speak to someone so frantically searching.
Hurting.
The lack of humanity.
Lack of empathy.
Lack of care for Jennifer’s and Adrianna’s lives.
I am baffled.
I am broken.
Our detectives and investigators agree that what will ultimately solve our case will be a small detail.
Something someone has held onto.
Nineteen years.
That they THOUGHT wasn’t a big deal.
That they thought, ‘nah, this won’t help’ or even thought, ‘I’ve already told this, why should I tell it again’
So this year, I beg.
I IMPLORE the community, his friends, their acquaintances, to please come forward.
Stand behind the victims’ family.
Break your silence.
.
.
.
Understand that one day… we will find out what happened.
I pray for those that have to live with knowing they could have helped. Or could have at least tried.
I mostly pray for their children.
I don’t know much about the court system, how it all works.
But I’d think, and assume, that if you helped solve #SpringfieldTn #crossplainstn and #robertsoncountytn biggest case, the repercussions would be lesser than holding onto information.
Protecting the ones responsible.
PLEASE. PLEASE MAKE THIS OUR LAST YEAR

Jennifer and Adrianna were last seen on March 25, 2004, at a gas station in Cross Plains.

Jennifer’s boyfriend at the time, Joey Benton, told police he dropped them off at the gas station and watched them leave in a white car. The next day, Benton said Jennifer came to his house in the same white car without Adrianna.

Police have never been able to confirm his story. Benton remains a person of interest, and the case is considered a homicide.
“You feel kind of helpless,” {Casey} Robinson said. “Especially 19 years gone by, I never want to say you lose hope, but the less and less leads that come in, it kind of leads us in the direction of they’re no longer with us.”
Robinson and Kathy Nale, Jennifer’s mother and Adrianna’s grandmother, met with the new detective on the case last week. They learned he has decades of experience with the Robertson County Sheriff’s Department and has solved a different cold case before.

Robinson told News 2 the investigators were excited about new movement in the case.

“After 19 years as a mother, you lose a little bit of faith in not just the people who are working on it for you, but the faith and the hope that you will ever get answers, so for (my mother) to sit beside me the other day and see the spark and their eyes light up like that, that was huge,” Robinson said.

Although Robinson and Nale want the person or people responsible for Jennifer and Adrianna’s disappearance brought to justice, they won’t rest until they are able to bring their family members home.
“Even if we were to find Jennifer and Adrianna, be able to lay them to rest and we never found out who did it, that’s all my mom wants. That’s all that we want,” Robinson said.

Family remembers missing woman on her 41st birthday

Jennifer and Adrianna Wix were last seen at a gas station in Cross Plains March 25, 2004, according to police.

Family remembers missing woman on her 41st birthday​

Jennifer Wix was 21 years old when she and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna, disappeared from Cross Plains in March of 2004. Since then, Jennifer’s family has spent 19 of her birthdays wondering what happened and praying they’ll soon be able to bring them both home.

Jennifer’s younger sister, Casey Robinson, told News 2 it’s difficult to imagine her sister as a 41-year-old, but she tried to picture what her birthday celebration would look like if she were here.

“We all go [out] to Mexican [restaurants]. It’s like my family’s thing, but if she were here, we would be putting the hat on her and sharing margaritas, and maybe she would be sending Adrianna back off to college and [feel] a little bit down, and we would be cheering her up,” Robinson said. “It’s weird to think about how they would be now.”


“Today, the birthdays, the anniversary, the holidays, it’s always a time of reminders for us to keep pushing their story out there,” Robinson said. “No matter if I put the case down for a bit, become overwhelmed with it, other things come in the way, priorities, these days always remind me it’s still here, it’s still a thing.”


Despite their hashtag #JusticeforJenniferandAdriannaWix, which Robinson and her mother created after Jennifer and Adrianna disappeared, their family told News 2 they’d rather bring them home than get justice.

“If you lost someone from an illness or God forbid a car accident, you have that closure. We do not have that,” Robinson said. “We do not need to know what happened. Hopefully we find out what happened, but our biggest goal is just locating them and laying them to rest.”

Robinson encouraged the Springfield and Cross Plains community to continue to talk about what happened to Jennifer and Adrianna to potentially generate more leads.

Two decades-old cold cases out of Robertson County remain unsolved

While there are several unsolved cold cases in communities across Tennessee, investigators in Robertson County have been haunted by two major cases that have remained open for decades.

Two decades-old cold cases out of Robertson County remain unsolved​

While there are several unsolved cold cases in communities across Tennessee, investigators in Robertson County have been haunted by two major cases that have remained open for decades.

One case involves the abduction and murder of a young girl, but all that is known of the suspect is a sketch created based on witness descriptions and two vans possibly connected to the crime. The other case is a mysterious disappearance of a mother and her daughter.

While it’s still unclear exactly what happened to Jennifer and Adrianna Wix, the case was reclassified as a homicide about 10 years ago. Both cases have rocked the communities where they occurred, with a former police chief calling the murder of Morgan Violi “horrific.”



It’s been nearly two decades since then-21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her 2-year-old daughter, Adrianna Wix, were reported missing on Saturday, March 27, 2004. The last time Jennifer and Adrianna’s family saw them was a few days earlier on March 24.

Jennifer’s boyfriend at the time, Joey Benton, told police he dropped them off at a gas station on March 25 near Exit 112 off Interstate 65 in Cross Plains and watched them leave in a white car. The next day, Benton said Jennifer came to his house in the same white car without Adrianna.

However, investigators have never been able to confirm Benton’s story. The case was reclassified as a homicide in 2013, and according to investigators, Benton remains a person of interest. A new detective recently took over the investigation in 2023 and has been reviewing the case.

Although Jennifer and Adrianna Wix’s family members want the person responsible brought to justice, they told News 2 in a February 2023 interview they won’t rest until they are able to bring Jennifer and her daughter home.

“Even if we were to find Jennifer and Adrianna, be able to lay them to rest and we never found out who did it, that’s all my mom wants. That’s all that we want,” Casey Robinson, Jennifer’s sister and Adrianna’s aunt, said.

Investigators believe it’s possible that Adrianna is still in the company of her mother. Adrianna has a birthmark on her right thigh and may go by the nickname “Nina.” She has blue eyes and brown hair and would now be 21 years old.

Jennifer had brown hair with red highlights when she was last seen. She has brown eyes and sometimes wears glasses. Jennifer also has a tribal tattoo on her back. Today, she would be 41 years old.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office at 615-384-7981 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND. Callers can stay anonymous and may be eligible for a reward. Tips can also be submitted online by clicking here.

In summary, the detective that was assigned to the case over 10 years ago, told me over the phone that he thought the girls were both buried on the Benton compound.

In summary, the detective that was assigned to the case over 10 years ago, told me over the phone that he thought the girls were both buried on the Benton compound.

Sadly that seems the most likely answer. I'd love to think mom and daughter are somewhere alive and living a life but I don't think they are. I really wish I did though.

Woman creating memorial mural for sister, niece missing for nearly 20 years​

Robertson County could be seeing a memorial mural in honor and remembrance of a missing mother and daughter.

It has been almost 20 years since 21-year-old Jennifer Wix and her two-year-old daughter, Adrianna, disappeared.

“We kind of believe in our heart. What we believe, we cannot lose that hope, and we have to forever keep searching unless we are 100% sure what happened,” said Casey Robinson, Jennifer’s youngest sister.

“Twenty years of limbo is what we have kind of been going through for years and years and years,” Casey explained. “I would say in recent years, it has turned more into a fight for not only justice, but for them and for Jennifer and Adrianna to find answers and honor their lives.”

Casey wants to give her family a place to go and feel close to Jennifer and Adrianna as they wait for answers.

“I wanted to give my family somewhere to go to feel close to Jennifer and Adrianna because we don’t have that, and it almost feels like we never will after 20 years,” Casey explained. “Of course we are hopeful, but this will give us somewhere to go if we want to have lunch together to remember Jennifer and Adrianna. We can stop by there, and we can leave flowers.”

She plans to have a memorial mural painted in their honor.

“It doesn’t say ‘missing 20 years,’ but just kind of is beautiful and is an art, and it grabs their attention,” Casey said. “That’s my goal, to represent Jennifer and Adrianna in a way that is not controversial, that honors them, memorializes them, helps people not to forget them.”

Casey told News 2 that she has already partnered with a local artist and plans to reveal the mural in either April or July, but she needs around $5,000 of an $8,000 goal to afford the artist.

Casey said the mural will be in Springfield or Cross Plains, the last two cities where Jennifer and Adrianna were seen alive.

In the meantime, Casey told News 2 she will continue fighting for answers and calling for public awareness until her sister and niece are found.

I’m so glad they made the news! And she found an artist! Last I read, she was still looking for the artist. I’m behind.
