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.

Animals can sever body parts once they start to decay. Especially if they were fighting over the find. Plus, there was water involved. I'm not saying it wasn't a human, I'm just saying that's not the only conclusion.

From upthread.

Springfield authorities have confirmed a leg found near a creek in July belongs to a man accused in a wrongful death lawsuit, filed a month before the severed appendage was discovered, of murdering a mother and daughter at the center...

That doesn't change anything...?
It doesn't say it was sawed or chopped or dismembered.
Animals are capable of severing remains, as she said.

It changes something that his head was found too. Now we know he is dead. Was it murder, suicide or natural causes now has to be determined if they have enough to determine that. They should be able to determine if it was animal or human severance, i would imagine.
 
They found more remains in the creek last October and they are being tested.

SPRINGFIELD, TN — Human remains discovered over the course of several days along Sulphur Fork Creek have renewed focus on a decades-old missing persons case involving a mother and daughter who disappeared in 2004.
The first body part, found July 4, was identified as belonging to 68-year-old Joseph Frank Benton Sr., according to police. Benton was one of the last people known to see Jennifer and Adrianna Wix. At the time, Jennifer was dating Benton’s son.

Additional remains found​

On Saturday, a young boy discovered a skull in the same area of the creek, which prompted a search by police.
DETAILS: Young boy finds human skull near creek on Springfield Greenway​

When the Wix family learned of this new discovery, they went there themselves and said they found more remains. They released the following statement:
“Earlier today, our family discovered additional human remains at the Springfield Greenway near Sulphur Fork Creek. Out of respect for the ongoing investigation, we won’t be sharing more about what was found and will leave that to investigators.
A young boy found a human skull… something no child should ever have to experience. We are pleading with the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office to address the community regarding these recent discoveries and our ongoing case. The remains are likely that of Joseph Benton, one of the last individuals known to see Jennifer and Adrianna before their disappearance.”
Police used dive teams and cadaver dogs to search for remains over the span of multiple days.

Police investigation ongoing​

Springfield police said they used underwater dive and K9 cadaver units to search for possible bone remains on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The department confirmed that those remains are being tested at the medical examiner’s office. No identification has been made.
Residents who frequent the greenway said the discoveries have left them with questions. Erin and Sherree Bush, who walk the area regularly, said they can’t help but be on alert.
“We’ve talked every day, every time we went walking, I think, since they found the leg, we’ve mentioned it,” Erin Bush said.
They said they expected more information from authorities about the discoveries.
“They didn’t really share much more detail about it,” Erin Bush said.
“We would have expected to hear a lot more on something like that,” Sherree Bush added.
Questions remain about the identity of all potential human remains found, how they came to be in the creek and their connection to the 2004 missing persons case.
