Jennifer Kay Wix was 21 and her daughter Adrianna was 2 when both vanished from Cross Plains, Tennessee, after the last confirmed family contacts on March 24 and the morning of March 25, 2004. During the March 24 call Jennifer told her mother she’d had a fight with her live-in boyfriend, William Joseph Joey Benton, and said she feared her living situation at his family’s rural property; she refused an offer to be picked up and insisted she could handle it.

Benton was the last person known to have seen them and gave shifting accounts to investigators: at one point he said he dropped them at an Exxon near Interstate 65 on the evening of March 25 and watched them get into a white four-door car; later he said Jennifer returned alone the next day to request her income tax return; he also said she left with an unknown friend. Jennifer was found to have left without her car, money or personal items. Searches of the Benton property, including draining a pond, yielded no evidence.

In December 2013 the investigation was reclassified from missing persons to homicide.

Does anyone who lived in or passed through the Cross Plains area in March 2004 recall seeing Jennifer, Adrianna or a white four-door car near the Exxon or Benton property?
