At 17, Jennifer Wix welcomes her daughter, Adrianna Nicole. With support from her family, Jennifer finishes high school while raising the baby girl she lovingly nicknames Nina. At 19, Jennifer begins working nights and meets Joey Benton. They move in together at his parents’ home.
In late March, Jennifer suddenly stops contacting her family. She usually speaks with her mother at least once a day and frequently stays in touch with other relatives. Adrianna, 2, had been sick all week. After two days without contact, Jennifer’s family reports her missing.
The Robertson County Sheriff’s Office begins its investigation at the home Jennifer shares with her boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his parents, Joe and Cynthia Benton. Nothing appears out of place on the property, and foot searches reveal no sign of Jennifer or Adrianna.
Deputies follow up on several possible sightings of the mother and daughter, but the sightings either can’t be verified or are determined to be someone else.
