CORRUPTION: What happened to Grant Solomon?

While we work on our monthly episode about GRANT SOLOMON, we thought you may want to hear about another case in Tennessee that we covered on The Outlier Podcast:21-year-old JENNIFER WIX and her 2-year-old toddler ADRIANNA were last heard from on March 25, 2004, in Robertson County, Tennessee. The last person to allegedly have seen the mother and toddler was JENNIFER'S then boyfriend, JOEY BENTON. The two had an "on-again, off-again," tumultuous relationship, and BENTON'S father, JOE SR. has a dangerous criminal past, while BENTON himself has a history of violence. There were also possible allegations (and/or theories) of ADRIANNA potentially being molested, but the BENTON family quickly dismissed those claims. Fast forward to 2024, JOE BENTON SR. is serving time for the sexual exploitation of a minor. We have a lot of questions about this case- but first- we'll share what we know.The Outlier: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-outlier-podcast/id1723869713?i=1000653250521IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING JENNIFER AND ADRIANNA, PLEASE CONTACT 1-800-TBI-FIND.*Corrections: Officers did not need to obtain a search warrant for the Benton household, they simply waited an entire weekend before searching the house.*Exxon Mobile had recorded over footage from that evening by the time the footage was requestedEPISODE NOTES AND DISCLAIMER:RESEARCHER/WRITER: CELINE KERIK-IN ADDITION TO ROBERTSON COUNTY GOVERMENT REPORTS:https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/cold-case-spotlight/family-still-pushing-answers-2004-tennessee-disappearance-jennifer-adr-rcna146649https://www.wkrn.com/unsolved-tennessee/jennifer-and-adrianna-wix-cold-case-gets-new-detective/https://www.robertsonsheriff.com/2013/12/16/wix-case-reclassified-as-homicide/https://www.newschannel5.com/news/authorities-surround-springfield-home-in-robertson-countyhttps://datacommons.org/place/geoId/4718420?utm_medium=explore&mprop=count&popt=Person&hl=enhttps://www.robertsonsheriff.com/2013/12/16/wix-case-reclassified-as-homicide/https://robertson.tncrtinfo.com/crCaseForm.aspx?id=CCB11631-0C94-472E-A48D-CE02BB56900E&dsid=20aeb40aWHILE EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, WE WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES EXPRESSED BY THE INDIVIDUAL ARE THEIR OWN.

This week, we explore past litigation involving Gracie, Grant, Angie and Aaron with defense & trial attorney (and television legal analyst) MISTY MARRIS."There seems to be a lot of overlap between the court system, the church, the school in general. What you could do is you could raise that there's a conflict of interest with this judge. That would be the legal process that you could go through to say, this judge isn't going to be impartial and basis on the record," MISTY MARRIS ESQEPISODE NOTES AND DISCLAIMER:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13267941/family-grant-solomon-williamson-memorial-funeral-home-broken-ankles-death.html https://www.theblaze.com/news/teen-who-mysteriously-died-had-ankles-broken-and-personal-items-tossed-out-by-the-funeral-home-without-authorization https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdlvr.it%2FT5VnXY&h=AT3MyfGiNVXXoiQeqhVIWP4LfGDZqDYOFAIJn9BQPsSG7yc-ZViHN1vw6xLpJcDE_FqegyZAidGKyl83aIIa_luRU-vv7deyRv7xt4fZy-tS1qd_9Hj3tuNTb0GVtcHZQZISGA&s=1 https://www.grsm.com/lawyers/m/misty-dorothy-marris X- @MISTYMARRISWHILE EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, WE WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES EXPRESSED BY THE INDIVIDUAL ARE THEIR OWN AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS.  OPINION AND SPECULATION: THROUGHOUT THE PODCAST, THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE OPINIONS AND/OR SPECULATION ARE EXPRESSED REGARDING CERTAIN EVENTS, INDIVIDUALS, OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

We're joined by renowned forensic death investigator, JOSEPH SCOTT MORGAN (author, media contributor, professor at Jacksonville State U, and host of the BODY BAGS Podcast with CRIME ONLINE), who sheds light on measures that should have been taken (in his experience) with Grant Solomon, post fatal accident.

This week, we're revealing notes that Angie Solomon was advised to take- the week of Grant's death- when she and others had suspicions that Aaron Solomon's account of Grant's death appeared to inconsistent. According to Angie's notes, the story of what happened to Grant changed multiple times. As a reminder, here is his official witness statement to the police:"My son Grant and I pulled in WPI separately, parked side by side. I was still in my car but noticed my son get out to get his baseball gear out of the back of his truck. I looked down to check a work email and the next thing I know, I hear and see the truck rolling backwards into the ditch. I get out of the car to find my son and saw that he was trapped underneath the truck and immediately called 911."Trigger Warning: The following episode includes allegations of domestic abuse and sexual assault. EPISODE NOTES AND DISCLAIMER:WHILE EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, WE WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES EXPRESSED BY THE INDIVIDUAL ARE THEIR OWN AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS. ANGIE SOLOMON'S NOTES ARE FROM HER OWN POINT OF VIEW, HOWEVER, MUCH OF WHAT SHE STATED HAS BEEN BACKED UP WITH COURT DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDINGS. OPINION AND SPECULATION: THROUGHOUT THE PODCAST, THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE OPINIONS AND/OR SPECULATION ARE EXPRESSED REGARDING CERTAIN EVENTS, INDIVIDUALS, OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Daily Mail released a feature about Grant, and spoke to DA Whitley and the Gallatin PD. We have some thoughts on this and a few other Tennessee topics this week. "Thank you for inquiry about the Grant Solomon case. This is a closed investigation,"- The Gallatin PD. Additionally… this broke after we recorded.
