CORRUPTION: What happened to Grant Solomon?
Cross Promotion: Another TN case, MISSING FOR 20 YEARS: JENNIFER AND ADRIANNA WIX
Season 2
•
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.

*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 requested
