MISSING for 20 years: JENNIFER & ADRIANNA WIX

Season 1, Ep. 26

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.

  • 37. Tennessee teen SEBASTIAN ROGERS is still missing: Interview with K9 handler CPT JULIA VALENTI

    41:08
    SEBASTIAN ROGERS has been missing for over 3 months, with no new leads at the moment (to the knowledge of the public). This tragic case seems to be frustrating to many; with so many new interviews and tidbits of information floating around the internet, coupled with law enforcement remaining tight-lipped. K9 handler and Army Captain JULIA VALENTI is on the ground in Tennessee with her two K9's, volunteering in the search for SEBASTIAN. VALENTI shares the importance of K9's in these types of investigations, and gives us a better idea of how they are trained etc- truly fascinating. We continue to hold out hope that SEBASTIAN will be found.1-800-TBI-FINDEPISODE NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS: FOLLOW JULIA: @k9_CPThttps://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-valenti-b7a73413a/https://www.newsnationnow.com/missing/100-motorcycles-ride-for-sebastian-rogers/https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/ride-vigil-and-cookout-planned-for-missing-sumner-county-teen-sebastian-rogers/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.

  • KAREN READ Murder trial wrap-up through day 14 with former criminal defense attorney, KIRK NURMI

    54:54
    John O'Keefe/Karen Read Series Coverage:KIRK NURMI is back (former criminal defense attorney for JODI ARIAS and legal commentator on COURT TV) to discuss the controversial KAREN READ Murder trial thus far. READ is on trial for allegedly killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer JOHN O'KEEFE, with her car."I would take a different approach or a different view of what he's doing. I think Mr. Lally is trying to negate the idea of a conspiracy before the defense comes up and puts on their case for a conspiracy. I think ultimately, in doing that, he's playing right into their hands because what we're hearing more of, is more evidence of a possible conspiracy, but not the actual crime. That's why I say if I was in the Commonwealth's position as their prosecutor, I'd be keeping it very simple, very straightforward. I don't care. I don't care what Julie Nagel has to say- I don't care about any of these people. I know that they're not helpful witnesses," - KIRK NURMIEPISODE NOTES AND DISLCLAIMER:THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.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. OPINION AND SPECULATION: THROUGHOUT THE PODCAST, THERE MAY BE INSTANCES WHERE OPINIONS AND/OR SPECULATION ARE EXPRESSED REGARDING CERTAIN EVENTS, INDIVIDUALS, OR CIRCUMSTANCES.
